You might think these considerations would bring a modicum of contentment to Elliott Smith on his fifth solo album, Figure 8. But you’d be underestimating the exquisite purity and commitment behind his perpetual bummer. No mere improvement in personal fortunes will change Smith’s bargain with listeners: to provide ruthless, sad-eyed insight swathed in melodies that the Beatles would not disown. Figure 8, produced by Smith with Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf (Foo Fighters, Beck), sequesters Smith with handmade sounds that last appeared no more recently than the 1960s. There’s another big crescendo in the album’s grand finale, Can’t Make a Sound, an anthem of isolation in which Smith wonders, Why should you want any other when you’re a world within a world? He finds no peace in his solitude, but he’s convinced that anything else might be worse. In This Article: Elliott Smith.
Judging only by his earlier, bare-bones indie-label albums, it seemed highly unlikely that Elliott Smith would turn into the ambitious arranger and studio craftsman of his lushly textured Dreamworks debut, XO. A big part of that shift, of course, was the fact that Smith had major-label finances and equipment to work with for the first time; this allowed him to fuse his melancholy, slightly punky folk with the rich sonics of pop artists like the Beatles and Beach Boys.

in my opinion, Elliott's best album. the first listen is nice but almost forgettable, but as great music does, Figure 8 just keeps getting better. 2 of 2 users found this helpful. I've had this album for over a year now and I've been listening to it constantly since. This album was my first E. Smith album and it encouraged me to get all his other stuff. I can listen to this whole album and not want to skip a single song. Do yourself a favor and GET THIS ALBUM. xpand. 0 of 0 users found this helpful.
