Maybe it's just me...

...but is anyone else a little scurred to get the new Elliott Smith album? I heard it a few months ago on-line and I was like damn...this is some final farewell shit right here.

The song, "Pretty (Ugly Before)", is just one of those songs where you think you are going to just lose it right then and there...it's just not fair. Hell, the whole album is a Kleenex grabbing moment. And let's be real with each other, before Mr. Smith passed away the majority of his work had a cry for help vibe to them, so this is nothing new. In this case it feels like you just came across a suicide note that you weren't supposed to see--but can't stop looking at because yer on the quest for a tiny glimmer into the psyche of what makes "the victim" tick.

So this the deal...don't think the album solves any problem about what really went down but this is just a warning...you on meds, get insane PMS or anything of that ilk listen to From a Basement on the Hill at your own discretion.
