jdmel Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 ha the band and the album could have been made up by a baby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socbret Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I've always been a big fan but I have considered getting Spoon bedsheets and wallpaper ever since Rob Pope joined the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Icky Thump? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Icky Thump? OK...that's close. Farrar's "Gob Iron" is another not-so-great title. But, "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga"?..........it's just freakin' stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I hate the title Neon Biblei'm not too hot on it as the title of AF's record, but blame this guy: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (According to Pitchfork:) "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga". The word you're looking for is "worst," not "worse." It is a pretty stupid album title, but I'd probably give the title (ha) of "worst" to that eight page job by Fiona Apple. Farrar's "Gob Iron" is another not-so-great title.A gob iron is another word for a Jew's harp. It's also the name of the band, not the name of the album. The album is Death Songs for the Living.

cryptique Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (According to Pitchfork:) "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga". I'd be surprised if this is the final title. If it is ... well, yeah. It sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, yeah, my bad on the Gob Iron slip (I never bought the Gob Iron record.) In my head, I associated "Gob Iron" with other superb Farrar-inspired word creations like Terroir Blues, ThirdShiftGrottoSlack and Voodoo Candle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Regardless of the title, it's Spoon. None of their albums have disappointed me at all. In fact, Kill The Moonlight still beats out every Wilco album as a "desert island selection" for me. There, I said it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's not TOO outlandish....I, too, like all their albums...DEFINITELY one of the really solid rock bands going....even if it sometimes sounds like Brit Daniels has marbles in his mouth. But, to me, nothing is in the league of Being There....I'm absolutely ga ga ga ga ga about that classic Wilco record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I love Yo La Tengo (and this album) but I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass is not a great album title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, Kill The Moonlight still beats out every Wilco album as a "desert island selection" for me. There, I said it.Huh. That's actually in the running for my least favorite Spoon record (and I still like it -- I just like the other ones better, except maybe Gimme Fiction, which I never warmed up to very much). For me, A Series of Sneaks is their masterpiece. Girls Can Tell is a respectable second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me, A Series of Sneaks is their masterpiece. Girls Can Tell is a respectable second. yep. but i love Moonlight too. and i'm with you, as good as Gimme Fiction is, it seemed like Spoon-lite to me always, i dunno. hoping for better things from this one.

quarter23cd Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I love Yo La Tengo (and this album) but I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass is not a great album title.I like that one. For the record, I'm also probably way in the minority in thinking that Icky Thump is all kinds of awesome. Sky Blue Sky isn't super exciting, but it kind of at least fits the mood of the album. But Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is neither here nor there. Feels like they're trying to be clever/cute, but its not really working. Then again, thats kind of how I feel about Spoon in general, so maybe I'm biased. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco LP #7 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 It makes me anticipate some freewheelin' Spoon tracks, which excites me endlessly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
