- Review of "the normal years" by Built to Spill

I think its a great album. If you like earlier Pavement and Modest Mouse and Sebadoh and the like (melodic indie guitar rock) then i think you'll love it..... Terrible/Perfect, joyride,some things last a long time and whatever ****.... are incredible songs..

This is OK. It has some good stuff, some interesting stuff, and stuff that should have been left on the cutting room floor. I'd say only BTS die-hards should buy it. It's not bad, but it's not top-quality.

- Buried Treasure

As someone who was big into "alternative" music in the 90s, I'm damn shamed to have missed out on this buried treasure. I only recently heard of the band and half-liked most of their music. Then I heard the song "Car" on the radio and it just took me back - time machine style - to that mid-90s era. The song felt so raw and pure and good. At the time I didn't know it was from this classic album, but was very surprised to later find that it was from an album that was 14 years old - which explained everything about the sound.

The whole album sounds great. It captures that elusive feeling of a band that's not affected, not trying to be something else or someone else or capture a defined sound. This is the sound that others are trying to capture.

Of their catalog, this is by far the most genuine album. Give it a shot.

This CD covers the period before BtS' 'There's Nothing Wrong With Love', one of the best indie-albums of the nineties. Here are two earlier versions of 'Car' and 'Some', songs that are better on the later album, but still worth it.

The level of the album is not that high compared to the albums that would follow, but it has it moments, mostly in the brilliant Doug-and-a-Guitar songs 'Girl' and 'Joyride', certain BtS classics/
