well that's the whole thing, but i'm sure some of it is still a bit off. -Apollo (colloquia!) 11:41, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

With their second album, Lincoln, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS relegated even the U2 blockbuster, Rattle And Hum, in the ranks on the college charts. "We were really surprised. Honestly, we had initially thought that if 5,000 records sold, our equivalent would be a Gold album."

For their new album, Flood, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS have nineteen new songs on a humorous settlement with an ex-lover ("Lucky Ball And Chain" with the unbeatable line, "I was young and foolish then / I feel old and foolish now"), freed goldfish ("Twisting"), the dangers of land theft and spoiled food ("Dead"), and rival superheroes ("Particle Man"); Mark Feldman's violin conjures up oriental flair in the mini-Geography lesson "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"; with oblique guitar, Arto Lindsey carries in the first song in pop history that deals with hearing ("Hearing Aid"), and a song such as the first single, "Birdhouse In Your Soul", has, despite an unerring chorus that can be sung along to on the first listen, enough finesse and built-in hooks to make even the hundredth listen sheer joy. The ability of the Giants, who accurately describe surprising topics with linguistic wit, is not limited to the areas of humor and the like. In "Your Racist Friend", for example, they give a party host the thinking that his bourbon bottle leaves and disseminated racist stupidity.

A clear commitment, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS gave Germany seven concerts in the framework of their European tour.
