An audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself. Incredible and intense masterpiece of the pop, alternative rock genres, so much so that it is difficult to describe in words its importance and communication. It does not lend itself to fad or fashion, it does not rely on social context or knowledge of the era in which it was produced to be appreciated. Just timeless.
