The Else is their best whole album since, because it’s also the most melodic.
-
While this album might not be their most mind-bending, its hooks and idiosyncrasies prove that after more than two decades, TMBG still know how to have fun.
-
The Else, another collection that ranks with any in their memorable discography.
-
The Else finds the band still firmly grounded in their tongue-and-cheek eclecticism, combining humorous tracks about shadow governments invading public libraries, a “cap’m” that doesn’t actually drive a boat, and numerous off-center topics into a mish-mash of musical absurdity.
-
The second half of The Else is so good that it's a little frustrating that the entire album isn't this solid. Still, there are more than enough good moments to keep longtime fans happy.
-
The Else is good, surprisingly and simply so. It’s also frustratingly focused.
-
Most of these songs are only pleasant for thirty seconds or so.

MattD.Jul 10, 2007A perfect 10! The power pop songs and the more psychedelic 60s-influenced songs are both brilliant.
