Professional Review:
Hitch up your I-Pods, egg-headed hipsters of the future: They Might Be Giants, the out-there band that files its sound under the banner of "Can't We All Just Get Along" is speaking your language. What they're saying is No!, but in a way that's weirdly welcoming, especially to anybody who's over 3 and has a hard drive. No!'s computer enhancements (animation, games, and a sing-along scroll bar) don't assign the strictly audio experience to the so-what pile, but at certain moments they seem necessary--how else are you supposed to decipher a song ("Violin") whose only words are "violin," "hippo," and the ticking off of fractional segments of George Washington's head? Of course, to try to make sense of the 17 tunes contained here may be to miss the point. While TMBG's lyrical and vocal hijinks can be off-putting to grownups prone to self-consciousness about not getting the joke, the generation No! takes aim at needs nothing in the way of validation. Thus the brilliance of baggage-free ditties like "Fibber Island," where the natives strum rubber guitars and sew buttons on cars, "John Lee Supertaster," a rock & roll fantasy following a hero with heightened senses of sweet and sour, and "I Am a Grocery Bag," detailing what's bumping around in brown paper after a trip to the market. With their triumph over the tube (TMBG took home a Grammy for the theme to Malcolm in the Middle and perform and wrote the intro to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart), frontmen John Linnell and John Flansburgh have already infiltrated the family market, sort of. No! finds the band bending to a level lots of other giants might overlook, but without cramping up. Given the right reach, They Could Be Kiddie Icons. -Tammy La Gorce

   Summary: Fun for old and young!
My four grandchildren, ages 16 months to 4 years, love this cd. The important thing is, so do I! We dance all around the kitchen and I find myself singing along on most songs. I have purchased this cd for other children and the parents all enjoy it.

   Summary: Interesting... but so far only one good song....
Was disappointed in this, and only found "Fibber Island" to be the only really good catchy tune.

Although I do applaud TMBG for going with Amazon and allowing their music to go DRM Free (thank you!!!).

   Summary: A favorite CD for the entire family!
We absolutely LOVE this CD! I like that the music seems more "real" than most kid CDs and the words are humorous and fun to sing along with. When we first got this CD, we went on a 2,000 mile car trip and I think we listened to this CD for about 1000 of those miles! This is also a great CD to dance around the living room to - we've had loads of fun with this CD and I highly recommend it to anyone with a preschooler or grade schooler.

   Summary: My kids love this CD
Both my children, ages 18 months and 4 years, LOVE this CD. It took me a while to warm up to it, but now I know the words to every song. When I put this on, both kids will dance & sing along. The baby sometimes just stands & listens, which is unusual for him.

The whole album is now on my mp3 player and their absolute favorite is the violin song. This may not be for everyone, but we really enjoy it.

   Summary: Great kids music that doesn't hurt parents' ears
Whether or not you were a They Might Be Giants before you had a kid, you can't go wrong with this CD of catchy, clever, fun songs. If your child's going to pick a CD to listen to three times a day for a month, it doesn't get any better than this. Be sure to also check out "Here Come the ABCs" also by TMBG with included DVD. A classic!
