When I listen to the album, track 3 seems to cut off at the end. Is this happening for anyone else?
Other than that, good album.

They should have used a producer. Sorry Spoon, but your new album is a complete disappointment. I hope you got making an upscale demo out of your system and get back to the class act rock band that you have been prior to putting out this crap.

Spoon’s famous minimalism has always suggested freedom and space; but the threadbare vibe of “Transference” suggests instead a blatant lack of hooks / passion / ideas. Oh, and a lack of a Producer, too: Spoon’s always taken a “kids in a candy store” approach to recording, but “Transference” shows that they need an adult on hand as well — if only to pay for all those goodies….

3 1/2
Another beneficial serving in a notable streak of sorts finds the easygoing but deceptively taut indie rockers sticking to their lo-fi formula of intelligent, catchy excellence mixed with a weaker second side (aside a brilliantly edited conclusion).
