Pros: Classic TMBG tunes truely brought to life! Cons: "She's an Angel" and "Ana NG" are slaughtered. Predictable song selection.
Live albums can often be useless. While live shows are usually the best way to experience any real band, it's somewhat pointless on record. Sloppier versions of the albums with crowd noise in between songs. It's just not the same as being there, and...
Pros: Breathes new life into some really great songs Cons: If you don't like the TMBG, you don't like TMBG
They Might Be Giants began its musical career as two dorks with a drum machine- all their early albums featured their signature catchy, bizarre ditties backed up by flat, rat-a-tat-tat programmed beats and a lot of synths. Around the time of the...
Pros: Amazing Collection of Songs, Fun Alternative Rock, Good For Fans of Any Types of Music, Originality, On-Stage Improvisation, High Quality for EVERY TRACK! Cons: None!
I have many goals. One of them is to seduce sock puppets. Another one is to finally escape from the planet of the apes. And one of the not-so-trite ones is to make sure everybody in the world own this They Might Be Giants album. The two Johns have...
Pros: Fantastic. Cons: bonus tracks aren't THAT great...
If "Then: The Earlier Years" is the historian's essential Giants album, Severe Tire Damage (Which I won't refer to as "STD") is somewhat less sedate compendium. Old TMBG fans will be thrilled to hear their favorite studio tracks...
Pros: Good live sound, covers all TMBG albums, good new material at beginning Cons: Planet of the Apes songs suck, I prefer the studio albums sometimes.
I have every TMBG album, and I love this one, just like I love all of them. If you already know you're a TMBG fan, I would recommend you purchase all of their studio albums before this one, but it's still definitely worth buying to top off your...
Pros: ever changing style for everyone, insane lyrics, an all-around fun fest! Cons: Their attempts at being musically serious.
Who knew that the two-person band called "They might be Giants" would turn out to be a huge ensamble of orchastrated trumpets, tubas, saxiphones, accordians and electric guitars? Obviously, not me. My first "TMBG" experiance was...
Pros: both mellow and energetic...a great cd! Cons: no cons, unless you listen to it a million times on end.
if you had to buy one they might be giants album, this would be it. there is not a dud on "severe tire damage", and actually, some songs (such as "she's an angel" and "ana ng") are addictive, like coffee for the soul. tmbg...
Pros: Planet of the Apes Cons: Not enough early live performances.
While still considered to be a one-joke band, They Might Be Giants should wear this "inditement" as a badge of honor; given the most obane statements are often found in the realms of humor.
Pros: AMAZING DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER Cons: ZIP NOTHING IS WRONG
This album is a must have for anyone who is a TMBG fan or is considering becoming one. The album has newer more upbeat versions to all the great tmbg songs. I can never listen "Till my head falls off" without bobbing my head to the beat....
Pros: the album is set up in a way that you know a few and a few not-so known ones are thrown in to make you curious what they are Cons: ...nothing
So the first song that I heard on the radio by They Might Be Giants was SEXXY and let me tell you how much I liked that song, and since then I have been a fan. Not too long ago I walked into the record store and couldn't decide which album to buy. I...
You know, it appears if you hear the same thing nine thousand different ways, you get tired of it. Such as it is with Severe Tire Damage. It's all live and it's not all terribly interesting. I always had this thing about going to see bands live, and now...
