Free Music Notes for From a Basement on the Hill
Free Music Review: Descent album
Hit: 4 Stars
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. Free Music Review: ....a genius taken too soon.
Hit: 4 Stars
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.

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.Free Music Review: The could have beens.

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.Free Music Review: Only a couple of worthy songs on it
Hit: 3 Stars
My apologies to all you die hard Elliot Smith fans. I'm a newbie and only liked a couple tracks. He's worth checking out though.
