"Built to Perform" is the second full-length album by American heavy metal band Phantom Blue. In contrast to the first album's glam metal sound, "Built to Perform" displays a more raw, heavy metal sound. It also features songwriting credits by all five of the band members plus former member Nicole Couch, who left prior to the album's release. The album includes the band's cover of Thin Lizzy's "Bad Reputation."

Veteran producer Max Norman oversaw the album's production, while Marty Friedman (who was then with Megadeth) and John Norum (of Europe) contributed as guest guitarists. Norum and guitarist Michelle Meldrum eventually married in 1995. [ [http://www.lastingtribute.co.uk/tribute/meldrum/2822006 Lasting Tribute - Michelle Meldrum] ]

Released by Geffen Records, this was the band's only album under a major record label. [ [http://www.phantomblue.com/sounds.htm Phantom Blue - Sounds] ]
