Murals make it right, well, how can that explain?
Nobody can tell what the hell they're even saying
No one sees it's easier to change
No one sleeps and no one stays awake
No one complains
And I'll find wherever you go
And I'll help with things you don't know
And I'll get you out of the show
And I'll find wherever you go
It's things you have to give and never come around
There's opportunity to tread instead of drown
Remarks will make the living settle down
They call them markets instead of towns
They like how it sounds
Most of us are wrong
Most of us agree
Must have been the wrong
Message we received
If you gotta choose, I've gotta change
And if you've got the truth, I've gotta trade
And if you've got a feud, I've got a fade
My heart will wear you out
Yeah, my heart will wear you down
Yeah, my heart will wear you down

Great band, Boise, Idaho's finest.
Complaining seems to be the only thing I see you doing here... Take a moment and consider that is how this internet stranger sees you. Someone bitching/whinging about music. Not a good look bud.
This is an epic tune - great vocals, great guitars.

We can hear that their major influence was the great Neil Young,all the same,it’s enjoyable
Only problem I have with this band is that I did not discover them earlier. Thanks RP.

I check who this is everytime the opening guitar comes on. Solid 9 here. Anyone know the chords to the guitar riff?

Yes, love me a bit of Americana Rock.
Thanks Neil! - you spawned some cracking sounds.

Have you listened to their 1990's offerings? Perfect From Now On, Keep It Like A Secret? Soooooooo good. Still hoping Bill cracks the box open on BTS's earlier music!
WOW!
POWERFUL TUNE A 9 ON THE FIRST LISTEN!
Have I been living under a rock for 15 years ?
Why have I not heard "Built To Spill before ?
Thank you Radio Paradise!

A plus for the "similarities" comment, but come on. Neil has scores of albums, many with completely different styles. From Trans to Harvest Moon to The Blue Notes. That "wider range" comment is hokey.
I'm a big fan of Neil ( and fellow Winnipegger ) but this stands alone and is awesome!
I can see the similarities, but these guys have a wider range.

Such a GREAT heavy rockin' tune.
I turn it UP every time this rounds the bend. Excellent...
(And so sad to see comparisons to NY. Can't music stand on it's own, or do y'all have to compare everything to things you already know?)

Agreed. All respect to Neil, but Doug is a better guitar player. And, I'd argue a better lyricist. In other words, Doug is crazier.

Didn't give this one much thought when I first heard it... until it stuck in my head the rest of the week! Now I wait for it to air here each time, and give the proper amount of attention. A very interesting composition, that rocks at just the right moments.

Big Neil influence in the music, big Dali influence for the cover art.

I hope they come through town again! Already feels too long since I saw them. What a show! THREE SCREAMING LEAD GUITARS, loads of talent, wickedly good lyrics; solid wall of rock-jam sound. Their encore was a ripping cover of The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now"

Great jam.
Lots of " sounds like" comments which is not a bad thing. This one deserves a John Lennon mention too.
"...they call them markets, instead of towns, like how it sounds..."
This song is a mind blow live. Outstanding production in the studio on this one too. Bow down.

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

I have liked this since it came out, but this time, I really had this thing CRANKED and it felt just like I was at a Neil Young & Crazy Horse concert — I LOVE THAT FEELING! ROUSING, ROCKING MAX-JAM STUFF!

Way better for my ears than "Paps Bossman Skax"...
WAY BETTER!!!
..this tune was designed to make me slosh my coffee (or other beverage) jumping up to crank it up every time i hear it..it was Built To Spill that way, i suppose..

Hot DAMN this song is good!
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!
i like these guys

Bought this album based on the songs that I have heard here. Wow! If you like guitar based rock that has some different stuff going on (aside from the obvious comparison to Neal Young on this one) this album is awesome. Just about every song is as good as this one or better. Quite good.

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 
." 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.
