Either/Or

Either/Or is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. Either/Or was recorded in several locations, mostly in Portland, Oregon – while Smith was still a member of Heatmiser – and was produced by Smith, Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf. Either/Or was recorded sometime between 1995 and 1996 and released on February 25, 1997, on the Kill Rock Stars record label, following Heatmiser's dissolution. Promoted with two singles, "Speed Trials" and "Ballad of Big Nothing", Either/Or did not chart in the US, but was acclaimed by critics. Director Gus Van Sant was highly impressed with the album, incorporating three of its songs; "Between the Bars", "Angeles" and "Say Yes" along with a new song, "Miss Misery", into the Good Will Hunting soundtrack. In 2020, the album was ranked at 216 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
