Sketches was a poor follow up with a few good songs on it, the best one imo being Morning Theft.  Granted, it wasn't a fully realized album, but still.

That album should have never been released...I'll stop there before I go on another one of my Mary Guibert-making-Jeff-the-AlternaTupac rants.   :mad:

I Dunno,
 
 Bright Eyes
 Is it a kind of a dream
 Floating out on the tide
 Following the river of death downstream
 Oh, is it a dream?
 
 There's a fog along the horizon
 A strange glow in the sky
 And nobody seems to know where you go
 And what does it mean?
 Oh, is it a dream?
 
 Bright eyes
 Burning like fire
 Bright eyes
 How can you close and fail?
 How can the light that burned so brightly
 Suddenly burn so pale?
 Bright eyes
 
 Is it a kind of shadow
 Reaching into the night
 Wandering over the hills unseen
 Or is it a dream?
 
 There's a high wind in the trees
 A cold sound in the air
 And nobody ever knows when you go
 And where do you start
 Oh, into the dark
 
 Bright eyes
 Burning like fire
 Bright eyes
 How can you close and fail?
 How can the light that burned so brightly
 Suddenly burn so pale?
 Bright eyes
 
 Bright eyes
 Burning like fire
 Bright eyes
 How can you close and fail?
 How can the light that burned so brightly
 Suddenly burn so pale?
 Bright eyes

well, who knows how good sketches would have been? most artists write 20-40 songs for an album and whittle it down, y'know? half of those are probably ditties he put together with zero thought in 5 minutes. some sure as hell sound like it.

True enough!  That aside, I think Grace is an excellent album.  However, I played it so much throughout college that I can't really listen to it anymore.

If Curt Cobain wasn't dead he'd be doing the coffee house/State Fair circuit by now.
