Elliott Smith: Elliott Smith (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

The progress Elliott Smith makes from album to album is astounding. Although I like the simplicity and rawness of Roman Candle, the added instrumentation and production here (still self-produced) adds extra dimensions to Smith's melancholy. Micro-anthem after micro-anthem, this album plays like a vibrant book, easy to read and super powerful. Recommended.
