It's very rare for a band to make it to "national tv" and not sell out, Built to Spill is a testament that bands can still make great music without changing their roots. I've been a Built to Spill fan since I was a wee lad and have seen em 5 times, and actually got to shake Doug Martsch's hand and had a few sentences with him, a great man and musician. Anyone who hasn't checked out his solo album released in "02 called Now You Know, check it out.
@fractalheadache please re-listen to the album again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again. Now, what do you think?
@fractalheadache How can you not like "Thing's Fall Apart"? That song is a masterpiece. So is "Life's a Dream", though I prefer the way they played it Live at the Big Easy (which I have a recording of on my page), to the way they went on to play it on the album version.
@fractalheadache I'm quite shocked to be honest. :P

@fractalheadache It's definitely pretty somber.

@sorenkierkegaard2008 Just my opinion, one of the most boring albums I've ever heard.
