/mu/tants, what is your opinion on They Might Be Giants?
>>61111525
First times I heard them was on Tiny Toons and Kablam. I can't think of a reason to seek them out now but I wouldn't turn the dial if I heard them playing.
Autistic sporkcore
Peaked with Flood
Ween if Ween wasn't interesting
>>61111525
my introduction to music, really. my favorite.
>>61111589
it's funny because it's one of their worst albums
>>61111609
I'm overlooking any great TMBG if I only know Flood, Lincoln, Apollo 18, and S/T?
>>61111609
I feel like the weakest point is with Road Movie to Berlin. Aside from that, it's pretty good.
>>61111653
Their newest non-children's album, Glean, has some decent songs on it.
>>61111601
you do realise they were way before ween right
not even comparable anyway
>>61111601
Are Ween funny? I've never listened to them but part of the reason I like TMBG is that their music is so funny and gleeful

you decide
>>61111653
yes, John Henry, Factory Showroom, The Spine, Join Us and Nanobots
all better than Flood
>>61111655
istanbul and particle man get old really fast. The self-titled song is total shit compared to the demo. never liked twisting either.
I always just assume that people are drawn to flood because of the nostalgia. I didn't discover TMBG until a couple years ago and sort of took all the albums in at once.
>>61111669
Glean is ok. I think Why? is more interesting musically for the most part
>>61111782
Oh I like Factory Showroom but I missed the others. Cheers
>>61111722
Interesting, not really what I expected. Certainly a different kind of humor than TMBG. Is all of their stuff pastiche?
>>61111851
>Is all of their stuff pastiche?
not all

I dunno, are they giants?
>>61111911
They might be
>>61111911
For you.
The Else is the best TMBG album, even the band admits it. Tightly structured, killer tunes, minimal levels of autism, production by the Dust Brothers.
>>61112205
I always really hated Take Out The Trash and The Mesopotamians for some reason. They just rub me the wrong way. Rest is fantastic though, yeah
They're fun without being comedy/spork
10/10 band, some of the first albums I listened to start to finish
Experimental Film is their only great song everything else ranges from boring to okay. Fight me.

what about doctor worm
>>61111525
I don't know, can you repeat the question?
