	Elliott Smith: From a Basement on the Hill - PopMatters Music Review
		Smith was for real: for better (or ultimately, for worse) he lived the life of his songs, which always tried to exorcise demons that simply could not be controlled.
		Smith's hope is now found in retreat, in learning how to disappear: the hope of one more high ("one more little one"), of a "passing feeling", the release that can only be promised from a total dissolve of self.
		Smith's fond farewell is a resolution in art to an unresolved dilemma in life; it may not tell you exactly what you want to hear, but it speaks an undiluted truth about how inconsequential a consequential person can feel.

	Elliott Smith Album Reviews
		Elsewhere, Smith doubles up his voice or his guitar parts (I’m pretty sure he’s the only one who plays on the album), and even occasionally adds percussion (mixed back though it is) or electric guitar, though the intense “Last Call” is the only song here that could possibly be called rocking.
		Smith’s music fits most circumstances but is best for cozying up to during lonely times, ‘cause no matter how stuck in a rut you are this guy’s got it worse (“I hope you’re not waiting around for me, ‘cause I’m not going anywhere, obviously”).
		Once again Smith’s songs are populated by perpetual losers at love, and he’s alternately accusatory (“I had tender feelings that you made hard”), accepting (“all I want now is happiness for you and me”), and self-pitying (“I couldn’t think of a thing that I hope tomorrow brings”).

	Elliott Smith - Biography - AOL Music
		Folk-punk singer/songwriter Elliott Smith rose from indie obscurity to mainstream success in 1997 on the strength of "Miss Misery," his Academy Award-nominated song from the film Good Will Hunting.
		Smith also composed a handful of new songs for the soundtrack, among them "Miss Misery," and when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its Oscar nominations the following February, the track was a surprise entry in the Best Original Song category.
		Although he did not win, Smith performed the song live at the televised Oscar broadcast, appearing on-stage alongside superstars Trisha Yearwood and eventual award-winner Celine Dion in one of the most notably surreal musical moments in recent memory.

	Elliott Smith, 1969-2003 - Salon
		Smith's battles with alcohol and drugs had never been much of a secret.
		Smith's sweet voice, layered lyrics and rich guitar melodies somehow made his listeners -- including those in the concert hall where I saw him play last fall -- take these problems less seriously than perhaps we should have.
		I have friends who ran across Smith in various clubs around L.A. They were always amazed at how approachable and friendly he was, but it's not a stretch to say anyone who cared about his music felt like they knew him, just a little bit.

		Those albums, by the way, were Roman Candle ('94), his brilliant Kill Rock Stars debut Elliott Smith ('95), and Either/Or ('97), the last of which featured a couple of songs that appeared on the soundtrack.
		The movie's success got Smith noticed in a big way, and earned him a deal with Dreamworks Records, which released his next two albums, XO ('98) and Figure 8 (2000).
		Those two records saw Smith move away from the extraordinarily intimate, stark fare of his previous releases and towards something cleaner, glossier, better produced, and more pop-oriented, but on the albums, his prodigious songwriting talent is as much in evidence as ever.

		Elliott Smith's fourth solo album and major-label debut, XO, brings narrative detail and a wide range of emotion to an indie meld of '60s-style rock and folk-pop.
		As amazing as "Roman Candle," "Elliott Smith," and "Either/or" are--and indeed, they are my favorite Elliott Smith albums--those albums require the listener to truly immerse himself in the music; special attention needs to be paid to all the quiet subtleties, or else much of the beauty and uniqueness can be lost.
		Smith's earlier albums require a desire on the listener's part to let the music bloom in all its glory; "XO" blossoms on first listen.

	Elliott Smith's sad suicide. - By Alex Abramovich - Slate Magazine
		Elliott Smith, who wrote about love, loss, addiction, and the precise point at which the three intersect, died Tuesday, Oct. 21, of a single, self-inflicted stab-wound to the chest.
		Like Cobain, Smith sprang from the indie-rock scene of the Pacific Northwest, and despite a similar overabundance of talent, he shared that scene's set of reduced expectations.
		But Smith's four- and eight-track recordings—whispered vocals dubbed over and against themselves, and set over the fast and florid finger-picking of his acoustic guitar—never lost their sense of intimacy.

	The History of Rock Music. Elliott Smith: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Elliott Smith, Heatmiser's Dallas-born singer and songwriter, has emerged as one of the most authentic voices of his generation since he started his solo career with the subdued Roman Candle (Cavity Search, 1994).
		Smith's characters are misfits consumed with a passion, that can be literal (alcohol and drug excesses) or metaphorical.
		It is impossible to tell if Smith would have approved the sequencing: Shooting Star has been moved to a position to which most critics don't even get (in fact, most reviews did not mention it), despite being Smith's favorite.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: XO, Elliott Smith, CD
		A year before his major-label debut, XO, was released, it seemed unlikely that Elliott Smith would even be on a major, let alone having his record be one of the more anticipated releases of 1998.
		He had certainly earned a great deal of critical respect with his low-key, acoustic indie records and was emerging as a respected songwriter, but he hadn't made much of an impression outside of journalists, record collectors, and indie rockers.
		Smith's songs remain intensely introspective, yet the lush, Beatlesque production provides a terrifically charming counterpoint.
