""The Past is a Grotesque Animal" changed my perception of reality. Also it made me violently move my body parts in a rhythmic fashion. Also it's a fantastic song."  Reply

They're still proponents of the 3-minute-ish, concise indie-pop-rock song. There's some air of danger ("Clubs and sticks and bats and balls / For nuclear dicks with their dialect drawls") with opener "don't make me a target" and it's cameo clanging guitar and its extended bridge with play-along-at-home hand claps. Love the horns and cymbals in "you got yr. cherry bomb" and its perpetual drumming motion and cooing vocals near the end. Love the horns and melody of "the underdog" and its built-up ending, with snappy lyrics like "You got no time for the messenger, / got no regard for the thing that you don't understand. / You got no fear of The Underdog, / that's why you will not survive.". The guitar-work in "don't you evah" is funky and the background faint vocal plays are fun. You'll find yourself singing along to the chorus of "finer feelings". The only track that doesn't fully-sit well is the echoey, piano-monotoned lead single "the ghost of you still lingers". I like the song, but i probably missed the point of the vocal and other FX and it feels like a run-on sentence with no chorus and that piano. But that's a minor quibble -- i'm still ga ga over ga ga ga ga ga. These guys sound cooler than that Michael J Fox character tried to sound at the end of Back to the Future. See "eddie's ragga" and its groovy bass. See the acoustic guitar and rawk attitude in "japanese cigarette case". Or maybe they're the indie version of prime huey lewis & the news crossed with early inxs (and a pinch of the clash) on this album. (i'm sure the indie kids love that analogy.) Whatever the magic behind GA5, this is the culmination of spoon's talent."  [+]  Reply

Every song is unique and different and that makes for a very interesting listen and I find it very difficult to even be slightly bored while playing this record. Lyrically, it is very strong and gives us a lot to explore and they always match up very well with the melodies on each song. However, there are a few tracks which are closer to filler and they don't really have the musical quality of the other songs. Overall, it isn't as good as their other releases but it is closer than people give it credit for and it has a lot of brilliant moments on here. "  [+]  Reply

We got lost several times trying to find the trailhead, had to ford several fairly significant creeks in my Nissan Pathfinder, and had to bushwhack most of way to the summit and down to the county line marker. A long and challenging, but really fun, day. It was such a joy to listen to this album with friends--we were all tired and out of words for conversation, so we just hummed along the highway at twilight with the music turned up loud, and it was such a great way to appreciate the subtle beauty of "Impossible Germany," an understated song that builds toward a remarkably warm and intense guitar solo toward the end. As much as I love the album version, hearing the band play it live back in August of 2016 made me appreciate it even more, as the performance by their current lineup really showcases the amazing and unique guitar talents of Nels Cline."  [+]  Reply

The most common criticism for this album is that no track really stand out, but I beg to differ. This album contains two of the greatest songs MM ever recorded, The Parting of the Sensory and Missed the Boat. While the lyricism in this album doesn't quite reach The Moon & Antarctica levels, it's still far superior to the songwriting of most artists. It's a solid album all the way through, and the first six songs really stand out. The second half is weaker, but Education, Little Motel, and Spitting Venom are all very entertaining. Spitting Venom is the longest track on the album, but its good all the way through, but it isn't as great as say The Stars Are Projectors."  [+]  Reply
