    Honestly decent but you can't but feel like everyone is praising it because the guy is dead. XO and even Figure 8 were much better than From a Basement and this collection. I would say it is his album that I listen to least.

    As hope, there are revealing looks at Smith's developments as a writer. [#17, p.87]

    New Moon sounds less like a pile of outtakes than an official album released in a parallel universe.

    Smith's trademark combination of breathy - almost whispered - vocals, deceptively resilient acoustic melodies, and sombrely introspective lyrics, is shown off to sufficiently good advantage here to make New Moon a worthy companion piece to 1995's Elliott Smith and 1997's Either/Or.
