'speed trial' is so underrated. it's a perfect intro for an almost flawless album. the chord progression is weirdly uplifting (in a good sense) contrasting with a soul-crushing elliot's vocal performance. It's a honest and heartbreaking piece of music.

I wouldn't say it's underrated in general. I'd say it rules

i mean, tracks such as 'between the bars', 'alameda' and 'say yes' have way more recognition than speed trials. in that sense i'd say that it's a little bit underrated within the album context.

recently watched the documentary "searching for elliott smith" and I thought it was really insightful and heartbreaking



it's pretty low budget compared to the "heaven adores you" doc, but I felt like the interviews were far more informative and did a better job showing both sides of elliott smith. he was such a loving, funny, creative personality, but had so many demons & internal struggles..



must watch for elliott fans

this is the highest rated album in the database that isn't a classical music piece or a game/movie soundtrack that I haven't listened to or rated

at least check rust in peace for the fact that it has 4.6 avg and it's actually pretty decent even though thrash is cringe

i was unfamiliar with a lot of those dad-metal bands too for a long time until a couple years ago when I bit the bullet and finally checked out at least a little of all of their music. Iron Maiden is actually pretty decent but not something I'd ever want to listen to regularly. Judas Priest did nothing for me.

i feel like you have to have grown up with it. i missed out on a lot of essential kids movies that are very highly rated like home alone and have watched them as an adult and just couldn't get into them. i fear it will be the same experience with the dad rock stuff and don't want to waste my time.

Yeah that is basically how I knew it would go, but curiosity still got the better of me. This album was an absolute snoozer btw
