Anyone else heard this album yet? It's pretty damn good. Not as poppy as Ga (x5) but probably a better album. Tough to say after only 3 or 4 listens.

    i dont know a whole lot about spoon but they are played a lot on some of my pandora channels...love the song "i turn my camera on" (i think that's what its called). does most of their music have a similar sound? i'll have to do some research

    I'm a huge fan of this album now. I can't stop listening to Trouble Comes Running.

    Ive seen them several times and they are great live-one time they kind of mailed it in, but most of the time they are great. I am sure they will be excited to play RCMH.

    They are playing a "surprise" show at mercury lounge tonight-tough ticket!

    what an incredible album. thinking right now it will better than "ga ga ga ga..." tracks 3-5 are amazing in that sequence and the last four songs are killer together. "got nuffin" should be amazing live.

    $7.98 at Target. I just saved you a penny. And no, I don't feel bad for buying at Target, since I just paid $45 for a Spoon concert ticket.

    This album is way better than Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Spoon returns to its roots. Love the stripped down feel to this record.
