Lifting off from their previous album, Lincoln, which was a sort of transitional hit-or-miss, Flood is a soaring, catchy sing-along album destined for people who love quoting Monty Python sketches. Try not singing the words to "Particle Man," "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," or "Birdhouse in your Soul." (Apparently, "Particle Man" was so catchy that the song was later used as a sing-along in a cartoon show for children.) Combining a book-smart, funny love of history, junk culture, and film noir, this is the album to own. Put it on loud, sing along, and dance very, very badly. --Todd Levin... (more)(less)

"I spent many hours driving around town with my high school friends & singing along to Flood, so it's got a very special place in my heart. Pure quirky fun.
Favorite song: "Road Movie to Berlin"

"Another band the same friend from above introduced me to. Alternative, yes, but these guys were quirky. Their lyrics were tailor-made for the nerds, geeks, and other intellectuals, a group with which I identify. I was shocked to find out there were only 2 band members & they played and sang everything on the album. They kept my appreciation for humor and fun in music alive, and showed me that you didn't need an entire band to make multi-instrumentalist music."
