Built to Spill - Perfect from Now On. poll

this was my introduction album to Built to Spill and my most played by them. i'm sure my vote is going to go to "I Would Hurt a Fly" but totally in the mood to hear this album, so waiting just in case something else is my favorite now.

velvet waltz makes me feel 16 again in both good and bad ways.

This would be a much harder decision if "I Would Hurt a Fly" was only 4:05 long.

torn btwn "Velvet Waltz" and "Untrustable" but I think in honor of high-school me I'll have to go with the former.

This record is perhaps the crowning achievement of 1997, which was one of the truly great years for music.

'Randy Described Eternity' is my jam.

If we were voting for moments as opposed to tracks, I might go for the the 3:18 section of "Made-Up Dreams."

can't pick a track - this one really works as a whole. amazing record and totally rewards repeated listens.

otm except really the 8 minute two sectioned multiple false endinged Untrustable/Part 2 (About Someone Else) is some kind of epic... ok all the tracks on here are epic but they are epic songs, Untrustable is an epic epic.

does anyone know the story of why there is a period at the end of the name of this record?

Huh. So as I explained on another thread the other day, I never listened to this album until very recently. Was trying to pick a standout track to put on a 1997 playlist, and, despite a friend's recommendation of "Out of Site," I went with "I Would Hurt a Fly." I dunno, I like the cello and the way it picks up at the end.

"I Would Hurt a Fly" is my favorite Built to Spill song. Musically it is pretty much perfect.
