"Anything You Want" ended up being my top GCT pick. Love the lyrical shoutout to the Austin Sound Exchange.

i made my case... to the woohohorld
this would have been top 5 had I weighted my ballot. love on the second half of the song when the bass kicks in followed by the jangly ass guitar tone.

but the piano doesn't grate on you after like 30 seconds?

i've accepted this is a real love/hate song even if i lean towards the latter

New York Kiss my #1.
then again, dissing a Spoon song over lyrics is a bit rich.
It wasn't a huge dis (if you mean the 'goofy' comment), but I do tend to fixate on lyrics, for better or worse, and spoon have some good ones and some pretty bad ones. Fwiw I think They Want My Soul is lyrically one of their worst, but is still my #2 album.

Alright now I listen to it for the #358 time it sounds less like that and more like just a slowed down voice. Still.

voted "Do You" as it's another catchy song on this album. TWMS has surprised me after being so disappointed with it at first.

haha, I am too, which is why I don't find Fitted Shirt particularly notable lyrically, positively or negatively. I find most of their lyrics serviceable to awful, but hooks gonna hook, ya know?

i don't even get why they released got nuffin as a single, it seems like a runt on that album

i see i voted for five songs off of They Want My Soul and all of them have made the Top 40. i think i need to redo my albums list.

I didn't do an albums ballot, but They Want My Soul would have probably been my #1 if I did.

i also really like the melting music video that they made for this song.

Man, I've warmed up to a bunch of songs from TWMS but "Inside Out" is still the gem, one of their prettiest songs

i was the ONE person who put "paper tiger" at number one? holy shit people!!!!
― soyrev,
Many xposts for this one as I'm just catching up. Paper Tiger was my number two and was almost my number one. Shocked to see it so low.
Very happy to see Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga as the number one album. It was the first one I heard, I loved it straight away.
