- Apollo_18_(album) abstract "Apollo 18 is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock duo They Might Be Giants. It was released in 1992 through Elektra Records and was named after aborted Apollo 18 mission which was scheduled to have followed Apollo 17. The album was also associated with International Space Year, for which They Might Be Giants were declared the official "musical ambassadors" by NASA.The album marked the first conscious effort by John Linnell and John Flansburgh to branch out of their early sound, opting for more traditional rock rhythms and fuller arrangements. The duo adopted a backing band with live drums during the supporting tour. It was their last album recorded as a duo, and the band expanded to include a regular rhythm guitarist, bass player, and saxophone player for their subsequent releases. Apollo 18 also includes the "Fingertips" suite, a series of twenty-one songs, each under thirty seconds long. The album generated three singles, "The Statue Got Me High", "The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)" and "I Palindrome I", although only the first managed to chart.The album received mostly positive reviews from music critics, with many commending the band for making music with a darker tone. However, the album was criticized for lacking a stand-out lead single. Commercially, the album was not as successful as Flood (1990), peaking at #99 on the Billboard 200 and spending only six weeks on that chart. In addition, some fans were upset that and Flansburgh and Linnell opted to use a backing band for the album's tour, with some even boycotting shows.".

- Apollo_18_(album) quote ""Apollo 17 was the last lunar mission, so Apollo 18 the record is sort of a poor substitute for an actual moon launch. Cheaper for everybody. It seemed to tie together partly the idea of space but also being spaced out. Which seems silly to have as a theme for a record, but it's such a common state for me and John [Flansburgh]."".
- Apollo_18_(album) quote ""Having the freedom to do the production on the entire record has been very positive. The writing and recording were our only focus for nine months. We purposely avoided session-man-mania, and let our own humble playing shine through"".
