Now I know you love the ultra lo fi, 7" that no one can afford to buy anymore. I know that as you matured you grew to accept John's use of a proper studio, given that is subject matter and overall cohesiveness(a word?) increased in the 2000-2007 years. But no matter what you like you know this is the begining of the vaguely conceptual phase and the end of the lo fi. Its got the charm, its got the poetry, its just downright fucking cool. Buy the fucking thing already.The Stooges Fun HouseThe Unicorns Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?4.5 superbAphex Twin Richard D. James AlbumBright Eyes Letting Off the HappinessCyndi Lauper She's So UnusualElliott Smith New MoonI will preface this review by saying I preordered this record. I love Elliott Smith's music so much it borders on fanboyish. Having said that I will try and make this as objective as I can. I gave this album a 4, it is a B sides/unreleased compilation and I gave it a 4. This alone makes you wonder about my bias attitude. I must say though that as this type of album goes, this one is great. To start, Angel in the snow is almost worth the price of the record. It is such a beautiful song, delicate and soft. A simple vocal/guitar setup, a not so simple progression. I am not going to go into the rest of the songs individually, I don't really have the time and I planned this to be a place holder for a real review by a real writer. I will say though that unreleased track albums are really for fans only. If you bought this or are even thinking about it then you probably own the rest of his records. This being the case then you are looking for more, as much as you can find because what is there is not enough. Well since thats what your looking for thats what you get, if these were the best tracks he ever recorded then they would have been on one of his albums, so take them for what they are. I dare say though that a borderline throwaway Elliott Smith track is far better than most of the singles being put out by other artists.Flipper Album – Generic FlipperGodspeed You!
