They Might Be Giants
I Like Fun

Listening notes

They Might Be Giants released I Like Fun in 2018 on Idlewild Recordings, catalog number IDLE 144. The album appears on vinyl in the Alternative Rock and Rock genres and contains fifteen tracks spread across two sides.

Side A opens with "Let's Get This Over With" at three minutes and seven seconds, followed by "I Left My Body," "All Time What," "By The Time You Get This," "An Insult To The Fact Checkers," "Mrs. Bluebeard," the title track "I Like Fun," and "Push Back The Hands." The eight A-side tracks run a cumulative total of just over twenty-one minutes, with individual track lengths ranging from two minutes and seventeen seconds to three minutes and seven seconds. No single track on the side extends beyond the three-minute-and-seven-second opener.

Side B carries seven tracks, beginning with "This Microphone" and continuing through "The Bright Side," "When The Light Comes On," "Lake Monsters," "McCafferty's Bib," "The Greatest," and closing with "Last Wave" at three minutes and twenty-four seconds. "The Greatest," at one minute and forty-eight seconds, is the shortest track on the record. "Last Wave" is the longest track across both sides.

Across the full album, the fifteen tracks present a consistent economy of length. Thirteen of the fifteen run under three minutes and twenty-five seconds, and none exceeds three minutes and twenty-four seconds. The title I Like Fun is shared by both the album and the seventh track on Side A, positioned just past the midpoint of the first side.
