<p><i>Celebrating a quarter century of feels since the release of Elliott Smith's sophomore album. </i>The progress <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=elliott+smith" target="_blank"><strong>Elliott Smith</strong></a> makes from album to album is astounding. Although I like the simplicity and rawness of <i><a href="http://turntablelab.com/products/elliott-smith-roman-candle-remastered-180g-lp" target="_blank">Roman Candle</a></i>, the added instrumentation and production here (still self-produced) adds extra dimensions to Smith's melancholy. Micro-anthem after micro-anthem, this album plays like a vibrant book, easy to read and super powerful. 25th anniversary edition on dark purple colored vinyl features a fresh remaster and printed insert with liner notes.
