Album Review
Cutting away some of the artier aspects of their debut, They Might Be Giants craft another wildly eclectic and geekily fun collection of alt-pop with Lincoln. In general, the album displays greater musical ambition than its predecessor, especially since the duo have trimmed many of the weirder excesses of the debut. Without such arty trappings, their gift for irresistible pop hooks becomes all the more clear, with "Ana Ng," "Purple Toupee," the Latin shuffle of "The World's Address," "Santa's Beard," the surprisingly affecting "They'll Need a Crane," and the lounge jazz of "Kiss Me, Son of God" standing out among the 18 songs. And when They Might Be Giants don't go for the hooks, as on "Pencil Rain" or "Cage & Aquarium," they prove to be expert musical satirists, which means that Lincoln is every bit as infectious as the debut.
Customer Reviews
Here Comes The Atheism!
No review could make me want to listen to this CD more than "This is atheist propaganda and extremely stupid music". So enjoy the CD y'all. Fun times ahead if you're open to them.
Lincoln - A 3 star album from a 5 star band
'Lincoln' might not be their best stuff They Might Be Giants ever did, but they were coming into their own on this one. What would become the bands familiar signature sound is heard more here than on their first album.
Of course Ana Ng is a classic that stands out among some lesser known tunes but don't be so quick to pass them by, there's a few hidden gems here.
I wouldn't recommend Lincoln for anyone just being introduced to the band (for that, immediately go download Flood) but Lincoln is a must have album for the not-so-casual fan.
