Jul 31, 2016The cohesiveness of the album, its open and intimate aesthetic, and the consistent quality all throughout this album make it a true indie rock classic. While some may say that Spoon's best is "Kill the Moonlight" or "Girls Can Tell", it's really this album that is their finest.

Dec 28, 2015A great pop rock album, full of ideas, catchy melodies and great arrangements. The production is great, with a nice vintage vibe that is never too invasive.

Aug 16, 2015Widely regarded as Spoon's 2nd career peak post-"Kill the Moonlight," Ga5 represented a step forward into more immediately accessible pop-rock for the masses from one of rock's most prolific groups. 9.5/10

Jan 25, 2012Spoon 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. Cherry Bomb" is a great example of that. "Don't You Evah" is a funky song with one of the best bass lines I've ever heard. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is a great album that fits well in Spoon's discography. B+

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").

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.

TaniaCSep 24, 2008I found it really interesting with great overcome lyrics, mixed up with catchy sexy tunes, like in "Finer Feelings", also I have to say " Don´t you evah" stay in my head for days is so joyful in a bizarre way and Britt Daniels voice sounds nice and smooth.

RustyFishFeb 28, 2008This is my fist Spoon album and I'm very impressed. 'The ghost of you lingers' is really memorable for me. I rated this album on the quality of the music it contains without worrying about it's duration. If a short album is a poor album, why buy it and then whine about it?

WillFeb 14, 2008Good fun and better than the other Spoon disk I own 'Girls can tell'. Standout track for me is 'Finer Feelings.'

freOct 19, 2007An excellent album, an original band and the most clever rock&roll of the recent years.

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.

ChadSSep 11, 2007I'd give this album a 10 if it only it were longer. I can't get enough of it. I've got 4 of their full-length albums now, and love them all....Britt Daniel has a great fucking voice, and homeboy knows how to make a head nod and a foot tap.

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.

SeanHAug 7, 2007LiquidHeaven, what Marc H was saying is that NY Mag called it flawless but metacritic turned their score into an 80. What you don't understand is 4/5 does not seem like a score you give a flawless album. That seems like a score you give an amazing album with very few flaws. See how that works LiquidHeaven? You have to base the score given on the particular language used in the review.

JoeRAug 3, 2007I cannot get enough of that "Cherry Bomb" song, I love it!

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.

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.

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

ChrisZAug 1, 2007Well I've been listening to all the good music this year and although it doesn't beat Neon Bible (which is a masterpiece) this stands on its own.

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.

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.
