Advantages: Where do I start...

Disadvantages: none

This album has showed me that Jeff isnt a mystery at all, simply a genius. I was left totally breathless by "Grace", the most famous album, and the songs on that are totally reinvented on "Mystery White Boy". This is achieved in such an innovative way you feel like hes singing right to you and only you. I may ramble on about this compilation but its very special to me.

The whole album is a compilation of live songs chosen by the band, in dedication of Jeff Buckley. These songs include some off of Grace, and a few songs that have never been heard before, but are equally amazing.

The music on this album creates winding paths for Jeff's voice to discover which is so angelic it makes me want to cry. Most songs sound like the band are making it up yet the riffs, singing patterns and breaks seem it calculated and precise.

The whole album is amazing but there are some songs that take getting to know. The intricacy of it adds depth, however I found that this also means close attention has to be paied.

If you want an album with many emotional extremes then buy it but I would enjoy "Grace" first if you are new to Jeff. This album ranges from rock to folk to jazz, experience it!
