Buckley's voice is unique; sometimes it's overly effeminate, soft and soothing; other times it's full of violent anguish with a poetic beauty in the lyrics that reminds me of Leonard Cohen, not musically but lyrically. Buckley's brand of rock is intensely personal and can be a draining experience for the new listener, but if you feel that he speaks to you through his music, then you'll fall in love.

The best word I can think to describe Buckley's voice is soaring. He's able to sing so mournfully and there's still something about his work that feels almost uplifting. Nightmares by the Sea is a wonderful tune.
