"They Might Be Giants" grow up and become . . . giants (?)

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2002

Continuing in the direction set by "John Henry", TMBG has never sounded more like a full band than in this album. While "Factory Showroom" sounded a little half-hearted, "Mink Car" is full-blown TMBG. You will grin, laugh, and generally bop to the sounds in this album.
Everything in this album has a polish that is worthy of a top studio effort, from the numerous guest musicians to the detailed liner graphics, even as the songs peck at genres as diverse as hip-hop and disco. Without the hilarious lyrics, for example, a casual listener might mistake "Man, It's So Loud In Here" for a Pet Shop Boys B-side. Production values have never been so high for this band of "John's" and "Dan's". The credits even dutifully thank the microphones that were used for the recording sessions, microphones that they surely could not have afforded earlier in their career. This obviously high-budget approach is especially apparent next to the raw sound of "Lincoln" which now sounds like it was funded by several weeks of mac-and-cheese dinners and mixed in their basement.
Mind you, I love the unpolished sound of the early TMBG albums, but I have no doubt that this charm was serendipity at its best and could never be replicated again with John and John's new-found popularity and growth as song writers. "Factory Showroom" was puberty. Welcome to TMBG's adulthood. Don't worry, they have not lost their sense of humor.
Listening to this album feels like reuniting with your fun-loving 25 year old cousin whom you last saw when he was 10.

Great fun, for the most part

At first listen I wasn't quite sure what to make of this; I thought maybe I'd made another mistake on some old favorite's "long-awaited new album". But by the second time through it seemed to make more sense. By turns inventive and hilarious, this is indeed They Might Be Giants, although the vibe feels different at first. I actually like the funky stuff like "Mr. Xcitement" and "Wicked Little Critta". And I feel like I should hate the programmed dance electronica of "Man, It's So Loud In Here," but I really don't. I can't put my finger on it, but I think it's actually quite a brilliant song. And other songs with their absurdly funny imagery; "I've Got A Fang" ('glistening white triangular tooth, open up a can of tomato juice'), "Hovering Sombrero", etc. really hit the mark, too. Also in the mix are just more of the same familiar TMBG brilliance like "Bangs". I actually quite like what they did with "Another First Kiss" although some seem disappointed in it compared with the faster version. "Older", however, I find super-annoying (I'm sure it's intentional), and a few other songs are just a bit slow. But on the whole, I quite like this album. Listen to it more than once before you make a judgement.
Saw them live here in Austin a couple nights ago, and it was one of the best shows I've been to--great rockin' fun, and a terrific set. They were really tight, and really seem to have fine-tuned their live act to maximum effect. Don't miss them on their current tour if you get the chance!

When I found myself liking several songs on this album, I knew I had to have it. Not TMBGs best, but still a pretty darn good album with some awesome catchy songs! I'll admit it gets some playtime in my car.
