Spoon is a band with a shitload of albums, like 10 or something like that. I admit, I was a little late to the bandwagon. I got their album 'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga', that came out in 2007. You might know the catchy song 'The Underdog' from the movie 'I Love You Man'. This band is one of the most popular in indie-rock. Spoon uses a clean mix, tight guitar licks, a little out there but listenable vocals, and bashing drums as their formula for most of their albums.
Each song has a bit of experimentation to it. 'Is Love Forever?' has some crazy multi tracking vocals and 'Who Makes Your Money?' is almost too chill (actually its perfect). I also really like the usage of the piano in this album. It sounds so good on 'Written in Reverse'. They jam out on 'I Saw The Light' too. 'Trouble Come Running' sounds like the type of song that could get some love around the internet. This may not have the swagger of past Spoon records, it might not be their best album to date, but it's another enjoyable Spoon album. 7.5/10
