5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best album this year so far., 10 Jun 2005
This is definitely one of the best random purchase i've done this year; this indie rock album is a little gem which I can highly recommend to anyone. All of my friends who have listened to it thought it was amazing... the pretty amazing thing is that my friends all have pretty different tastes in music.
Spoon is one of the most diverse band at the momment.. they're having a go ( and a damn serious one ) at sounding like so many different bands... all the songs feel different which is very surprising yet the songs are so catchy that you will easily sing along the first time you listen to it. There isn't a weak song at all and I can't even say that I have a favorite either.. it depends on the day. "I turn my Camera on" sounds like Scisor Sisters; the guitar solo on "this delicate place" feels like Graeme Coxon & Blur, "Was it you" sounds like LCD soundsystem and "Merchants of soul" is like the White Stripes...
Not too much in common between these bands, yet Brit Daniel's Spoon manages to bridge the whole lot to make this a hell of a fun album, perfect for the summer!
Should sell in large numbers... too good for an Indie band, too weird and unconventional to be mainstream.
If you're bored of the predictable bands; Coldplay sounding like... Coldplay or Oasis new album which sounds like their old stuff. Check this amazing band/ songwriter you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A world of intimate sound, 9 May 2005
By A Customer
Even though I am originaly from Texas, I didn't discover SPOON until I heard "A Series of Sneaks" in 1998.
When the first song started in the store...I delayed leaving until the track "40 gallon tank" was over. That was all I needed to hear to justify paying full price for a cd in this world of pirate worthy music.
Since then, SPOON has thrilled me with eerie heartwarming tracks on the albums "Kill the Moonlight" and "Girls Can Tell."
All are worthy of purchasing.
The first time I heard "Gimme Fiction" I didn't know what to think. I had built up a nervous anticipation for the new album that was impossible for any band to fufill.
I didn't think the first impression made much of an impression...until later that day I kept hearing the melodies from a couple of the new songs in my head, singing the few words that I had memorized.
The next day, I put on the cd...and I was overjoyed to realize that SPOON had outdone themselves once again.
Gimme Fiction is dancable, good to workout to, great for driving, and even though I have stopped...I'm sure that it goes great with herb! :P
Now...my only fear is that a song will show up on some cursed Vodafone commercial!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spoon - Gimmie Fiction, 2 Sep 2009
By A. Jack (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this album, when you listen to it for the first time you'll find yourself remember these songs from many US TV shows. Most of the songs are really easy to listen to, with a solid beat behind them.
