The Lucky Ones is the eighth studio album by American rock band Mudhoney, released on Sub Pop Records on May 20, 2008.

[8] As singer and rhythm guitarist Mark Arm has said, "The effect is to thrust out the bottom-end rumble of drummer Dan Peters and bassist Guy Maddison, and to bring about a cohesive whole not entirely ruled by the almighty riff—although you certainly don't have to look hard to find 'em.

[10] The ninth track on the album is titled "Tales of Terror"[11] in honor of the Sacramento hardcore punk band Tales of Terror that influenced and inspired the grunge movement.

It is the only Mudhoney album to not feature Arm as second guitarist.

Main guitarist Steve Turner said in 2018, "I liked how sparse this record was... we wrote these songs fast and they just seemed like they didn't need a second guitar.
