Really? I felt like "You In Reverse" was one of their best. "Going Against Your Mind" has got a great pace to it, and "Traces" was one of their best tunes, compositionally speaking. I can understand "Ancient Melodies" though. I read an interview with Doug a while back where he admitted that he wrote all the lyrics for that album in order to fit the instrumental parts he'd already written. But "The Weather" is one of their best, lyrically. "Keep it Like a Secret" is my favorite right now. The whistling on "Broken Chairs" is strangely energizing. |

Really? I've never found Perfect From Now On to feel too long. I think There's Nothing Wrong With Love played the blueprint to Keep it Like a Secret, and it's also surely one of Isaac Brock's favorite albums. Do you like Elliott Smith? He did a pretty neat cover of Car, minus the stupid drum. I'm of similar thoughts regarding You in Reverse and Ancient Melodies of the Future. I like them, but they don't keep me coming back for more. New Built to Spill album coming out this fall, guys. It's called "There Is No Enemy." |

i've been revisiting these guys for the past few hours at my friend's behest. definitely holds up much better than a lot of the older indie stuff i used to listen to, Perfect From Now On and Keep It Like a Secret are sheer classics.
i'm pretty upset now knowing that i missed seeing Doug Martsch like eight times in the past few years (and from what i hear, he's fucking electric).

HEY! The new album, There is No Enemy, came out today. It's rare these days that an album's release date comes along and no one's been discussing a leak. I've been anxiously awaiting it, have not heard it, and I'm picking it up after work. Can't wait!
On the other hand, I'm not very excited about one of the ugliest album covers I've seen in a while.
