    Now You Know is an inspiring creation. I would expect nothing less from Doug Martsch.

    A great album, clearly Martsch is expanding on his ambitions here. Bluesy and down-straight slide guitar riffs are entertaining and dynamic enough to keep the album fresh and interesting.

    If Robert Plant played Appalachian folk tunes, it would probably sound like this.

    Now You Know has the same quiet majesty that drew music fans to Built to Spill in the first place.

    Now You Know is full of the stuff BTS fans love: angular melodies, expansive nods to prog-rock and that droning, nasally voice that makes indie-rock geeks stand up and cheer.

    Now You Know is most definitely a departure, but the source is completely, wonderfully recognizable.
