Pity Spoon. When your whole sound is so stripped, so mechanical, so deadpan, so restrained, how do you make a Spoon album that sounds like a Spoon album without making the same Spoon album?
This time they go late-era Black Keys, adding some detuned piano, some mello strings, some shimmering synthies, on top of what's otherwise a bog standard Spoon song. It's not well integrated, not a good faith effort to do something new, just feeling stapled on (esp I Just Don't Understand, yikes), a tarted up grand dame that feels flatly unnecessary 2.5/5
