Elliott Smith
Figure 8
CD courtesy of
Dreamworks Records
()n Figure K I lliott Smith’s follow
up to his acclaimed 1998 album XO, he
croons, “I’ve got a long way to go/get
ting further away.”
Aller listening to Smith's latest effort,
one realizes that nothing could be further
from the truth. All the way through Fig
ure 8 the listener gets die impression that
Smith has finally found some confidence
and security to match his talent. That’s
not to say Smith is any happier than be
fore — his lyrics are still drenched in the
imagery of broken relationships and lost
dreams. But, in typical Smith style, he
pulls off the pain with beautifully laid
vocals and graceful guitar playing. And
therein lies another evolution ofEUiott
Smith. With Figure 8, he has moved
away from his once irreplaceable
acoustic guitar and now almost every
song features the electric version.
Nonetheless, Smith delivers a solid,
well crafted album by capturing the best
aspects from each his four previous al
bums. Fans of the older, acoustic Smith
found on his first three albums will softly
hum along to tunes like “Somebody I
Used to Know,” “Everything Reminds
me of Her" and “I Better be Quiet Now."
Meanwhile, those that enjoyed the foot
tapping Beatle-esque tunes ofXO will be
pressing for the repeat button after hear
ing songs like "Song of Sam,” "I lappi-
ness” and “In the Lost and Found."
Smith is the complete singer-song-
\\ liter. Gone are the days of choked up
folk driven ballads recorded on a four
track in his basement. I le now is on dis
play with full backing instrumentation
and songs that hint at self-confidence.
With Figure 8 Smith's done more than
release another solid album, he has
found his place in the cannon of modem
music. (Grade: A)
