When I first heard this album I was a bit shocked. Myself and my fellow TMBG fans derided it as a "teen angst album," moaned and whined that John & John had betrayed us by adding a band, and generally refused to give it a chance.
A few years later, listening to my entire collection of TMBG in chonological order (a sanity-restoration ritual), I realized that this album is AWESOME!
There are only 2 stupid songs, Window and DirtBike. Hey, for TMBG, that's not bad - their fans forgive them stupidity on a regular basis.
Aside from that, there are more rockin', thought-provoking tunes here than you'll find almost anywhere. This album establishes beyond a doubt that TMBG are among the most gifted songwriters in rock history.
I'm not going to go over each individual song - there are millions of TMBG fans who have and will. I will add my 2 cents about my 4 favorites however:
"I Should be Allowed to Think" - TMBG does justice to beat poetry, and beyond!
"Why Must I Be Sad?" - Funny and pissy, great for getting those pesky emotions unstuck. The lyrics are genius, subtly quoting the best of Alice Cooper with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
"A Self Called Nowhere" - Righteous, angry, and breathtaking. Angsty punk bands of the world, take note: you will NEVER be this hardcore.
"The End of the Tour" - I have written in my last wishes that I want this one played at my funeral. One of the most moving and emotionally honest rock ballads ever written.
If your idea of TMBG is songs like "Istanbul" and "Particle Man," get over it! And give this album a chance!
Song "This Ape’s For You"
This Ape's for you
He's coming atcha
This ape's for you
He wants to love you

Random Shuffle - 03/13/07 (Blogcritics.org)
?Clap Your Hands? ? They Might Be Giants From No My wife is generally a demure little woman. It is not that she isn?t happy, or doesn?t enjoy life, it is simply that she rarely gets really excited over something. I suspect that George Clooney (the hottest of hotties, don?t ya know?) could walk up to her, plant a wet one on her lips, hand her two tickets to Paris and a thousand dollars and ...

A Q&A with OK Go (Isthmus)
Bass player Tim Nordwind isn't the lead singer of OK Go, but he plays one in the band's gloriously low-budget viral videos for "A Million Ways" and "Here It Goes Again." A few days before their Jack Daniel's sponsored Studio 7 show at the High Noon Saloon, he took some time to explain to me how that came about, to reflect on special Madison memories, and to answer my most important question.

?Explosion? a worthy spin (Times Leader)
There?s no shortage of bands that achieved some level of success despite taking on names that are downright weird (They Might Be Giants, Crack The Sky, to name few). Then along comes Explosions in the Sky, a quartet from Austin, Texas that appears to be breaking more than a few rules.
And you will know them by ... their crazy name Bands have adopted some bizarr...
What's really in a band's name? Recognition. Laughs. Scorn. Repulsion. A reaction. A band just wants notice. And its name can make for a powerful first impression -- good or bad.
