I’m never gonna know you now but I’m gonna love you anyhow

Bottle up and explode over and over
Keep the troublemaker below
Put it away and check out for the day
In for a round of overexposure
The thing mother nature provides
To get up and go
Bottle up and explode, seeing stars surrounding you
Red white and blue


You look at him like you've never known him
But I know for a fact that you have
The last time you cried
Who'd you think was inside?

I got static in my head
The reflected sound of everything
Tried to go to where it led
But it didn't lead to anything
The noise is coming out, and if it's not out now
I know it's just about to drown tomorrow out

Holy shit this is one of the best indie pop albums ive ever heard

Album Rating: 5.0

Such a banger. Indie pop chamber folk with the sadness? Maybe

pretty good but definitely lost a lot of the magic of the first three imo.

Album Rating: 4.0

It's got plenty of classic tracks, but i've never loved it as much as a whole compared to the first three either.



I feel like elliott utilizes the grander production well on some tracks but some end up sounding a little bit more sterile than i'd like, and overall I could do without tracks like question mark & amity.

This is his transition album imo. I think he perfected this style of songwriting on Figure 8.

Well I think Figure 8 is a step up from this, and "From a Basement On The Hill" is probably my favorite album of his.



I seem to be in the minority on Basement though, I just feel even with it's flaws/unfinished state he pushes his songwriting to levels he never reached before, while simultaneously recapturing some of that more personal lo-fi charm from the first three albums. The b-sides from that album are incredible too.

Not a unique observation in any way but Waltz #2 is just painfully, brutally sad, probably his saddest song, how is it possible to write something so heartbreaking?
