	Mink Car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mink Car is the eighth studio album by They Might Be Giants, released in 2001 (see 2001 in music) on Restless Records.
		One of the band's most eclectic efforts, its variety reflects its recording process: it was put together in a number of different studios, with a number of different producers, around the country as the band toured between 1999 and 2001.

		It didn't help when the band followed up the full-length Mink Car with the skimpy EP Holidayland, a collection of four previously released seasonal songs and one new recording (a cover of The Sonics' "Santa Claus").
		But the swinging instrumentation of "Mink Car" and the danceable frenzy of "Man, It's So Loud In Here" keep the record lively, and the latter offers a bevy of funny-but-pointed lyrics in its portrait of intrusive hipsterism.
		Mink Car also contains songs about the worship of minor celebrities ("She Thinks She's Edith Head"), paralysis ("My Man"), the need for permanence ("Hovering Sombrero"), and the shrugging off of daily anxiety ("Hopeless Bleak Despair").

	Among Giants
		Xcitement," just one of a handful of songs on Mink Car that is only in character with the band insofar as it is completely out of character and, not coincidentally, fails in its attempt at genre-hopping and blatantly incorporating some undeniably trendy elements pseudo-breakbeats, turntables, whatever's cool as of late.
		Similarly, the production on Mink Car isn't meant to be overly ironic or hip or anything, it's just exploring the possibilities and doing what the members of They Might Be Giants have been interested in for a long time, but have never had the chance to really mess with until now.
		Apparently, Mink Car was a vehicle (no pun intended) for brand-new versions of "Working Undercover for the Man," "She Thinks She's Edith Head" and a few others previously made available in unfinished form through TMBG Unlimited, an online MP3 subscription club exclusively for TMBG fanatics.

	the scam: They Might Be Giants - Mink Car
		Despite this prolificacy, Mink Car is the first official full-length studio album from They Might Be Giants in around five years.
		Barely a handful of the songs on Mink Car are equal to the standards set by the band themselves over the last thirteen years, and perhaps that says something in itself.
		Ultimately, Mink Car is only half an album - there are some really good songs here, but the pleasure they offer is spoiled by the presence of so much mundane filler.

	They Might Be Giants - Mink Car (Restless)
		Five long years later, Mink Car arrives as TMBG’s seventh studio album, the amount of songs makes a considerable jump almost back to where the band started, and, in a lovely correlation, so does the ratio.
		But standing on its own, Mink Car is a great example of Flansburgh, Linnell, and additional talent finding new sounds to make while remaining rooted in the initial energy that makes them so appealing.
		Now, as a melody that was not in dire need of being revisited, it inexplicably arrives on Mink Car as “Another First Kiss.” With this, the Johns add a completely unwelcome and wretched format to their repertoire: a slower, straightforward adult contemporary tune straight out of the Shawn Mullins cliché bag.

		Combining widely eclectic musical styles with their signature droll sense of humor, Mink Car makes it even harder to accurately classify this band.

	Review: They Might Be Giants
		For those of you who are not familiar with TMBG (as they are so affectionately called), it is a Brooklyn-based band with John Flansburgh and John Linnell, who bring in a variety of musicians and instruments to achieve a wide range of sounds and musical styles.
		Since Mink Car is TMBG's first full-length album in five years, it is important to know what they have been up to recently in order to better understand their new album.
		The toe-tapping and hip-shaking musical stylings of Mink Car are a welcome addition to their ever-expanding repertoire.

	They Might Be Giants - Mink Car
		It's been five years since They Might be Giant's last full length studio album which, I guess, makes their latest release "Mink Car" (now in stores) "long awaited".
		While "Mink Car" still contains a rich collection of entirely new material but these two songs will come as a small disappointment to fans who can't get enough.
		To summarize I highly recommend "Mink Car" to anyone who enjoys the musical madness that is They Might be Giants.

		And so Mink Car is not such a bad album.
		"Mink Car" is Flansburgh's best original contribution to the album aside from "Cyclops Rock." Its relaxing music brings up images of 70's tv shows and and lounge orchestras while gets you thinking simultaneosuly of Puff Daddy driving a furry car and death.
		This is the strange limbo where Mink Car resides.

		Returning to the typical formula of shorter songs and a greater number of tracks, Mink Car offers us 17 songs, most of which the fans have been familiar with—the songs have been floating around for the past several years.
		At the same time, the Mink Car version is devoid of the song's previous "time" pause, which made the song.
		Mink Car lacks any consistency and comes across as a cut-and-paste revamp, hastily thrown together to appease fans who have been begging for studio material for 5 years.

		They Might Be Giants are their own worst enemy: For 15 years, these too-clever alt-rockers have sabotaged perfectly great songs with extra helpings of cheese.
		That perception’s unlikely to change soon, as Mink Car is almost a total wreck—even decent melodies are hard to come by.

	Mink Car
		I have to admit that when I first heard that Mink Car was the chosen title for this album, I was a bit disappointed since other possibilities I’d heard (Unreliable Narrator, Secret Mountain Laboratory) seemed so much cooler.
		Yes, Mink Car is their most “danceable” album to date, from the pogo-ready beat of the opening track, “Bangs,” to the thumping techno riff (stolen from “Funkytown”) of “Man, It’s So Loud In Here,” to the scratching and popping scattered throughout “Wicked Little Critta.”
		For those with rigid expectations of what TMBG should be (as if there is such a thing), it may be a disappointment, but for those who enjoy TMBG's music for the spirit of experimentation and unpredictability they have always embraced, it is another welcome treat from the hardest-working band in music today.
