The Else by They Might Be Giants (CD, Jul-2007, Idlewild/Rounder)

Getting back on their new wave comedy-nerd track after a surprisingly successful detour to the land of kids’ music, the two Johns team up with the Dust Brothers for their newest release. The Dust Brothers lay down unstoppable grooves while the Giants rock over the top, with some of their catchiest hooks (uptempo opener “I’m Impressed”) and funniest lyrical wordplay (see “The Mesopotamians”) in years. This will remind you why you loved They Might Be Giants in the first place – they’re in top form and cooler than ever!

It is not exactely TMBG 's their best CD ever, but a few song can do.
Only for die hard TMBG fans.
I miss a bit the " nice to whistle along under the shower" feeling.

They Might Be Giants return with the best album they've done in years! The song "Climbing The Walls" even makes my top 5 list of favorite TMBG songs. To add to the coolness, my copy came with a bonus disk that contains 23 untitled tracks. The bonus disk is as good...if not better than the actual album! 36 Tracks in all!!! What are you waiting for? Your collection is naked without this. 5 Huge Stars.
