    This album is everything you imagine it to be. It is funny, while still being an album that you want to listen to. There are songs that you have seen on youtube, and probably watched many times, but then there are the songs that have not been heard yet and, for the most part, you'll find yourself hoping for a music video for them. The album also contains small skits that are an entertaining interlude between songs.

    The only cons are that there are songs that will likely fall flat for many listeners, and the entire album itself is very short for having 18 tracks. There are also songs that Andy was apart of, but it was never made clear that they are lonely island songs, so to hear them on the album seems like a track filler. These are still great songs, but they are not the material you expected for the second album.

    All in all, very funny, and a very entertaining album that lives up to all its promises.    … Expand

    If you are down with good tunes and lubricant, then jam out to this album. Great follow up to Incredibad and great buy with the included videos. Make sure the bass is turned way up!

    Crude, offensive and loaded with strong crude humor, Turtleneck & Chain is just pure mockery art. And if you wanna say it straight it's just pure art!

    Turtleneck & Chain is the ultimate album. It has a fantastic array of songs, from the old-school beats and style of "Rocky" to the bassy synth of "Turtleneck & Chain". With two hilariously fun "Classy Skits" injected between songs, as well as nine of their videos, this is the ultimate entertainment package. I mean come on, how can you not laugh at Samberg & Timberlake suggesting "We should f*ck each other's moms!"… Expand

    Aside from a few trip ups, this CD is drop dead hilarious. All of these songs are worth listening to except: "We're Back", "Rocky", "Trouble on Dookie Island", and "After Party". The rest of the songs are great. "Jack Sparrow" and "I just had Sex" are the two that stand out as the best songs. And then songs like "Japan", "Threw it on the ground", "The Creep", and "Motherlover" are right behind. Absolutely great CD.
    I didn't think they could beat Incredibad, and though they don't have a song as good as "I'm on a boat" on This CD, its still better.    … Expand

    I only liked 4 songs on this album. Rather suprising considering that I liked their first album quite a bit. I thought a majority of the album was trash and not even worth listening to. A rather disapointing album imo.

    The Lonely Island continues to remind us that taking life too seriously isn't nearly as fun as putting bags over our heads during fellatio or shitting our pants during bank robberies.

    Parody is hard to sustain. That this follow-up provides so many laughs without flailing around in can-you-top-this? is a tribute to the comedians' musicality and their musician friends' sense of comedy.

    The Saturday Night Live trio pick up where they left off with 2009's Incredibad.
