    Spoon's most mature, accomplished work to date and a fine balance of fire and polish.

    Girls Can Tell is more mature and accomplished, but at the expense of the spark of spontaneity.

    Spoon's most ambitious album is also their best.

    Their music is as strong as ever and they certainly deserve your attention.

    Spoon's well rounded Girls Can Tell is an exhilarating recording from start to finish. "Anything You Want", "Everything Hits At Once", and "Believing Is Art" are some of the best songs they're ever written.… Expand
