He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his melodic pop constructions makes for a compelling artistic tension.Editorial reviewsRanked #2 on Spin's list of Top 20 Albums of '98.Spin  (01/01/1999)3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...his most adventurous music ever, opening up his acoustic flow with piano, horns, vocal overdubs, even a string section.
