Then: The Early Years
Then: The Early Years
is a double disc composed of the albums They Might Be Giants, Lincoln,
Miscellaneous T, and of never before released material. It was
realeased by Restless Records in 1997. There are 19 unreleased songs, which make the
CD and happen to be TMBG at their finest. The song Weep Day is a very
tropical song full bongos and congas. Greek #3 is the song Number Three
sung in Greek by Linnell. Then there is Hope That I Get Old Before I Die (Demo
Version) which sounds like its from a drunken German bar. Fake Out In
Buenos Aires has a cool latin flavor. The there is a demo version of Which
Describes How Your Feeling that has fake backwards talking, and I happen to like it
better. One of the most insane TMBG songs is the extremely fast beating Become A
Robot. Beats and odd folk reign once again on this double disc. It is
possibly the best collection of TMBG material yet. My personal favorite is Become
A Robot.
My Rating For this Album is: A+
