So Spoon's new record just leaked today. Listening to it right now, lovin' it, though the track order could use a little improvement (basically so that a different song opens the record woulda been nice). Anybody else get the chance to snag it?

Spoon have yet to let me down, so I'll be picking this up soon.

Johnny C · « **Reply #2 on:** 16 May 2007, 19:47 »

It's a lot more understated than I expected. Think the last three or four songs of Gimme Fiction.

Just grabbed it today.

Fantastic.

I'm just going to come out and say it: that is a fucking horrible name for an album.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #5 on:** 17 May 2007, 07:09 »

Yeah, it's almost like they were worried about becoming too popular or becoming pigeon holed, so they decided to use a batshit crazy album title that sounds like some overcooked R&B treatise.

Inlander · « **Reply #6 on:** 17 May 2007, 07:23 »

I just assumed one or more of the band-members had become parents since the last album.

Gah, my torrent for this leak won't start up. AGH! Must...have...patience...

Ballard · « **Reply #8 on:** 17 May 2007, 10:05 »

I actually like the album name. It's just crazy enough.

Neadric · « **Reply #9 on:** 17 May 2007, 13:03 »

greenMonkey · « **Reply #10 on:** 17 May 2007, 13:08 »

Look immediately above your post, slightly to the right of the 'Re:' bit.

At first I thought this was going to be a thread about Frog Eyes, since their singer is always going, "Wee Wee Wee Ga Ga Ga!" all the time. It really annoys me and is probably the reson why I don't like Frog Eyes.

Johnny C · « **Reply #13 on:** 17 May 2007, 16:34 »

Having seen them live is the reason I don't like Frog Eyes.

Gryff · « **Reply #14 on:** 17 May 2007, 16:44 »

Elaborate plz.

CmonMiracle · « **Reply #15 on:** 18 May 2007, 16:35 »

I think I might actually like this better than Gimme Fiction.

Ben yayayayayayayay · « **Reply #16 on:** 18 May 2007, 20:27 »

I like this a whole lot better than Gimme Fiction, probably because I didn't very much like Gimme Fiction

Elaborate plz.

Because every song sounds exactly identical and is played in an exactly identical fashion? Here is the formula:

Carey Mercer plays his guitar by strumming as fast as he can while singing and moving his head from side to side like there's something wrong with him
Rest of the band just kinda grooves
Nobody really gives a shit about the audience til the set's over, when they suddenly stand up and take a bow as a band

As a result any of the sublime moments they have on record are utterly ruined by both a wall of absurd noise under which it's impossible to catch a repeating musical phrase or really anything as well as what seems to be complete disinterest in the audience. I'd even excuse the former if I felt it was on purpose.

I'm sure other people have different feelings but that was my perception of their performance when they toured through here. Of course I was partially drunk at the time so my entire post might be forfeit.

I don't know if this is my comprehensive collection of Britt Daniel erotica and fan fiction speaking, but I think the album is great. As good as Gimme Fiction and different. Rythm & Soul and Eddie's Ragga are comparable to Chicago At Night and the Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine in terms of awesome song structure, lyrics, and guitar lines. I seriously could not care less about the album title, any more than I could about Spank Rock - Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo (to which I think someone alluded earlier in this thread) or for that matter !!! - !!! (I was kind of hoping that their second album would be titled either !!!!!! or ?!). The only real problem I foresee is that it makes you sound retarded when you are describing the album to non-Spoon fans (but then why would you want to talk to a non-Spoon fan . . . .ewwww).

Britt Daniel kinda looks like Gary Busey. Discuss.

Slanderous lies!!!

I would say that statement does not fall at all into the 'slanderous lies' category. More into the utter truth category. I've seen 'em live, up close. and trust me: he looks like Busey.

Alright, alright. I won't hold it against Daniels unless he ends up on some shitty reality show about washed up celebrities losing weight in 15 years.
