Reviews
Highly Recommended - "...If Buckley continues to evolve in the direction that GRACE indicates, only good things can result...", 9 (out of 10) - "...Just for once, the child of a star looks capable of transcending the family legacy. From here on in, the sky's the limit...", Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Included on Stephen Holden's list of the Top 10 Albums Of '94 - "...The year's most impressive solo debut.", Ranked #1 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "There is no place yet for the places he and his voice can go.", 4 stars out of 5 - "Marvel at the awesome original album, still brimming with the sound of a soul trying to have its say while there's still a chance.", 5 stars out of 5 - "Ten years on and remastered, GRACE sounds more swoopingly lyrical and breathlessly eclectic than ever.", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...This is no pretty folk LP, it's a powerful album of unlocked emotions, poetry and drama, where ringing guitar and driving drums mix with swaying spartan tenderness and almost awkward rhythmic changes...", "...A Faultless Expansion of Buckley's Solo Shows in New York Clubs...", Ranked #21 in Nme's List of the "Top 50 Albums of 1994.", Ranked #14 in Q's "Best 50 Albums of Q's Lifetime", Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", Ranked #23 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll., 4 stars out of 5 - "He hit his stride via covers and the barest outlines of songs. And LEGACY is padded out with most of this difficult journey.", "...A Dreamy and Original Set Of Songs....Too Good to Be True..."-Rating: A+, "'Mojo Pin' was how he introduced himself as a rock artist, one who could write bruising, massive songs that transcended the folk ballads he was initially known for....No one in music history has ever had the sort of range Buckley displays in that single scream, let alone on the full song, which is simultaneously full of rage and gentle subtlety.", Included in Mojo's "25 Best Albums of 1994" - "...Audacious, adventurous, often tear-jerkingly beautiful and spiritually rousing, GRACE has it all...", Recommended - "...It's a voice that leaps tall buildings in a single bound, smells of sex and Chanel and never stoops to showboating...", Ranked #3 in Ew's "Top 10 Albums of the '90s", 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Buckley's got huge ears and an even bigger record collection: He jumbles jazz, R&B, blues and rock references with such apparent nonchalance that he can seem like a showoff...", Ranked #12 in the Nme "Top 30 Heartbreak Albums".
