first.... are there any fans of built to spill on this forum.? and if so what is your take on the latest album "there is no enemy"? i am liking this more and more. i am starting to believe that this is their finest hour. i used to think "keep it like a secret" was there best but not anymore. "there is no enemy" is a masterpiece in my eyes. a truly well constructed album. if you havent listen to it ... you should. it is a little dark and slow guitar driven songs... but if that is what you like... you will love this.

    I agree, this is a great album from the first song to the last. Each of their albums is a unique sound and very different from the one before, but There Is No Enemy is definitely my favorite. I caught them this past year at Outside Lands Festival and they are definitely worth listening to if you haven't before. They even got a thumbs up and shout out from Ed at the festival who acknowledged them during Pearl Jam's set.

    👋
    loved them for a long time. I saw them in NY a bunch between 97-03. Great live band

    70 tour dates announced as well. They are playing a half hour from me. Going to have to hit that one 
  • CarryTheZeroCarryTheZero Posts: 2,979
    Wow! 70 dates is huge. May hit up the Atlanta show in May.
  • pledgeagrievancepledgeagrievance Posts: 2,861
    Man the show near me disappeared? No longer playing Asbury. 
    Jason Isbell is now playing that venue and date. Weird

    The new material will be interesting, being back down to a 3 member band and all.

    Yeah, wish he would bring an extra guitar to fill out the sound.
