Album Review
The Normal Years strings together Built to Spill's loose ends: outtakes from each of the band's first two albums, three independently released singles, and two tracks recorded for compilations. Given bandleader Doug Martsch's penchant for exquisite production and extensive arranging on his later albums, this mix-and-match release is certainly the least desirable full-length the band released. The sound is sparse, and Martsch is still learning the intricacies of his craft. But the innocence in songs like "Girl" and "Joyride" is an aural treat, and The Normal Years works as a good illustration of Built to Spill's humble beginnings.
Customer Reviews
far and away one of the best Built to Spill releases
its not highly produced, and the guitars won't take you off to the land of swoops and swirls that later Built to Spill albums would, but therein lies the magic. making music out of molehills- in its simplicity and rawness, we are exposed to the real Built to Spill, at its core. i much prefer this version of Car to the one on There's Nothing Wrong With Love, and the Daniel Johnston cover, Some Things Last a Long Time is a stand-out track- letting us in on some of the possible inner-workings/tastes of the Marsch mind. all around a rewarding listen.
One of the best
One of the least known/least praised, but none the less one of my favorites
classic
a mix up of great young built to spill tracks, you should get it if you know whatsup
