MOG Editorial Review

By the time they released Perfect From Now On in 1997, Built to Spill had already proven that they could add a heavy dose of guitars while keeping their catchy indie pop hooks in tact, but their best album pushed this idea as far as it could go. Though they'd also been on the heavier side of the indie rock fence, the band truly found its perfect sound when they threw traditional song structure out the window, and the result is sprawling tracks like the eight-minute "Velvet Waltz," songs that got its anxieties across from chaotic noise as much as it did clever lyrics. Still, though, Built to Spill kept their intimate core in tact, with Doug Martsch continuing to create phrases that stick with you regardless of whether they're buried over a loud, ambitious sound, and that's let this landmark hold up as well as it has.
AMG Review of Perfect from Now On

All Music Guide

Not many groups would take a major-label contract as a cue to put out an album where the shortest song is still a radio-unfriendly five minutes in length. For that listeners can thank their stars that Built to Spill isn't like many groups and Doug Martsch not like many artists. Perfect from Now On manages the amazing trick of being the band's best album to this point, Martsch and company using the opportunities for larger budgets and distribution to create an album at once inspiring and quietly emotional, not the easiest combination to pull off. With drummer Scott Plouf and bassist Brett Nelson as the other core performers, plus second guitarist Brett Netson and cellist John McMahon as key guests, the result is astounding all around. The length of the songs allows the band to create uniquely post-everything mantras, blending psych trances and drones, post-punk airiness and flow, and Martsch's affecting, tender singing and lyrics into a whole. Martsch's high tones and the guitar passion here helped fuel further comparisons to Neil Young -- to pick out one moment, consider the closing minutes of "I Would Hurt a Fly," feedback peeling out over the rhythm and strings -- but the Boise musician is his own man through and through. Selecting standout moments from such a solid disc almost defeats the purpose, but many examples still deserve further notice. "Stop the Show" builds to a dramatic, but not in the least bit hammy, shift from a roaring wash to a quick, clipped pace; Martsch's vocals and further sudden tempo switches are the icing on the cake. "Velvet Waltz" indeed plays at that musical pace, McMahon's playing and Martsch's heartbreaking, lovely lyrics and singing the core of a incredible song. "Untrustable/Part 2 (About Someone Else)" concludes a simply fantastic record.
