Spoon - Transference poill

It's one of my favourites of theirs. Never listened to A Series of Sneaks and Telephono though.

Did you mean 1/2. Sneaks/Transference? If you did I totally agree

No, sorry, I typo'd. I meant: 1/2. Sneaks/Telephono. 3/4. Girls/Kill. 5. Transference.

Admittedly, I should probably revisit Telephono. It's been a long time.

hard to believe the last "beginning of a new decade" was ten years ago.

this album is great, the problem is it followed the three headed beast.

Greg Ackell – 5 Albums that helped shape Drop Nineteens’ Hard Light

Spoon – Transference

Spoon. Could have picked any one of their albums as an inspiration for Hard Light. I also could have made this list five Spoon albums, because there’s no band I listen to or study more. But then I’d have to leave five Spoon albums out. Britt sounds a little exasperated on this one, coming down from heights of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga probably. And it’s his least favorite Spoon album. He does seem a little lost. But it’s a very honest album (as a result?). It’s still the only album they self-produced. That line “Times that we met before we met”-just smart as hell. “Out Go the Lights” and “Nobody Gets Me But You” have the kind of outros that make outro heavy bands (like my own) British racing green with envy. It’s hard to make a great album, not sure I’ve made one yet. Now imagine making TEN albums without any being the slightest bit short of great. They didn’t even slip one mediocre one in. Spoon.

I think I own a Drop Nineteen album but never really warmed up to them too much. Anyways, found this and agree with his take.
