It's a masterpiece.
for me it's Else
>>122897931It's their 3rd best, right after Perfect and UAW

>>122898007>carry the zero >liar >things fall apart >randy described eternity >the plan
>>122897989its their Good News album; the one before they drop off
>>122898007reasons is underrated
>>122897931This and Moon & Antarctica are better than Perfect From Now On and Lonesome Crowded West
>>122898078Objectively true and insanely based
Doug is so incredibly fucking underrated. Just a fantastic musician all around. Great songwriting and top tier guitar riffs and composition. Really talented guy.
>>122897981that was my go-to jukebox song when the bar was closing up in college
>>122897931I definitely prefer BTS over Modest Mouse and I don't get LCW at all, but there's something so special about songs like 'gravity rides everything'. Built to Spill never achieved that level but it was close
>>122898168I'd argue that Carry the Zero is one of the best songs ever written.
>>122898179that's because you're a faggot who doesn't listen to much music
>>122898078Nah, the guitarwork in Perfect From Now On is the best they've done.
>>122898168https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFVHyL0MIVAperfection
>>122897931beautiful guitar tone
>>122898007>>122898040>no time trap or Dystopian dream girlI am ashamed, 4chan
>>122898179I see why. Do you have any recs for someone who likes M&A and KILAS a lot? I don't listen to that kind of Indie rock, besides Modest Mouse, and that one Pavement song
>>122898220post your top 5 then, coward
>>122898220I mean all their stuff from the 90's is pretty solid
5. Temporarily Blind4. I Would Hurt a Fly3. Kicked it in the Sun2. Else1. Carry The Zerobonus: Reasons, Untrustable Pt2
>>122898233>Out of Site>Shameful Dread>Dystopian Dream Girl>Conventional Wisdom>Time Trap
>>122898220Holy based, those are my two favorites as well
their first 3 records are better than Keep, the first has that raw magic, the 2nd is a perfect blend of pop and indie sensibility, and the third is indie prog masterpiece
>>122898228https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzkvfBaPmJU
>>122898330based, you should like, let me groom you on discord now
>>122898007Kicked it in the SunThree Years Ago TodayFlingDistopian Dream GirlBuilt to Spill (could easily swap that for any song off perfect or even something like nowhere nothin fuckup or reasons)
>>122898364>Three Years Ago Today>Built to SpillHoly bbbbbb-based
>>122898078>>122898096thats the opposite of based, Lonesome Crowded West and Perfect From Now On are the definition of based as far as their discogs go, Built to Spill's first record could maybe considered their most based
>>122898129imo his ego has damaged him as a touring musician, I've seen them live twice once 6 years ago and again like 4 years ago, the first time they were a 5 piece and they had all the necessary guitar layers, the 2nd time they were a 3 piece and they were severely lacking the element that made their music cool (guitar layering) now they tour as a 3 piece and the drummer is a chick too, if they come to town do yourself a favor and skip it cause its a disappointment
>>122898228Pavement brighten the corners, also recently i fell in love with The Wrens Secaucus which first 3 songs after the intro are especially god tier
>>122897931They have some good lyrics but none even come close to Built to Spill from their debut. Pure, unfiltered grunge attitude.
>>122898379that opening riff to 3 years changed my life when i first heard it, instant bliss>just awhile go i had a sudden realization>that everything bad that could happen to me would
i talked to doug marsch after his show in eugene years back and i didn't know what to say so I asked him what album he was most proud of and he said something like>im proud of all of them but right now its my newesttotal bummer to hear that, musicians always have to believe that crap that their new release is their biggest achievement yet
>>122898460Soulless answer
I recommend the texas jerusalem crossroads by lift to experience to everyone
>>122898407>and the drummer is a chick too
>>122898460you noob, you gotta ask them loaded questions, bordering on insulting so they get emotional and let their guard down for a moment during which they're truthful>hey kike, why do you think keep it like a secret is y'all's best album?
>>122898466thats how it felt, at the time I only knew their first 4 records too so it felt very disconnecting, couple years later I saw Pavement and boy did them only having 5 records (4 of which are masterpieces) make their overall sound feel in touch with the old era
>>122898078>>122898096are you two retarded? how do you even get to this point? LCW mogs literally single every indie rock album, fucking M&A? how can you have such awful taste?
>>122898168>>122898078>>122898096>>122898207>>122898228where are you faggots coming from? i hate nu/mu/ so goddamn much
>>1228980071. twin falls2. traces3. dystopian dream girl4. good ol' boredom5. tell me now>>122898078the best BTS album is you in reverse and the best MM album is interstate 8, you sniveling naked whelp
also why are MM and pavement selling out arenas and BTS is still doing intimate indoor concerts
>>122898007>the weather>twin falls>car>carry the zero>cortez the killer - live
>>122900690the curse of being your favorite artist's favorite artist
>>122897931Get over yourselfStop listing to pitchfork and shopping at urban outfitters Anthony Fantano shouldn't dictate your listening habitsBuilt To Spill is music for balding Kamala Harris supporters that still see dinosaur jr and Pinback at some gay hipster fest in MilwaukeeFuck all that They don't even play their guitars right Whiny ass vocalsThe pussies who made this outta get laid or get a job
>>122902020wtf i hate built to spill now
>>122902020Anthony Fantano actually seems to have it out for BTS I've only heard him mention them a few times but he's gone out of his way to shit on them and claims they're "inessential"
>>122900028you’re neurotic
I didn't know this band and it sounds like some generic indie band you'd hear in an episode of Scrubs or something
>>122900675>the best BTS album is you in reversesaid no one ever

>>122898078you're right about built to spill but the moon and antarctica is not better than the lonseome crowded west, im sorry
>>122898007>>strangeunderrated pick, also one of my favorites by them
