Aug 15, 2011Perfect 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").

ColinBJul 9, 2007consistency through and through, each song has something to offer. The album is just plain fun...singable, danceable, and downright enjoyable.

ColinM.Jul 14, 2007They're streaming it off their label's website! I love when bands do that. The album rocks. Favorites so far: Don't make me a target, The Underdog, You Got You Cherry Bomb.

JoeJul 10, 2007fantastic album. listen to Eddie's Ragga on windows media player at a speed of .8 of the original tempo and the song reveals itself as one of the best head bobbers i have ever heard.

DouglasDAug 1, 2007Finally Spoon got me. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is a collection of gems with experimental saucer.

CablesAug 1, 2007I've always had trouble with spoon albums. I found them to be wildly uneven and front heavy. This, on the other hand, is adventurous without sacrificing its hooks. Album of the year thus far.

ChrisG.Jul 11, 2007Brilliant. One of Spoon's best. Britt Daniel's voice thrills and the excitement and economy of their music are too good for words.

MikeyBJul 11, 2007Just what I'd expect of Spoon. Not one dud song among the whole lot. Even "lingers" stuck around 'til I finally got it (headphones and time nailed it). How to follow "Gimme Fiction"? Think up a goofy title, but make the album insane regardless.

ChrisKJul 10, 2007A close second to 'Girls Can Tell' as Spoon's best.

DrewCJul 20, 2007Let's face it, all spoon is fantastic. this album is my close to being my fave. very accessible and very good :) pick it up

martymJul 20, 2007This album is great. Spoon is easily one of the best, most consistent bands of the last 20 years. PC - i think Marc meant that New York magazine having refered to the album as Flawless, which it is, and then metacritic classifying their review as an 80 doesn't make sense, which it doesn't. By the way you're a prick

SeanP.Jul 20, 2007Wow. I was sure nothing would be able to match such 2007 wonders as the new Arcade Fire, the new LCD Soundsystem, and the Battles debut. But I forgot to take Spoon into account. What a band.

DCJul 20, 2007to PC who commented on Marc H's question. he's not dumb, you are being an idiot. he was asking why the new york magazine's individual score was only 80, when 'flawless' would suggest it should be higher. he wasn't commenting on the average of all the collated scores you muppet. i really like this album, though maybe not as much as i like some of their others.

LuisCJul 5, 2007This is massive improvement over Gimme Fiction. There is no such thing as a bad song on this album.
-
-
ChristianP.Jul 9, 2007Wow! I don't know if they will ever top Kill The Moonlight, but this album is another consistent collection of catchy, soulful, and memorable songs. It seems a little more scattered than Gimmie Fiction, but gets better with every listen. One of the country's most exciting and reliable bands.

PaulLAug 12, 2007When I first listened to this, I was like eh. On the third listen, the melodies and hooks started creeping up on me. It's definitely a grower. It has been in my rotation for a couple of weeks now and I'm still hooked.

JakeKAug 2, 2007This album is definitely one of the best albums so far this year. It really grows on you. Just listen to "Rhthm and Soul". Now, this is what i call music.

-
SethWAug 3, 2007Wow...a great album just like their last four. All mashed up wiht highlights and put together, it makes one hell of a mix CD. Along with My Morning Jacket, Ryan Adams and Wilco, this band consistantly makes me have faith in the ability for rock and roll to continue to surprise and inspire more than any other band out there.

VinnyGJan 20, 2010This album is gold, don't listen to any haters. They are just Spoon fans who don't like the fact that they are finding commercial success.

DanB.Oct 18, 2007First 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's not awesome and I'm not sure any tracks are standout. I think it's not as good as Gimme Fiction.

Each and every hand clap and piano chord on their foot-stomping, flawless new album, now streaming on their label's Website, is obsessively placed.
-
It's not the best album of Spoon's career, but it's far from a misstep.
-
"Ga Ga" stand out as a fun, if somewhat peculiar, addition to the Spoon catalog.
