“Ten years after its release, legendary vocalist Jeff Buckley's only proper full-length is given the expanded treatment. Like the similar edition of The Clash's London Calling reviewed earlier this week, it's been extravagantly repackaged and appended with two additional discs-- one an audio disc collecting non-album tracks, the other a DVD documentary spotlighting the recordings sessions.”
