 Great Album April 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This maybe my favorite Elliott Smith album next to Either/Or. I would purchase this album with Either/Or if I were just getting into Elliott Smith. It is a very chill album to listen to while driving at night, doing homework, or going to sleep. Elliott's acoustic guitar playing and lyrics are very well arranged. Give it a glance.

i bought this cd completely on a whim at a local cd store. it took a few listens for certain songs to really sink in, but now i absolutely love it. No Name #3 and Condor Avenue are worth the price tag alone
 A glimpse inside the audio diary of Elliot Smith March 5, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This unpretentious cd is sparse and mysterious as was the late recording artist himself, who died under mysterious circumstances shortly after receiving critical acclaim. I think it is the best representation of Smith, who has other more polished cd's that seem to have somehow missed his essence. This one seems to have been recorded early on, low-fi in a basement or bedroom, and lets you get up close to him without studio intervention. There are many tracks that don't even have bass or drums, just guitars and voice. The tunes are haunting and insecure, but will soon get right under your skin. This is no high-gloss commercial venture, but more like a glimpse inside somebody's audio diary.
Smith's Genius July 9, 2006

Elliot Smith has never written anything but beautiful, listenable music and this first release is no exception. His fan base should only grow. He was a genius.
elliott's best? June 2, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As someone who owns all of Elliott Smith's albums, this album has become easily my favourite. I love all his albums, including his dreamworks albums, but this album still stands out to me as the best. I find it hard not to draw comparisons with Nick Drake's Pink Moon, which achieved a sense of intimacy and melancholy that did not exist to such a degree on his earlier more produced albums. When people say the production on this album is poor, do not expect a grainy sound or inaudible vocals. The production creates an extremely sparse sound that complements Smith's haunting, fragile voice perfectly. As you listen to this album, the amazing interplay between the vocals and unique guitar melodies on each track emerges. This, combined with the albums short (30 minute) length, results in an album without filler that never loses your attention. I think this will remembered in a similar way to Nick Drake's Pink Moon - as the masterpiece of his tragically short career.
