Title: Why!?
Review: Wow. When you look at the songs on this CD you see a list of TMBG gold. I'm astonished at how the bands who covered them could turn them into complete garbage. Nearly all of the bands have a terribly generic sound, the opposite of what TMBG is about. Recepter, Jason Trachtenburg, The Wrens and OK Go pretty much made me hate them for their covers. They're by far the worst tracks on a terrible album. They drastically changed their songs with horrendous results. I'm not saying that all of the songs are bad, though. Steve Burns, Self and Frank Black have some very good takes on classic TMBG on here. They're the only songs that stand out as decent, and sadly could not save this project.The bottom line is, if you like They Might Be Giants, chances are you'll hate this. I advise you go to Itunes and buy the individual song for each one you think sounds good.
