Damien Rice

[Skeppersap]

His first CD, O, was a stunning CD, music at its best. It contained enchanting songs such as:

The Blowers Daughter
Cannonball
Delicate
Cold Water

Not one of those songs was a let down. To me this is probably the finest debut album I have heard (along with AAEA by the counting Crows).

Now...I just purchased his second CD, 9, and I must say I am quite disappointed, although I will listen to it more and see if I can get into it. He has definietly changed styles, and I do not think it is a change for the better. Not one song comes close to those mentioned above.

So, my questions to all other Damien Rice fans: what is your opinion of his new CD? Do you think he has changed for the better? What is your favourite song of his?

Whilst I haven't heard alot of his songs, I am absolutely loving 9 Crimes at the moment.

Peoples,

Was bored and doing a bit of You Tubeing last night. Decided to search for Damien Rice, and came across songs from a four sessions acoustic set. These are THE BEST live performances I have ever seen. I encourage you to watch the 2 songs below to get a feel for how talented this bloke is.

O is a fantastic debut album, that's for sure.

There's a version of Eskimo floating around YT which is absolutely stunning - will have a quick look now.

Surprising. I think Amie, Delicate and Eskimo are all better songs off that album.

That is the same concert I was referring to (but my links didnt work). It is BCC Four Sessions.

But, if you do a youtube search for Damien Rice Four Seasons you will get all the songs from the concert. They are all brilliant.

I had tried to put in links to Cold Water and Delicate.

If I had to rank my favourite songs off his CD they would be (from best to worst):

1. Eskimo
2. Amie
3. Delicate
4. Cold Water
5. I remember
6. The Blowers Daughter
7. Cannonball
8. Volcano
9. Cheers Darlin

I am sure I have left one off that list.
