Title: Spoon Recommendations
Post by: Durin on 02 Feb 2010, 19:53

Well, I just got my hands on Spoon's new album after hearing so much about them, and now I'm not exactly sure where to go from here in exploring them further. Any help here would be much appreciated.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and Kill the Moonlight are two of my favorite Spoon albums (excepting Transference).

Kill the Moonlight onwards is all just fucking fantastic. Girls Can Tell is pretty great too, and before that is okay.

You'll notice that every album except A Series of Sneaks and Telephono (their first two) has been recommended.  Oddly, those two albums resemble Transference with respect to production (which Britt did himself this time around) more than the more recent albums.  Fact is, Spoon has never made a bad LP.  Their earlier stuff was more garage-y and their most recent stuff has been more smoothly engineered and slightly more instrumentally involved, but you can't really go wrong.  Even their revenge songs (The Agony of Laffitte) rock.
