Any word on when a new album might drop?

It's coming out next year. I'm seeing these dudes Saturday and stoked as can be they're the most constant band in my library.

Awesome! Have a great time.

You're right.. I mean I like some of their stuff, but I can't listen to too many songs in a row.. kinda like with Smashing Pumpkins, I'll go nuts after 3 tracks in a row! :)

But I do think that Car is a classic that I will never grow tired of!

dang i haven't listened to Built to Spill in a cold minute and they're one of my favorite bands

I just got into Built to Spill and I own two albums now - 'Ancient Melodies of the Future' and 'Keep It Like a Secret'. Really good albums, both of them. Working on getting the rest of their stuff.

Another band I found, similar to Built to Spill, is Figurines. I have two of their albums now too.

Aw shucks boo boo! I love Modest Mouse! They're earlier stuff is heavily punk influenced.. I have spent long periods of time listening to Pixies over and over. They are an extremely important band in rock history in my opinion.

But as far as Built To Spill Goes, You In Reverse is an amazing record.

I am sad to hear all this talk of Built to Spill being annoying and hard to listen to. I listen to them 24/7. They are my favorite band of all time. I understand that their songs can sound a bit boring at first. Two years ago the only song I liked by them was Distopian Dream Girl, still love it, and I couldn't see why Carry The Zero was considered such a great song. Now, Carry The Zero is my all time favorite song and I honestly can say I love all their songs.

Built to Spill songs that are not boring at all: Time Trap, Stab, Made-Up Dreams, Strange, Traces, Aisle 13

Distopian Dream Girl and Aisle 13 gave me the Built to Spill bug and it has been over a year now where they are the majority of who I have been listening to. :yeah:

Also, I love when people say that Built to Spill's best album is You In Reverse because it is my least favorite out of them all (excluding The Normal Years). And it just validates how all of their records are extremely good and that everybody who likes one of their songs like Car or Liar needs to go and listen to 100% of their music. I am willing to bet that you will find more than a couple songs you will like quite a bit more than Car or Liar.

One of my favourite bands. Best albums are Perfect From Now On, Keep It Like A Secret and There's nothing Wrong With Love.
