Wonderful acoustic music, it's a shame that he's gone

This album proves that in the world magic CAN happen, as long as you ignore the sad and distressing consequence that stems from it. Even in its happiest moments, this electro-acoustic ballet has a melancholy-like wrapping on it due its sense of desperation, isolation and emotion put in directly by Elliott Smith himself. This album proves that not only can magic exist, but it can also be beautiful.

"XO" is Elliott Smith venturing into Pop and the mainstream, without leaving its origins aside nor the question of Folk that has always put him as the greatest musician of his generation. By making that decision, much was said, much criticism and contempt fell on him for trying to reach other audiences. But what happened is that he did it with mastery, showing the world again who he is. It is the reflection, that any alternative that he was to venture, would be another option of masterpiece within our playlists.

Far and away Elliott Smith's least depressing record, XO incorporates elements of baroque pop to huge success. It's also perfectly structured, every track from the opener "Sweet Adeline" to the epic penultimate "Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands" fits snugly into the overall musical experience.

This is actually my favorite Elliott Smith record. It is somber but accurately joyful, with a hint of depressing lyrics.

Classic pop album that fuses so many of his earlier and later works together.

This is argueably Elliott Smith's best album. For me, it's hard to decide between this one and Either/Or. This album is great. There are only a few songs on here that I don't really really like. Sweet Adeline is one of the best songs to lead an album off that I've ever heard and Waltz #2 and Bled White are also amazing. This album deserves a 4.5, it's not a classic in my book, but it sure is close.

Easily Smith's best album. Superb compositions and brilliant lyrics line this piece. Elliott really breaks out and makes a name for himself with XO
