    Even when they’re forging new ground (which is often) or mixing it up with any of the aforementioned conversation points, they still manage to sound exactly like themselves.

    Spoon has again produced a collage of songs that may be proverbial, but are not paint-by-numbers.

    Despite Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga's adventurousness, it's highest points end up being the most conventional. [August 2007, p.112]

    Perfect pop rock album. The day I bought this album I listened to this four times in a row. I was mesmerized by the simplistic, intoxicating songs from beginning ("Don't Make Me a Target") to end ("Black Like Me").… Expand

    Spoon has gone back to its roots with Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Britt Daniel seems to be having a lot of fun in this album. It's a perfect blend of indie rock and pop. "You Got Yr.

    First time I heard it I thought I was listening to the last album over again. This is a good album, listenable all the way through, but it�39;s not awesome and I'm not sure any tracks are standout. I think it's not as good as Gimme Fiction.… Expand

    Seriously, though I loved the last album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, is the most boring overrated thing ever. Not only do all of the songs sound exactly alike, but they actually sound like the band traveled back into time to find the most generic post grunge music from 1994 to use as inspiration, basically I've heard this one before. There are many more innovative bands out there that are doing much more exciting things with their music. I wish people would get over this album and move forward.… Expand
