This man was a genius, albeit a very troubled genius, crafting fantastic album after fantastic album. In my opinion XO is Elliott's best album, it combines the stripped down, lo-fi sound of his older records with a more production-heavy sound that just works so well. The sheer catchiness of this is greatly at odds with the very depressing lyrics, which I might add are fantastically well written. I also love his voice, it's really, well thin and almost whispery, I really like it anyway. Really, I don't know what more I can say, to be honest this is just a masterpiece. To the dismay of many Elliott died late in 2003, which really really sucks, he could have done so much more. If I'm honest my description can't really do this album any justice at all, so just listen to it - it's awesome. I promise.
Masterpiece.
