Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Buckley does it again!!!.......2006-02-02

I don't think the amazon reviewer and I are listening to the same album ''a deteriorated voice'' i don't see any evidence of that he pushed the boundrys with further each album.(i have a live album from 1975 his voice gives me goosebumps it's so good)

I think the fact he refused to be a one trick pony and do the same album time after time to keep the critics happy might be upsetting for some people who aren't broad minded enough to except change; But for me it is just another expression of the true talent this exceptional singer had.

However if your not into your funk/soul i can understand this album not being to taste but he covered a few genre's in his short life he made nine studio albums...If you don't enjoy this check out the anthology for a overall view of his ability

4 out of 5 stars Tim`s swan song.......2005-03-29

As other reviewers have, I`m glad to see, pointed out, this has always been mystifyingly underrated (just as - despite the sublime Once I was and Morning Glory - the angular, cod-psychedelic Goodbye and Hello has perennially been much overrated). The title song is gorgeous. And Tijuana Moon opens with this breath-halting lyric, sung virtually a capella in Tim`s divine falsetto:
`The padre told me all the hymns were born
out of the saxophone...`
Wanda Lu is Louie Louie in Rio, the whole thing in fact is suffused with sultry south-of-the-border sexuality (Tim loved the ladies as much as they loved him) and its Carnival time! This is dripping with soul and sex. It`s not TB at his greatest (look to Blue Afternoon or Happy Sad, or the crazed Starsailor, for that) but you`ll have a great time if played on the loud side.
Greetings From LA, an earlier album, was Tim`s gritty, dirty soul foray; this is exultant festival time. Enjoy.

1 out of 5 stars don't waste your time or money.......2004-08-15

One of the worst albums I've ever listened to. The whole thing sounds stale and fake with no originality. Unfortunately, this was my introduction to his material and has put me off buying any of his other albums (although I may pick up some of his early work which is supposed to be excellent).

4 out of 5 stars Buckleys' Voice is Like No Other.......2002-03-17

Say what you will about Tims' lack of "Being Commercial"..The one thing you can never say is that his voice is anything but GREAT! His control of the five plus octives just amazes you with his ability to climb and dance through the melody. I had the pleasure of being a friend of his. I have the Guild 12 string he used to play. The energy and love that Buckley put into his music is like no other. HE IS NOT THE BACKSTREET BOYS....THIS IS A REAL TALENT.

4 out of 5 stars Better than they say.......2000-01-10

I have read many a bad review of this albumn but although it is different in style to his other work, it is just as good! I first heard the song Look at the fool on the Twenty Four Seven soundtrack which prompted me to buy this albumn. It is a brillent emotionally charged bluesy song, the rest of the songs are more upbeat and mowtown in style. Most of the songs do not contain the most inspiring lyrics but the tunes are incredibily catchy and addictive. This is a great funky album, perfect to put on before you go out for an evening!
