Built to Spill: There's Nothing Wrong with Love

This is PROBABLY my favorite Built to Spill album. It comes from a time where Doug Martsch didn't overdub his voice on every song, which is especially refreshing. It gives it more of a live and unhinged/spontaneous feel. This album has a little bit more of a Pavement style production value to it, which is probably why I like this album the best. They have a great poppy/clean sound, but honestly, this rough edged recording served this style of music best. His lyrics go from quirky, witty and tongue-and-cheek silly to brilliant and melancholy. Keep It Like a Secret probably has the majority of my favorite songs from BTS, but production adds a lot to the feel of an album and this album has, by far, the most interesting production. If anyone is keeping count I only have a few more BTS albums to go. I'll probably post the rest all at once, but THIS ONE definitely deserves its own post. So, just to review MUST OWN BTS ALBUMS are- There's Nothing Wrong With Love, Keep It Like a Secret, and Perfect From Now On. Probably in that order....probably. I dunno, just go download them all... For anyone new they are all on this site, just go back to older posts. 
This is in 320 kbps, which is why it's in two parts.
