It’s weird to think Built To Spill have been around over 14 years. And even before that Doug Martsch was in Treepeople and other bands. A whole five years after their last album, the concise, polished, Ancient Melodies of the Future (2001), You In Reverse finds them in a looser, jammy mode. Their 2000 live album is the closest in feel. Having done a stellar cover of “Cortez the Killer” on the live album, it’s not surprising that the Neil Young influence is stronger than ever here. Forget weaker followers like Modest Mouse, Built To Spill will be the one known for consistent, durably classic rock albums.
