If you're looking for a gateway into Spoon's eclectic sound, 'Everything Hits at Once' is the perfect starting point. This compilation is a well-curated mix of their greatest hits, showcasing the band's evolution over the years.
The sound quality is fantastic, especially on vinyl. There's a warmth and depth to the recordings that digital formats just can't match. It's clear that care was taken in selecting and mastering these tracks.
While some fans might miss a few personal favorites (I know I did), the selection here represents Spoon at their best. Tracks like 'The Underdog' and 'I Turn My Camera On' sound as fresh and vibrant as ever.
For new listeners, this album serves as an excellent introduction. I found myself discovering new favorite tracks with each listen - something that rarely happens with compilations.
The only minor complaint? The album might leave you wanting more - but that's what Spoon's full discography is for! This compilation absolutely lives up to its title: everything here hits, and hits hard.
