Album Review : Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga** For Fans Of : The Flaming Lips, The Shins, The Decemberists The album opens with on of the strongest songs on Ga Ga, the downbeat but catchily repetitive 'Don't Make Me A Target'. In a bit of a creativity failure the second track 'The Ghost Of You Lingers' has the piano following a similar repetitive staccato note that the guitar did in the opener which makes the song sound like a thee minute intro, you just keep hoping it's going to break out into a proper song. 'You got Yr. Cherry Bomb' is the next best track, and along with the opener they are the only two songs to have remained in the memory after repeated listens. Everything else is much of a muchness. Oh, hang on, there is another track that stands out, 'The Underdog' kicks in so much a shanty by The Decemberists that you really expect Colin Meloy to be singing rather than Britt Daniel. There is nothing stunning here, although, there is nothing that would make me turn the radio off if Spoon came on, there isn't anything that would make me crank the volume up either.
