Ratcheting his reticence up half a turn, he opens with his bleakest new song, and only if you follow his chronically noncommittal lyrics will you notice his emotions opening up along with his tunes, his attitudes along with his structures.
-
Spoon have created an album that will not only satisfy long-time observers but will also act as a gateway for those yet to discover their charms.
-
Transference is a challenging, mature statement from a band generally known for more for refining their approach with each release.
-
Within Spoon's astute use of sunny structure, a brooding heart of murky frustration lurks. A deceptive, addictive album, revelling in hidden depths.
-
It can be a bit of a let down if you come in expecting another blockbuster like "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga," but something of a revelation if you meet them halfway.
-
Transference offers up several solid additions to the Spoon canon and setlist, but narrowly misses living up to its pedigree.
-
Even Spoon's nice sounding (albeit always obtuse) lyrics can't make up for the generally flat music here, and with Transference, Spoon's undeniable swagger has taken a considerable hit.
