Editorial Reviews
Most bands are too afraid to step up to the bat. They are scared that life is going to throw them different kinds of curve balls. But for more than fifteen years, Trans Am has fearlessly stepped up, taken their swings and thrown a few curve balls of their own. Few bands can say they've toured the Canadian mountains with TOOL, and fewer still can say they played their first tour opening for Tortoise. Trans Am a-la 2010 is a band of veterans unafraid to contradict themselves, confident in their identity even as confounding as that identity has been for their fans over the years.
Thing represents a further attempt by the band to further remove themselves not just from various indie-rock labels, but music itself. One of Thing's requirements was that each track contain a completely non-musical element, preferably something with a sonic signature that was not even necessarily a sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very solid release,

This review is from: Thing (Audio CD)
I love the hint of a science fiction/horror theme in this CD, which is right up Trans AM's alley. Could easily be a sound track to a movie about a giant human devouring arachnid robot on a distant planet. Honestly, I have forgotten about this band since about 2000, but have gone back and fell in love with their live album, Sex Change, Thing, You Can Always Get What You Want, and even Liberation. It seems as if their musicianship has advanced, but Thing manages to be almost predictable. I have to agree with the previous reviewer's statement, "Nothing new here." But this album is still definitely worth owning.

This review is from: Thing (Audio CD)
I've been following these guys since the beginning and have also enjoyed them live. They've apparently run out of ideas. Nothing new here, I'm sorry to say.If you're looking for something different in instrumental alternative/post-rock, check out Drums & Tuba. I would suggest starting with VINYL KILLER.
