Free Music Review: "Why'd they change it I can't say..."
Hit: 4 Stars
"...People just liked it better that way!"
Regardless if you've ever heard a TMBG album or not, you know these songs can get into your head. Just give a listen to the theme song for Malcolm In The Middle and see if you can get it out of your head. It's dork rock that every certified dork and inner dork will enjoy.
They Might Be Giants is for anybody who loves singing along to the monk chant or the Knights of the Round Table song in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If you remember Tiny Toons in the 90's, you probably remember Particle Man and Istanbul. It's the celebrated dorkiness, sing-along fun for anybody who loved Raffi as a kid (heck, these guys make songs about the sun! Yes, the sun in the sky, with some science stuff as well), with a blend of stupid, dork, and half serious, half fun topics on songs like Lucky Ball and Chain. Since the album has a variety of styles, here's a short description of what to expect.
*1.Theme From Flood-A short chorus of voices, about nothing. Great open.
*2.Birdhouse in Your Soul-A song about a nightlight, it's catchy beyond belief. Trust me on that one. Great music video as well.
*3.Lucky Ball and Chain-A song about being left. What else?
*4.Istanbul-A bit of a world sound. This one is CATCHY. Sing it loud!
*5.Dead-A vocal based song, totally random. Lyrics about being a bag of grocerys?
*7.Particle Man-See 4. Only without a world sound.
*8.Twisting-Easily could be for kindergardeners. That rules, of course.
*9.We Want A rock-Non serious song number 9, the title says it all.
*10.Someone Keep Moving My Chair-see 9.
*14.Whistling in The Dark-Monty Python indeed.
*17.Sapphire Bullets of Love-This one could go in a cartoon, thanks to that Vibraphone (or at least I think it's one). Good one.
Well, I could go on and on, but the whole album is for those people who know how to have fun and live their life! I'm in! Oh, and for parents who are sick of hearing The Wiggles and Dora the Explorer, you can't make them listen to the Nutcracker forever. They need some pop sensibility!
There's Flood, basically. It's nothing to deep anyway. You only live once.
7.5/10
Flood Poster
TMBG has always been a great reason for math and computer science majors to add a real rock album to their collection of John Williams and Weird Al records--and Flood is a bacchanalian celebration of dorkiness. Lifting off from their previous album, Lincoln, which was a sort of transitional hit-or-miss, Flood is a soaring, catchy sing-along album destined for people who love quoting Monty Python sketches. Try not singing the words to "Particle Man," "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," or "Birdhouse in your Soul." (Apparently, "Particle Man" was so catchy that the song was later used as a sing-along in a cartoon show for children.) Combining a book-smart, funny love of history, junk culture, and film noir, this is the album to own. Put it on loud, sing along, and dance very, very badly. --Todd LevinAlternative Rock Music CDs
