Damien Rice - 9 Crimes

Single from his forthcoming album of the same name, I managed to get ahold of it and god it's god, so good. I was a huge fan of "O" but I really liek the direction of this one. Its a fully piano driven softly spoken song with Lisa Hannigan singing about 50% of it.

Managed to find a youtube of it live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDe2zJRJhP8

I have a radio rip but I'm not sure what the policy here is on posting that?

what does everyone think of the album then. im not convinced at all after a couple of listens.

not a patch on 'O' the first track 9 crimes is excellent but thats about it.

I don't think it's quite as good as O, but still a top album nonetheless. Have to admit that it struggles to top 9 Crimes, but Elephant and Accidental Babies are amazing tunes too

Just finished importing the CD to iTunes.

Only half way through The Animals Were Gone. So far so good

Edit - Elephant also v.good

OK. I think I prefer the Magic Numbers new album tbh. Although both albums are excellent and great to chill/relax to.

Great song.

Great news! Absolutely loved O, one of my favourite albums.

Looks like I'll have to pop to town and get this at the weekend

Just ordered 9 off t'interweb, can't wait for it. Loved O so I hope it's more of the same

Nearly got this in Tesco today but decided against it in the end, did I make the wrong decision?!

Would love to see him live.

Welshy · 12 Nov 2006 at 23:53

Got it saturday, been listening to it non-stop since!

9 Crimes, Elephant and Coconut Skins are by far my favourite tracks

DB_SamX · 15 Nov 2006 at 02:37

A bit of a grower I thought, only 2 or 3 great tracks. I preferred O and B sides.

da_mic_1530 · 15 Nov 2006 at 11:48

much prefer "O"

9 crimes is brilliant.
Rootless tree is my 2nd favourite.

I was pretty surprised when he bursts out with **** YOU, **** YOU, **** YOU! Haha.

Going to see Damien Rice in Minnesota 20th Dec, cant wait, I couldn't believe it when I was just prodding around the web to see what's on near my Gfs house. Love his new album, its samey and yet again different enough to 'O' to be great.
