This is Elliott
I believe this album truely defines Elliott not only as a musician but, from what I understand, a person. This album is pure emotion. While it is fueled with anger and sadness, the songs fully explore these emotions. There is not a bad song on this album. I can see how someone, especially...

Elliott's suffering is our catharsis
I usually loath introspective singer-songwriters who play acoustic guitar and sing depressing songs, but Smith's music penetrates my shields and makes me weep for this man who draws a great amount of empathy from unknown parts of my psyche. I give this album 4/5 simply because I think his swan...

Vintage 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...

Lo-fi Wonder
I love Elliott Smith's work(Mostly his lo-fi stuff). I got this on vinyl, and it's amazing. Hearing his fingers shift on the guitar is such an amazing sound that you just don't get anymore. Powerful lyrics such as Needle In The Hay and Coming Up Roses really give yo something to awe over.

ES FanBoy
If dead men can have fan boys, I would be one. The album is amazing like everything hes written. This one does have a more distinct grungy? feel. It feels rougher to me than the others, don't know the words to describe that. The proceeds just go to his abusive father and his label, so do what...

Help. Why is this guy so highly regarded.
Despite what many folks might say, its a wonderful time to be a music fan. Given the informative power of the internet combined with the fact that a majority of worthy music finally has (and still is) making its way onto Compact Discs. We have the power to sample, pick and choose music from...

Desert island pick #1!
"Self-Titled" is without a doubt, Mr. Smith's finest hour. Many people feel that this recording is too sullen---but I think it is beautiful in a spiritual way. Elliott Smith was the most gifted songwriter of his generation. Upon first listen I was not as impressed as I was with Roman Candle &...

My favorite Elliott Smith album
Elliott Smith (R.I.P.) is my favorite artist of all time. I have found something in his music that I have not found anywhere else. This album (his second) without a doubt conveys that "something" the most.Some may say that this album is very depressing and melancholy but I believe that it conveys...

Absolutely wonderful...very deep.
I heard the name somewhere...where, I thought to myself, "Alex must listen to him." I thought I'd surprise her and learn the lyrics, so that we could sing the songs together in rush-hour of the busy grid locked traffic of Minneapolis when I visit her. On this whim I purchased the album and was...
