Come on....what I find so absolutely stunning about 'Grace' is how uninhibited emotion meets precision and imagination. I wouldn't call Jeff's music gentle either (ever heard his live take on the MC5s 'Kick out the Jams'?) I would call it very dynamic and let's face it, he had the musical chops and pipes to make it work. I sincerely believe that Jeff Buckley was too talented for his own good, there were so many directions he was going in at the same time. IMO, it was a major achievement on his and Andy Wallace's part to bring it all together with 'Grace'.

An album for eternety!
