Yup.... unfortunately it was never "getting better all the ti-i-ime" for poor Elliot.

We are so very fortunate that this terribly tortured young man graced us with his genius time and again. Can you imagine what his restless, creative energy might have produced?

I thought this was a bit of a dead spot between Crowded House and Anna Turnheim. It seems a bit of a tip of the hat to older tunes, but it didn't really grab me at all. I yawned at one point, never a good sign. No rating until I hear it a few more times.

I thought it was a pretty cool cover, true to the original but with those trademark QotSA vocals/harmonies.  However I always thought that song would sound good as a heavier, hard rock rendition.  Kind of like how Elliott used to play Needle in the Hay live.  Then I heard OSI's cover of it, which is basically what I wish the Queens of the Stone Age cover was like.  Here's a YouTube link to the OSI cover:

I might actually have some time for his songs if he didn't sing. His voice is so weak, feeble and off-key that it just makes it unbearable.

Um, it may SOUND fun, but the lyrics are anything but. A couple of pathetic drunks getting blasted, 'solving problems with bigger problems...'

Don't get me wrong, I really like the song, but 'Elliot Smith' and 'fun' are hard to put in the same sentence.

I really like Elliott's "Waltz #2" from this album. I should look into it.
