		Dozens of tribute albums were recorded, and hundreds of memorial concerts (at which fans covered the artist's songs and spoke about him) were held in places from his native Los Angeles and Portland all the way to Iceland.

	Elliott Smith: XO - Musik CDer
		Whether in the broken stateliness of "Waltz #2 (XO)," the Sgt. Pepper tribute of "Baby Britain," or the explosions of "Amity" and "Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands," Smith's melodic and arrangement senses give his vulnerable vocals and brilliant wordcraft the maximum effectiveness.
		XO is a stunning shadow print of a soul adrift in the music industry, a dark place indeed.
		"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.

	Xo .:. Music - :: ayp-network.com
		All of Elliotts albums are a masterpiece in their own way, with XO and Either/Or being my two personal favourites at the moment.
		XO takes you on a beautiful ride starting with the melodic 'Sweet Adeline' to the impeccable guitar picking in 'Pitseleh' then onto the instrumental peaks such as 'Bled White' and 'Amity' and finishing on a the fullfilling note of 'I Didn't Understand' where Elliott puts on an amazing acapella performance.
		I cannot say enough about this album, easily a favourite of all time and something that no good CD collection should be without.

	Elliot Smith: XO
		On this, his most recent opus, he has not strayed all that far from those earlier themes; what has changed are his stylistic sensibilities as he has used the studio with skill and ingenuity to produce a sonic delight that borders on being a master work.
		Tomorrow Tomorrow with its smooth tempo changes, internal rhymes, and a chorus that, again, is a multi-tracked Elliott Smith approaching a crescendo that, despite its euphonic delivery, depicts the mental unraveling of the narrator.
		But, it is on the third song, Waltz #2 (XO), that the tunesmith¹s craft and studio technology are beautifully interwoven to reach a pinnacle of superlative merit.

	64. Elliott Smith - XO
		The piano-driven pop treat "Baby Britain" puts Smith ahead of Ben Folds at his best moments and the chord progression on "Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands," proves the Smith is a more educated guitarist than Dave Matthews could ever be.
		The album's final song, the multi-part a cappella "I Didn't Understand," which could easily be considered a little forced or pretentious on first sampling, reveals itself to be one of the finest displays of pop smarts/ability in recent memory.
		XO is a cup of perfect pop, sweetened with great hooks and memorable melodies.

	[No title]
		XO was a lush, beautifully recorded, bittersweet pop gem, the songs sweeping in on hooks that sounded as organic as they were wonderful.
		Figure 8, his new album, follows the same basic template as XO, but the songs lack that mysterious, magical ingredient that made the previous album's material sparkle.
		In a nutshell, Figure 8 is to XO what a pile of fragmented tales might be to a finished collection of stories: the album sounds like leftovers, and not the best that the talented Smith is fully capable of.

		True X/O can come across as depressing but I found it to be quite cathartic, it somehow alleviates the problems in my life.
		XO does indeed achieve that effect but like the rest of his folky, melodic guitar strumming oeuvre it is also capable of making you smile both inside and out.
		I must admit that this album does come off as depressing upon a first listen, however as you listen to it more you realise how incredible he is. You truly can tell that he comes from the heart and adds no frills to his lyrics for the sake of anything.

	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.
		this man is probably the most amazing musician out there, and this album in particular strikes a chord in me, i dont know what i would do, if i didnt happen to run into someone who like me was a smith fan who reccomended i go buy a cd...i cant stress enough elliots talent.

	Pole Position: XO - PopMatters Music Review
		Pole Position's XO is an entrancing debut album born from the bastion of enlightenment known as New Jersey.
		Similarly, the lyrical content of much of the album is liberally drawn from the Kraftwerk/Gary Numan school of neon lit cities and gleaming automobiles.
		The album is filled with the sort of subtle nuances which only reveal themselves upon further listening (and also serve to make the mini-album a better value than you would expect).

	Xo by Elliott Smith (lyrics & reviews)
		The first album I ever heard of Elliot Smith was from the movie "Keeping the Faith." It was his song "pitseleh", from his album XO.
		XO is, in my opinion, one of the best examples of this and well worth anything you pay for it.
		Every song on the album is beautiful, and some if you are a sensitive type, will probobly make you cry.

	XO Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		"XO", in the opinion of this author, is the greatest album of all time.
		When considering songwriting, lyrics, melody and overall meaning, no album comes close to the ability of this one, and as a result, warrants a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
		This was also Elliott's first album put out after joining the major "Dreamworks" label, so it was a huge boost to put something out that would put him on the map.

		You can even rate the album Xo Experience and write your own review to tell others how good or bad it is.
		But, thankfully, XO Experience proves that little else has changed in their blurry world with its 19 unrepentant paeans to intoxication from a band of drunken gypsies.
		The album closes with the aggravated string assault of "Promote Violins", where Tha Liks show their mettle and commit grevious bodily alongside drinking partners Kurupt and Young Gotti.

		All of these variables combine on Xo and the album delivers a more complex version of his earlier works by combining braith his trademark voice and guitar work.
		The Album is solid and remains one of my favorites, it’s also refreshing in that it is in my opinion his best album and also the one that propelled him to fame.
		XO can be found on DreamWorks Records and Elliot Smith, and Either Or can be found on Kill Rock Stars, Roman Candle is on a solo label.

		One day someone will make an album equal in quality to this one, but that will be a long time coming.
		Since I "discovered" Elliott I've bought all of his other albums, and while it's hard to pick a favorite out of all of them, XO always seems to find it's place on top.
		After this album there are other Elliott Smith records that are just as amazing.

	Aimee Mann Message Board
		There's always great stuff on his albums, but XO contains some tracks that truly awe me. His death is a terrible loss to music lovers.
		the album brings together songs that elliott worked on while on tour for the figure 8 tour in 2000 to the work he did in his own studio, new monkey, in 2003.
		The new album is AMAZING - sonically, it's much more rough and harsh, but without losing any of the melody or harmony on all Smith's albums; this one might even be my new favorite.

		The album's right on par with their debut for me; great energy, catchy, and different from anything else out right now.
		Violent Pornography is another one from the album that was amazing, if it weren't for the lyrics it could be some 50's super hero's theme song, it's got that whole bravado sound to it.
		I loved the album, but not as much as the self titled one.

		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...
		He was reluctant to embrace instant celebrity, yet he didn't refuse a contract with DreamWorks, and he didn't shy away from turning XO into a glorious fruition of his talents.
		As always with Lida Husik, the title of this album seems accompanied by a slight tongue-in-cheek wink to her electronic-obsessed peers, but it also happens to be entirely appropriate.

	BBC - Rock & Alt Review - Elliott Smith, From A Basement On The Hill
		This album is destined to build on Smith's iconic status, but it's hard to listen to it without the tragedy of his untimely death overwhelming the music.
		Whatever anyone's opinion is on the latest album, I for one am so thankful that this person had the courage to lay himself bare to the world and draw you into his confusing journey through his life.
		FABOTH is a stunning album that sits comfortably with the rest of his work as there was always an uneasy, 'I shouldn't really be listening to this' element in his songs which is more noticable on this record.

	Elliot Smith XO
		So, on a first listen, you may come away with the impression that "XO" is something acoustic, voluntarily clumsy, verging on what is called "lo-fi".
		You couldn't be farther from the truth, however, because another side of this album is the intricacy of some of the arrangements, both instrumentally and vocally.
		Indeed, Smith proves himself to be a master of the recording studio on this album.

		While a bigger studio sound won't necessarily destroy an album, the overproduction on XO dilutes Smith's greatest asset: a passionate balance between lyrics and instrumentation.
		The style change on XO occurs almost exclusively in instrumental arrangements.
		Depressingly, Smith seems to be suffering from the common inverse relationship between exposure and quality of music, and as a result, XO serves as a reminder that four tracks are often better than eight.

	The Shrubbery -- Elliott Smith -- XO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		With all the hype built around him, XO was to be a true test of whether he could keep his acclaim as he dove into the mainstream.
		Smith becomes more daring on the album's opener "Sweet Adeline" with its loud, scale-descending chorus and the faultlessly repetitous "Amity".
		Musically, the album is much more varied--sometimes bluesy, sometimes jumpy, sometimes in-between.

	Barnes & Noble.com Music - Figure 8 -- Elliott Smith - CD
		Judging only by his earlier, bare-bones indie-label albums, it seemed highly unlikely that Elliott Smith would turn into the ambitious arranger and studio craftsman of his lushly textured Dreamworks debut, XO.
		A big part of that shift, of course, was the fact that Smith had major-label finances and equipment to work with for the first time; this allowed him to fuse his melancholy, slightly punky folk with the rich sonics of pop artists like the Beatles and Beach Boys.
		Like most of the albums in my collection, it's something to listen to in the late hours when everything has been put away and we are left to consider the day before and the days ahead.
