FABOTH is meant to be enjoyed as songs, not as an album. Keep that in mind.

Oh, and:
XO>FABOTH>Either Or>Roman Candle>Elliott Smith>Figure 8. I don't really like Figure 8 much, maybe it deserves another listen.

well i have now listened to: Elliott Smith, XO, FABOTH, and Figure 8. I didnt dislike any of albums but figure 8 just didnt do anything for me. some of this is just a little too depressing for my taste. it is very evident that he had some demons he was dealing.

for me its:
XO>Elliott Smith>FABOTH>Figure 8....and eventually i will check out 'Roman Candle' and 'either or'

An example:
Roman Candle

he played himself
didn't need me to give him hell
he could be cool and cruel to you and me
knew we'd put up with anything
i want to hurt him
i want to give him pain
i'm a roman candle
my head is full of flames
i'm hallucinating
hallucinating
i hear you cry
your tears are cheap
wet hot red swollen cheeks
fall alseep
i want to hurt him
i want to give him pain
i'm a roman candle
my head is full of flames
i want to hurt him
i want to hurt him
i want to hurt him
i want to give him pain
and make him feel this pretty burn.


you do know what's it's about right?
