Mink Car will please just about all but the most picky of They Might Be Giants fans. Diverse, off-beat, strange, fun, and decidedly wonderful, it proves that TMBG haven't really lost anything over the years...
-
It's all funny, but also wise in a way.

Jan 22, 2019This isn't one of their best albums, in my opinion, but it still gets a 7 from me, because they are awesome. Best song = Man It's so loud in here.
