    Give it a few listens and I think you’ll find it to be their best work since the ‘90s, love the lyrics, love the return to the drawn out solos and chord/key changes

    The end result is a sweet and thoughtful set from one of the genre's lifers. [Oct 2022, p.70]

    When the Wind Forgets Your Name shows that in generous spurts this band can still sound as driven and disarmingly sincere as they did a quarter century ago. If it’s a lesser Built to Spill album that’s because they all are now. But as their lesser albums go, it’s one of the better ones.

    When the Wind Forgets Your Name feels like Martsch is more self-assured than ever. Like, he finally realized his position and learned how to play to his strengths as a songwriter. These strengths–especially a confident delivery–have been refined by age and experience, helping to produce the same version of Built to Spill, albeit enhanced, that can still contend with the best albums in their discography.
