 Elliott Smith: Figure 8: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Figure 8, ultimately, isn't as good a record as XO or Either/Or, though the man's not out of the picture yet.
It carries the burden of that "wall of Schnapf" reverb overdrive, and is a shining example of Smith's sometimes lumbering songwriting which, in its attempts to remain original, can become unbearably random-sounding-- a problem that plagues this record from start to finish.
Figure 8 is, without a doubt, another step down from XO in terms of songwriting, even if its production has taken a step in the right direction (that is, away from Michael Penn's house).

 Elliott Smith - a Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
And Elliott Smith's records are far from "granny music," for with Figure 8, the singer/guitarist has produced another album of subdued beauty, a record that slowly sneaks up on you rather than a sucker punch that leaves you cold after subsequent listens.
Though Figure 8 starts with Smith's delving into the relatively sparse serial killer canon, one should be glad to know that the rest of the album does not follow in this vein.
Like his first few albums, Figure 8 is structured around acoustic guitar riffs, yet is complemented by lush orchestration; strings, honky-tonk piano, horns and only the occasional feedback add to his previously stark sound but do not detract from the beauty of the music on offer here.

When my current relationship reached a mid-life crisis, I figured that it was time once again to bring out the depressive rock CDs and sink into a deep state of self-pity.
Smith's "Figure 8" marks a departure from the anhedonia of his previous albums, such as "XO." The style is inherently his, and the lyrics are as indicative of Smith's sad rocker persona as any of his previous outings.
But the overall ambience of "Figure 8" - achieved through complex arrangements and indistinct vocals - allowed me to explore another side of the artist.

Figure 8 's opener, "Son of Sam," is as good as anything Smith has ever crafted, its soaring melody buoyed with lush instrumentation and a tin-pan-alley piano romp.
