Released in 1990, Flood was They Might Be Giants' third studio album and their first album released under major record label, Elektra Records. This was a landmark album, providing the band's biggest Hit (Birdhouse in Your Soul), and many consider it their best work. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the band have provided a free download. A live performance of the album in its entirety. These performances are culled from a 2014 tour of Australia and according to Flansburgh, "I would be lying if I said this was something we carefully planned,". he went on to say that they "wanted to do something different for the second show. So we played Flood in its entirety in a few different cities across Australia". The band did something similar, last year, with the first album and this proved successful. It's a well known fact that They Might Be Giants are one of the most internet friendly bands, and between these two albums and making their music available to stream on Youtube, they've really been embracing the digital age.
