Hi all, I'm from 1963 and live in Belgium and have been following music a long time. I have gone through many musical stages like the Beatles, Metal, classic guitar rock, punk music, Indie, Grunge etc but the main focus is still on guitar music: favourite bands are of course the Beatles, but also The Kinks, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Husker Du, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, dEUS, Metallica, Guided by Voices, Sonic Youth, ...

Dirk Hanssens's Album Reviews

This is the 86th album of a thread of album reviews in which I'd like to guide you through my personal musical history based on my top100 Album list you can find in my profile: the previous album in the thread was "Under the Bushes Under the Stars" by Guided by Voices.

Built to Spill is a bit between a pure indie band and Crazy Horse because of its guitar riffing. The have issued a string of good albums of which this one is the best.

There are 3 songs of this album in my personal songs top 1000 and three more on other albums:
- The Plan (this album)
- Sidewalk (this album)
- Broken Chairs (this album)
- Cortez the Killer (Live)
- Tomorrow (There is no Enemy)
- Goin' Against your Mind (You in Reverse)

Next album in this thread: "Billy Breathes" by Phish.
