This album has some of the best songs I've heard in my life. Jeff Buckley seems to sneak into your veins until he reaches your heart and soul, and stays deep within you long after the song is over. Before I heard this album completely, I always assumed Grace referred to a person, a woman's name, and not the noun itself. Realizing that it is actually grace as a noun that gives the album its name adds a whole new depth to the record. Themes of death are constant throughout the work, and ... read more
This album is deeply characterized by Dolores’ vocal range and emotional performance. She is definitely the star of the show. The lyrics, although profound and mesmerizing, are not even necessary for the listener to get in the mood. She could just be making sound throughout the whole record and it would still be groundbreaking because of how talented she was.
The mixing is part of this too, as it keeps building without necessarily driving us into the drop we usually expect. I think this ... read more
I wish I had liked this album more. This is a style I'm usually into, the sound in general is good and something that I could enjoy. His voice, I believe, is really good for this type of music, it just fits with the indie vibe. However, the record was underwhlemming, it feels as if he had a clear concept of what he wanted to convey but fell short on it and wasn't truly able to express all of it. I liked Objection! and Choose the latter the most out of all the songs.

The art of loving is… I cannot think of a word good enough to encapsulate the feeling this record transmits. It’s laying on the sand on a sunny day, the warm feeling on your skin that isn’t suffocating at all, just pleasant. Like being tipsy on a night out with friends, laughing about anything and everything and knowing you can just dive into the moment and forget anything else. It’s warm in a way that comes from deep within the soul. Just like love, this album ... read more
The album gives insight into a relationship that, even if already finished, hasn’t really ended. Conan shares his experience of a (toxic) relationship he can’t really get over: he goes from wanting to end it but missing him, to wanting him back, to saying he doesn’t care, to admitting he’s still stuck on them, to acknowledging that the relationship was toxic and bad for him but feeling as if he deserves it. All these ups and downs through the break up seem to be mirrored ... read more
