	* Dusted Reviews - Elliott Smith *
		A basement on the hill is in a way the perfect metaphor for Elliott Smith's final album: it's the idea of being low in a high place, of the dark cloud looming within its anecdotal silver lining.
		To extend this interpretation to the rest of Smith's work would be an oversimplification, if only because his prior recordings more often chronicle being low in low places, but it certainly fits these fifteen songs which collectively bear the inescapable specter of his suicide late last year.
		Smith's muse was always infirmity and addiction — the gloomy depressions of drugs in the early days and love later on — but it rarely pointed to anything more terminal than a sort of spiteful, narcotized inertia.

	Elliott Smith: From A Basement On The Hill (2004): Reviews
		This is an album about the seductions of oblivion, and a few of the more densely arranged songs mimic the characters in the lyrics, stumbling around without quite connecting.
		Elliott had grand ideas for this album, and many of them were left out by those who compiled these tracks to make this album.
		This album gets somewhat of a bum rap because we all feel cheated, but if we can look beyond that and just look at the album for what it is, we can truly appreciate the beauty.

	Album Review:Elliott Smith-Either/Or (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Smith's 1997 release was his least adventurous musically, but by far his best autobiographically....hence the singer/songwriter.
		This was the record that made Smith Indie's Paul Simon, and should not be ignored by music lovers of all genres.
		Smith's hair may not be everywhere, and his body may not be a wonderland, but the music is there.

	Various Artists - To: Elliott From: Portland: Silent Uproar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Three years have passed since Elliott Smith (apparently) took his own life and exited this world, leaving a gap in the independent music scene that has yet to be filled.
		The bottom line--Elliott Smith's emotion was most easily conveyed in the nervous wavering of his vocals, as he often seemed on the verge of a breakdown; few of these renditions capture the essence of the originals.
		Smith was an artist you didn't simply listen to; you became enveloped in the songs, attaching them to yourself.

		It's hard to dispute that Smith did not get to finalize the mixes, the track selection, or the sequencing -- he died, after all, with the album uncompleted -- but that's the nature of posthumous recordings: they're never quite what might have appeared had the artist lived.
		Perhaps it's not "the next White Album," which is what McConnell claims it could have been, but it has a similarly freewheeling spirit, bouncing from sweet pop to fingerpicked acoustic guitars to fuzzy neo-psychedelic washes of sound.
		It may or may not be exactly what Elliott Smith intended these recording sessions to be, but as it stands, From a Basement on the Hill is a fond farewell to a singer/songwriter who many indie rockers of the '90s considered a friend.

		Smith reportedly claimed his hand was injured in the fracas, causing the cancellation of at least one planned show this spring.
		Smith's continued difficulty with live performances and the multiple delays with Basement-- including claims that Smith disappeared for days and couldn't be found-- led many to speculate that the singer might be using heroin or other hard drugs.
		As previously reported, Smith released the single "Pretty (Ugly Before)" as a limited-edition seven-inch on Suicide Squeeze in August; the single was expected to serve as a teaser for the forthcoming album.

	MTV News - Nearly Two Dozen Unreleased Elliott Smith Songs Leaked Online
		Originally conceived as a double album, Basement was ultimately released in October 2004 as a single 15-track LP ("Elliott Smith's Final Album Due In October").
		Ascertaining an exact number may not be possible, since Smith began recording the album in 2001 and its sessions spanned a troubled period for the singer, during which he descended into drug abuse and virtually disappeared from the music world before recovering.
		While Smith's family asked longtime producer Rob Schnapf and Smith's ex-girlfriend Joanna Bolme to put together the final version of Basement, producer Dave McConnell — who recorded more than half of the songs that appeared on the released album — said he was disappointed that he wasn't asked to participate.

		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 himself, however, clearly did not feel shackled to any such aesthetic impulse and his sound was expanding all the way to his untimely death, even if on the songs that became "from a basement on the hill" it seemed to be going supernova and collapsing in on itself.
		"xo" is not quite as lush as the album that followed ("figure 8"--i seem to be one of the few elliott smith fans who has this as one of his very favourites) but it is more of a piece with it than anything that came before.

		For his 1995 self-titled album, Smith signed with the noted Kill Rock Stars label; Either/Or followed in 1997, around the same time that filmmaker and longtime fan Gus Van Sant requested permission to use the singer's music in his upcoming 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.

	Elliott Smith lyrics
		Posthumous releases fall into two categories: those which the artist was working on at the time of their death, and those which are gathered from every nook and cranny to keep fans enthused and cash registers ringing.
		His first "solo" album is a cheap four-track home recording that hints at the melodic possibilities Smith would explore in greater detail on...
		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.

		This is one of my favourite albums of all time and it is almost unbearably sad to think of how deprived we have been of all the great music he would have made in the future.
		Figure 8 is one of those albums that when you first hear it, you like the sound, but nothing stands out; however, it grows with repeated listens, and where albums that instantly gratify tend to become irritating, works like this sound eternally fresh.
		I am incredibly saddened at Smith's demise, and, from a selfish point of view, angry that I will deprived of further releases by a genius of a songwriter (unless, of course, the work in progress was at a sufficient stage for us to hear).

	Ink Blot Magazine: Elliott Smith Mothership
		There is an immediacy and sincerity in Elliott Smith's voice and music that is undeniably rare and altogether ethereal.
		The album's opener "Needle In the Hay" thickly pours out the concrete for the album's strong foundation that solidifies then crumbles into a pile of terror-ravaged psyches.
		Smith is a genius of tenderness and acerbic wit, alternating between his existential impulses; one, towards almost feel-good pop and the other, towards film noir realism...

	Elliott Smith
		Some may say that this album is very depressing and melancholy but I believe that it conveys a plethora of various emotions (such as depression, insecurity, anger, jealousy, gratefulness, and so many others).
		Elliott's voice would not likely be found on American Idol (Raspy and quite), but this adds to the feeling of the album.
		Elliott's voice assures the listener that "this is real...this is life", it's always a splendor to find an artists who is so uniquely original.

		Elliott Smith has been a patron saint of the indie scene since his days helming Portland heroes Heatmiser.
		As a solo artist, Smith led a revolution of home four-trackers, from Beck to Cat Power, out of the bedroom and into the studio, where Smith's fondness for Beatlesque melody led to some of the most beautifully orchestrated pop of the last decade.

		It is not a happy song, but Smith's tone changes; you get the sense that he feels cleansed, and the album ends with the possibility of hope.
		But I think that is the nature of Elliott Smith: he either speaks straight to your heart or he doesn't, and if he does, the nature of the feeling is hard to explain.
		If Smith does speak to your heart, you'll find this to be the most perfect setting, and the experience will allow you to feel both the depths of Smith's depression and the highs of his musical genius.
