Agreed best Elliott but disagreed by a lot. Either/Or is almost as good

yes agreed

top 6 hrmmm:

certainly for me at least st ides heaven and christian brothers. satellite (love the noir touch of that chord progression), clementine, the white lady loves you more, the biggest lie? though I'd swiftly rank single file and coming up roses (sequential!) below needle in the hay. but still with that kind of "chopsticks" motif I find needle in the hay hard to love

Needle In The Hay is for sure mid tier on here. Tracks 8-12 are prob my favorite run of songs on any Elliott album

Very hard discog to rank tbh, the only album I find substantially better than any other is Either/Or.

I think XO is second to E/O, and that he super-duper came into his own with E/O even if I'm not as familiar with the post-XO material (need to fix)

You definitely should, because I think Figure 8 is his best album. It takes the style that he started on XO and perfects it imo.

Figure 8 > Either/Or > selfie > Roman Candle > XO = Basement on the Hill

I love two songs from F8 (somebody that I used to know and happiness) so yea, about time I really sat down with it

Nowhere near enough love for Alphabet Town, which is top 3 alongside St. Ides and Christian Brothers.

XO has Amity on it though which is easily the worst song he ever made
