Review
"Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" is Spoon's brilliant sixth album, fitting perfectly into their evolutionary journey that combines indie rock charm with pop flair and a hint of new wave nostalgia. Released back in 2007, the album really captured that quirky excitement that only Spoon can dish out. It’s layered in melodies and foot-tapping beats, and a clear testament to how far they've come.
Tracks like "The Underdog" burst through with its addictive horn section that hauls you into an upbeat finish line—irresistible enough to keep your speakers humming long after the last note drops. Then we’ve got "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb," swinging in with subtler but still dangerously catchy vibes, showing off their ability to stroll effortlessly between vigorous and chilled grooves. They’ve got not one trick but a bag full of sonic magic.
Britt Daniel as the frontman propels his emotional vocals—soft whispers elevate to mighty anthems as he steers the musical ship through tracks like "Don’t Make Me a Target" and "The Ghost of You Lingers." Meanwhile, the slick production ensures every twist and nuance smacks you in all the right places. The 2017 remaster only adds another layer of mesmerizing clarity without losing the grandeur of the original. Spoon lived up to their name with this album—ladle by ladle of musical excellence. - Ivy
