GerwinKJul 8, 2005I dont belive this is acually from TMBG. How they once made quirky, entertaining songs, Mink Car only showcases a crappy attempt to sanity. If thats how you could even call it.

BenR.May 30, 2002My favorite TMBG song is still Istanbul, but this CD probably has the higest proportion of good songs to crappy songs of any CD ever.

Mar 16, 2013It's good, but there are many flaws in the album. The start of the album has some incredible songs, 'Bangs' and 'Another First Kiss' being my favourites, but there's just this sense of the whole album being underwhelming. Only really for hardcore fans I'd suggest.

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.

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...

They Might Be Giants are just a stitch more serious about being silly, and that extra earnestness makes all the difference.

BlenderAlmost a total wreck -- even decent melodies are hard to come by. [Aug/Sep 2001, p.130]
