Transference has so many great tracks though. I'm still really partial to Girls Can Tell. Didn't really get into the last few but I'm looking forward to the new one.
I’m not unwilling to give it another chance because it’s been years, but I don’t recall many standouts.
Picture yourself set up for good in a whole other life, my man.
Mystery Zone is easily a top 5 Spoon song for me... this new album is exactly what I want from them, though.
I'm in the club of Transference probably their weakest but agree that Mystery Zone is incredible.

Hardest Cut was the highlight for me.
This album is a keeper.

That's the only other one I listened to. Can't say it hit me like Wild.

You guys know that Jack Antonoff co-wrote and produced Wild, right?

This & Feels Alright have been my favorites, so far. Love Wild, too. Whole album is good

I went out and purchased this CD today. A rare occurrence the older I get. Popped it in, started driving, heard the first few of lines of "Held" and just smiled. It took me a second to realize what it was, and that's even with me owning Knock Knock on vinyl. Spoon reworked it juuust enough to make it sound like theirs, didn't they?

A little background - Spoon is a band I really wanted to like in 2007. Went out and got Ga Ga… on I think recommendations from here. I didn’t hate it but I didn’t feel anything in particular about it. Then I saw them live at Lollapalooza in 2007. Didn’t hate them but didn’t care about them either - not sure I even stayed for the full set. Haven’t touched the band since.
This morning, on all of your recommendations, I listened to Lucifer on the Sofa on the way into work - I was honestly one ear on the music and one finger ready to repeat listen to Earthling yet again if I wasn’t feeling it. First song, Held, and I was really into it - shocked by how much I liked it, so we’ll stick around for another song. The Hardest Cut - also great - The Devil & Mister Jones - even better…Wild, Feels Alright, On the Radio, Astral Jacket, Satellite, and the title track flew by, and damn if this isn’t that record I was hoping to get way back 15 years ago. I may just need to start over with this band.

That's awesome.
It's been said before but imo they're the most consistent band post 2000. And even Divine Fits is really good.
