Editorial Reviews: No stranger to the realm of children's records, They Might Be Giants have seen success with their CD No! and the book-and-CD combo Bed, Bed, Bed. Their latest CD, Here Come the ABCs, offers up 25 alphabetically themed songs. However, as is their charming way, the two Johns (Flansburgh and Linnell), use the letters as merely the connective tissue, allowing them to pursuit intriguing flights of fancy that consider everything from the relative power of letters and sounds to animal hijinks. Just as they've always done, there are wistful ballads and high octane rockers. TMBG have always been a family-friendly band, and this disc works just fine for adult fans, who can rightfully consider this simply their newest release. --David Greenberger
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: We love this! Comment: This is a wonderful CD/DVD! A must for a family with small children. It is so neat to hear our toddler singing about "go, go , go for G" and other silly ABC tunes. Worth every penny. Customer Rating: Summary: A must for any toddler's music collection Comment: As many people have mentioned, TMBG do a fantastic job with a great variety of songs on this album. What is an even bigger treat is the DVD that comes along with it. My son is 20 months old and this is the first, and for the most part only, DVD he will watch. The videos for each song are great as are the interludes between songs. My son loves when the robot says his ABC's "really fast!" and he dances around during the song "Clap Your Hands" every time he hears it. If you enjoy TMBG you will enjoy this CD and DVD even after hearing it and/or watching it every day for a few weeks... The lyrics are kid friendly and educational in that Schoolhouse rock sort of way while the music is everything you would expect from TMBG. Be sure to add this to your chid's music collection (or even your own!) Customer Rating: Summary: It's like the 80's for kids Comment: This is one cd/dvd that I can watch 100 times a day and not get sick of. It's like reliving my youth while my kids live theirs. Customer Rating: Summary: A CD you can listen to every day without going crazy Comment: After purchasing and loving TMBG's 123, I decided to pick up the ABC for my 2 1/2 yr old son. Overall I think the 123 CD is better, but this one is also full of catchy tunes that teach the basics (vowels are important letters, there's a vowel in every word) without hitting you over the head. The variety of musical styles also keeps it from becoming boring when your child demands it every day in the car. My son's favorite song is "QU" while I'm partial to the conifer song. The DVD is well done as well. Customer Rating: Summary: Great CD, lots of fun, adult friendly kids music. Comment: It goes without saying that a little Barney can become nails across a chaulk board. I gave this CD 5 stars because our 20 month old son loves it and my spouse and I can listen to it with him and have fun with it. The tunes are catchy. Something you can goof around with and sing along with. The alphabet is a big deal right now with our son (he loves ABC books too) and this makes learning lots of fun. We loved this one so much we eventually bought Here Come the 123s. The DVD that comes with it is interesting to say the least. A couple of the songs on the CD were obivously made for the video portion as the song makes sense once you see the video. Good use of puppets and animation. More Reviews
