Either Or

Seems kinda emo, I’ve never heard of this person but he’s vibey. Speed Trials and Alameda were okay. Ballad of Big Nothing was pretty good. Between the Bars was a nice soft song. Pictures of Me was good. No Name No. 5 was okay. Rose Parade and Punch and Judy were alright. Angeles and Cupids Trick were fine. 2:45 a.m. is good. Say Yes is fine but a good end of album song. The melody sounds like it wants to end the whole time. Track No. 2 sums up how I feel about this album: Ballad of Big Nothing. Was it a vibe? Sure. Was it my vibe? Not really.

Mind-numbingly mellow. Feels like each song is just the same as the one before with slightly different lyrics. This is the kind of music that you ignore when it comes into rotation. Or skip if you can. As BEavis and Butthead would say "This sucks, change it."

Och nee.

More dull US Indie pop

Boring....

Ugh.

Not my cup of tea.

Sad boy music not my style.

holy fucking lmao this is straight up nuclear fucking garbage. is this some joke im just not in on? why the fuck would anyone listen to this? i guess if you are missing out on some out-of-tune whiny pathetic fucking vocals and basic-ass guitar strumming this is your cup of tea but then i, presonally, just wouldnt respect you as a music-enjoyer this is so fucking lame lmfao i just fucking cant. most talentless shit ive had a displeasure to listen to. thank fuck i only checked out 6-7 songs instead of the entire album but god its so fucking bad i cant even find the words to describe it that are not "fucking" and "bad" NNN this is pathetic shit, id give it a 0 if i could

What am I missing, who the hell actually likes this crap

Do you like Indie folk music? If you do then this album is for you. I don't really know what the guy is saying. The lyrics are decent but I don't understand what he saying he gotta talk louder. His voice is decent it just he don't talk loud and I can't really hear him. I would recommend this album just because it sounds good but you can't really hear the guys voice.

Do you like singers with soft voices? Then this is the album for you! This singer has an amazing voice, but I don't really like how soft he sings but I would still listen to him. I think that the instruments are amazing too, and it has a good beat. So that is why I recommend you listen to this album.

First album I wasn't able to get through.

I'm kinda sad today. In that Buffy the Vampire Slayer elicited some tears from my middle-aged eyes. I've had my share of depressive episodes. But I'm not sure if there could ever be a time where anyone could be sad enough for this to become good. If it was therapy for Mr Smith, that's good, I guess, the poor fella. If it's therapy for someone else, I guess that's good too. But this is never going to darken my earballs again.

Found only 1 song… rap

Eh. This was a very hard listen. Why did this need to exist? Why is it important?

All shite. But knowing you all and your shite taste, you probably gave this shite 4 or 5s. Well, doesn't matter.

Esse deve ser sobrinho de quem fez a lista. Álbum chato da porra

No thanks

I have never heard of this artist before today. And I wonder why I needed to listen to this album before I shove off this mortal realm.

Dreary

Not a fan. Not a single song that I was thinking "yeah, let's hear that again" Reading his bio on Wiki, I can but only get the impression that he's heralded as a great influence because it gives us a reason to put a spotlight on mental-health... Removing those artists who either took their own lives intentionally, or accidentally, there are plenty of great artists out there who don't feel the need to shoot up, drink up, or stab themselves in the stomach because they don't agree with the girlfriend hiding in the bathroom and taking a shower... 1*

Just ok

Bad

Man, that was a long-ass 37 minutes.

Dull and well dull.

Sooooo dull

Not my cup of tea really.

As soon as I read "an acclaimed singer/songwriter with a distinctively melancholic sound" I had a feeling this wasn't for me. And it wasn't.

Even when trying to listen to this as hard as I could, I still tuned it out.

Either/Or as in either skip it or don’t listen to it. A bit bland, lucky for us it’s only 36 minutes long. Either snooze through it or poker stick. (0.8*)

I got nothing out of this album. It felt very generic and while I'm sure that makes it easy listening... I just didn't vibe.

Bad 1/5

Didn’t get into the album

All songs sound the same. A whispering singer, with lots to say.

bland pablum, trite fluff, absolutely not worth the time, money or energy to record. I consider it an insult that you or anyone would present this to anyone to waste time listening.

Speak up son!

Nothing hooked me or stood out. Quiet but not soothing to my ear.

Boring and all sounds the same.

Not my type

NO

Bleh

😴😴💤💤

Quiet, indie rock. Not for me. 1/5

Not for me…

Music and vocals was hard to distinguish. Boring.

Teenage/young adult angst becomes musically incarnate. Unfortunately, unlike other angsty contemporaries, Smith forgot to make any of the music fun. Most of the songs sound like the same sad bastard music, nothing stands out. I would need to be in a very specific mental place to enjoy this, like in my parent's basement right after my girlfriend broke up with me and I got fired from my job at Burger King on the same day.

Sounds like what people who listen to pop think indie sounds like. Just talking over a strummed guitar. Kinda 90s

couldn’t hear lol

I really wanted to like this. Blech. I dislike the music so much I can’t bring myself to listen to the lyrics

Did not like at all. Too miserable and samey

Blah

Not my cup of tea

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

Absolutely not for me. Is it a toy drum on the first track? It makes lars' snare on st anger sound amazing. I feel sorry for the dude that he was so troubled with drugs, but I feel like I could do with some drugs after listening, if I'm ever to feel happy again.

Forgetable

bland, boring... most albums on this list have had a "purpose" even if I maybe didn't like the genre or the type music. this is just devoid of anything...

Who? Pleasantly boring.

1.5

Boring, dull, tedious

Ootko kuunnellu Elliot Smithia? Noi top 5 biisiä on parhaimpia biisejä ikinä min kirjoissa😁 Mun* (Sluchaj, sluchaj, sluchaj mnie jeszcze) tämä albumi olisi paras albumi ikinä jos se olisi ainoa albumi ikinä between the bars

Aburridisimo

Boring. Even the one with 137M streams. Christ, I don't think I even listened to the last few songs.

Thanks. Now I am bored and sad.

Never heard of it

Didn't really like his voice or the music sad face.

Didn’t like it, skipped most of the songs.

this sounds like the type of filler noise that i imagine is always on in the back of like, a seattle coffee shop. this being made in 1997 means an entire generation of ppl took this sound and ran with it. which is unfortunate. bc it's v much not my vibe

Wow this is a boring album. Lyrics are uninspiring and repetitive, the vocalist sounds like he's whispering in every song, even the rock beats are generic. Incredibly bland and basic from start to finish.

Boring Lame Uninspired

Folk music, not a fan of this one

Why you would listen to this when you could listen to Armenian Pop Music (1980) by Hamlet Minassian?

Did not like

yeah, this album isn't for me. It sounds a bit too slow and depressing for my liking.

es gibt echt keine lahmere musik ey

This is a bad album. It is indie music and not good. It is kinda emo music too. No need to listen.

Stile un po' indie un po' lo-fi, un po' sottofondo da lavanderia a gettoni. Che flemma... Lo trovo veramente noioso.

Forgettable

zzzzz

bleh

Un-listenable

Super langweiliges, fast gewimmertes "singen". Ist eher was für depressive Phasen.

Rubbish.

Dreary

The best thing I can say about this is that I didn't actively hate it. I didn't like it though. Very melancholy, sad, folky. Not at all for me.

bof bof

pretentious

1

Nothing substantial.

Love

It's...okay...
