There's Nothing Wrong with Love is the second full-length album released by American indie rock band Built to Spill.There's Nothing Wrong with Love was recorded in May and June 1994, and released September 13, 1994, on the Up Records label. It was produced by Phil Ek. The songs "Car" and "Distopian Dream Girl" were released as singles. The video for "In the Morning" was featured on Beavis and Butt-head. Pitchfork ranked There's Nothing Wrong with Love No. 24 on its Top 100 Albums of the 90s list.[10] An unlisted final track is a satirical preview of the next Built to Spill album.
