Transference

While Spoon have been an exceptionally consistent band, "Transference" feels like a step backwards. I appreciate that the band is trying something new and experimental, but most of it just comes off pretty awkward. The writing is there, but the instrumentation is extremely repetitive to the point where this is their most plodding release yet. Also, why do some of these tracks end so goddamn abruptly? It has absolutely no sense of flow.
