Yes, I listened to the songs on Transference (as YouTube videos) just now as background music while I was doing some computer work. None of the songs grabbed my attention or made me want to listen again except for one:
Spoon - Out go the Lights
This song made me realize I must have heard some Spoon songs from previous albums on the radio several years ago, because "Out go the Lights" has a similar dark sound, a sad sort of sweetness, and a similar use of long bass notes at the end (around 3:00 in the video).
The other two songs on the album that made me pay attention were "Got 'nuffin" and "Nobody gets me but you." I like the aggression in "Nobody gets me but you," but I doubt I'll listen to any of the other songs again besides these three. Most of the songs seem fairly bland and repetitive to me. Whereas "Finer Feelings"...I'll happily listen to that five times in a row!
