Customer Reviews Nothing new to add, just wanted to give 5 stars... It's all been said in the previous 91 reviews. Great album, one of their best. I was on Amazon looking for a book, how did I end up here? "Wicked Little Critta," "I've Got a Fang" & "She Thinks She's Edith Head" certainly rank as the best songs. I like the way Linnell is so close to the microphone on "Fang. ". No surprises....but Heck, who needs em? And the boys do not disappoint here. When it's They Might Be Giants, you know what to expect - chorus after chorus after catchy chorus, with quirky, funny, witty lyrics. Mink Car is full of pop gems. The title track is particularly brilliant and somewhat removed from their usual style, but the rest of this is classic TMBG - "Working undercover for the man", "Hopeless bleak despair", "Bangs", "Another first kiss". . . I could go and on, but you get the general idea. I deduct one star for the annoying "Mr. Xcitement" and "Wicked little critta" - two low points in an otherwise fine record. . I got my copy autographed by John Flansburgh. It features their typical blend of catchy melodies with silly lyrics. This is one of my favorite They Might Be Giants albums. Lots of great songs on this one. My favorites would probably be "Cyclops Rock", "Man, It's So Loud in Here", "I've Got a Fang" and "Older". Fans of TMBG should enjoy this one. .
