i know a 4.1 isn't underrated, but it still blows my mind how many albums are rated higher than this



i used to think this was one of his lesser albums but elliott was really pushing his sound to new heights here, and production wise it seems like he took what he learned doing XO and turned into something even more expansive & cohesive

Best sounding elliott album. Vox have more guts in the frequency range, less ghostly. Maybe my favourite

lowest point how? this was pretty well received and some of his best most successful live shows ever came from this figure 8 tour



I will say he definitely fell off the wagon and reached his lowest points shortly after that, but he was riding a high when this came out

His addiction was at its worst when he was recording and at points during the tours after this

Junk bond trader chord progression (same progression for everything except the bridge lol) is so fucking cool. The way the fsus quickly changes to the F then steps up to (i think the c#m) is so different. Elliott was the man.

Either/Or is your best starting point - probably his best album altogether.

I know this doesn’t make sense but I kinda take a weird amount of pride in the amount of essential artists I haven’t listened to.
