   His Thom Yorke interview convinced me to listen to his latest album, first thing really ever sitting down to listen to from him and it's pretty decent

   i cringe every time it comes up unless it's news about someone turning down their induction, like Dolly Parton in 2022 and Thom Yorke in 2019. there honestly aren't enough and many simply missed the ceremony but didn't object.

   Radiohead - In Rainbows [Alternative] - Rating: 4.3/10 Favourite Track: Videotape Least Favourite Track: The rest of the songs At least OK Computer had a couple of tracks that I very much enjoyed. This one was just full of mid ones. It’s still too Radioheady for me. I didn’t enjoy this album. It’s not my style and isn’t aimed at my individual music tastes. Although, I can see how it would appeal to other people. I’ve never been a fan of Thom Yorke’s voice. It just doesn’t click with me the way other vocalists do eg. Freya Ridings, Freddy Mercury, Jeff Lynne. The drums in some of the songs in the album also annoyed me because for some reason they sound electronic sometimes, and the album as a whole sounds like it has mastering issues because some of the elements are very crackly and that just annoys me. Standout Track: Videotape: The piano is cool. That’s it. Oh and it was the end of the album so I was happy to get out of it. If I could change anything it would probably be to remove the album off the face of the Earth but keep a couple of the songs. Remove the drums and make it less crackly, replace the vocalist with Freya Ridings, and change the instrumentation up a bit, maybe make it a bit more prog rock or include some more orchestral elements, that would be nice. Yeah I didn’t like it, not for me.

   Jeff Buckley - Grace [Alternative Rock] - # Grace Jeff Buckley (1994) The list of musicians who lived tragically short lives is a long one. Famously, the “27 club” features six superstars who all passed at the age of twenty seven. This includes Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, and of course Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain. Other artists of ridiculously short lives include Nick Drake, Otis Redding, and the topic of this review, Jeff Buckley. *Grace* was the first of one studio album released by Buckley and his band before his tragic death in 1997 at the age of thirty. He drowned swimming in a river during the recording of their second album, *My Sweetheart the Drunk.* A compilation album titled *Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk* would be released in his absence in 1998, containing early studio sessions for the album. Buckley might be the single most talented singer I’ve ever heard. Although that’s a pretty hard thing to quantify. Some of my favorites are Radiohead’s Thom Yorke (who was also inspired by Buckley on “Fake Plastic Trees”), Björk, and Jónsi Birgisson of Sigur Rós, all singers and artists I’ve talked about before. But in terms of raw talent and voice control, I don’t think anyone beats Jeff Buckley, at least from what I’ve heard. And that all starts with the album’s opener, “Mojo Pin.” Even before he utters the first word, his “ooooh”s show so much of his vocal talent already. This song is a testament to how well he can control his volume and pitch, jumping between octaves, hitting high notes effortlessly. His falsetto is among the best of all time, and the way he differs his vocals between essentially identical verses is what gives the song its identity. I think my favorite part of this song has to be the electric guitar. It plays such a gentle riff, but it just does *so much* for the song. It makes the rhythm section whole, and accentuates his soaring vocals during the last chorus. A “mojo pin” is a slang term for a hypodermic needle containing heroin. This is reflected by the lyrics, showing how “blind and tortured” he is without the mojo pin, and without his lover. It’s a song about addiction, but also about love and the feeling of love taken away from you. *“Don’t want to weep for you* *Don’t want to know* *I’m blind and tortured, the white horses flow* *The memories fire* *The rhythms fall slow* *Black beauty, I love you, so”* The second track, the title track, starts off with a short guitar lick before the riff starts with the rest of the instruments. As the verse starts, the guitar arpeggiates its chords beneath Buckley’s beautiful vocals. I love the main guitar riff for this song, it gives just enough rhythm, filling crucial space without taking away from Buckley’s vocal performance or being too flashy. I think in general the instrumentation on this album does a great job at highlighting the vocals, but still offering enough to be interesting for us music nerds out there. “Grace” is a song about mortality. It’s about the sadness of leaving behind a world you love, but also the inevitability and acceptance of knowing you’re going to die. It’s a fitting title track for Buckley’s first and last ever album, knowing what we know now. According to Buckley himself, he wrote the song about him saying goodbye to his girlfriend at a rainy airport. He said “It’s about not feeling so bad about your own mortality when you have true love.” *“There’s a moon asking to stay* *Long enough for the clouds to fly me away* *Well it’s my time coming, I’m not afraid, afraid to die* *My fading voice sings of love* *But she cries to the clicking of time, oh time* *Wait in the fire, wait in the fire* *Wait in the fire, wait in the fire”* While Buckley was only saying goodbye for a little bit, on that rainy day at the airport, he contrasts that with the next song: “Last Goodbye.” The lyrics of this one are pretty self-explanatory, it’s another breakup song. However, this one feels a little different. It feels like a mutually-agreed upon goodbye, not quite a breakup in a traditional sense. It’s one last embrace before they can’t be together anymore. My experience at summer camps over the years has been pretty mixed. Especially last year, when I studied mechanical engineering at a nice campus. Overall it was a great experience, though there were some... questionable things happening. Of course, when you put three hundred hormone-filled fifteen year-olds in the same campus for three weeks, there’s going to be more than a little bit of drama. Frankly, the amount of situationships made in that one go was ridiculous to me. But… I can’t help but think how great of a relationship that’d be. With only three weeks, you’re not getting past the honeymoon phase for any relationship. When you leave, it’ll only be with positive memories of the other person. Of course, that’s with the downside that you’ll have to say your last goodbyes and you’ll never see the other person again. I guess that’s the tradeoff; you can have a dreamlike relationship that ends too soon, or a real relationship and all of its complications. *“This is our last goodbye* *I hate to feel the love between us die* *But it’s over, just hear this and then I’ll go* *You gave me more to live for, more than you’ll ever know”* Some of my favorite covers of all time include Car Seat Headrest’s cover of “Running Up that Hill (A Deal With God)” by Kate Bush, Christopher O’Riley’s piano cover of Radiohead’s “Let Down,” and of course, this song. Jeff Buckley’s iteration of “Hallelujah.” Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is, of course, one of the most covered songs of all time, and one of the most recognizable of all time. Buckley’s cover features a somber electric guitar and of course his vocals. I don’t think I need to get into the song’s lyrics and what they mean, because this review is about Jeff Buckley and not Leonard Cohen (and because everyone already knows the lyrics). I’d much rather talk about Buckley’s delivery of the lyrics, that being hands down my favorite version of this song ever. I don’t think I need to explain why; the song speaks for itself. The last song I want to talk about is by far Buckley’s most famous song. Yes, it kinda got the “Let Down” treatment, blowing up on TikTok, but still his most recognizable nonetheless. “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over” is a song whose sadness rivals that of “Motion Picture Soundtrack.” Yes, I just made that comparison. And I’ve mentioned Radiohead like four times in this review. Regardless, this masterpiece starts with a harmonium playing a chord progression (actually now that I think of it, the Motion Picture Soundtrack similarities keep going) for the introduction. The main song features a simple chord progression, yet it’s still one of the most satisfying progressions out there. It builds tension with the C chord, before quickly resolving to the Em9. As you might’ve guessed, this song is another one on the subject of heartbreak. It compares the feeling of a breakup to a funeral. It talks about the feeling of “all that could’ve been” dying in one fell swoop. But as always, there’s hope with depression. *“Maybe I’m too young to keep good love from going wrong.”* Buckley remarks on his youth and foolishness coming to relationships, but he holds out hope that he’ll get better as he gets older and wiser. If only he knew just how well that would turn out for him. *“Looking out the door, I see the rain* *Fall upon the funeral mourners* *Parading in a wake of sad relations* *As their shoes fill up with water* *Maybe I’m too young* *To keep good love from going wrong* *But tonight, you’re on my mind* *So… You’ll never know”* 1.
