  1. 8.0 |   Spill Magazine

    They are still digging, still building, and still keeping us entertained by decorating the same brilliant, idiosyncratic birdhouse that we have continued to live with, and not forgotten, all this time

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    Not many musical acts reach their 40th anniversaries and fewer still make music worthy of their legacies, but with The World Is to Dig, They Might Be Giants remain wonderfully different

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    They're also practitioners of the ancient art form of popcraft, constructing tight, clever confections then working with longtime co-producer Pat Dillett to ensure the hooks are delivered cleanly and efficiently. They remain funny, too. Print edition only

  4. 7.9 |   Spectrum Culture

    There are few fillers on The World is to Dig’s 18 tracks, but also only a handful of real killers. It’s business as usual, with plenty of charm but not one of their absolute best

  5. 7.5 |   Beats Per Minute

    The first TMBG first album still ranks among the best of their 20+ studio albums to date, but this latest one is up there somewhere too

  6. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Offers plenty of wonderfully weird gems across its 18 tracks
