COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not for spooning submitted by Caser on April 7, 2010, 2:39pm When Spoon released the single, "Written in Reverse," a few months before this record came out, my expectations were unrealistically high. Coming on the heels of their finely crafted and evenly paced album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, the song signaled another another heavy hitting, big building rock album with enough pop sensibility to get a little radio play without overexposure, and most importantly, not sacrificing Spoon's idiosyncratic sound.

"Reverse" turns out to be the best song on the record, which wouldn't be a rip if the so many of the other songs weren't so disappointing, especially on the first half. "Before Destruction" is a signature slow burner that sounds like it was written as a deeper cut on Kill the Moonlight, but here as the first track, it lacks the hook and punch to get you excited about hearing the rest of the songs. "The Mystery Zone" strikes a deep groove that is immediately satisfying, but the song doesn't go anywhere, instead content to let the spark fizzle for an overlong five minutes.

The second half of the album is definitely the stronger material, with a greater range of tones and styles in the vein of their last release. For Spoon fans, Transference feels like more of a stopgap that lacks definite direction, rather than another Gimme Fiction or Ga Ga..., so I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to their sound, though it does have its share of good tunes.
