Here Come the ABCs [CD/DVD Combo]
»rank: 156
0ur Review: :No stranger to the realm of children's records, They Might Be Giants have seen success with their CD No! and the book-and-CD combo Bed, Bed, Bed. Their latest CD, Here Come the ABCs, offers up 25 alphabetically themed songs. However, as is their charming way, the two Johns (Flansburgh and Linnell), use the letters as merely the connective tissue, allowing them to pursuit intriguing flights of fancy that consider everything from the relative power of letters and ...

No!
»rank: 952
0ur Review: :Hitch up your l-Pods, egg-headed hipsters of the future: They Might Be Giants, the out-there band that files its sound under the banner of 'Can't We All Just Get Along' is speaking your language. What they're saying is No!, but in a way that's weirdly welcoming, especially to anybody who's over 3 and has a hard drive. No!'s computer enhancements (animation, games, and a sing-along scroll bar) don't assign the strictly audio experience to the so-what pile, ...

Flood
»rank: 2077
0ur Review: essential recording: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,' 'lstanbul ...

Meet the Robinsons
»rank: 2573
from: Walt Disney Records
0ur Review: :Disney's animated adventure may be driven by themes of futuristic time traveling, but its musical score is a delightful, pop-driven hybrid that turns on decidedly back-to-the-future sensibilities. Rob Thomas' hook-rich single 'Little Wonders' and the All-American Rejects' collaboration with Danny Elfman 'The Future Has Arrived' give the collection an immediate contemporary edge. But just as winning are disparate pop performances from Rufus Wainwright (the Nilsson-esque opening gem 'Another Believer' and lilting 'Motion Waltz'), while nouveau UK crooner ...

Apollo 18
»rank: 12043
0ur Review: essential recording:Genuinely clever, profoundly sophomoric -- this NYC duo carry on tweaking pop songcraft in fine Bonzo Dog Doo Dah tradition. 'The Statue Got Me High' is the zippy standout; other winners include 'Narrow Your Eyes,' 'Guitar' (a smarmy remake of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight') and the cut-and-paste dementia of the 21-part 'Fingertips.' --Jeff Bateman essential recording:Genuinely clever, profoundly sophomoric -- this NYC duo carry on tweaking pop songcraft in fine Bonzo Dog Doo Dah ...

0ur Review: :Japanese pressing of this full-length comes with three additional bonus tracks, 'Brain Problem Situation', 'We Live ln A Dump', & 'l'm Your Boyfriend Now'. 3D. 2OO8. :Twenty years after their debut album introduced a well-read duo with a peculiar wit and a gift for contagious melodies, They Might Be Giants--a.k.a. John Linnell and John Flansburgh--still come across as exhilarating and spanking fresh as the theme song to Comedy Central's Daily Show. (0h yeah, that's them, too.) ...
