bought the cd today and finally giving this a dedicated listen after listening to nothing but big thief this week god this rules
1. Kill the Moonlight 2. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga 3. Transference 4. Gimme Fiction 5. Girls Can Tell 6. A Series of Sneaks 7. Hot Thoughts 8. They Want My Soul 9. Lucifer on the Sofa 10. Telefono
Lucifer on the Sofa is good. It is not better than any other Spoon record. Let’s be real here. It’s a good, solid Spoon record.
no way this is top 5 - which shows how good this band is... Transference is one, Girls two, then gets tricky... Fiction, Moonlight and My Soul order TBD I would say
GF KTM GCT GAGAGA TWMS Trans HT SS Telephono I don't know where this would fall but I would not put it above TWMS. I think theres a drop from those 5 to the others, albeit not a massive drop.
All I’ll say is that I think “The Devil & Mister Jones” is maybe the worst Spoon song ever. Thankfully “Wild” and “My Babe” come back to back right after. I think “Feels Alright” is a total throwaway as well.
I'm with Craig on this being my favorite from them since Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Gimme Fiction & Ga x5 are my favorites, with Kill The Moonlight right behind. Girls Can Tell & Transference would be next tier for me. I honestly didn't like They Want My Soul or Hot Thoughts very much at all, and I don't think I've ever listened to the first two albums. I love this entire album, but I find myself grinning like an idiot during the one-two punch of "Wild" & "My Babe".
