Their first major-label album, Flood, released in 1990, garnered mixed reviews. Small praised its "torrent of catchy tunes and surprising lyrics in a range of styles, including reggae, country, swing, folk rock and even Monty Python-style parodies of show tunes and TV jingles." New York's Elizabeth Wurtzel was similarly disappointed: "The Giants have failed to make an album that will matter to more than the select few who are in on the joke. Linnell and Flansburgh seem to be afraid that if they make another album with emotional depth [like Lincoln], instead of being clever spinmeisters with attitude, they might become the cranky, bloated rock stars that their music implicitly mocks."
