    This is a real, classic rock 'n' roll record, with powerhouse production backing a set of songs that actively engage.

    For the first time in their career, Built to Spill have made an album that is both lyrically and musically indifferent.

    A sullen record. A droopy misfire. It's so hard to say this considering all the bliss this band has brought me. The magic is fading, the melodies TOTALLY weak. All the power and heart and the way their music had the ability to turn us all inside out with emotion is turned 2 dimensional. This is what I dreaded most as I counted down the days.… Expand
