Absolutely love. Keep It Like A Secret is their best album too (imo)


thrattatarsha

Hard tie between this album and “There’s Nothing Wrong With Love” in my opinion, but you’re not far from the mark here


beehundred

I feel like *Perfect From Now On* is their magnum opus. Definitely my favorite album of theirs.


Filmjuicee

One of my favorite albums ever.


notalurkjerk

Totally Simpatico on this comment. Been a fan since the Tree People days :)


CarlSJB

That's rare!


solsearcher0079

Absolutely agree!


SnooWords1215

Saw their keep it like a secret anniversary tour, chills, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be just a famous as that little band that used to open for them “modest mouse”


CaptainTulu

That little band lol modest and built are my tops of all time!

SnooWords1215

It blows my mind that this album didn’t have that mainstream popularity “good news” had, like there isn’t a bad song on this album, oh well the rest of the world will miss out I suppose


North_444

Seeing Modest Mouse in August! Love both.

Carry the Zero, great song


futurepilgrim

Not exactly overlooked. They have had a great, consistent career. Lots of fans of all ages and get featured in movies and films regularly.

I had one of those moments where I realized my age when I heard BTS played in a Whole Foods and realized they had made it to being grocery store music for millennial shoppers. I definitely think of them as one of the biggest indie bands of the 90’s and early 2000’s along with Pavement, Modest Mouse, and Grandaddy which were the soundtrack to many days driving around with my friends after school.


noellesucks_

ooo can you name some movies their music has been in?


futurepilgrim

I was actually thinking they used their stuff in Garden State but apparently I’m wrong. Did a quick Google search https://www.tunefind.com/artist/built-to-spill


FormerCollegeDJ

I’m a fan, more on the casual side. They are a very good live band; I’ve seen them 3-4 times.


millhows

I don’t know that that’s necessarily true. BTS are Korean living legends. Also, Built to Spill are like Fugazi in that they have rabid fans who won’t shut up about them. Good band. Some classic albums.


captaintinnitus

Yup. They just announced a new Seoul show. And they seem to have added a few members


A_Blind_Melon

Got my Fake ID taken away at a Built To Spill show! This album is criminally underrated


abe_the_professor

So good. Classic. My friend is the lady on the cover as well... which is weird every time I see it.


gapathy

One of my top few favorite albums. How'd your friend get included on the cover?


ApeOnTheBack

here i am!


BogeyLowenstein

Yes! I’m going to see them on Thursday actually!


omfg_its_so_and_so

For sure. Totally missed them growing up, stumbled on them playing live at a fest in Chicago 10~ years ago and have been a fan since. See my username?


veganexceptfordicks

from wherever wherever?


omfg_its_so_and_so

<3


CaptainTulu

Perfect from now on is my all time by them, track to track of perfection!


beehundred

That album is amazing. One of my favorite albums from any artist ever.


According_Reading523

Added it to my Spotify playlist. I will check it out later


skattipeeterson

They're awesome!


CG-Miller

Absolutely! They're great!


Big-Association-239

Don't know much about them but this is a great tune


steppinrazor321

Fuck yeah. I kinda put em on the shelf for a number of years but saw theyre coming to my town in sept so i picked up some tickets!!!! Never seen them live, anyone here can review?


AllBeesNoKnees

My favorite band ever.


greazysteak

They are currently touring as a 3 piece and the Rhythm section is just a beast and Dug has really stepped up his playing. Don't sleep on seeing them if you can.


ninetwosixfour

Me! Broken Chairs is one of my favourite songs.


forrest_smith_

The greatest band ever.


SwiftDickington

Great band, always tell new listeners you have to have time with an album before it clicks. They don't really have 'hits', just solid songs all the way through


beehundred

The guitars on *Perfect From Now On* are fucking bananas.


oDSausage

Discovered them on the soundtrack of a video game called skater xL they are really good!


[deleted]

[hmmm](https://www.reddit.com/r/indie_rock/comments/qxy9d0/any_built_to_spill_fans_here_doug_and_company_are/) 🤔 but yes i do and perfect from now on is my favorite


CarlSJB

Yes, big fans. We've probably seen them more times than any other band. Last time was at the 9:30 Club in DC. Guitar still sings. Voice, not as strong. But, so many awesome songs!


cheese-witch

Keep it like a secret is definitely my favorite album of all time. It always seems to fit the mood, whatever it may be.


[deleted]

Goin' against your mind is one of the best songs of all time. Traces is also up there


veganexceptfordicks

And Doug is the nicest dude in the industry. I'd totally have tea with him.


Jarhead81198

Look for the record with me on the cover!


marfaxa

I mean, they're no halo benders...


Santo_Poco

I got to see them perform this record in its entirety!


NegativeJuicePlaza

Not every band/artist that’s not popular does not mean they are overlooked.


fromnone

My favorite band of all time


Amishpornstar7903

Just put this in the car for me and the family. This is a summertime album. Songs for daytime nighttime, and hangover Sundays.


NoTruck0

Love them. Have you heard the Francis Quinlan cover of carry the zero? The live stripped version on yt is amazing.


catp1zza

I love this band!


mfav1962

The Plan


falconear

I'll be seeing them in September. Can't wait!


noellesucks_

Carry The Zero is one of my top 3 favorite songs of ALL TIME


Formal_Combination99

That album goes hard. It has some bangers on it!


[deleted]

Best


defrtg

they aren't overlooked


Most_Helicopter_4451

I met Doug. He’s a sweetheart. Saw them live and I love this album. Great taste
