Elliott Smith's fifth and final album released before he was tragically stabbed to death by his girlfriend. His albums all have a similar sound, Beatle-esque melodies along with lush orchestrations, and this one is no different. "Son of Sam" and "Happiness" are the best tracks here.

A lovely voice and some fluttering and magical lyrics to go with it. For those who like the lonely guitar and snowflake piano.

Compared to Smith's earlier work, Figure 8 has a much more elaborate and instrumentally detailed sound with a rich pop texture which was also previously explored on the album, XO. The lyrics are still as dark as ever and as with any Elliott Smith album, it is a compelling listen from start to finish.
