spare - yes, but less so than the last two
perfectly arranged guitar/keyboard parts - too much guitar for my taste, but the keyboards sound good
and amazing sounding drums? - they've still got that covered, but the guitars are more prominent in the mix of some songs
Maria - I like the record, just not a whole lot. It's still kinda early, it might click with me later. I've heard it about three times now, so that's pretty reasonable to expect.

Just listened to "The Two Sides Of Monsieur Valentine," and do hear the late-Squeezeness in that song.

The Truth & Fiction tour should be set up like those Billy Joel/Elton John tours - they should play together, do each other's songs - it'd be great!

in the end, it looks like a spoon record should look like: minimal and slightly ambiguous.

completely. Strong 70's sound to the writing and the production on this. I love how they can sound so muscular and spare at the same time.

No, The Woods is the album of the year so far. -- The Brainwasher (bornliveddie...), May 14th, 2005 2:30 PM. (Twilight) (link)
No, that would be Final Fantasy. -- Sean M (sea...), May 14th, 2005 2:38 PM. (Sean M) (link)

for years somehow i was missing the mp3 for 'delicate place'. now that i have it the whole album is fucked up! what a way to ruin the momentum from 'mathematical mind' > 'sister jack'. :/
― j., Sunday, 12 February 2012 00:50 (twelve years ago) link
i might delete that track and go for a run tomorrow and see if you're onto something

We listened to Gimme Fiction so much when it came out when I was working at Tower Records. Me and a couple coworkers had a choreographed dance routine for the first part of 'Sister Jack.' Haha.

Pretty classic mid-2000s album.
― underqualified backing vocalist (morrisp), Monday, 3 December 2018 00:43 (five years ago) link
Haven't listened to this in years, but man, was this band in a groove. Girls, Moonlight, this, G5 ...
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 8 October 2020 02:16 (three years ago) link
Took me a bit to get into this one because it was so different from the crisp clean sounds of Girls and Moonlight but I came around eventually.
At this point my fav might be "Merchants of Soul", Eno is just beating his brains out on that one

Still not huge on "The Infinite Pet" or "The Delicate Place" but the rest is wall to wall bangers
― it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Thursday, 8 October 2020 13:30 (three years ago) link
yeah aside from the first few spins I think I've skipped "The Infinite Pet" every time I've listened to this album since then. On my playlist I replace it with b-side "Monkey Feelings" which works way better imo
― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Thursday, 8 October 2020 13:49 (three years ago) link
Their best album.
― Patriotic Goiter (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 8 October 2020 13:50 (three years ago) link
nah but definitely their best album from their popular festival-band era
― na (NA), Thursday, 8 October 2020 14:07 (three years ago) link
After its predecessors it feels like an awesome victory lap. Like, "now that you guys have caught up, check this out." And then G5 is like "now that we still have your attention ..."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 8 October 2020 14:13 (three years ago) link
I like that "Beast and Dragon" and "Don't Make Me a Target" are essentially the same song yet don't make each other redundant, somehow

listening now, "sister jack" and "i summon you" are all-time great spoon songs
― na (NA), Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:36 (three years ago) link
I think "My Mathematical Mind" is the coolest.
