Disco de Spoon: “Love Ways [EP]”

I can agree with an above reviewer that this is indeed the best 5 song EP I've ever heard. And I definetly don't live under a rock; I'm an absolute music junkie. Spoon are a fantastic band of talented musicians. Britt Daniel is a gifted songwriter, the likes of which we have not seen since the glory days of rock. Take my advice: listen to Spoon. If you listen to them you will love them. I haven't met a soul who's done so and not loved what they heard.

Every song on this EP is a monster song within itself. This is a filler free EP (not that Spoon ever made records with fillers in the first place) and it's kind of like getting punched repeatedly very quickly; the songs just hit you, one phenomenal song after the other. So do it now. Listen to Spoon.

Or at least get these tracks online somewhere. This is not a typical EP released with one good song and some fillers before the next album is released. "Change my life" is one of my favorite rock songs of all time. I dont know why, but it has energy with restraint, fantastically delivered vocals, and great (but slightly ambiguous) lyrics. None of the other songs are quite as good, but there are no throwaways. Just catchy songs. I might even suggest listening to this EP before any of their albums. Then go to "Girls can tell" and "Series of sneaks"

Witty, intelligent, bent, edgy, passionate; Britt Daniel is the kind of songwriter you will carry with you for decades.
