Wilson took the duo into the studio to record ''[[Land Air Sea]]'', which was initially released in 2003 on N.O.S. Recordings, then reissued in 2004 with Epitaph, in a remixed/reordered edition.  The band toured extensively behind this release, including an opening slot for the [[Foo Fighters]]. Coincidentally, both bands were fronted by the drummer from another influential band.

The Special Goodness booked studio time and apparently recorded a full album's worth of material in 2006, but the material was scrapped.  Word has it Wilson quelled its release due to concerns over commercial viability. With Weezer active since 2007, it is unclear when The Special Goodness will tour or record again.

After several reports by Wilson in late 2011 that a new Special Goodness album was supposedly recorded, the third full length studio album ''[[Natural]]'' was eventually released digitally on May 22, 2012. However, Willard was not involved in the making of the album.


The band's name comes from Wilson's description of how he feels when making music, and was an early vote of his for Weezer's name.
