Everybody says that his voice makes the album, when in reality the lyrics and the great musicianship are what do it for me.
Heh... that's really funny. I actually like the album almost entirely because of his voice, and, on some songs, the lyrics. The band is indeed great, but I think some songs are a little too cluttered. I wish he had lived long enough to make an album of sparse, simple songs, like "Hallelujah," the ultimate album highlight.
