Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Most guitar heroes make their mark by doing something extravagant, like playing with their teeth or with their instrument in flames. Doug Martsch of Built To Spill has acquired his guru status by simpler means--he combines his trippy, meandering guitar style with classic pop structures. Martsch also wins points for singing about small-scale moments as well as huge moral abstractions, from watching TV to contemplating the centre of the universe. By subtly balancing the forest of dense guitars with Martsch's oddly prosaic yet uncannily beautiful singing, Built To Spill hold the rare achievement of making music that's rooted yet allows you to fly. "Time Trap" begins with a harp-like guitar line floating above a heavy wave of distortion, drifts into a reggae pattern and eventually rises to the high step of musical theatre. The charming and funny "You Were Right" decides once and for all which of the classic-rock clichés ring true: "You were wrong when you said, 'Everything's going to be all right' / You were right when you said, 'We're all just bricks in the wall.'" It is a richly deserved analysis from alt rock's heroic Everyman. --Lois Maffeo

5.0 out of 5 stars This record has renewed my waning faith in Indie Rock., 25 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Keep It Like a Secret (Audio CD)
This record just roars out of nowhere, rolling and spitting and thundering from the first bar to the last. Sounding like a distillation of all the great white-boy-angst records of the last 15 years it manages to emulate those greats while always sounding like they are the only band in the world, the only sound you've heard. The kind of record you bang on to your mates about, tape it for them and call them every day until they 'get' it. Class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, truly brilliant, 5 Jan 2002
This review is from: Keep It Like a Secret (Audio CD)
This was the first BTS album I bought having heard a track of theirs (Twin Falls-not on this album) covered by Ben Folds Five.
Quite simply, this album is brilliant and provided the soundtrack to my summer, one of the few albums that's been able to lodge itself in my CD player.
Doug Martsch sounds a little like Neil Young but for the MTV generation and his layers of guitars lend a really great 'rock' sound to the entire album. Lyrically, the songs can be quite obtuse but somehow Martsch seems to lend the greatest emotional resonance to otherwise fathomless lyrics. Not that the lyrics are bad, in many places they're great and overall resemble poetry more than song lyrics.
If you like Neil Young, Grandaddy, Radiohead, The Flaming Lips or other bands tha are similar you could do much worse than buying this album, or indeed any of theirs although I personally feel that the newer ones are better.
