Built To Spill – Untrustable

Built To Spill is one of those critically acclaimed bands that everyone seems to love but they’ve never struck me as being either great or terrible. I’ve seen them live a handful of times and they certainly aren’t boring, but there’s something about them that’s never made me think “I really need to go out and grab their records.” I’m still waiting to be convinced otherwise. Regarding this video, I got it in a trade years ago, not long after it was originally shot and right after their major label debut. I’ve traded it with a handful of people, but I don’t believe it’s been widely circulated.

Built to Spill are totally great…right up until they launch into the 25-minute jam (not even for their final song, but right in the middle of the set). I’ve seen this happen at least twice. Insufferable. Doubt I’ll go to another of their shows.
Ugh, I hate the jam at the end, but the jam in the middle of the set, now that sounds awful!
