John Henry (album)
John Henry is the name of
They Might Be Giants' fifth album, although it is the sixth disc in their discography. It is the first album in which they utilized a full band, as opposed to playing most or all of the instruments themselves. Many of their fans were disappointed in the change; others embraced the new sound.
The track listing is as follows:
- Subliminal
- Snail Shell
- Sleeping in the Flowers
- Unrelated Thing
- AKA Driver - While the lyrics to the song refer to a 'Nyquil driver,' legal issues--whether real or perceived--required a title with no reference to the medicine, and the lyrics to the song are omitted from the CD insert.
