Yeah, Its not that I didnt like the album as such I just didnt like all the songs on it.
Like I said in my previous post about the 'Grace' album, it is obvious that he has talent just by listening to it, especially the vocals as you mentioned.
Just not entirely to my taste, but enjoy.

I for one owned Grace long before Buckley's untimely death and my immediate reaction to listening to it was that I had to tell as many people about it as possible. In all honesty Buckley's death wasn't all that hyped and the popularity of Grace was mainly due to word of mouth through its fans.
In respone to 'how does one rave...'- simply because I have differing music tastes to yourself. Like I keep saying, I can recognise Buckleys talent when listening to the 'Grace' album but I would say that it is pretty mediocre on the whole bar a few tracks, but definitely not unlistenable; just not to my tase.
So sorry if he is some sort of 'untouchable god' in your world, but if I find something medicore then I will say it.

Also if you find Chris Cornell's voice 'utterly annoying' then it is just due to your taste and I could say the same thing about Buckley's voice but I dont because I dont have a jaded perception of musical talent as I have stated previously I can recognise that he has a very good vocal but the music itself isnt really my thing.
So you basically just contradicted yourself by saying that.

I can relate to your comment about hearing the album then wanting to 'tell as many people about it as possible'. This is very common when you hear an album that moves you or is so great to your ears that you have to tell people about it. Personally, I had a lend of a copy and it didnt do much for me TBH.
