False Cathedrals - Elliott

Advantages: One of the finest albums ever
Disadvantages: Too inspirational

...Elliott Smith is a musical genius and it is a sad fact that he is no longer with us today. Either/Or is beautifully written, every song is written to near perfection and hasn't been off my playlist since I bought it almost a year ago. Each song is refreshing and Elliott's soft, gentle voice can work wonders after a bad day. It's typically difficult to pick a favourite an Elliott Smith album. "Say Yes" has also been something special to me, "Between The Bars" is also a lovely track. I could write about Elliott for hours but to round things up I would say that this is a must have for any indie fan, without it you have no idea what you are missing.... Read review

Advantages: truly wonderful album style, lyrics, and flow
Disadvantages: apart from a couple of the tracks nothing

...Missy Elliott has always demanded, and received respect, from the moment she released her first tune. Fat female with a dress sense as big as her personality she took on the hip hop world and demanded it accepted her. This album reminds me that even though she's been through it all 'the entourage tales, funny clothing lines' she might not be the best at everything but the one thing you can't take away from her is that when it comes down to laying down the lyrics and beats she still reigns supreme. tracks like pass that dutch, get ur freak on are tracks you can't get bored of, her imagination is out of this world a truly gifted woman...

Advantages: soothing, soft vocals, acoustic, brilliant guiat work, great album
Disadvantages: if you like pounding dance music, and that only, then you probably won't like this.

...Elliott smith will always be remembered as an extremely talented musician, and this Cd not only highlights this, but gives the fans a little something extra. Although it is a short album, it is definitely sweet. The album begins with 'Roman Candle' a true classic, one of my favourites from Elliott. It shows his torment as a person and touches your heart. It is known he had a troubled life, his step dad and him not getting along, and this song represents this. There are three untitled songs, but still great, only goes to show his mindset. The album is beautiful, another low production but great album, and the cover is eye capturing, simple, but intriging, Also the lyrics inside are with his hand writing which is nice. If you are an Elliott fan then get this album. The soft vocals, and layered guitaring will have you listening to it time... Read review
