3.5 stars out of 5 - "Retro-leaning piano melodies, simple two-beat rhythms and Britt Daniel's cocky, deadpan vocals.", "The Music's Percussive Pulse Builds to Choruses So Pointed They Could Penetrate Asphalt.", "Fiction Is Less Nervous than Its Predecessors but Emotionally Knottier..."-Grade: B-, Ranked #14 in Magnet's "The 20 Best Albums Of 2005" - "Spoon's minimalist tendencies give ground to a broader palette of sounds, but the band continues to get under your skin.", Ranked #24 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2005" - "Rarely less than decent, they're suddenly untouchable for life.", 4 stars out of 5 - "An artfully ambitious return to form, with songwriter Britt Daniel shadowboxing mystery and misperception amid enigmatically cool melodies, feedback washes and sound effects."
