Title: Call them whatever you want Doug, just keep 'em coming
Review: I really didn't know what to expect with this CD. I'm a die-hard BTS fan, but feel like their latest release (Acient Melodies...) was their weakest. This however, is a great CD, and is getting better with each listen.There are only a few tracks that remind me even remotely of Built to Spills' prior recordings. But any BTS fan would be able to recognize Doug's voice/style underwater during a full-on nuclear cacophony; and we all know that Doug IS Built to Spill so you can slap any name you want on the front of the jewel case-- it's all the same in your headphones.It will probably take a few listens for the songs to start distinguishing themselves from each other, and for the more subtle melodies to surface, but you will be rewarded for giving the music time to sink in.
Is the review positive or negative?
