Either/Or is a guitar player's acoustic album. It sounds simple on first listen, but it is actually quite complex. He is really creative in his chord progressions. "Alameda" is actually a challenge to play before you really sit down and get the hang of it. Either/Or is far and away my favorite album of his.

In general, I also think he is underrated. He is one of the rare occasions where someone has indie cred because he is actually good and not just because it's "cool to like him".
