EpicApr 25, 2007Another flawless album by one of my favorite bands in the world. Solid all the way through, not one average song on the album.

Capt.ShinerAug 17, 2006It's been a couple of months since this was released and I wanted that much time to see how much staying power it had. As you can see, I think it sticks like KrazyGlue. Every once in a while I need to take a frivolous road trip to destroy my eardrums with sound without dragging anyone else down with me. PLAY IT LOUD!

myklesApr 11, 2006Built to Spill do more musically in one album than most bands do in a lifetime. This album is nothing less than revolutionary -- simply incredible and groundbreaking.

DontrelleMApr 18, 2007Built To Spill are without a doubt the most underrated band right now in music. Every album they've released has been amazing and a real labor of love from them. With this album they once again prove why there one of the most reliable bands around. YIR is probably there best work of there career. I love this band!

christopherApr 17, 2006This album's melody can be found oozing throughout its mostly complex compostions. Most tunes have 6 or so different humming oppertunities. However, If your looking for a step back to the early 90's simplicity and pop appeal look elsewhere. If your open to the next step, jump in. BTW, may require many listens and a hankering for neil young like textures to truly enjoy.

ZacharyMJul 10, 2006A very refreshing album. Progressive and positive--a break from the monotony of most of todays music.

EricSApr 16, 2006Built to Spill is my favorite band. So I may be a little biased. However, this CD was overall a good CD but compared to their previosu CDs it just doesnt compare. It is a success while at the same time being a failure if that is possible. But as I said Im baised they get a 7 and an additional 2 for being them.

D.J.Apr 16, 2006This album will teach today's indie kids how to rock. Truly, this is a band who knows how to play their instruments with precision. Sorry some people don't have the patience to sit through a song that is longer than four minutes today, but you're missing out on one of the best albums of the year. You're loss, kids.

MattApr 11, 2006It is a good and also complex album - the only weakness is songs that sometimes drag on at the end.

TroyGApr 14, 2006I m not a big rock critic but i think content wise it's what the market actually needs . I hate major labels and warner bros equals genocide but beyond that i think the band was on some pretty good shit in portland and i think this album will stic around for awhile8/10 Props to steven lobdell for production-I think the bass could be fatter

Entertainment WeeklyMore enjoyably organic-sounding than most of 2001's too pristine Ancient Melodies of the Future. [14 Apr 2006, p.86]
-
A record that progresses as a sequence of dislocated sounds, an expressionist's puzzlebox that comes alive when distanced from one's preconceived notion of what a Built to Spill record should sound like.
-
Though there are no great surprises on You in Reverse, it is one of Built to Spill's strongest efforts, and anyone who has followed their career knows that this is high praise indeed.
