 The Guide -- Built to Spill Live Album Delivers Lyrical Rock
Titled simply, Live, Built to Spill's new album is spectacular in that it demonstrates how quality the band's live performances are, specifically in the sense that they are so good at reproducing studio-caliber sound.
The way Built to Spill tame and interweave their guitar noise with rising and crashing drums (as on "Randy Described Eternity" and "Stop The Show") is truly something to behold, and then they have the gall to lay really insightful vocals over the top.
Live certainly deserves to rank among their best, for it continues the trend of achingly beautiful tunes.

 Built to Spill: Live | Apr 21, 2000
I don't know about you, but when I think of Live, I think of an alterna-teen schlock band whose Billboard triumph was a perverse song about giving birth—a symbolic reminder, if you will, for the indie-ustry to stay as far from live as possible.

 Built to Spill
The first time I heard Built to Spill, I was 16, riding in the backseat of a car belonging to my small town's big-time weed dealer, and we had smoked enough high-quality ganja to paralyze an elephant, out of a bong as big as Delaware, no less.
I've been a Built to Spill fan from that point on, and they remain a high frequency selection on my play list to this day.

Idaho indie gods Built to Spill get to showcase their various stylistic leanings on their new release, the unimaginatively titled live album Live.

If Built to Spill's live music is this incredible, I can't wait until I buy some of their studio work, but part of me worries that the sound may not have the same edge I've come to expect from their CD, "Live".
Of course, there is more to Built to Spill then Martsch's vocals and lead guitar work; You've got Scott Plout on the skins, Brett Nelson on bass and occasional guitar work, Jim Roth on yet another guitar, and some keyboard work by Sam Coomes.
As far as being a "live" recording, there is minimal crowd noise, just at the beginning and ending of the songs.

Built To Spill has developed quite a deserved following, confirmed by last year's impressive "Keep It Like a Secret".
A roiling, guitar-driven storm drenched in lyrical heartbreak, Spill may just breathe life into the otherwise comatose body of rock.
Perhaps to keep the band itself less of a secret, their newest is a live disc, recorded at various stops on their 1999 tour.

Built To Spill is a band that strongly differs in its live and recorded incarnations.
In the live setting, the band elongates the songs and gives Martsch a more direct outlet for his guitar hero leanings.
It is impossible to say how captivating Built To Spill is in the moment, when Doug actually wrangles those verbose statements from his Fender.

 Built To Spill - PopMatters Concert Review
That's not something that many fans of Doug Martsch's hypnotic, complicated arrangements might say when they experience them on Built To Spill's studio recordings, including the seminal Perfect From Now On, the more approachable Keep It Like a Secret, or their newest Ancient Melodies of the Future, due out July 10.
I figured he was needling the group because their previous release -- a live album with the redundantly unassuming title, Live -- featured guitar solos the likes of which I haven't heard in length and breadth since Led Zeppelin's live collection, The Song Remains the Same.
You've got to be a massive fan of both Built To Spill and the tendencies of guitarists to explore their instruments at length -- until they simply quit because there's nothing left to explore -- to sit through Live in its entirety.

Built to Spill may be on a major label, but its linchpin, front man Doug Martsch, still writes all song parts himself and has a large hand in every album's production from start to finish.
This is my first Built to Spill experience and I found this album to be fantastic.

 Weedbus 13: Built To Spill
Since Doug Martsch left the Treepeople in 1992 to develop his own project Built To Spill, he has been the creative force behind some of the finest melodic guitar music to come out of America this decade.
Built to Spill first came to our attention in 1995 when their second full length album "There's Nothing Wrong With Love" was released in the UK, supported by two fine attention grabbing singles 'Car and 'In The Morning', and a bizarre mismatched tour with the Foo Fighters.
After I recorded the first Built to Spill record ('Ultimate Alternative Wavers') I sent him a copy cos I knew he wasn't into the Treepeople but it thought he might like BTS, and also to see if we could get together.

 Review: Built To Spill 'Live'
To compare Built To Spill’s use of guitar to Television’s Verlaine and Lloyd, or Renaldo and Moore during their heyday, is not heresy.
Further impressive is Built To Spill’s willingness to break from the AABA structure, given their strong ties to pop euphoria.
I stumbled across Built to Spill's version of "Cortez" on the radio a few weeks ago (WFMU, natch) and I agree with you--it sounded cool, but they really didn't do anything with it that Neil and the Horse haven't already done.

 CD Reviews: Glassjaw, Built to Spill, Pat McGee Band (NY Rock)
I've heard a lot about Built to Spill over the years, but somehow, never really enough to make me want to check them out.
I had assumed I was in for yet another whiney, indie-rock band left over from the whiney, indie-rock heyday of the mid-nineties, but instead I heard a band with a menacingly dark sound and penchant for "jamming" that kinda grows on you.
Live presents a pretty decent hodge-podge of styles and sounds and it's a good introduction to Built to Spill's work, but probably only a must-have for die-hard fans of the band.

 Loose Record :: So You Know What You're Missing ::
It was to my overwhelming delight that I had the chance to speak briefly with Built To Spill’s Doug Martsch during his West Coast tour about this aspect of their music and a few other things.
After all, the Built To Spill live album was met with much enthusiasm from their fans.
One aspect of this band that intrigues me is that when you hear a song of theirs, say randomly from a jukebox, you immediately know it’s Built To Spill, due to their unique sound.

Before the highly anticipated Built to Spill show here in Bellingham, one of my friends and co-workers pointed out that when Doug Martsch performs, a small pool of sweat forms on his belly and slowly widens as he gets more intense.
Built to Spill proved both why they're legendary and why they're still relevant.
If Built to Spill had come out for an encore, the show would have felt complete; at the night's end, a crowd stayed and chanted for the group’s return for about ten minutes, but to no avail.

Built to Spill - Live: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more
In fact, Live [+]'s defining performance is a 20-minute cover of Young's "Cortez the Killer," on which Doug Martsch [+]'s vocal and guitar work bear an amazingly accurate similarity to Young, almost to the point of flat-out imitation.
Yet somehow, the performance doesn't feel derivative -- it seems more like Martsch is staking out long-coveted territory and one-upping his way into something very much his own, making the expanded length of the already epic song absolutely necessary.
