Review - :
{^I Palindrome I} is the second CD maxi-single released to promote {$They Might Be Giants}' 1992 album, {^Apollo 18}. One of their shorter EPs, {^I Palindrome I} features just four tracks. The title cut represents USDA prime {$TMBG} songwriting: a hook sharp enough to catch a fish with and topsy-turvy, recursive meta-lyrics that can't possibly translate well into a foreign language. {&"Cabbagetown"} is a curiously somber acoustic {\ballad} whose emotional resonance prompts a closer look into what the tale could actually mean (still hard to say). A goofy instrumental piece follows called {&"Siftin'"} that sounds like the theme to an '80s game show that never was, and the disc concludes with {&"Larger Than Life,"} a {\ragga} retooling of the spy-movie-influenced {&"She's Actual Size."} It's all over pretty quickly, but as with most {$TMBG} EPs it packs a lot of enjoyment in such a small space. ~ Christian Huey, All Music Guide
