iTunes Review
“It’s just a habit,” Built to Spill founder Doug Martsch sings near the end of the band’s first album in five years. But You in Reverse, however akin its often melancholy vocals and lyrics are to earlier BTS releases, finds the band with a new second guitarist (Jim Roth) and laying down some of its most sprawling, yet focused, studio tracks. The rushing “Goin’ Against Your Mind” lets drummer Scott Plouf take a lead role, while “Conventional Wisdom” pays homage to Television with a towering solo and even some chiming notes that could be straight from “Marquee Moon.” “Mess With Time” fittingly rumbles through a couple of tempo changes, at one point suggesting a kind of spaghetti-Western ska. Whether or not these songs’ sometimes bewildered verbal content reflects Martsch’s mood, their sonic attack gives notice that the man is nowhere near giving in.
Customer Reviews
Should be 9/10...
Built To Spill's reputation was huge, as a guitar hero-led alternative rock band, with fun in their edge. Then, they went and got all miserable, coinciding with a crisis of confidence in the hero Doug Martsch's ability to be the lead man. Thankfully, the band have pulled themselves together for their first album in 5 years, and what a comeback it is. There are moments which remind of 20 years of alternative rock, from the Cure through The Smiths to REM, but mostly what there is is some riveting, vibrant rock, like Band of Horses or Mercury Rev rooted through some classic guitarsmithery. You In Reverse is spacey, catchy and spun from woven melody lines. The first listen sounds great, and repeated listens will have you waking up with at least one of these songs playing in your head. It is addictive stuff, intelligent rock with crunch and soul. It is probably the band's best ever album, and should be the first Built To Spill album in your collection.
