Skipped NJ as most bands do. Damn it

Sucks that they aren't coming to KC, so I may have to head over to Columbia for this show. My guess is that there will be a second leg in the Fall.

Indeed! The only downside is that it's during the week during peak work season, so I need to see if it's even feasible. Would love it, though!

Picked up tickets for Chicago. Spoon and Jack White on consecutive Tuesdays. Good week.

I’m picking my copy up today! So pumped to blast this. I’ve held off hearing any of the new songs.

HAHA!

I was go to try to wait as well, but just finished my 2nd listen. LOVE IT. I may have to come see them in Columbia!

really good, consistent record.

Have listened through twice now and can't wait to keep digging into it. It's really good. I honestly don't know how they keep defying odds and put out such great albums.

Was hoping to have the vinyl sooner and make that my first listen (ordered variant directly from the band), but it won't arrive until next week. Such is life.

It's amazing how Britt and Jim continue to put out consistent albums with the turnover of the other band members through the years.

Just had the first spin and the album sounds wicked. Can’t wait to play it again later. Time for the new Eddie album.

Some really good stuff here. Looking forward to the show in April. Spoon just gets better with age no doubt.

Attaway77

Never got into much of their stuff, some songs here and there. There's some damn good songs on this album though, I like it..

New record is awesome, really digging Wild. Going to see them in Philly, can. not. wait.

I'm a big fan of pretty much everything they've released. That being said, my favorite back-to-back releases are Transference & They Want My Soul. Just killer albums.

Looks like my LP will be delivered tomorrow! Can't wait to properly blast this album after listening on Spotify through earbuds.

pjpjpaul

Can't wait till the Richmond show in April! They've been one of the only bands to release consistently good to great material over the last 20 years and they just keep getting better.

New record blowing my mind! My early vote for best of 22’ 

mfc2006

They sounded great on Kimmel last night. My LP should arrive today!

Ahh gotta remember to watch that

I attended the University of Texas at Austin at the same time as Britt Daniel, the lead singer and major force behind Spoon. We both started there in the fall semester of 1989, and he lived in the Castilian dormitory at the same time as several of my high school buddies. Britt and I apparently frequented some of the same places too (besides Castilian), such as Inner Sanctum Records and the Hole in the Wall. There's no telling how many times I was standing near or walked past Britt on or off the university campus. I wish I could have befriended him back in the day, but perhaps he would have found me too ordinary to tolerate. Anyway, I think I'm going to dive into Spoon's discography more than before and possibly buy a couple of their records on vinyl. I seriously doubt I'll be disappointed. Cheers!

They want my soul is my fav

Personally, my favorite era of the band was Gimme Fiction through Transference. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, despite the name, is a fantastic album.
