They Might Be Giants

Add Date: October 13

Artist: They Might Be Giants

Album: Here Comes Science

Label: Idlewild

Genre: Children's pop/rock

Comments: This is the most fun CD I've listened to (and dvd i've watched) in a long time. while "here comes science" is nominally a children's album, the songs are fun upbeat pop rock music that anyone can and will enjoy--they simply happen to be about science. "Meet the Elements" introduces you to the most common elements, and is also a great song with a sing along chorus. "Electric Car" is the highlight of the album, with a big band shimmy chorus and sweet verses featuring a lovely glockenspiel arpeggio. "Roy G. Biv" may be about the rainbow man, but it is super danceable... Any of these songs would not be out of place on a college radio or in a hip preschool. And let's be honest, who doesn't need a refresher about speed and velocity, paleontology, photosynthesis, or computer assisted design?
