  1. Something much bigger than last year's Girls Can Tell, the breakthrough album skeptics like me took for a fluke peak.
  2. Could be the Strokes in 10 years--if they work hard. [Listen 2 This Supplement, Aug 2002, p.14]
  3. With Kill the moonlight, Spoon complete their transformation from ragtag rockers into beat-driven post-punks.

  1. A near flaw-less album. Kill The Moonlight has amazing tracks. Each track has it's own significant sound that gets better with each listen. Britt Daniel has a great voice and it sounds a lot more different than any other Spoon album. The tracks are catchy and some of the synth beats are wonderful. All In All, Kill The Moonlight is an impeccable album. A Expand

    Thin premises for songs stretched too far to be more than diverting.
