Incredi-GOOD AS FUCK

As promised, here is my comprehensive review of "Incredibad," The Lonely Island album that came out today. Since it's not on the real Metacritic, I guess this is the only place where you can actually get a totally 100% trustworthy rating.
This album busts hard as fuck. Seriously. For a comedy album, the production value is unbelievable. This isn't Weird Al just lifting beats and making straight up parodies. These are legit pro-quality hip-hop beats; the whole album sounds like Timbaland had sex with LCD Soundsystem and Scott Storch videotaped it and jerked off to it at the same time. It's really unbelievable how well this album works together sonically.
A lot of the songs are just re-mastered versions of the SNL Digital Shorts: Jizz in My Pants, I'm on a Boat, Lazy Sunday, We Like Sports, Ras Trent, Dick in a Box, Space Olympics, and Natalie's Rap all appear on the album. Even though I've heard all these songs before--some of them a lot of times--they're still fucking amazing. Like I said yesterday about I'm on a Boat, these beats are fucking legit--Jorma Taccone is one of the best producers in hip-hop right now--and the lyrics are always good enough if not LQTM-hilarious.
The songs that we haven't heard before are, for the most part, awesome and fucking hilarious. I'm a Boss is a great tribute to the original "Bowss," Ricky Rowssss (also, the beat on this track goes so fucking hard). Jack Black kills it as the only singer on Sax Man, which is funny as frogs. Norah Jones also sings an infectious hook on Dream Girl, a fantastic simultaneous tribute to fugly sluts and Chex-Mix. But my personal favorite was Boombox, which features Julian Casablancas, the lead singer of The Strokes. This is sick on two levels: 1) the song busts extremely hard, and JC goes trackicidal on the faux-Timbo hook and 2) it shows the popularity of The Lonely Island in the industry; seriously, who else can get T-Pain, Norah Jones, and the lead singer of The Strokes on one album? It's also great because they're appealing to kids who wear skinny jeans, rock ironically oversized wayfarers, and smoke cigarettes (which is kind of ironic, because you wouldn't expect slowly ruining your body to be cool). Here's the track:



I would've been satisfied if the "new" songs all sucked and they still included the classics. But pretty much every song on this album is, at the least, sick. The highs are so fucking high that they border on GTOAT (TD). Overall, I give it an 8.5, which I've attempted to convert into the Metacricket rating system by employing an extremely complicated trigonometrical algorithm which will no doubt confuse most of our readers/contributors.
