Never really gave Spoon’s previous release, Gimme Fiction, much of a chance. Though everyone loved it, I felt like it passed me by and I’m OK with that. Which brings us to Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. It’s like Wilco reincarnated. And in some ways it feels like yankee hotel foxtrot in how palatable it is; it takes three or four listens but then you are hooked. But though the record is really well rounded, consistent (is there a bad track?) and a few steps above the standard fare I can’t help feeling somewhat underwhelmed. Perhaps it’s all the hype surrounding it. As I see it this album is really good, but not quite great.
Fav. Track: The Underdog
Instead do yourself a favor and get this. (8.8/10)
