"This record is one of those very few that I can say is brilliant through and through. I tend to be put off by pop music, as it is so frequently flashy and fluffy, but it has no real depth. "Are You Building..." is the exception to that. There's a melancholy feel to the record, despite all of its pep. Musically, it is fairly simple and straight forward, but it is perfection itself in terms of its songwriting and musicianship. I've studied the album trying to find even a spot where the guitar is off a bit or the drums miss a beat. I can't find one. Hands down, this is one of the best pop albums in the last few decades. Unfortunately, other Butterglory albums didn't seem to measure up to this one, so beware before you just purchase their other releases."
