Andy buckley 90s1/17/2024 Katy: I read that he has the same vocal range as Pavarotti. I think that struck me more than anything on this listen, though I’ve listened to the album countless times over the year. You’ve just phrased my own thought far more eloquently than I did.ĭavid: I think Elliott could still happen today, but you’re right on Buckley. Both achieve a level of emotion which I think the Sheerans and Jonases of this world could only dream of.ĭavid: Maybe it’s a type of earnest emotional sincerity that feels like it broke out just before irony became king? If you compare to him the male singer-songwriters of 2017, he sounds totally different I thing the same applies to your much-loved Elliott Smith, actually. Part of it, I think, is his voice, which I can’t imagine hearing as a new sound today it’s got a weird timeless quality that actually makes if feel like it doesn’t belong in any era. Feels uniquely of its era, though I struggle to explain why. Truly remarkable.Īlso, while the music doesn’t feel dated to the 90s in the way some of the other albums we’ve discussed have, this still feels like an album that couldn’t happen today. Katy: Definitely one of my top 5 albums ever.ĭavid: It’s in my top 20, probably. 304! As if there are 303 albums that are even comparable, never mind better!ĭavid Nilsen: I like when we start with rants and then go from there.Īlso, any conversation about scones between us would probably devolve into a semantic debate about what, in fact, a scone is. I just read that Rolling Stone named Grace the 304th best album of all time. Katy Goodwin-Bates: Should we just start by saying that Grace is possibly the most beautiful album of ever and then spend the rest of the chat riffing about scones or something? I listened to the whole thing from start to finish last night and was in an ecstatic stupor by Forget Her. More 90s nostalgia today as David Nilsen and I discuss Grace by Jefd Buckley, which is quite clearly not the 304th best album of all time.
