Village Voice (Consumer Guide)
Though I can imagine putting this on at year's end and remembering every song with a kind of surprised admiration, I can't imagine doing it any sooner--or any later either. ...more
Drowned In Sound
You know a good sound when you want to take out a second mortgage to buy headphones good enough to appreciate it. ...more

Spoon's loosest, most eclectic effort yet. ...more
Lost At Sea

Rolling Stone
Austin quartet Spoon turned out workmanlike indie-rock records for eight years, until 2002's irresistible, groove-drivenKill the Moonlighttook them to another level. Tracks like "My Mathematical Mind," on their new album,Gimme Fiction, recapture ...more
Rolling Stone
The overall effect can be vaguely schizo -- many of these tracks seem more like cool fragments than true songs. ...more
PrefixMag
Britt Daniel and Jim Eno of Spoon have been courting a trademark sound since releasingTelephonoon Matador in 1996. From that record's lo-fi Wire-worship on through the intricate quirks of 2002'sKill the Moonlight, Spoon's very identity stemmed from their ...more
