Pros: The songs, the talent, the man, simply great. Cons: Needs numerous listens to fully appreciate.
It is hard to start a review about a man that means so much to me. Elliott Smith is quite an artist, and as many may agree, his death was a shock and hard to handle. There are very few people today, comparable to the genius that is Elliott ...
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: 'Can't Make A Sound', 'I Better Be Quiet Now', 'Wouldn't Mama Be Proud?' Cons: None
TRACK-BY-TRACK REVIEW Son Of Sam [9/10] Quite possibly the most jaunty song ever written about a serial killer. The song is written from the point of view of Son Of Sam. So, a somewhat controversial start to the album, I think it's fair to say. ...
Pros: It's another Elliot Smith album. Cons: There really aren't any suprises.
Turn off your radio! If your local "modern rock" station is anything like mine, they're probably playing the latest piece of sh!t from Blink 182 or P.O.D. anyway. The reason you need to buy Figure 8, by Elliot Smith is that none of the songs on...
Pros: beautiful music, originality Cons: may seem a little depressing
When I first heard Elliott Smith I was amazed. Once I heard his single Son of Sam, I knew that I had to have this CD. Now, I can't stop listening to it. Each time that I listen to it, the music gets better. Smith doesn't use catchy pop tunes to sell...
Pros: Lush, dark, sad haunting music, with some more upbeat numbers thrown in Cons: none
I've long been a fan of Elliott Smith, preferring his early work, which was more stripped down, to his more lush arrangements. But Figure 8 completely won me over with the sheer beauty of the music. I had heard him perform "Happiness" in an early...
Pros: Lyrics, voice, piano, guitar. Cons: Some will compare his music too heavily with the Beatles.
Anyone new to Elliott Smith's music or those who have bonded with his music and spirit since his Heatmiser days will have no choice but to stop and do a double-take when the room fills with the music from his latest release, Figure 8.
Pros: good "listen to anytime" cd Cons: songs blend together
I heard about Elliott Smith through a friend who absolutely adores him. I happened upon "Figure 8" at a listening station at my local Border's. I listened to the first thirty seconds of each song and was hooked immediately. The CD has been...
Pros: I get a great feeling from listening to it, as if I'm having a good time. Not bogged down by intensity of lyrics or music, its light and easy Cons: it drags a little bit at the end, in fact the album could be a little shorter, make it more concise
I just recently heard Elliot smith for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and decided I would go out and get his album figure 8, because I heard some interesting tracks off of it, and thought it would be a worthy purchase.
Pros: Attention-getting Cons: Nothing I can think of
Elliott Smith is a man who has been around for approximately ten years, but his music is not known to much of the free world. In fact, several people I have asked have never heard of him. But all that is about to change...
Pros: Great pop/rock/folk album; good lyrics; great melodies and instrumentation Cons: Not everybody can appreciate this album.
Man what a great album. I just thought he'd be a slightly good indie folk rocker, but this album is amazing. For one thing, the lyrics themselves are great. I don't want to describe them as poetic and Dylan-esque, but that's what they come close to.
