A Great Way To Get Acquainted (or catch up),
By A Customer
This review is from: Dial-a-Song: 20 Years of (Audio CD)
In 1999 the band released _Severe Tire Damage_, a disappointing 'live' album that attempted to act as a career retrospective. It did feature many of their best-known songs, but in relatively subpar renditions. This 2-disc anthology is very welcome. It's got ALL of their singles, in the original studio incarnations, plus a good number of classic album tracks ...even a few rarities. Well-sequenced and remastered, too.

Incredibly thorough compilation,
By "angryanthem" (De Pere, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dial-a-Song: 20 Years of (Audio CD)
I never really got into TMBG until I first heard this compilation. The main problem was that I had only heard a few of their songs that didn't really appeal to me. But the Dial-a-Song 20 year box set shows the wide varaiety of the Giants' style. From the poppy "Don't Let's Start," to the hoe-downesqu "Number Three," to... well, what ever you want to classify "Boat of Car" as. The only real flaw I can hear is that some songs that really aren't so great (Spy, James K. Polk, Minimum wage) made the set, while some of the Johns' greatest songs (Kiss Me, Son of God, Destination Moon, We Want a Rock) are nowhere to be seen. Still, that's really not enough reason for you not to buy this set.

Among the best of the "Best of" records!,
By Gail Martin (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dial-a-Song: 20 Years of (Audio CD)
I bought "Dial a Song" expecting a run-of-the-mill "best of" compilation, hoping to fill in the cracks in my small collection of "Giants" recordings. Well imagine my surprise to find a beautifully assembled compilation of the best of "They Might be Giants"! I mean this in the sense that they didn't just pick out their most popular recordings, but truly the BEST of their recordings. And they didn't stop there! Because instead of simply plopping the songs onto a CD in chronilogical order (as so many do), they arranged them in a sequence that actually makes many of them sound BETTER than they did on the original recordings. The songs flow from one to another with almost eerie smoothness, pulling you into the music and making you bop around the livingroom oozing joy.Really. A great record. You need it now.
