The boys from Brooklyn, New York are back, and they`ve brought their friends. FACTORY SHOWROOM is the second of They Might Be Giants` six albums to feature a full band, and it`s their most satisfying effort in some time. TMBG masterminds John Flansburgh and John Linnell possess the uncanny ability to compose devilishly infectious songs about the most arcane subjects, a skill they employ to wonderful effect on this album. Topics range from the rock fan`s dilemma of "XTC vs. Adam Ant" to the political history lesson of "James K. Polk" and the graveyard humor of "Exquisite Dead Guy."
On FACTORY SHOWROOM, the two Johns let their loopy imaginations run wild without ever losing focus of their songs, resulting in a collection whose compositional strength is more than equal to its novelty. TMBG also give the lo-fi crowd a run for their money with "I Can Hear You," which was recorded onto an authentic wax cylinder at the Edison Laboratory in New Jersey. It`s only fitting for They Might Be Giants to keep ahead of the pack by stepping into the past. From start to finish, FACTORY SHOWROOM is timelessly intelligent and entertaining.
