A Talented Singer-Songwriter
A great singer-songwriter that passed away but left some memorable music behind. A hint of the Beatles; his sweet,airy voice coupled with some great writing though dark reminds a bit of a new up-and-rising SS:Arrica Rose in her new album La La Lost. Take a listen.

The Swan Song of Elliott Smith
Emerging from the shadow of Kurt Cobain in the late 90's, Elliott Smith was perhaps the greatest singer songwriter of his generation. Smith's genius was his unabashedly honest, naked, poetic lyricism that was so beautifully complemented by his unpretentiousness acoustic guitar. Like none that...

Hits and Misses
Ballad of Big Nothing stands out as the best song on the album. Speed Trials, Cupid's Trick and Rose Parade are the others that gave the album some flavor. 2:45 AM musically is cool, but the lyrics didnt do anything for me. I felt the accoustic songs on XO were better.

Digging Deaper
Fans new to Elliot Smith should consider getting the more fully produced "XO" or Figure 8" as an introduction. If your looking to dig a little deaper, this CD will not disaapoint. Angeles, Cupid's Trick and Alameda are standout tracks, but the whole album has Elliot's hauntingly familiar, yet...

Like a fine wine
While this album will definitely grow on you, fans new to Elliot Smith should consider the more fully produced Dreamworks "XO" or "Figure 8" as an introduction. If you're looking to dig a little deeper, this CD will not disappoint. Like a fine wine, it get's better with age. Angeles, Alameda,...

a cd for teenagers
I purchased the cd because of the posted reviews. Those reviewers obviously liked the self centered, self indulgent, depressed, simplistic lyrics. It seemed to droan on and on for ever....It wasn't worth the time. Sorry---I'm over 30 and am not interested.

The Most Underappreciated Album of the 1990's?
Elliott Smith is kind of like Tom Petty, in that, he has songs that are not steller, but he does not have a single bad song. "Good Will Hunting," directed by Gus Van Sant in 1997, was a better than average movie that would launch the careers of two major stars and re-establish Robin Williams as...

Mr. Smith's Best.
I have owned this album for a few years. I always liked it, but I just didn't give it the time it deserved. When I bough XO earlier this year, I absolutely fell in love with Elliott Smith. I played that album a million times, as it was immediately accessible to me. I was convinced that it was...

Alamada, and pictures of me.
I didn't understand this album at first. I didn't understand why everyone liked Elliot Smith, and this was my first introduction and this is the best Elliot Smith album. I am so glad I kept it on my computer because about 6 months later I heard it again and listened to it again and again. Not...

The best of the best.
I can not praise this album any more than I already have to everyone, it's absolutely brilliant. And I truly believe thatcause it's very rare that I love an entire album, from start to finish. Either/Or is one of those them.The late Indie Icon, Elliott Smith is the most underrated musician I can...
