Oh, and:
XO>FABOTH>Either Or>Roman Candle>Elliott Smith>Figure 8. I don't really like Figure 8 much, maybe it deserves another listen.

yeh that's what i'm saying. The song is great and revealing. But it's not as personal as him playing a guitar with him singing like he's playing just for you. Roman Candle gives you hat.

I wanna' hat! Anyway having bad production doesn't make something raw. King's Crossing is pretty clearly putting his emotions on display.

Um yeh it does. And i still don't get King's Crossing. :\

Uh, no it doesn't. So I guess lo-fi is the rawest you can get (I suppose it is, in a literal sense). What don't you like about it?

well i have now listened to: Elliott Smith, XO, FABOTH, and Figure 8. I didnt dislike any of albums but figure 8 just didnt do anything for me. some of this is just a little too depressing for my taste. it is very evident that he had some demons he was dealing.

for me its:
XO>Elliott Smith>FABOTH>Figure 8....and eventually i will check out 'Roman Candle' and 'either or'
