    It's simply wonderful -- bristling with pop masterpieces large and small, and reassuringly unburdened by Smith's deep-seated malaise.

    While it makes a lot of musical leaps (it's probably the most "experimental" work he's done), not all of them work, but there are still some great moments for fans of his work here.

    From a Basement on the Hill is a far better album than it has any right to be, with its bizarre sequencing and improbable ambitions.
