time for my yearly try at listening to and enjoying Elliott Smith but ultimately failing and saying 'oh well'

FaBotH > Roman Candle > ST = Either/Or > Figure 8 = XO

All very good, just my mood right now

That’s fair, he’s not for everyone. His sound changes a bit with certain albums though. Have you always tried the same one?

Changes all of the time but:

New Moon
Self Titled
Either/Or
Figure 8
XO
Roman Candle
From a Basement on the Hill

I usually try to go chronologically, but can only get a few songs into each record. I like alot of artists that cite him so I'm open to maybe one day I'll connect with something, but so far; nada. It just ends up washing over me.

Forgot New Moon, it would go between Either/Or and Figure 8

Is he fucking retarded? S/T and Figure 8 are both B-tier, the only S-tier album there is Either/Or.

I forget specifics but I remember thinking he was a fucking moron for his criticisms of Either/Or

Yeah, he might just not be for you. He definitely has a fuller and better produced sound in the later records if you made it that far though.

Faggot piece of shit subhuman spamming fucking Fantano threads fuck you I hope you get raped to death by a pack of wild niggers I hope there’s an accident and you lose both your hands so you can never post again I’m sick of this bald fat faggot on this board I don’t give a shit about what good album he rated poorly or what bad album he rated highly he’s a stupid fucking idiot we know that we’ve always known that but you retards come here every fucking hour of every fucking day saying “durr wait why fantano be dumb bald man not rate album how I rate album” why don’t you pull your head out of your ass do the world a favor and get a fucking shotgun and end your posting career early I’m sick of coming to Any Forums and seeing this subhuman and always the same fucking complaints about him just stop fucking posting him he’s not a musician and his videos aren’t even interesting just stop it I hope the skull is ripped out of your head and your brains are split in two and then they’re both put back and the process is repeated over and over I hope you live in abject misery I never want to see a thread about him again I hope your spine is split in half I hope your heart is clogged with cum I fucking hate these stupid fucking low quality threads we need a permanent ban on these threads so I want the mods to just fucking end this and I don’t even like them fuck off just do it stop posting yes we get it he’s a moron you’re the moron for posting him whether you like him or not you’re a fucking cancer cell killing this board eat my whole ass I’m sick and tired of you people being alive if theneedledrop were deleted off youtube this board would probably suck for a few weeks or so but then it would be so great as people realized he was never coming back I’m fucking begging you here please stop posting him stop posting about how you like and support him and stop posting about how you dislike or hate him just stop making threads about this shit

ive been going chronologically through his albums (for the past couple of years) and I feel like he peaked with the debut in terms of consistency. his strongest songs are on either/or, and the fuller arrangements of XO and figure 8 are a little too on-the-nose for me to enjoy. i haven't listened to his posthumous stuff tho

Roman Candle gets a S. The rest who cares

You’d probably like New Moon

You could easily have made this thread posting your own ranking, no need to post that bald retard
Oh, but it IS your ratings because you ARE the bald retard (or some beta orbiter)
Go back to r/Fantano4Ever and KYS

Already posted my ranking. I thought his ranking was awful and that it would create conversation. Take your fucking meds

Either Or top tier

I think the only reason I would rank Either/Or below anything else is because I’ve heard it too many times. At this point FABotH is a more exciting record to me just because it’s the one I’ve listened to the least

S/T = Either/Or > XO > Roman Candle > Figure 8 > Basement

That's fair, I could definitely say the same, that Either/Or is my most listened to and FABotH is my least. That said, Elliott doesn't really have a "bad" album, I just think most of them don't really hit that "classic" level. Individual songs sure, he's got tons of classics across everything.

I could see that. Personally I’d call Either/Or or the self titled classics though
