Title: It's just not very good...
Review: I have no Spoon history so I think that unlike most reviewers I have no preconceptions about liking or disliking the record... I just don't like it.After several full listens, I find the songs sounding amateurish and weak. The tunes that I think are supposed to rock (Jonathan Fisk) never really do, and the ones that are supposed to come off as perhaps more meaningful or introspective (Paper Tiger) never succeed in hooking me in. I like two and three-chord songs as much as the next person but these just don't have enough else to them to really deliver.Instead of comparing this one to other Spoon albums or even albums from other "indie rock" bands try comparing this to good albums from any genre. With this approach I think that you'll agree that Spoon's Kill the Moonlight is just not very good.
