GOAT ALBUM

What a phenomenal experience. Angelic vocals and he plucks right at the heart strings with that guitar

i'm gonna admit something... i've never heard this album. it's crazy! bc it's so well-regarded, but i had never gotten to it. i can see why people love jeff buckley, and i loved this as well, because i love a melancholy acoustic track. this is industry standard-setting stuff. respect.

A true 5* album. With the mix of Zeppelin like guitars, one of the most breakable voices to have ever sung and the redefining of the song Hallelujah for a new generation, this is a truly superb album

Hallelujah of course is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. The rest of the album is pretty cool too

A perfect album, I think I've listened to this way too many times in my life, and I always find something new and a new perspective to the songs and the playing in this album. A true masterpiece - wish we had more of Jeff Buckley - we lost him too soon.

This man has an angelic voice and some of the best songwriting of all time

absolutely amazing not one bad song

amo demais

Better than I expected. Of course I new 'Hallelujah' which is a beautiful cover. And I was also familiair with 'Lilac Wine' and 'Grace', but there are many more good songs on this album. Quite some different styles as well, which I liked. 5/5

Wow. What an album. Very good from start to finish. The way jeff can take his voice into many ranges is unbelievable. I’m glad I got this album on Jan 16th. It gave me some hope on the past relationship. Driving home from work late at night and listening to forget her was an experience I’ll never forget. This album is hands down amazing and I will be visiting many times.

This is a great among greats and a classic among classics. I think I've found one of my new all-time favorite albums. Jeff's voice is transcendent, every note placed like only a master can. The songs are all varied, memorable, and powerful. The musicians all playing top notch. This was so so so so SO good.

A surprising amount of variety in this album, with a lot of potential for a future career. Unfortunately, not possible in this case, and that does not save the album from being lower in the 5s, but I do think it is important enough to get that ranking, even if on the lower end.

A classic singer songwriter album. The emotion Jeff conveys through his melodies and words is truly moving. The tone of his telecaster is iconic and ethereal. His rendition of Hallelujah gives it a different feel. Highlights are Lover you should've come over, Last Goodbye, Lilac Wine and Hallelujah

Cracking

Great range and passion in each song. Hallelujah

Best album ever made ! Ask David Bowie

Such a beautiful album, I am so in love. I will definitely be looking into this more, I feel like it had such an impact on artists today. Like I’m assuming Hozier drew inspiration from this.

super sweet album said what happened to Jeff, as well as his father :( anyway, the album was really beautiful, I enjoyed nearly every song I wasn’t a fan of Eternal Life, it’s just too grungy, 90’s metal for me but yeah beyond that, wonderful album solid 9/10

This is an excellent album. Great songs, great music, vocals a bit on the edge for me, but very soulful and expressive, and the best rendition of Hallelujah that I have heard.

оказывается, кавер бакли на hallelujah леонарда коэна (кстати, не знала, что это он ее написал.... но версия песни коэна настолько не впечатляющая, что можно считать джона кейла (первый и величайший кавер, вошедший в саундтрек шрека!) соавтором..) всего второй! и один из великих я слушала hallelujah, думала о таинственно утонувшем джеффе бакли, вспоминала о снежной дымке за окном, белых деревьях, смотрела на меланхоличного бакли с обложки.. какая-то нежность и тихая горечь просыпаются во мне, когда думаю об этом альбоме кажется, я теперь люблю jeff'a buckley u know (да, вот такой я впечатлительный бэйбик, а что вы мне сделаете, курта кобейна я тоже любила)

This album is so great, Jeff has such a wonderful voice and the melodies blends this all in a musical bliss.

It was the first time I heard Jeff Buckley and I must say that I was blown away. We often hear powerful voices, but rarely with so many emotions and nuances. Musically, the compositions are magnificent and extremely well put together and blend perfectly with the voice of Jeff Buckley.

I liked it

best album ever. can die peacefully knowing i’ve heard it. so real is so fucking real

Oh wonderful! An all-time favourite album of mine. A phenomenal debut album, Jeff Buckley was a man of staggering musical talent. I remember playing this album for my husband a few years back and he was so impressed by the guitar. He said all of these riffs could so easily be metal or hard rock riffs but they're played with such clean precision instead. I adore the feeling of heart-wrenching ache this album evokes every time I listen. It's emotional, yearning, deeply vulnerable, and oh so sexy all at once. Lover, You Should’ve Come Over is my favourite track. It's rife with drama and unrequited love in the juiciest way. The vocals are impressive, every track you get something nuanced in the cadence of his singing and inflection. Such a tragic loss when he died. He was an irreplaceable talent, a wonderfully emotional and complex artist, and I wish we'd all been able to see what else he would have done. This was only the beginning of what would have been a truly remarkable career. Top marks.

Amazing from front to back. This is one I always meant to sit down and listen to, but never did. 5/5. Favorite track: Eternal Life

I love this album so much!

You either loved him or hated him. I personally think this album is amazing and associate a lot of great memories with it.

A favourite

Sedate album but undeniably great, where the bass line for Eternal life comes from on this album I’ll never know

Awesome album

An album I’ve meant to listen to for years. I’ve seen this album cover in music stores for decades, seen it listed in music magazines but never gave it a chance. What a record though, so happy I have heard it in its entirety. But I would have been so in to this when I was in my 90s renaissance phase in my teens/early 20s. I love Last Goodbye so much.

Infusing the virtuoso vocal performances of his father Tim and his own passionate yet gritty style, Jeff Buckley possessed a talent that was ready to take over when he unexpectedly died. Grace, the only album released in his lifetime, is the complete document of what could have been had he refined and perfected his style further. With the 1-2-3 punch of the first three tracks and the most consequential cover of a Leonard Cohen song ever, Grace was just the beginning of a story that never got the chance to be told.

One of the best albums I've heard in a long time.

🥰🥰

Loved it!

What a fantastic surprise. From a great cover of Hallelujah to the other songs filled with great guitar work, nice drums and great vocals. This album flew under the radar when it was released but now over the years has finally gotten the recognition it deserves

I've heard this album a hundred times, but have no hesitation about putting it on again for this. Absolutely phenomenal. Where would he have gone, musically? We'll never know - we were robbed.

bangeur

So many moments causing so many shivers down my spine. If ever there was a masterpiece…

It's a 5. There is no other score this album can have.

Perfect.

One of the best albums of all time. Easiest 5 so far

classic.

- Grandios, mehr fällt mir hier nicht zu ein.

Outstanding, albums like this are why I am doing this. Hallelujah will never fail to give me goosebumps

I kinda groaned when I saw this album because I thought it was gonna be bad. I’ve seen the cover art before and wrongly associated it with something corny. This album is honestly really good. That first song set a great mood for the rest of the album. It runs a little long but it’s definitely worth the listen if you’re willing to put in the time

He really does sound like Tim Buckley's teenage son going through his emo / grunge phase. His vocals are the highlight here, haunting and expressive with a dynamic range, reminding me a lot of Thom Yorke yet neither better nor worse than him. It's powerful and dramatic. Instrumentals are rich and complex, melodic and not afraid to show its power or versatility. Sometimes harsh and clustered but other times smooth and jazzy. The dark, mysterious, trance-like sound and use of repetitive themes definitely came from his father's psychedelic folk work, but it sounds so complete and put together here. Production is insanely clean and impressive. Most songs are memorable after just a couple listens. A lot of songs like "Last Goodbye" and "Eternal Life" sound like what 90s pop alt rock would attempt to imitate but would always fail. I actually never heard any of these songs before, even "Hallelujah", so coming into this album blind was a huge shock. Loved every track for completely different reasons. Didn't even notice it was an hour.

A pretty incredible debut. Fave track: Last Goodbye

Dang, what a talent. His covers are just _sublime_. "Hallelujah", "Lilac Wine" and "Corpus Christi Carol" are all just wonderful versions. Fave track - "Last Goodbye" if I'm picking a Buckley original, or "Hallelujah" if covers are allowed.

Always a delight, love this album

Never really stopped to listen to this album until the recommendation, I appreciate this

beautifully haunting. rest in peace jeff.

A classic. Everyone knows this. A gem of perfectly captured talent that is bittersweet as we wanted more , and that’s never going to happen

hi this is one of my favorite albums so its a 5. I have it on vinyl so you know it's real. the guitar in this is so good, super full and warm in a way. the strumming is so intentionally strong i love it. like the guitar on grace come on. the covers are unparalleled. fav is lover you should've come over. so many different sounds on one album that works so well. wonderful and tragic that there couldn't be more

Greatest voice of the 90s (if not the greatest album of the 90s)

his voice is so beautiful. So captivating. Like drifting into a dream and being woken up abruptly but that’s alright. I want his voice. Amazing lyrics and instrumentals as well. The soft aggressive acoustic that teenage boys nowadays wish they could achieve. The contrast between overwhelming chaos and haunted peaceful tunes is just out of this world. Love songs worth fainting to. Feels like driving at 11pm alone with nothing but your thoughts. Songs I yearn to.

Hallelujah 5/5

Simply beautiful. Not much else to say about this one. 5/5

Dificilísimo escoger una canción favorita. Definitivamente es de los álbumes más influyentes y atemporales que hay por ahí, para no decir artistas.

Amazing voice. Loved it.

p744. 1994. 5 stars Great songs, great production, great guitar work and THAT voice. And it has the rarest of things, a cover that has become the definitive version. Faultless. To what heights could he have risen...

Already very familiar with this album. First heard it in my early teens and sounds just as powerful now. Masterful guitar and vocal work over an idiosyncratic mix of soulful blues and 90s tinged rock. A masterpiece.

Voice of an angel

Love this album

Just glorious

Masterpiece

Spectacular

-Hallelujah cover was decent -Eternal life was a good switch up on the album, rlly nice:)

Odd relationship with this album because I love the versions of many of these songs from the Live at Sin-é album just a little bit more (particularly Eternal Life). All things being equal it’s an album I’d likely give 4 stars, but I have to push it one extra for so, so brief a candle.

Loved this album growingup

re listened a few times

YES!!! 5 Ok I knew multiple songs quite well, but I didn't know all of the songs would be so good. Obviously Jeff Buckleys only studio album gets a roaring 5. Holy shit when "Eternal Life" came on I thought spotify played from radio or something. It's so different, and so good.

What is there to say about this album that hasn't already been said - a life and career tragically cut too short.

Not much to say; Jeff Buckley is pretty damn good. The songwriting and singing are great, and considering he was a session guitar player before recording this album the songs are pretty balanced instrumentation wise, not entirely guitar-centric.

Remember my sister being a huge fan back in the day, but never really listened to this myself. What a shame I haven't got around to it before now, because this is phenomenal. Singing is incredible, compositions interesting and production stellar. I understand why this is as legendary as it is.

I like this album a lot. The songs are all well-written, the kind that take a few or more listens to really enjoy and appreciate. Also RIP

Really great, might even bump it up to a 10 if I keep listening to this album. 9/10

I don't know if Jeff Buckley's death hindered his potential to follow up with an amazing discography, or if it solidified him as a legend with a sole fantastic album. This has a bit of everything, Jeff's great vocals and guitar playing, wrote some amazing songs and had a cover that matched them, and has a decent backing band and additional songwriters to compliment the artist. I was just really pleased that there was so much more to enjoy than his cover of Hallelujah. Last Goodbye, Grace, Mojo Pin all slap.

Sometimes I wear extra-strength skepticism filters when I see lots of praise for an album I'm not familiar with, especially if I feel it might be somewhat elevated from other factors, such as the emotions of losing an artist too soon. That was all blown away by this beautiful and powerful work. And the loss of this artist did, in fact, bring tears to my eyes as I listened to his incredible music. "Hallelujah" is one of those favorite songs that may have been overdone in the '00s, but I really think it was because Buckley's version set the standard. It was like I heard the song for the first time today and I felt the joy again. It is magnificent from beginning to end. It's possible that I enjoy Buckley's clearly Zeppelin-influenced pieces more than I do Zeppelin... This is one I will definitely want to spend more time with. There is more to explore and feel, I think.

Mmm-hmmm. This album gave me deep deep feelings and left me with few words. This is one of the special ones.

I expected this to be great, but GRACE still surprised me by just how great it is! Jeff Buckley does so much in this album. Achingly heartbreaking at times, yet not afraid to turn up the distortion on the guitar an rock out. Buckley tries a lot of things on this album and it all works incredibly well. I am transfixed. In one moment he is soaring to epic heights then effortlessly dives into deep personal introspection. What an incredible ride! I love this album so very much. Why when I first heard Jeff Buckley’s rendition of “Hallelujah” I didn’t immediate run out and buy this album I’ll never know. This song deserves all the love and praise. The performance is perfection. It is remarkable that the rest of the album more than lives up to the impossibly high standard set by this incredible performance. “Last Goodbye” is an incredibly mature breakup song so great it seems like a clear and present threat to a breakup. “Lilac Wine” is a touching performance of heartbreak as the singer reminisces on a lost love. An incredible performance that gives me chills as it ends. The fantastic accordion opening, beautiful organ and arching lyrics of “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over” gives the perspective of a man desperately looking for the return of an absent lover. He passingly acknowledges culpability as he cries out for her return. “Eternal Life” is one of the harder rock songs. Buzzy guitars grind over intense lyrics like ‘I’ve got a message for you and your twisted hell, You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal Angel yeah.” Halfway through the song seems to take off as the guitars soar boosted by a dramatic string section. The original finale of the album is “Dream Brother”. It opens with dissonant plucking that gives way to a moody guitar riff over exotic drums. It was written to a friend in another 1001 band (Fishbone!) trying to encourage him not to abandon his pregnant girlfriend by invoking his own abandonment by his father Tim Buckley (also a 1001 artist!). Beautifully complicated and utterly unforgettable. I was a little sad to learn there’s only one Jeff Buckley album in the world. Then I felt a little silly because we get more from this album than any of us deserve.

Actively avoided listening to this for a while as so many talent show voices had mangled Hallelujah so much. What a phenomenal talent, not a single duff track and even in the rockiest moments sounds intimate.

A career tragically cut short, but you can see even on this album he was destinied to be one of the greats

Absolutely perfect. One of my favorite voices. Not Otis Redding, not Fiona Apple, but as distinctive and brilliant.

An incredible album - such a beautiful voice and songwriting with a heartbreaking legacy behind it

Hørte eit program om Tim Buckley på radioen her om dagen, men eg like Jeff Buckley bedre. Bra album, hørte masse på da når eg vaska på gamleheim i sommerferien for mange år siden

Incredible to discover he doesn't sound Hallelujah

❤️

A fantastic album. One of my favourites.

muss sich nun jeder der noch auf die seite schaut anhören

full nostalgia teen love here

It's amazing. Guitar, vocals and songwriting alike. Jeff Buckley was too good for this world

Alles op dit album zit precies goed. De harde stukken zijn net zacht genoeg. De zachte stukken komen hard genoeg binnen. Jeff heeft ook een stembereik van jewelste. Heel hard van genoten, ondanks ik maar 1 nummer kende

Jeff Buckley’s only studio album during his lifetime. It is hard to objectively review without mentioning his enormous potential. As a stand alone album it is inconsistent, but worth listening to for the high points, including his monumental cover of Hallelujah.

Just a phenomenal album from start to finish. It's a real tragedy that this was all that was released in his lifetime because this was something special. "Lover, you should have come over" is fantastic, full of raw passion and emotion which soars and takes you on a journey, and of course "hallelujah" is probably a top 10 cover of all time. This fusion of rock, blues, pop, and folk really works for me and his vocals feel authentic. Like he means every word he sings.

Grace is such a perfect title for this. We are essentially hearing Jeff Buckleys thoughts, wishes and ambitions spilled out onto the record. His beautiful Hallelujah dead center on the album is a wonderful choice. What a breathtaking production. A heart on sleeve masterwork.

Why was Jeff Buckley taken so soon? Favourites: "Mojo Pin", "Last Goodbye", "So Real", "Hallelujah", "Forget Her" (Bonus)

The title track is a behemoth of a song His vocals are insane! Splendid songwriting and even better production. RIP Jeff

Go through phases on this between liking it and loving it… today was a loving it day!!

Already Heard

Somewhere between 4 and 5 stars. It's adventurous in its choice of covers, beautifully sung, and the original material is pretty good as well. I know its a classic of its kind, so lets give it 5

I'm not sure that back-to-back songs can get much better than "Hallelujah" and "Lover You Should Have Come Over." Those were the two Jeff Buckley songs I was most familiar with, but I'm happy to say that I was nearly as blown away by the rest of the album. I likely heard it all the way through a few times, but again, 1994 produced such a prolific abundance of great albums that I probably wasn't ready to fully appreciate it in the mid-90s anyway. Buckley possessed one of the greatest voices in rock history, which was sadly constrained at both ends - first by spending the first decade of his career as a session musician and band member rather than as a lead singer, and then by his tragic death. That history exploring different collaborators and genres certainly benefited him though, and "Grace" wouldn't be the album of diverse and gorgeous sound it is without those experiences. The way these songs build, ebb and flow, rise and fall, is consistently beautiful and powerful. At times Buckley is the stripped-down mellow singer-songwriter, at times the pop rock lead man that reached musical heights that Chris Martin, Travis' Fran Healy, and many others could never match. At times Buckley embraces a very 90s sound, at times it feels like powerfully explosive classic rock of the early 70s, at times you can feel the influence of the wide variety of artists he had worked with early in his career. An incredible singer, but the voice only reaches the heights that it does because of the arrangements and musical vision.

1994 was one of the best years in music, maybe ever, and this album was part of the reason why. In contrast to the distortion and discontent coming from Seattle, Jeff Buckley made an album that was just as emotional and raw but beautiful. His vocal control is amazing as are his musical choices about when and how to use it. Lover, You Should Have Come Over is one of my top 10 favorite songs and was on just about every mixed tape I ever made. I even wrote a psychology paper on that song in undergrad, got an A :). That sigh before the first note of Hallelujah gets me every time. He may not have written it, but it's most definitely his song now. The opening of Last Goodbye sounds a little like it was ripped off by Oasis for Champagne Supernova (the "how many special people" part). And I actually love the way that So Real falls apart in the middle and then puts itself back together. This album is different and classic at the same time. Unlike some of the other music from '94, my love for this album has only grown and that speaks to the wide array of musical styles from which it draws inspiration. That range is apparent in who has claimed to be influenced and inspired by Buckley. Everyone from Adele to PJ Harvey, Radiohead to Lana Del Rey. Hell, Jimmy Page said this album was close to being his favorite of the decade and David Bowie said it was one of the 10 albums he would bring to a desert island. I gotta agree with the greats on this one.

We both loved it. As Ian observed it is certainly not “background music” - it is rather intense and demands to be listened to! It is very beautiful

Never gave the whole album a chance. Guitar is stellar. Lilac Wine + the hits, great album.

One of the best albums of the '90s. Jeff's angelical voice and passion fill each track of this masterpiece of an album. Truly a gem, considering the fleeting life and tragic downfall of Tim Buckley's son.

This was an unexpected surprise. I didn't like all the songs, but the whole album is great. I think that this is the first absolutely unknown for me that really deserved 5 stars.

SUBLIME

Amazing 😻 I love it

I can listen to this album on repeat. High-level vocals, great melodies, easy to listen.

I have always been hypnotised by this album!! (I don't only love it because we share a name). I cannot believe his voice, my brain actually cannot compute that that is his voice, especially on this version of Lilac Wine. I admire Leonard Cohen in a different way, and his poem, Hallelujah, is obviously legendary, also love the way he performs it. However, I love Jeff Buckley's version and you can't make me decide which I prefer. I'm not one of these purists who needs it to be Cohen only though, I grew up with Jeff's version and I find it mesmerising. This whole album is orgasmic and stunning. To me, it is pure perfection.

Well its obviously a K town 5 star banger! I'm delighted this is on the list. I love this album and think its a piece of art. Certain music snobs write off Buckles because of Hallelujah cos they're sick of it or whatnot, but I don't even care about that song. Listen to "Lover you should have come over" - one of my favourite songs of all time and musically exceptional. Mad chord progressions and the tension and epicness - I can barely handle it. Beautiful album. Love you Jeffy B

A magnificent piece of work. Such a good sound but still very varied. What a talent.

Allein die erste Nummer ging schon mega unter die Haut. Mit einem überraschend wuchtigen Aufbau! Ich kannte ja nur die Cover Version von Halleluja, aber der kann ja auch noch viel mehr! Sehr beeindruckender Einsatz der Stimme! Toller Gitarrensound und ausgefallenes Arrangement!

Geggjað stöff.

For some reason, the vocal speaks to me. I like it's ever-changing nature, going back and forth from low-key speak-singing to high-pitch wailing, switching between acoustic guitars and heavy fuzzy riffs, and so on. Interestingly, this album's lower BPM makes it even more relatable. Cool.

This album is an all time classic

First time listening, re-listened 1.5 more times after. Heartfelt and haunting.

There aren’t enough stars for this album. Beautiful, haunting, powerful soaring melodies over intricate guitar lines and driving rhythms. There’s not a bad song here, Lilac Wine & So Real are my favs

mojo pin 4/5 grace 4/5 last goodbye 4.5/5 lilac wine 4/5 so real 4.5/5 hallelujah 5/5 lover you should come over 4.5/5 corpus christi carol 3.5/5 eternal life 3.5/5 dream brother 4/5 forget her 5/5 (fav track) overall 85% !

Discovered this one in college through a friend and it really floored me the first time I heard it in a way that only a handful of albums ever have. I was a little obsessed with it for awhile and tried to spread the love for it to anyone I came in contact with. Of course, like many intensely emotional albums, I associate this one pretty strongly with an equally intense relationship I was in at the time which has long since ended. So, I don't revisit this one often for that reason because it calls up some fairly painful memories, but it doesn't diminish this album's power for me in the least. I enjoy the first few songs for their strong dynamics but the first song on the album to really gives me goosebumps is "Lilac Wine." His voice is so powerfully emotive that I find it is more effective in a sparer arrangement. It's funny, normally with most singers I wouldn't enjoy the way the vocals are so intimately recorded with nearly every breath audible and presented so front and center in the mix but his voice is such a marvel that I enjoy soaking up every detail. Then of course you get to his cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" which is one of those rare songs where his interpretation is so masterful that it has become the definitive version in my eyes, in the same way that something like Jimi Hendrix's version of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" eclipses its original. His ability to see the power inside that song and draw every last ounce of emotion out of it is not only a stroke of genius but also an amazing feat of talent in its flawless execution. It left me nearly breathless the first time I heard it.

Great album. Very soulful, cool edgy punk tones. Eternal life is a major highlight than never landed in the mainstream unfortunately.

There was nothing like this album at that time. Maybe even now. All special, very melodic and interesting structured songs. A unique voice.

Solo el trio Grace, Last Goodbye y Lilac Wine ya se merecen 4 estrellas **** pero con maravillas como el Hallelujah o Eternal Life toca el cielo. ¡Qué bien cantaba! ¡Qué bien componía! ¡Qué bien tocaba la guitarra! ¿Cómo puede darte tanta pena que se vaya alguien a quien no conoces?

i hope one day i can express my emotions in a level that comes close to this and encapsulate a moment in my life in a way thats truly eternal.

I hadn't listened to this album in full since the day we found out he had died. I was backpacking around Europe and was drinking cheap sangria in a cheap resort bar in the foothills of Florence. The fellow Aussie I had made friends with convinced the bartender to play his copy of Grace on the stereo. Man what a talent that was lost. Not a huge fan, mostly again by the glut of imitators who followed Buckley (badly) and the over zealous fans who worshipped him to the exclusion of all else. That said, I can appreciate his artistry and his skill as a singer song writer and performer

An incredibly raw and moving album.

Loved it, especially the song “Hallelujah”.

I've loved this album for years. Jeff Buckley's songwriting, singing, and guitar playing are immaculate. There are so many great moments on this album. The song "Grace" is eerily prophetic, mixing uplifting music with lyrics such as "Well it's my time coming/I'm not afraid/afraid to die" "And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come/It reminds me of the pain I might leave/leave behind" and "And I feel them drown my name/So easy to know and forget with this kiss/I'm not afraid to go/but it goes so slow." Those last lines are incredibly tragic given how he died. I always loved the frantic, rocking "Eternal Life" followed by the mysterious sounding "Dream Brother" (love the guitar line). "Last Goodbye" is heartbreaking and beautiful. That song, along with "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" hit a bit too close to home...I listened to this album a lot during a tough period in my life. Buckley's lyrics really hit hard on that feeling of love lost. I don't listen to the album much these days mainly because it pulls me back to feelings I've long since moved on from, but nothing changes the fact that this is a gorgeous, powerful album from an incredibly talented musician who was lost too soon.

A classic from my own life experience, and a beautiful voice taken too soon. "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" will ring out on my heartstrings forever.

pretty solid too bad he drowned

Classic. Predicted the Bends perhaps… 🧐

One of the best albums of the 90s

When I saw the album, I felt like I had heard this artist before and possibly this album, not 100% sure if I have but still sat through the album to give it a listen. Grace sounds quite personal, almost like his letter to death or maybe a i'm here and not getting knocked down anymore, type of album.

Maravilloso! Una delicia musical

i like

It's cool, I only wanted to be emotionally devastated this afternoon, all good.

the stand-out songs are classics

Nije za svaku priliku ali masterpiece.

Sexy choir boy J-Bux absolutely tears me apart every time I listen to this. So much variation in style but it feels all part of the whole. It's a strange album in that respect, a mix of covers and J-buck originals and jumps around from song to song leaving you wondering what the ef heck style is this. The covers are probably the most effective with the exception of Lover You Should've Come Over, which never fails to delight from the light accordion opening to the wailing, screaming finish. Hallelujah is heinously overplayed but it's an absolute marvel what he did with Leonard's soulful but shlucky (dare I say it?!) original. It's a wonder of the modern world. Lilac wine and Corpus Christi carol are beautiful wisps of magic floating into your ear canals from another universe. It's an album unlike any other I know. The highs are so high in this that it makes up for the last couple of songs that don't match the standard in the rest of it. It's been a delight listening again.

Like Nick Drake before him, this was a bard unsung in his time. Truly ephemeral.

Awesome album. Love it.

Of course we all know Hallelujah, but up to now I've never knowingly heard anything else by Jeff Buckley. From the first song, it took me by surprise. It's a lot rockier and carries a lot more breadth and depth than I had expected. Far short of a one-hit wonder, this album incorporates a surprisingly wide rang of styles which are all transposed with a high degree of proficiency. After I thought I'd already heard the full range of Jeff Buckley, the album hit me with Corpus Christi Carol then followed by Eternal Life. All in all this is a really good album I'm sure I will revisit.

Rating: 10/10 Best songs: all

Fantastic album. Buckley has got a great voice, love the variety in the album, all-around very good!

Both lyrics ad melody were beautiful. Made me cry, specially knowing his story

Really love it

Objectivity is usually the name of the game with these things, but then personal tastes often dictate otherwise, and the shark fin of subjectivity approaches the beach of impartiality ready for a partisan ambush. That's where I am with this record. Jeff Buckley's Grace is, simply, one of my favourite albums of all time. I don't even need to listen to it today to familiarise myself with anything. But I will, because, attempting to cast aside any bias, it really is amazing. The first time I heard this record, it was lent to me by my musically accomplished Uncle, who not so much lent me the album but implored me to listen to it. As a headstrong 14 year old with a penchant for loud guitars, I was ready to dismiss this record as middle aged dinner party music. As soon as the opening jangling of 'Mojo Pin' crept in, it was evident that I had to rethink. In fact, this was the record that made me really think about music, rather than just enjoy it. I suppose it sparked the artist in me. Other records would too - Kid A and the arrival of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club made me think like a musician - but none of this would have been possible without Grace. That's the reason for the bias, but thus doesn't have to be based on nepotism. Regardless of what I might say, this really is a great record. Every song is like a beautiful chapter in a transcendental bible, every composition as unique and esoteric as the last, delivered with soulful indulgence, triumph, sorrow, panache, and, grace itself. People will, quite rightly, talk about the voice, but the guitar playing from both Jeff and Michael Tighe is absolutely dialled in. These are songs crafted and delivered with pinpoint artisanship; 'Last Goodbye' runs the gauntlet of human emotions, 'Grace' invites - no, drags - you into a chaotic dream where you dodge raindrops the size of guitar strings, culminating in that iconic high note from the pit of Buckley's soul, his cover of 'Lilac Wine' haunts your psyche, 'So Real' takes you back into the dream you thought you escaped. By the time he's put his own inimitable stamp on Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' (the crown jewel of the album), the opening organ of 'Lover You Should've Come Over' is a welcome respite until that, too, leads you into a cascading crescendo. Just when you think you've got away with it through a delightful rendition of 'Corpus Christi Carol', he plays his live ace in the hole - 'Eternal Life' blows you away with a sonic explosion. An album as beautiful as this can't end on a rollicking firecracker like this, so he soothes you and sends you home happy with 'Dream Brother'. But, like all great experiences, it leaves you savouring what you've just witnessed and wanting more of the same. Jeff Buckley died in 1997 after being swept away by a Mississippi current in a swimming accident, leaving behind the bare bones of a second album. That, too, is very good. However, if a man leaves behind a legacy of just one album, then that man can do a lot worse - and not much better - than Jeff Buckley's Grace.

Great album, full of emotion and great instrumentation

Listened to this during my college days. Forgot how wonderful it is.

only complaint is it was i little long but it was really good

Awesome! Front to back I’m ashamed I haven’t listened to this more

En mi vida había escuchado el nombre Jeff Buckley, pero escuchar este disco fue una sorpresa muy agradable. Me gustó mucho todo el tono del álbum y suena un poco como una mezcla entre grunge y un poco de Radiohead. Una lástima que sea el único álbum que hizo.

The first album that's come up on this website so far that I already know and really like. Classic imo, grace is my favourite track. Least favourite probably Hallelujah but that's just because we had to sing it in secondary school once and that ruined it

Wish he was alive :(

Classic

Pensé que iba a estar medio tame cuando vi la portada, pero me sorprendió gratamente que tiene muchos momentos heavys. Canción que más me prendió: So Real está brutalona. Mood: breakdown

No conocía nada de Jeff Buckley y su tragedia, pero este discazo me encantó. Tampoco sabía que necesitaba otro cover de "Hallelujah" en mi vida, pero aquí está. Todo me gustó: letras, música, la voz de este wey (QEPD) y el mood en general. A veces es todo lo que pido en música que no es precisamente alegre. Ahora pienso que Gaz Coombes se inspiró mucho en este disco para su "Matador". Canciones que más me gustaron: "Grace", "So Real", "Lover, You Should've Come Over" y "Eternal Life". 10/10

loved it

Un album impressionant, bon auteur compositeur interprete, tres eclate et bonne reprise de hallelujah. Je vais y revenir 5*

Always great. One of my favorites

Clara influencia de Muse y Starsailor, por nombrar a algunos. Discazo. No sé como nunca le había puesto atención pero sí me convenció. Eternal Life y Grace son las mejores. 4.5 que voy a subir a 5 porque sí está bien bonito.

Obviously 5 stars

An all time favorite

I've always loved this album ever since hearing Hallelujah. Such powerful vocals and guitar playing, it's such a tragedy we lost him so young. Highlights: -Grace -Lilac Wine -Hallelujah -Lover, You Should Have Come Over

Loved this as much as every other time I’ve heard it

orgasm music

RIP Jeff Buckley

This is a great album. What a great singer. My favorite songs were Mojo Pin, Hallelujah, and Lover You Should've Come Over. Sad to see that he passed away and this is his only album.

Absolutamente fantástico, pero soy muy estricto con los 5, sería un 4,5 seguro

와우

stole this from my parents’ cd collection, also just got my first tim buckley album last week woah… one time i was sitting in my room at night listening to so real and i remember feeling like i was in the outro scene of an episode of house

Really expressive voice. The quieter bits and the heavier guitars work well together.

I had heard Hallelujah and expected the album to be similar, but was pleasantly surprised by the energy of the album.

I've been listening to this inattentively in the background for parts of the past two days thinking this is quite good.

Pretty easygoing on the ears. Reminds me of The Cure

I've had this album on CD for years but never really connected with it. Loved listening to it today though. Really strong all the way through. He was an outstanding performer. Feel this could grow to a 5 with some more listens.

Never listened to this before, it was better than I thought it would be. Enjoyed it

This is another CD I got back when it came out, thanks to all of the glowing reviews. As with many albums from that time period, I didn't give it too many listens as I had small children and little ability to really give albums like this the time to sit with me. Thus I didn't think much of it, and didn't revisit it after his death. Giving this a listen today, I totally understand the love. No matter what type of music one likes, there's something here for you. In some cases this isn't such a great thing, but in this one I thought it worked very well. And regardless of that, his emotions were laid out in every song. Standouts for me were Last Goodbye, Hallelujah, Lover You Should Come Over, Eternal Life (hell yeah), and Forget Her. This is a 4.5 album that I don't know if I can give a 5 to, but we will see.

8/10. A powerful album, it combines rock and melancholy very well, elliciting strong emotions upon listening. Every song feels like it could be the closing track, which shows the power of the album as a whole. Excellent work, it's disappointing he didn't survive long enough to see how beloved his work would become.

This album was... nice. At times it rocks, at times it eases back. We feel the echo of Leonard Cohen on Hallelujah, and of Rush on Eternal life. It feels like Christian rock but it's not really; the sentiments are much more broad. "I want to love everyone." I wouldn't listen to it a lot, but it would be OK as driving music.

Never heard of this musician until today and after looking into him and listening to his only album, this was a talented life cut short. I am suitably impressed by his songwriting and diversity. An excellent diamond in the rough find by the makers of this list.

God, this man had a gorgeous voice. It is rare to find an album on this list that I listen to for days, and can't wait to dig into the rest of the discography. I am happy to have learned about Jeff Buckley this week. today is 9/11/26...never forget.

Album started off a bit slow for me but is turning in the second half for the better. Grace was good. Great version of Hallelujah. Loved Lover, You Should've Come Over. Eternal Life was really good. Overall this isn't my daily driver type of album but damn if it wasn't really good despite that. I'd do it again for sure

There's undeniable talent and prowess all over this album: "Lover..." is a classic, "Hallelujah" set the standard, and Buckley's cover of "Lilac Wine" is almost as good as Nina Simone's.

Such a varied album with so many textures. Harder than I remember it with its grunge-adjacent tracks. The Hallelujah cover is a standout. The most impressive part of the album is his voice.

mostly interesting

This was ok. It grew on me. Made me want to watch Shrek.

Now, I heard one day, that "if you don't cry to *Lover, You Should've Come Over*, you don't have a soul". Did I cry to *Lover, You Should've Come Over*? No, I did not. Did I cry at any part of the album? No, I did not. Did I enjoy listening through the entire album? Not all of it, because I was on a flight and I was fighting with some of the strongest cramps I ever felt in my life. (I'm alright now) Do I think I still have a soul tho? I sincerely hope I do. っ ̯ -。 Do I think that this album is very emotional, very well done, and it deserves the recognition it gets? Yes, I do. Absolutely do. Even if my first listen through was quite chaotic, I believe when I listen to this album for a second time, when I'm both mentally and physically in a calmer state, I will be able to enjoy it and maybe feel more emotional through it. Until then, this was an interesting experience.

4.5 Melancholic, strong vocals, never now their next move.

A haiku: What a 90s gem. So sad I had to Google Young Jeff’s cause of death.

Hallelujah is worth the price of admission.

two funny things about this album: one, I discovered it (and by extension Jeff Buckley) when i googled "hallelujah shrek" because someone incorrectly, but thankfully, attributed Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" to Shrek (2001). Incidentally, it was actually John Cale in the film and Rufus Wainwright on the official CD. Neither are nearly as good. So I'm thankful someone on the internet was wrong when I was 8 years old. second: it is true, I think, that there is nothing new under the sun. Buckley, and this album specifically, are experiencing a Gen Z renaissance. My students *love* Buckley rn, and especially "Lilac Wine," "Grace," and "Hallelujah." Lots of tshirts floating around with his face on them also. actually, a third funny thing i thought about: a couple years ago, one of my students wore a shirt with this album art screen printed on the front, and another student asked if "James Franco recorded an album [she] didn't know about"

this guy could sing dang

Would have been great to see him continue to grow into it, but a great (only) album from Jeff Buckley. So Real, Eternal Life, Forget Her, and of course Hallelujah are particular highlights.

Enjoyed a lot, really liked his voice, apparently he died quite young sadly

Only skip on the whole album to me was hallelujah. Weird. Otherwise insanely beautiful. So much emotion in every single song through singing but also build ups and tone. This was his only studio album? What?!

Primero que todo, como se parece el cantante en esta foto a Martiño Rivas (el internado) segundo, me he escuchado principalmente las que tienen mas reproducciones, no me parecen gloria bendita pero me han dejado suavecita, ole las guitarricas de dia nublado sensual.

There are a lot of different styles on this album and I don't think they all quite cohere completely but on an individual level, all the songs are really great but the album itself gets a 4.5/5

Czekałam aż ta płyta pojawi się w zestawieniu i doczekałam się. Zasłużone pochwały. Bardzo podobała mi się różnorodność w muzyce, ale jednocześnie spójność w całości. No i w końcu ta wrażliwość w słowach i nastroju. Piękna płyta, będę wracać.

I have only knew Jeff Buckley because of "Hallelujah". I assumed that the whole album would be similar stuff. I was pleasantly surprised to here some really cool sounds! Mojo Pin, So Real, and Forget Her.

послушайте хоть шото кроме халилуи бля

he's an angel, in voice and spirit.

Don't love it as much as some people but it's pretty good aye

Always a great listen

God what a beautiful voice. Folky and soft. A good album to listen to when you’re in your 20s, living in London, and feeling a bit miserable and lost in life.

Really lovely work—from start to finish. Shame on me for never having paid attention before! (What was I listening to instead?!) Buckley’s cover of “Hallelujah” is essential, of course, but there’s so much more here, including a brilliant “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over.” Swoon. 4.5?

My first listen to this famous album. I can hear the influence on Thom Yorke! Nice record although I prefer the more understated vocals.

So much more varied than I was expecting it to be. His voice is obviously fantastic, but there’s also some really nice guitar and just some lovely arrangements. Definitely one for a sadder day. It feels so boring of me to pick Hallelujah as my favourite song but it just is. Could’ve done without the hymn tbh, although it’s pretty cool that the earliest version of the hymn we have is from the 1500s. Feels a bit jarring to go from that track to the next one. Fav song: Hallelujah Least fav: Corpus Christi Carol

Great album. Sad that this was his only one. Really nice sound throughout, and liver you should have come over is one of my fav songs of all time. Hallelujah has been shreked but that’s not his fault I guess. Specific rating - 4.4 Fav song - lover, you should have come over Least fav- Corpus Christi carol

His voice is incredible, just a gorgeous album really. Steve Backshall and Gillian Anderson both picked songs off this album for their desert island discs. Favourite song: Grace Least: Corpus Christi Carol

sehr nettes album, schon einige tracks in den playlists

Many listens. Highlights- Grace, Hallelujah, Lover, you Should’ve Come Over. Lowlights- Jeff’s premature death. What a fantastic voice and guitar player.

me da pereza escribir una review.

I loved JB and this album so much, when it came out I LOST MY MIND - 32yrs later and I can clearly remember seeing a video for Last Goodbye and was full on hooked - found the info, found the release date, ran to the record store when it came out - I was so overjoyed by the purchase that I tripped down the stairs (Mike you know the St Ercolano steps /via oberdan in Perugia) and skinned my knee bc I was reading the liner notes instead of paying attn. Cracked the cd cover I was so pissed lollll.. his voice so much richer and emotional than his dad's - for me this record is beautiful, touching, sweet, melancholy (Hallelujah best Cohen cover ever) but also powerful - he had sthg to say! Faves are Last Goodbye and Lover you should've come over but the whole thing is wonderful. He was a shooting star, gone so soon and so stupidly. Decided to go for a swim in the Mississippi (!?) w all his clothes on and drowned 29yrs ago. Tragic shame. I give it a 4 bc 5 is the emotional attachment I have to this album :)

I had always heard of this artist, but never listened to the whole album. One can’t help but wonder what could’ve been with such a unique talent as him. He is brilliant when he rocks and equally as brilliant when he croons.

Ecstatic prayers to the unknown.  It's intriguing to think what could have been but better accept this is what is.  an artist who had something to say and a unique way to say it captured in a moment. Sometimes the ephemeral loves forever.

Yes, this is a great voice, and these songs bring it to the emotional and sonic front it deserves. A certain melancholy pervades here, not least because we know his tragic death is imminent--a song that intones "this is our last goodbye" invokes an urgency that is heartbreaking. So live on with us.

There's something about the material that doesn't suck me in, but there's no denying Buckley's insane talent, which is why this gets the 4-star. He doesn't seem out to impress, exactly, so he sings within the boundaries of the music, but his capacities as a vocalist are impossible to miss. Sounds to me that Jack White must be a fan of Buckley's vocal style, I heard some things that sounded reminiscent.

Man that guy could sing. I love this record. I love how weird it is. That first tune is practically a prog track. The band is pretty killer here, too. Those guitars sound really muscular one second and ethereal the next. So why not 5 stars? Well, there are enough weak tracks on here for me to dock it one star. But then again, I certainly listen to songs from this album quite a bit more than I listen to some of the other five star albums I've reviewed, so... yeah, I'm sticking with a 4 but the best songs are certainly 5-star songs.

Loved this

One of those albums that I can’t judge objectively. Too many years with this to really compare it with other albums on the list. Even then, I still don’t think it’s a perfect album except when I am in the right mood for it.

The epitome of a heartbreak. Strangely it reminds me both of Led Zeppelin and Muse.

An absolutely haunting album.

pretty good! one of my friends (Ari) loves Jeff Buckley and it so happened that this was the first album that was generated for me. I like it, he's sort of rockstar Orpheus from Hadestown vibes.

Yearning final boss

There are moments on this album that feel quite timeless (“Hallelujah,” “So Real”) and others that feel too much like a 90’s time capsule (“Grace,” “Eternal Life”). But the whole album is united by powerful and affecting performances.

"Contempt Prior To Investigation" I did not see this album as being enjoyable or any good. I wrote it off as being cringy and simple. While there are certainly moments that feel "Top 40", this listener can't deny the Buckley's vocal range or creative talent. To be able to croon like Nina Simone and then break out in a grunge fueled rage.

Buckley ran so OneRepublic (Ryan Tedder) could walk.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lyssnade på albumet när jag var yngre och hade svårt att ta till mig det då. Det var framförallt Hallelujah jag gillade men var inte något större fan av resten och hade svårt att förstå hur albumet kunde vara så hyllat. Nu så här ganska många år äldre uppskattar jag albumet mycket mer men tycker nog fortfarande inte det är det här toppalbumet som det ibland lyfts till. Jag saknar lite dynamik mellan spåren, som det är nu så är det endast Eternal life som andas grunge och avviker från övriga spår. Dock ett fantastisk imponerande debutalbum och en stor förlust att det bara blev ett album från Jeff Buckley, det blir en 4a. Bäst är Mojo pin, Grace, So real, Hallelujah, Eternal life, Forget her

Made me think about so many red gate nights in Vancouver where all the dad bands sing

Wow, this album really impressed me. His voice is beautiful, but the guitar playing is next level. I have always heard people talk about JB in such high regard, starting today I will too.

he has such a beautiful falsetto and he freakin loved nusrat fateh ali khan... interestingly on this listen of Grace I think for the first time i heard and understood just how explosive this album was for the alternative rockers of the 90s... it totally clicked how much thom yorke's vocal stylings are borrowed from jeff b... monumental and huge album. really tragic that him and his dad combined didnt live past 60... lots of talent in these buckley boys.

Wasn’t expecting this one to be this good, had some hits for sure

Ett namn man absolut känner igen, men endast från en enda låt. Kanske inte var i rätt sinnesstämning för denna, albumet har en ganska komplicerat och halvdeppig stämning. Typ lite likt Radiohead? Den har verkligen sina stunder, och innehåller också den otroliga låten Hallelujah (cover på original av Leonard Cohen) som typ varenda människa måste ha hört. Passade på att läsa lite snabbt om Jeff, och det blev tydligen bara detta studioalbum. Han var 30 år när han dog, under en spontan simtur med kläderna på så försvann han och drunknade i svallvågorna från en passerande lotsbåt i Mississippi. Han hittades efter fem dagar. Ingen alkohol ett droger i blodet. Sjukt? Om jag tar hänsyn till hur min sinnesstämning är idag så får det nog bli en trea. Men! Det går man försöka faktorera ut, och för vad albumet är i sin helhet så kan jag nog inte ge något annat än en fyra. Om inte Hallelujah varit med hade det blivit en trea, även om det är en cover :)

This was not one to listen to on day 3 of a period. Was going to write it off, but tried it again a couple of days later, and actually really enjoyed it. Sorry for doubting you, Jeffers.

Already knew and listened to this whole album. A sentimental favorite. So this was a happy revisit :)

I think this is a really good album, but I do feel even though it’s not long it feels a bit bloated. It feels sacrilegious to say so but I was expecting a bit more I guess which is unfortunate.

Gives old school indie vibes - on those days maybe yes, but for now not what I need

This is generally really pleasant. Excellent guitars and bass, and while I don't always enjoy Jeff's voice, it's often really nice. The version of "Hallelujah" is excellent. The styles are a little all over the place but it doesn't bother me too much. I like some of the harder rocking tracks.

Yeaaah classic, better with an intentional listening session. Better with multiple listens, always new bits and pieces that stand out and grab my attention

not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue

It was a good album. Between liked it and really liked it. 3.5.

Muy weno, la voz chula

Amazing vocals. Need a relisten

Fantastic singing and just a great album overall

I had already listened to this one. Classic. Perhaps a bit monotone to a certain degree, which some questionable stylistic decisions here and there. But a solid album.

Fantastic album! His voice is soulful and unique. Found Lover I Should Have Come Over such a long time ago but never got to listen to the whole album. Favorites were So Real and Lilac Wine.

Not gonna lie…I thought this was going to be better. I know it’s regarded as an all timer but it seemed far from perfect for me. Like there was potential to be great but only half of it was truly great. I’ll need to revisit but for now this is middle of the road.

A fine album - a bit somber at times and not my particular taste, but I enjoyed the few songs I listened to and Hallelujah is still beautiful.

Als ich angefangen habe mich für Musik zu interessieren war Buckley schon tot und diese gefühlige laut/leise americana/grunge Inszenierung schon von lauter schlechten Bands zu Grabe getragen worden. Dafür kann Jeff Buckley nichts, aber für mich sind die sehr starken Songs und die Stimme völlig unter der schlechten 90er Produktion verschwendet... So ein bisschen wie bei den Janis Joplin Alben wo man das Gefühl hat die wollten auf Teufel komm raus im Studio was anderes machen.

This album definitely has a slow start! I’m not against it so far per se, but I’m not enjoying it as much as I’d like to. Mojo pin as an opener is just so slowww. Grace was definitely a lot more enjoyable! It had some sort of drive to it which was appreciated! Last goodbye was a joy. The exact type of song I like. Lilac wine was quite pretty. So real was very repetitive, but I thought it was fine. I honestly didn’t expect to hear Hallelujah, but this is the famous cover of it, so I guess I’m not surprised. Lover you should come over now was pretty good! I didn’t expect a carol next, didn’t really love it, but it was there Again I didn’t have a chance to finish my track by track but I loved the rest of the album. Really repented itself from that first track. 4/5 ⭐️ 199/1089

Achingly beautiful, retrospectivelly tragic, sadly overwrought.

What a voice

Never listened to this but I was impressed! More rock oriented than I expected.

One of the best ALBUMs of all time. Truly a relic of a time when artists made songs for an album and not just singles for radio. Jeff was one of the greatest singers of all time and his untimely death after this one album is tragic.

Rewriting this review because i found myself reflecting on this album and feeling bad about likening Jeff Buckley to Mick Hucknall. Will listen again and meantime his versions of Lilac Wine and Hallelujah are staying with me.

Jeff Buckley delivered an album that is so earnest, without pretense and with so much emotion. That is the absolute strength of this album. You wouldn’t question that he feels every single word he sings on here deeply. Musically, Buckley created great tension and ebbs and flows withing the songs that take the listener along. Both the instruments and his singing build up to a climax on many songs that’s a cathartic moment of release. That’s exemplified best by songs like Mojo Pin, Grace and So Real - an absolute rush of emotions. I love the way his vocals build up and get overtaken by emotion, be it passion, desperation or longing. I also love the song that get more aggressive musically, like Eternal Life, though I am not sure if his vocal delivery works there for me. I prefer it on the more alternative leaning songs. Now the covers… I’m not sure about them. Lilac Wine is good, his voice works really well on here. I just cannot listen to Hallelujah anymore - especially not for almost seven minutes. Yes, he does a good version of it, but that song is so overdone, i cannot appreciate it anymore. Corpus Christi Carol didn’t do anything for me, maybe because i have no religious connection to it. Overall a great album! It’s tragic that it would be his only one.

I hadn't listened to this in 15+ years, and I casually decided to listen to it yesterday. And today I am getting it as the album of the day, what sorcery is this? Anyway, I never loved this album too much, it's just ok.

Some of the songs are heavier than I thought for Jeff Buckley. One of the best Hallelujah covers.

While listening, I kinda liked this album, but it was too hard to finish, so I didn't. It's not bad, though. A few tracks made it onto my playlist.

I knew this album would turn up eventually. I was kinda expecting it to be mostly soft rock. what I didnt realise how hugely influential it would be on later alt rock bands like Radiohead, Muse and early coldplay. Three bands that wouldn't be as well known if Jeff Buckley kept going throughout the 90s and into the 2000s. Due to a tragic accident we will never know how much of an impact he would have had on the 21st century. So I do agree with everyone that this is a pretty damn good album, even though a few of the slower songs don't quite appeal to me. Not going to stop me from giving it a high rating though.

Awesome

Aahhhh! How do you rec me this beautiful album first 💔

Sprookjesachtig mooi

8.5 out of 10

Beautiful music!! I have liked his version of Hallelujah for a long time.

I've attempted to appreciate and/or enjoy this album a few times over the years. When I first heard it, I was put off by the wailing vocal style, but having listened to it twice more for this project, I think it's growing on me. Jeff Buckley strives for beauty (and indeed, grace), and I don't think we get enough of that, certainly not in rock music. The world really has no shortage of talented musicians, but the ability to capture and transmit this level of emotional resonance is rare.

Passionate , stunning voice what a pitty to go so young

Хороший альбом, особенно вторая часть альбома дала мне понять суть альбома, насколько он хорош.

A great album.

What can I say? I think Grace only touched the surface of this dude’s talent. It’s tragic that his potential was cut short. 4.4

Beautiful, haunting melodies complimented by Jeff's dulcet tones.

It’s a classic. Never listened to it all the way through, think he has great musical talent but don’t love his specific tone. Lover, you should have come over has always been a staple for me but I added dream brother and hallelujah too. Haunting, unique, soulful, I liked it

Album na smutki, przypomniał mi mój #tumblr era xd

no ładne, ładne

Teenager me would have been obsessed over this album

Mojo pin intro sounds like thom Yorke stole whole career from.

au top du top 8/10 a ne pas ecouter en public (trop connu pour que les gens ne connaissent l'emotion procuree par cet album😔😔)

Absolutely insane voice, really enjoyed the album. The music throughout was great too!

i liked this. it was DRAMATIC!

Started off a 3 but I think Hallelujah and Lover, You Should've Come Over and Eternal Life justify an extra star.

One of the best songs of all time is on this album.

Ranging from 90s alt rock to melancholy crooning. The Hallelujah cover is the best thing on the album, though possibly because I'm already familiar with it. Overall, I like it and would listen again.

Una joya (lo que me flipa es que el “arquitecto” haya tenido que repetir a Elvis Costello 4 veces, Slipknot 2 veces, a Tom Waits, Bob Marley antes que poner este puto disco que es ❤️‍🩹)

I'd never heard any other track on this album than Hallelujah. What a beautiful voice we lost. Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah > Leonard Cohen's. It's not even close.

Jeff has the voice of an angel. was a little surprised how 90s this album sounds

Not usually into this style, but it was pretty good. 3.5/5 maybe a 4.

Mojo Pin Grace Hallelujah Lover, You Should Come Over Eternal Life
