Nothing can decimate an album with Speed Trials, Big Nothing, Between the Bars, Angeles and Say Yes on it. Probably 5 of his top 20 songs there and the rest are only just behind.

Clementine isn't a major fave of mine but those are all good songs. The Biggest Lie, Needle and St Ides are my top 3 but they get owned by Angeles, Between and Say Yes for me

Baby Britain, Pitseleh and Waltz No 1 are my xo picks and again I'd say I prefer them



Basement is interesting because Memory Lane, King's Crossing and Twilight are right up there - part of me thinks they could be the strongest top three of the lot

"Nothing can decimate an album with Speed Trials, Big Nothing, Between the Bars, Angeles and Say Yes on it."



find a few of those overrated tbh. christian brothers, st ides heaven, alphabet town and coming up roses have got to be some of the best songs ever written tbh

I was hoping a relisten would push my rating up but it's still perched at a 3.7/3.8 sort of place between a 3.5 and a 4



The only time I really enjoy the album is before going to sleep, that's where it has a unique appeal



All the later Smith albums are great to take out and about. That listen heading home didn't really work

either/or is like the fourth best elliott. this is clearly number 1 imo.



5/5 tracks: christian brothers, clementine, coming up roses, alphabet town, st. ides heaven, white lady, the biggest lie



4.5/5 tracks: southern belle, single file, good to go



4/5 tracks: needle in the hay, satellite

I'm surprised a bit so many feel this is his best, I listened to the first half of Either/Or straight after and it just lifted me a level instantly. It's filled with classic juice

either/or just doesn't have the same emotion that this one has for me. yeah it's got a bunch of solid songs but man does this hit hard

All Elliott is good Elliott but I'm with Doof, Either/Or is his best.
