VIMTV Album Review #406: Built To Spill – Perfect From Now On

Jake: 89/100

Tom: 87/100

Verdict: Highly recommended for fans of today’s indie scene.

Overview: Perfect From Now On has earned a place in the indie-rock canon (despite being on a major label) since its release in 1997. Its flowing and complex structures make it a unique gem in the world of 3-minute pop songs, and yet maintains a catchy allure that is hard to deny. The eight tracks on this record take the listener everywhere, and its a ride that fans modern indie rock should take if they want to know their roots.
