Album notes
This singer/songwriter can say more with a whisper than most folks can with a scream. The gently insinuating despair of Smith's work communicates volumes about the heartbreak and alienation that is the bane of 20th century boys with too much time on their hands. Smith's day job fronting the aggressive post-punk band Heatmiser provides him with the necessary yang to produce the quiet, evocative yin of his solo work.
On EITHER/OR, Smith observes a production ethic that retains a lo-fi looseness without sacrificing any sonic clarity. His songs of loss and loneliness have the broken-poet aura of Smog or Mark Eitzel, but he offsets the gloom with a hatful of damnably catchy melodies and progressions, turning suffering into pop and making it signify.

Editorial reviews
Ranked #73 in Spin Magazine's 90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.
Spin  (09/01/1999)

Ranked #20 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
Village Voice  (02/24/1998)

7 (out of 10) - ...ranges from low-fi sparseness to rock with a melodicism Smith's band Heatmiser has yet to match....Though the harrowing heroin tales of Smith's last album are gone, his frequent alcoholidays suggest a less outwardly tortured Mark Eitzel...
Spin  (03/01/1997)

...Very frequently on EITHER/OR Elliott Smith...leaves you in awe at his quiet power...
NME  (07/19/1997)

...an awkward sort of prettiness that fits him well....a U-turn from the aggressive, basement minimalism of his last solo record....proving himself to be an artist of uncommon dexterity and grace.
Option  (05/01/1997)

4 stars out of 5 - EITHER/OR took the small arranging step needed to turn Smith's beautifully, harmonically sly but still then mostly self-accompanied tunes into indisputable pop.
Uncut  

4 stars out of 5 - Dark surrealism with a wispy, half-there voice and an always surprising chorus.
Mojo  

Ranked #24 in Mojo's 100 Modern Classics -- Characteristically double-tracked vocals whispered into the listener's head, revealing the confessions of a man struggling to escape an undisclosed past.
