So? XO is just as much a pop album. That's pretty shit logic anyway.

well, due to your heated debate i will also be downloading the entire XO album as well as FABOTH and FIGURE 8. I will listen to them all as soon as possible so i can relay my feedback!
EDIT: LOL, i couldnt find the album entitled "FABOTH". it took me a while to realize that it was an acronym |
Have fun.

Baby Britain is just as upbeat as Son of Sam and more upbeat than LA.

L.A.: the gentleman's in the lane spinning his hat on a cane stepping out, out for a change good morning all, it's a beautiful day the general's winning the war that seems suicidal before you came along now i'll protect you as long as you'll stay la morning had to come, i'd be walking in the sun living in the day but last night i was about to throw it all away if patience started a band i'd be her biggest fan look at me, i'm talking to you i don't want the lead in your play the star's just a part of the scene, the gentleman in green paying off out on the street i can't go home, it's not on my way la things i've never done, cars parked in the sun living in the day but last night i was about to throw it all away last night i was about to throw it all away Baby Britain: baby britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka separated from the rest fights problems with bigger problems sees the ocean fall and rise counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her water pouring from her eyes alcoholic and very bitter for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart and i can't help until you start we knocked another couple back the dead soldiers lined up on the table still prepared for an attack they didn't know they'd been disabled felt a wave a rush of blood you won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken and you're out swimming in the flood you kept back you kept unspoken for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart and i can't help until you start you got a look in your eye when you're saying goodbye like you wanna say hi the light was on but it was dim revolver's been turned over and now it's ready once again the radio was playing "crimson and clover" london bridge is safe and sound no matter what you keep repeating nothing's gonna drag me down to a death that's not worth cheating for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart and i can't help until you start for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart |
Upbeat has nothing to do with the lyrics, it has to do with the music.

well than L.A. hands down

I'm really late on this one but...

XO as a whole is much better than Figure 8. The music, the message.. everything. I still can't get over the feeling that Figure 8 is totally impersonal, and has nowhere near the amout of genius that Elliott has exhibited in prevous albums. For me its.. Either/Or > XO > Elliott Smith > From A Basement > Figure 8 > Roman Candle |
well i have officially listened to his self titled album and its pretty good. its very mellow for the most part. if pot wasnt illegal i would definitely toke up while listening to it.
