it's good.
but perhaps i need to listen to it more to appreciate it.

that's usually how things go.

XO is a good album but not a good introduction to Elliott's music. Songs like Baby Britan are good but i perfer when it's just Elliott playing guitar and maybe some drums. If your new to Elliott Smith's music i get Either/Or or his selftitled album

Either/Or is definitely his best album, I can't get into his later stuff.

I think Bled White can be a good intro.

I listened to it a lot before I considered it my favourite. From a Basement was actually my favourite for a long time.

well, i don't know.
i hadn't gotten into elliott until like, last month.

so, i'm still just seeing.

you're in for a wild ride hah.

Elliott had a fabulous mind and his lyrics portrayed it nicely. "Either/Or" is just so splendidly done that it is really hard to match. Smith, in my opinion was the greatest song-writer of all time along with:

-Nick Drake
-Alexi Murdoch
-Lou Reed

I think many of us have been touched in some way by Smith's lyrical savvy. I know I have!

cocaine white · 12-04-2007, 06:22 PM

hah. that's what i assume.

but, that's okay.
can't keep listening to bright eyes for the rest of my life, eh?

Nice username, Nick Drake is great.
