Album Notes The Lonely Island: Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone. While the accompanying DVD is the ideal way to experience the Lonely Island's (aka Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer) lauded digital short sketches, their satirical rap-and-R&B jams hold up surprisingly well without visual accompaniment. And it doesn't hurt that old classics like "Lazy Sunday" have been revamped with guest vocalists like Jack Black, Julian Casablancas, and E-40. Their contributions are a testament to the trio's knack for selecting worthy cultural trends for skewering, and the wit and creative energy behind their cut-ups. "I'm On A Boat" (featuring T-Pain) is a perfect example--boiling down typical hip-hop gloating to its implicit essence, without sounding out of touch or condescending. For a double-disc, audio/video comedy collection, there are shockingly few moments without laughter.
Industry Reviews 3 stars out of 5 -- Spoofing R&B and club hits, the trio's debut CD-DVD features hits like 'Lazy Sunday'....'Like a Boss' is a Dirty South anthem that's absurd enough for Lil Wayne.
The genius of the songs is in pairing in-your-face lyrical humor with a faithful musical tribute.
