Once again, the word "perfection" must be used to describe Spoon's sixth album. Britt Daniel and his Austin, Texas crew have cultivated another record that blends pop/rock
with just enough obscurity to keep the album sounding, well, like Spoon. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga might be the worst LP name ever, but the
music is what rips the record from the mainstream indie-rock scene.
Many newer rock bands can master their first album, but struggle with their
second. (Check out the latest from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah if you don't know what I am talking about). This is where Spoon deviates from
the rest. On this record, like their previous five, the band maintains the quality that listeners have come to expect and continues to pay
close attention to the small details that can sometimes go overlooked. It would take an avid Spoon fan to notice any flaws; however, it may
be noted that the band has fallen into a steady trend of repetitious album structures. This might be seen as an issue but their sound is
too good for it to be problematic.
Like all Spoon albums, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga was recorded on two-inch analog tape and therefore should be listened to on vinyl. The warm vinyl
sound is what guitarist/vocalist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno have been accurately capturing for years now. Check out "Don't You Evah,"
and "The Underdog," as well as the twelve-track bonus CD that comes with the LP.
