Ha - I take break from InThe00s for a year, and find I missed this topic :P
I like their cover of CUB's New York City, even if they did mis-hear some of the words :D
Heck, I like almost all their stuff!

I can only think of two songs that I'd give 3 stars, and the rest are higher!

TMBG rarely have an album that I would define as solid all the way through.. a lot of their stuff winds up sounding the same, or very similar, to other songs they've done.
"Mink Car" is my favorite of their albums, with "Factory Showroom" trailing a bit behind.. the only albums I have major issue with are "No!" and "Lincoln".. "No!" because it's irritating (in it's defense, it was designed for children), "Lincoln" because it ruins a lot of good songs with one really annoying part, be it the vocals, the instruments, etc.

I don't think they sound very similar, most of the time... Only on occasion do they make a song that sounds like another. This mostly happens in their first two albums...

Flood blurs a lot, but that's due to the arrangements.. it's a lot of guitar-accordion-vocal set-ups.. Some times tracks like "Experimental Film" and "Hopeless Bleak Despair" get a few similarities that really stick out, even though as a whole the songs are fairly different.
It's not always a bad thing, but for the most part, it seems like the more irritating TMBG songs sound similar to me. It might be the vocal delivery, though.. I notice most of the songs I dislike are where (I think it's Linnell) gets ridiculously nasally.

Yeah, Linnell's the nasally one. A lot of girls find that sexy, though. :P

Because a lot of men find giant blobs of fat on women's chests sexy.

I wouldn't exactly define it as giant blobs of fat.. that makes it sound like pudding.

LOL...very funny, but I believe that you are mistaking women's breasts for manboobs, which actually DO contain subcutaneous blobs of fat.
Back to TMBG...I thought that their best effort was John Henry
...as a matter of fact, I believe it was rumoured that, instead of Bangs, TMBG was going to record a song about Manboobs.
"Man...across your chest your fat hangs"

Buaha, well... Women's breasts do have fat, usually. Coincidentally, my girlfriend and I were reading up on them yesterday, and we learned what they are made of. Sweat glands and muscle!
