Singer/songwriter Elliott Smith, dead at 34 from a knife wound to the chest. Tabloids will tell you that it was a suicide, but I say murder. I’ll spare you the details of the investigation because they are sketchy, at best.

Pretty weird album compared to his others. I still enjoyed it and thought there were some rlly amazing songs. Pretty ugly before, lets get lost, fond farewell, twilight are sick. Really depresing shit here. if you're lookin for an apology from me then you best check yo self fo you wreck yo self Dude, Godfather challenging me to a flame war? it really shows by the lenth of the review that this guy didn't really listen to the record this is a great cd and a great artist that deserves more then a weak ass review by a retard "Guy below me is a faggort." There's 1600 of them to 166 .'org Scrobbler members. And a good 100 of the '.org Scrobblers are also in the tateXgroup. jesse at absolute punk Attn. Jesse: this place was funnier when we were all 19 or so and had no respect for each other EVER. now we're all becoming mid 20's and gayer than gay. I made some sex with all of your Moms...and some of your Dads to. Cram all this feel good bullshit up your ass! this review is like my penis...short and insufficient Guy below me is a faggort. I just downloaded this the other day, but I'm too scared to listen to it because I don't see how it can compare to Either/Or. I bought this album last year, mainly out of respect for the guy. With the exception of perhaps "Son of Sam," none of his earlier songs had ever held my attention. Great album. Good score. Shitty review. Yup, add another artist to the list of those I'm not "with". omg i kan right better reveewz. you suckz "Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill "holy shit! Stuck on my shoe beautiful good record. first half is better than the last. 4 stars is pretty spot on. blah blah blah blah. anyone see bearvsshark at the beat kitchen? god i love that band. You all fucking suck. There. I said it. I want to shank someone in the eye, can I shank you in the eye? ANyone? Anyone? it's a good record, but, as alot of people have stated, not as good as Either/Or. You cannot beat that record. Hey Colin, I fucked your moms. "When you give 5 stars to "Frances The Mute" by the Mars Volta, all you have to do is stop writing music reviews" 1) either/or twilight is so great, it hurts. anyways, let's play rank the elliott smith albums: It would always have been hard to get an equally good review for this record, and obviously this one fails. Great guy. but, as i do love a majority of smith's discography, i will say that there are some extremely noteworthy tracks that rank up there with favorites such as "say yes", "needle in the hay" and "miss misery," most of which is "twilight", easily my favorite on the album and one of the most beautiful of his career. i've pooped better reviews than this. scores for that billy elliot movie that wasn't even a good fight Elliot Smith is one of the great songwriters of our time. This guy anchors 'd better shut the fuck up. holy shit! Better be flavored. Quick, somebody get the lube. Yo dude, it's cool, and everyone has to start somewhere. I look at the first few reviews I wrote and cringe, and hell, I look at some reviews I wrote 3 weeks ago and cringe. The more you write, the more comfortable you feel. sorry for accusing you anchors....i promise i won't bother you anymore unless provoked.....and that'd be cool if you wrote a review on another smith album....i'd suggest xo or either/or, but it's obviously your call I'm going to write a review for either 'Figure 8' or 'Either/Or,' haven't decided yet. I'm going to write a review for either 'Figure 8' or 'Either/Or,' haven't decided yet. Elvis still lives in Bermuda. Also, this is good, but like his other albums I've heard thus far (XO, Either/Or), all of the best material is in the first third-to-half. I tend to zone out when halftime passes, though "Twilight" and "Memory Lane" are definitely two of my favorites from this, along with the first four tracks and "A Fond Farewell." I think Elliott was murdered too. His girlfriend opened the bathroom door while they were fighting and he had a knife sticking out of his chest? Bullshit. And congratulations on figuring out how to compliment yourself anonymously: Anchors is right. Good job with that. godfather: you could of atleast highlighted a few songs. not a big gripe Anchors, it's obvious that I've gotten under your skin and your panties are still in a wad. It's the goddamn internet; get over it. I don't care how many reviews you've written for this site because one of em includes Mars Volta, in which you felt it deserved 5 stars....ugh. And congratulations on figuring out how to compliment yourself anonymously: Anchors is right. Good job with that. what bands are in the "punk rock spirit" nowadays.... all music is pop if people listen to it I'm glad Epitaph has Anti-, to maintain some sort of credibility, but this is not "in the punk rock spirit." This is pop music, fair and square. It's not very good, either. RP is above this, and that's completely fair and true. Elliott Smith was murdered by his girlfriend, no question about it. i'll agreee with anchors. this album is absolutely magnificent and does deserve a stronger review. Elvis is alive and working for the FBI. An album like this deserves a more thorough review. absolutely fucking oustanding amazing |
