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.

i like it less and less. it's going to be one of those i put in the case backwards. unless the other side is worse, of course.
but let me reiterate, great album.

romeo's apprentice is funny because:
spoon's booking agent is jim romeo at ground control. jim romeo has a nephew i went to high school with. [apparently jim is from my hometown as well.] his nephew is his assistant, er, apprentice at GCT. hence, this is as close as metuchen nj will ever get to be referenced in a song/title/etc.

The album is very strong, but not amazing. I felt the same way about KtM. Girls Can Tell is my favorite of theirs.

"They Never Got You" ought to be the final song, not "Merchants of Soul."

1) The Beast & Dragon, Adored2) The Two Sides Of Monsieur Valentine3) I Turn My Camera On4) My Mathematical Mind5) The Delicate Place6) Sister Jack7) I Summon You8) The Infinite Pet9) Was It You?10) They Never Got You11) Merchants Of Soul
The record has grown on me a lot. I'm really into "They Never Got You," which has snuck up on me from out of nowhere. I still think "Sister Jack" is boring, but I'm fond of everything else. I like it more than Kill The Moonlight, but not as much as Girls Can Tell.
Wow, you are so incredibly OTM about them sounding like Billy Joel meets Wire. That's perfect!

I was in this drop D metal band we called Requiem

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
