Built To Spill - "Conventional Wisdom"
Built To Spill - "Conventional Wisdom"
I don't care much for the music that comes out of the Pacific Northwest. Never have. And the latest from Built To Spill, You in Reverse, doesn't change that at all. I didn't expect it would. If Sleater-Kinney can't, no band will.
But this song (which in keeping with the overall bloat of these guys has three distinct movements), featuring magnificent J. Mascis-ian guitar swirls, gallops into your ears like the best Dinosaur Jr. song that Dinosaur Jr. forgot to write. And that's just the first 2:30. I say download it and pretend that it's a terrific 2:30 long song and not a 6:20 (over)long song.
