That might sound like oddly specific praise, even mitigation, but 1997 was a stacked year for quality work. Oh, and also Modest Mouse’s The Lonesome Crowded West and Ben Folds Five’s Forever and Ever Amen.ġ997 was the year of Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind, Mogwai’s Young Team, and Erykah Badu’s Baduizm. And of course, Bjork’s Homogenic and Radiohead’s OK Computer. I can’t go as far as to call Either/Or the best of the lot. Mainly because OK Computer was the best of the lot. However, I can’t begrudge anyone who says this is their favorite album of its year, its decade, or of all time. There’s almost nothing to add to the conversation about Either/Or‘s merits. This is the best album from one of the best singer-songwriters of our time. It is all at once breathtaking, intimate, thrilling, somber, and uplifting. A testament to Smith’s ear for music and lyrical pen.

Twenty years later, Either/Or is as alive as when it was new. Crucially, though, this isn’t a review of Either/Or but its expanded anniversary edition. This edition offers both remastered versions of the whole album as well as a smattering of live songs and alternate versions.Įither/Or is a rather intimate album, one whose bit of roughness could be considered part of its appeal. But whatever concerns that a cleaned-up version of Either/Or would consist of a glossy sheen on a masterwork should be discarded. Put simply, the album has never sounded better, in the best sense of the term. “Speed Trials” sounds even more sinister with its cleaned-up multi-tracking, and that’s just the first track. What’s less worthwhile are the included live tracks and alternate versions of songs. These aren’t bad cuts but they’re here to please Elliott Smith devotees more than they’re here to decode Either/Or.
