Lincoln (album)
''Lincoln'' is the second album by the band They Might Be Giants. It was released by Bar/None in 1988. The album is named after John Linnell and John Flansburgh's boyhood home of Lincoln, Massachusetts. The album produced three singles — "Ana Ng", "They'll Need a Crane", and "Purple Toupee". It is included on ''Then: The Earlier Years'', a compilation of the band's early material, in its entirety.
== Style ==
''Lincoln'' maintains the range of musical styles present on the previous album, ''They Might Be Giants'', and lyrically attempts to merge word play into narrative songs. Lyrical themes are broadened with the inclusion of songs detailing troubled romantic relationships ("Ana Ng", "They'll Need a Crane", "I've Got a Match"),〔Mason, Stewart.

For example, songs such as "Cowtown" and "Mr. Me" incorporate elements of sea shanties, while "Lie Still, Little Bottle" suggests a jazz influence.〔Tyre, Peg. "Giant Steps: A Peculiar Rock Duo Makes a Big Noise". ''New York''. 6 February 1989.〕
Like previous releases, ''Lincoln'' does not utilize a full band arrangement. Instead, bass and drum tracks are entirely synthetic or sampled, with the exception of "Lie Still, Little Bottle"'s live drums. The drum tracks on the album were produced with an Alesis HR-16 drum machine.〔Stated by John Linnell in a 1999 online chat (archived (here ))〕 The album featured The Ordinaires, a nonet which was also signed to the Bar/None label, providing the string arrangement for "Kiss Me, Son of God".〔
