The Spine

Their most rocking album ever. With their unique blend of catchy melodies and inscrutable lyrics, They Might Be Giants have lived a twenty-year frenzy of creative output, selling over three million albums and winning a Grammy in the process. "The Spine" is their new release, and as PopMatters' Patrick Schabe says, "The Spine sets itself apart from recent work by They Might Be Giants in ways that you'll just have to hear for yourself to understand. At the same time, it goes a long way in showing how the band continues to be relevant, even vital, in a scene that chews up and spits out bands with ferocious speed. Twenty odd years on, the Two Johns are as vibrant as ever, and after having carved their own niche in music history, The Spine is bold for playing in the sandbox with TMBG's contemporaries rather than staying safely in the room they've created for themselves."
