Spoon - Lucifer on the Sofa (February 11th, 2022) • Page 5

hot thoughts is near perfect

 

They Want My Soul is my favorite but Series of Sneaks might be second. Has the energy of a Pixies album.

 

Lol. One of my all time favorite bands. You do poorly with other peoples opinions.

 

This is a lot of fun — makes me happy that they’re still making good music that doesn’t just feel like a rehash of what they’ve already done on album 10

 

Furthermore, I love all the artwork associated with this release:



Also the animated cover on Apple Music, as basic as it, is throwing me for a loop.

 

Yea the single art for Wild is my fav

 

Also snagged tickets for Milwaukee. Can’t wait to see them rip through some of these guitar parts live.

 

I just listened to ga ga ga ga ga today for the first time. I have heard they want my soul. Neither really stick with me. What’s the best album that will stick with me?

 

This may not be a popular choice, but see what Girls Can Tell does for you.

 

that's right.

 

the guitar lead on "The Devil & Mister Jones" is irresistible

 

No lie detected

 

Goddamn The Devil and Mister Jones is so groovy. What a song.

 

This man won’t stop!

 

oh wow, nice one Jack

 

that first 10 secs clearly throws back to loads of songs, but the guitar pre 1st verse is “it’s my life” to a T (moreso no doubt’s cover than the original track) From there I can’t shake the counting crows interjections (for obvious reasons).

agree it’s a good track

 

If you're a Spoon fan, there are no "bad" records. Just ones you haven't gotten into yet. I mentioned it earlier but I didn't like Transference all that much until a year or two ago (covid has destroyed my concept of time) and now it's upper tier. On the same spectrum, I have never really jived with Girls Can Tell for whatever reason. Next year at this time I may think it's their best...

I do think this has the potential to be their best since Transference though. It may be their best front to back. I think Hot Thoughts could drop the last 3 songs and TWMS has a bit of quality drop right in the middle ('Knock'/'Outlier'). Still excellent records but a bit I'd omit. This new one may be perfect.

 

On the Radio is such a Girls Can Tell track and I love that about it

 

This album has already made a solid entrance into my top 3 favorites from them. Time will tell where it goes from there.

 

Sooooo true yes

in the same way “sister jack” off gimme fiction is girls can tell ish

 

never listened to this band before but this album rules so far. the horns on "Mister Jones" have me grinning

 

"Wild" is such a goddamn jam, I love it

 

welcome aboard

one of the most rewarding discographies of anyone imo

 

listened to Hot Thoughts and They Want My Soul today. the former's pretty good, the latter's absolutely fucking incredible

guess I'll just keep going through this discog backwards and get to the start lol

 

Yeah I didn't know I liked Spoon until this album, not sure where to go next lol

If Wild doesn't blow up, someone should get fired
