Summary: Like peeling an onion
Comment: Think Twilight and you begin to understand the Elliot Smith sound. As a fan moving from Beatles, 70's Art Rock, The Cure and Grunge, Elliot came as a pleasant surprise and I hear elements of all those in his music. His sound is hauntingly familiar, yet sweetly original. This is a great album, full of variety. My favorites change as I listen to it. Like peeling an onion, the deeper I go the more I find and it almost makes me cry.

Summary: Descent album
Comment: I am an intermittent fan. I have to really be down in the dumps--trying to have a pity party to finish an album. Sorry RIP, I love the songs, just not all the time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: ....a genius taken too soon.
Comment: This is a haunting collection from a true song writing genius. We will never know what he intended for these songs, as the debate about that will live on. We can be thankful for what he gave all of us.

Summary: So good
Comment: There's something different about Elliott Smith's music and I think I figured out what it is. Most songs on the radio have pretty simple tunes and I find I usually can start anticipating the tune and humming along the first time I hear it. But with Elliott's songs I think the melodies are much more complex so they take a few listens to get used to. But once you do, they are amazing! Every album of his I've listened to so far has been the same story. The first time through I feel underwhelmed--like I'm not sure what I just listened to. After about the third time through I really start to catch on and then each subsequent listen just keeps getting better and better. I love almost every song on this album now! So for those of you who think you don't care much for his music, please give it a few listens before you make up your mind. Maybe the reason he's not as popular as he should be is people don't take the time necessary to really absorb his music. Elliott was a genius and I hope someday he'll get the recognition he deserves.

Summary: The could have beens.
Comment: Too long for starters..but perhaps it was a the WHITE ALBUM for him writ small. Twilight was easily the best song on the cd. You could see him finally progressing with his fuller arrangements. Kind of where he left off with the "figure eight" cd, but yet re-instilling what he had going for him in either/or and xo. "Shooting Star" and "Fond Farewell" are certainly keepers. Again, had they pruned off a couple tracks, it may have been his best effort up to date.

Editorial Reviews:

Posthumous releases fall into two categories: those which the artist was working on at the time of their death, and those which are gathered from every nook and cranny to keep fans enthused and cash registers ringing. Elliott Smith's from a basement on the hill is of the former variety. It was close to completion at the time of his untimely death. Over the course of the set's 15 songs, Smith's powerful songwriting and production skills are shown in their full breadth. From thickly interlocked chordal guitar riffs ("Coast to Coast") to shimmering melancholia ("A Fond Farewell"), the songs are each brought to their own particular focus by whatever means were most appropriate. There are lush background vocals, keyboard washes, pounding rhythms, and heart rending balladry. This disc is a sad goodbye to richly emotive artist. --David Greenberger
