Pros: beautiful sparse genius.
Cons: none.
you drink yourself into slo-mo made an angel in the snow; do anything to pass the time, and keep that song out of your mind... Released while Elliott Smith was still doing time as co-leader of the Portland rock band, Heatmiser, Elliott ...

Pros: Brilliant musically and lyrically.
Cons: Needle in the Hay is the only standout song.
When Elliott Smith released his self-titled album, his sophomore album, it did not receive nearly as much acclaim as its successor, E
ither/Or.
His first three CDs were all heavily acoustic, and of the three, ...

Pros: Simply beautiful.
Cons: I'll never get to see him live.
If you aren't familiar with Elliott Smith's music, man are you missing out! I guess if you had to classify him, he would be some kind of acoustic rock or something like that. My friends and I like to call his style "sad bastard rock." I'll admit I ...

Pros: Stark, emotionally direct, minimal recording cuts close to the bone.
Cons: So good that "Needle in the Hay" is still shouted at every ES concert.

Pros: Elliott Smith is able to say so much with just his voice and his guitar.
Cons: This isn't anything groundbreaking, it is very simple. (Pro also)
I'm a big Elliott Smith fan, and while I think all of his albums are amazing, this self titled effort is my favorite. Elliott Smith is still his most solid record, there isn't a bad song anywhere on the almost 38 minutes. His songwriting is at...
