    Multiple great songs that entertain not just people that would listen to Disney Sound, but also the geeky 20 year fan of TMBG. It feels that they convert to a new sound in the right matter in the right context, especially knowing how great Nanobots was.

    Since I'm a huge TMBG fan, I can enjoy this album and dvd with my 2 - year - old daughter, who learned her ABCs and 123s with the first two in this vein. It's a joy to hear her quote things like "photosynthesis", and "paleontologist.

    Perhaps TMBG needs to do "Here Comes Math"...and explain how 83+80+80+74 equals an average of 84? (Although I suspect the album deserves about that rating...).

    My family loves this! My son who is 8 months old is completely fascinated and laughs through out the entire album. He reacts this way to no other videos he has so far seen on TV. Let him watch a few videos before bed each night and he is completely delighted. Songs are catchy and we often find ourselves singing them through out the day.

    The results are entertaining and witty, as well as educational, even if at times the tunes have to perform contortions to squeeze all the lyrics in. [Jul 2010, p.141]

    Here Comes Science is another fun, educational triumph.

    It’s also something worth hearing for lapsed fans who haven’t been keeping up with TMBG in recent years or for anyone who loves well-written power-pop with a side of nerdiness.
