If you like this, Built To Spill Live is a must have. "Cortez the Killer" runs over 20 minutes and is still too short.

They we´re certainly inspired by NY & CH. And that´s a good thing. Looking forward to see Neil and the Horse on their foggy trip in Holland in June.

Have loved this band for a long time.  First time I saw them live back in '99 or so, their encore was a 20 minute jam of Cortez the Killer that was absolutely awesome (there is also a 20 minute version of Cortez the Killer on their 2000 Live album that is definitely worth checking out).  Have seen them 3 more times since then, and they were great every time.  They always throw in a cover or two live... last time it was Third Uncle by Brian Eno.  Awesome!

Ditto ick.  Though the Crazy Horse sound initially hooked me, and prompted my to buy this album, the guitar work and range of styles on the other albums made me a fan.

I saw a triple bill of Built to Spill, Sleater-Kinney, and Sonic Youth at an afternoon outdoor show (Seattle, 1997)—definitely not the best venue for the latter.  Anyway, Built to Spill was the best of the three at that show.  Luckily, I managed to see Sonic Youth/Two Dollar Guitar later at CBGBs—MUCH better setting for them.  I've seen Sleater-Kinney three times live and each time I'm kinda like "eh {#Yawn} ."  They're better in a mix of other artists.

Now, this is one of the good BTS tunes, was beginning to wonder whether they had any of their good songs on here, cause they are a perfect example of a hit and miss band.{#Yes}

Excellent Built to Spill song on a perfect album!  >^_^<

  Oh, and I've seen them live several times, mostly in the W.O.W. Hall in Eugene, Oregon. They've always pleased a *full house* of music fans, as they are fantastic live! BTW, the WOW is always all-ages, and many of the younger fans don't even notice a similarity to Neil Young. Doug is not necessarily trying to imitate Neil, his voice just happens to be of that quality, and his singing style fits the melodies.
If Built to Spill seems to be emulating the style of Neil and/or Crazy Horse, one could say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Nothin' wrong with that!
