Album: Transference
Ditching the baby talk album titles, Spoon comes back to continue their success with their newest effort, Transference.

While it may not have anything as catchy as 'The Underdog' or 'You got Yr. Cherry Bomb,' it does boast eleven solid, consistent tracks that make an overall delightful listen.

The lyrics grow repetitive in 'The Mystery Zone,' but it manages to hold on, as listeners never gets tired of hearing Daniel sing the title phrase in his fake British accent.

While their previous album was the most varied thing they'd ever done, featuring everything from reggae to post-punk to power-pop, the tracks on Transference tend to blend together. It feels like a homogenization of all their previous styles, and they seem to have stopped exploring other avenues.
Still, this is a very strong album, and proves that Spoon has the capacity to be a major musical force for years to come. They are talented songwriters, and Transference is their most self-assured album yet.
