Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Resembling at times a soft-sung Robert Plant, Buckley was an intuitive vocalist capable of dizzying arabesques and choir-boy sweetness. He is joined here by a tight band for 10 tracks highlighting his stylistic range--Pearl Jam bluesy on "Eternal Life," impossibly serene on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," art-school noisy on "So Real," Led Zep daring on "Mojo Pin." Unorthodox, this was the debut of '94. --Jeff Bateman Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah..."A legendary album and justly so. Every song is a masterpiece in its own right: the title track, which gave Radiohead the basis for their Bends-era sound; "Mojo Pin," at once gorgeous and disturbing, "Heroin" for the '90s, the beautiful "Last Goodbye," with strings, a lovely falsetto, and a weirdly unresolved chord progression, the cabaret-esque "So Real," with a very heavy, very strange guitar solo and gasping vocals, the brokenhearted "Lover, You Should've Come Over," with Buckley overdubbing himself to create a gospel choir effect, the Zeppelin-esque heavy rocker "Eternal Life," the creepy, bongo-driven closer "Dream Brother." And the covers are just as good as the originals: "Lilac Wine" is jazz filtered through Pink Floyd, and his famous ...

Drawing its inspiration from Nina Simone, Van Morrison, Billie Holiday, Led Zeppelin, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Bob Dylan, Édith Piaf, The Smiths, and Leonard Cohen, Grace is definitive Jeff Buckley, whose life was cut short. Ironically, he accidentally drowned at age 30 in Graceland, (Memphis). Although the album initially sold poorly, it has since drawn the acclaim it deserves. (Jimmy Page considers Grace his "favorite album of the decade," David Bowie named Grace as one of the ten albums he would take with him to a desert island, and Dylan named Buckley "one of the great songwriters of this decade.") "Mojo Pin" opens the album with a psychedelic, dreamlike quality ... Read More: Rating:  - He's...nothing compared to his father... listen to starsailor and lorca if you are really into music... Rating: - Wonderful CDThis is a great cd to drive to or listen to in your home. Jeff Buckley's beautiful voice and guitar playing sweep you up and make you feel good all over. Rating: - Listen before you pay for itTo my ear, this is one of the most overrated albums I have heard. Not that it's bad. It's just all right. There is simply nothing here that merits the gushing accolades many of Buckley's fans heap upon it. Or maybe I just don't connect with it. After repeated listenings. If you can get your hands on a copy, you'd do well to listen to it before buying your own based on its hype. You may becomes as enamored as many others have. You find find it so-so as I do. Or you may even fall into the category with several people I know who find it to be unbearably boring. |
