I had this at a '9' because it's not my favorite BTS song, but it just got bumped to a '10'.  Some others were just turned up to '11'.  {#Dancingbanana_2}

Jeff Tweedy sounds like John Lennon?  I hope that doesn't mean that anyone who may sing with a nasal tone would qualify as a Lennon clone?

I started by giving it a 7.

I'm now down to a 5 with it

I'm starting to think you may have had it right all along

Oh rather like this...it was reminding me of somebody else until Bill played the next track: Neil Young - Words (Between The Lines Of Age)
Some similarity there is think...in a good way :)

Been following these guys since the early 90's.  Amazing live shows.  Doug Martsch is genius, though he has mellowed a bit from his Treepeople days, but have't we all...

Straining to sound like Lennon notwithstanding, this song has a nice feel to it. I like it!
Of course, I like Lennon so I paid attention when it started and  gave it a chance.
I'll have to listen to more of the album, which is why, in a way, RP exists. Turn us on!
thanks, Bill & Rebecca &&&&&&&&&

On the basis of hearing this album, I went to see them live in Eugene, OR while visiting progeny.  Totally different experience: (too) loud, much higher energy.

I think my internal clock is set slow. I like the pace of this and is really pleasing. Mind you I like dub and that is generally about 60 bpm at a guess. 

Put me in a room with gabba or hardcore and after about 30 seconds I might have to kill someone.

Like most artists that have become my favorites, Built to Spill has grown on me. Enjoy them more and more after each listen.
