They Might Be Giants Album....

Finally got round to buying it on CD...heh

Used to listen to this album when i did a paper round some 16 years ago (omg..was it that long?) on cassette, which i 'borrowed' from my sisters collection....lol

every morning, the whole album on a non-autoreverse (in other words a pain) Toshiba walkman was listened to twice.....

amazing stuff to be honest, something to really get the mind working....

anyone else on here heard this album? thoughts on the various tracks and their composition etc?

I never bought flood, I think the major label thing put me off.....but I love Lincoln so I would probably like Flood ?

Re: Flood

Superb album, my bro had it on tape about 150 years ago and i loved it, still do. Way ahead of its time and really different. My fave has to be Dead or Particle Man!!

Re: Flood

Curiously I dug this out again yesterday after a few years and enjoyed it. Particle Man is definitely the best.
