I'm ashamed to say I had no idea who these guys were until I saw "Stranger Than Fiction" this past year. As soon as I got home from seeing that, I went to Amazon.com to check out who was on the soundtrack. Then went to iTunes and bought everything they've done. They are awesome!

Been listening to this for the last few days (FWIW, I'll definitely be buying it when it comes out), and it's really good - typical Spoon, no drastic changes from their last couple albums, but that wasn't needed anyways.
Oh, and it's 36 minutes long
I hope they add a couple bonus/hidden tracks to the final album to bring it closer to 40 minutes.

Actually, I think it's their most consistent album yet - while Gimme Fiction (along with most of their albums) had a few songs that are stronger than anything on Gax5, it also had a few songs far weaker than anything on Ga.

So I listened to the bonus disc, and while it's pretty out there, it's a very cool bonus. It's about 22 minutes long, with 12 tracks. The tracks are all over the place, from instrumental "sound-scapes" to demo sounding songs to remixes of album tracks. The whole thing seems like a collection of studio out-takes and experiments, mixed and edited to flow together in order to make this cd seem more cohesive than it would otherwise. So it's not at all something I would give the non-Spoon fan to listen to, but it's a cool little bonus for the fans, especially those who have already downloaded the album, it's a no-brainer at $7, considering it should be scarce soon enough.
