Album Review Either/Or Elliott Smith Folk Music Review Share this: Twitter Facebook Loading. Truly brilliant and heartbreaking at the same time. If this marks the first time you will hear songs like “Pictures Of Me”, “Rose Parade”, “Angeles” or “Between The Bars”… boy, you’d better brace yourself. Elliott Smith continues to inspire musicians even today nearly 15 years after his death and Either/Or stands as his seminal album and maybe the best album of the 1990’s. If you are a longtime fan, you will find plenty of reasons here to fall in love all over again with “Either/Or”.
Luckily, Crane kept the rough edges intact while at the same time making these gems shine even more. Heavily indebted to classic pop but still peppered with plenty of grit, these songs are easily some of the best Smith has ever written. All of the songs from the original have been carefully remastered from the original tapes under the supervision of Larry Crane, while the second disc features five live multi-track recordings from the Yo Yo A Go Go Festival in Olympia WA in 1997, as well as three previously unreleased studio recordings and one b-side track. To celebrate the 20 th anniversary of Elliott Smith’s beloved album “Either/Or”, Kill Rock Stars has released an expanded version of the 1997 classic.
