Grace - Snatam Kaur

Advantages: Grace, buckley, sensational voice and lyrics, an extra song
Disadvantages: Not as good as the anniversary edition, little new appeal

...This expanded version of Grace has all the original Grace tracks and "Forget her". It was released 10 years after the original Grace was released, and is veiwed in negative light by Buckley fan's as it was basically put out after the far superiour legacy edition. The opening track is Mojo pin a track co-written by Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley from there "Songs to no-one 1991-1992" album (which I've reviewed on here). A song with only a lil change in the time from which it was originally written, and it keeps Buckleys' impressive vocals that go from slow soothingly amazing to chasing like a panther through the opening line of the chorus: "Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh" The song keeps the original lyrics that shoot images into your head right through, a great opening track to a very memorable album...

Advantages: Amazing vocals, stunning melodies, overall raw emotions
Disadvantages: May not be for fans of dance, too short

...Back in 1994 when Grace was originally released it was seen as a commercial failure, but a musical hit. People from Bono (u2) to Matt Bellamy (muse) to Chris Martin (Coldplay) have held it in high esteem but why? Well since Mr Buckley's death the album's sales have outsold the original figure, as musical tastes have developed to accept it more. When it was released the public were waiting for a new Nirvana to come along, Sony pushed Jeff as the guy to fill the void, the public didn't buy it. Where as Kurt Cobains singing was seen as angsty, and venomous, Buckley's was seen as angellic with a topping of purity, much like his fathers. This didn't sit well with the Grunge crowd of the time, however as musical tastes have come to accomadate bands like Muse, Coldplay, Starsailor and Radiohead, Buckley's sales have taken off...

Advantages: consistent
Disadvantages: bar code over the back! haha

...The first i ever heard of three days grace was on the internet site launch. On this site i heard burn, i hate everything about you, and just like you and just couldn't stop listening to these three songs, so i decided to go out and buy the album. As i'd hoped, the album was consistent, and all of the songs on the album were the same genre and of just as excellent quality as the first three tracks that i'd heard. Not only did i enjoy the songs, but i was attracted by the cover; i don't know anything at all about the band, but i don't think that really matters or reflects on the quality of the music. I would say that anyone who is interested in emo/rock/alternative rock/metal would be interested in three days grace, i think that they suit a wide range of tastes, and live up to their comeptition's standards! The CD includes: 1... Read review
