Built to Spill
You In Reverse
(Warner Bros.)
Doug Marsch and friends kind of just disappeared for about 5 years, maybe justifiably, after their overproduced flop, Ancient Melodies of the Future. Rather then reprise their entire back catalogue like every indie critic seemingly wants, we get the Idaho boys coming out of the gate with guns blazing and maybe their best song ever, “Goin’ Against Your Mind”. You In Reverse furthers their gritty, jammed out blues and, of course, Neil Young-indebted sound, bringing back the glassy eyed slackerisms that have unfortunately disappeared from college rock.

I really love this album. They put on a great show out here in Missouri this last fall. But, Don't forget about Doug's darn fine 2002 solo album "Now you know"...so his absense has only been 4 years long...thats a minor technicality.
Also, you went to Wake? Me too. You must know Ginder...from Wake radio.
