For the past month, fans have been getting peeks at the Lonely Island’s upcoming release, The Wack Album, through the group’s #WACKWEDNESDAYS campaign, beginning with “Spring Break Anthem” and most recently “Spell It Out.” The heavy Internet presence seems natural for the group, much of whose initial success went hand-in-hand with the rise of YouTube and the e-popularity of their “Lazy Sunday” video. It’s possible that fans might think, “Wait, though – we’ve gotten so many songs already.

The album will be released on June 11th and features guests spots from Hugh Jackman, Kristen Wiig, Robyn, Too $hort, Billie Joe Armstrong, and a bunch more FAVES.
