5/5

Absolutely amazing album. I was warm going in and almost ended up in tears about a breakup I never had. The absolute pipes on this woman!

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

An album stuck in 1 the 90's and seen as trashy now. You can see it's influence on modern hip hop.

A truly beautiful album only heightened by the loss of Jeff Buckley. I went in feeling a 4 having heard the album before but on a really focused listen it has some songs so undeniable you can't rate lower
