Do you think Damien Rice will beat his sophomore slump?
Slump? What slump? I loved 9!

even on his first album he was basically writing the same song over and over. i know it's "folk" music, but... branch out, yo.


that's it.

I can agree to that to an extent and I'm a huge fan.

I think you're just being an elitist, Tyler, because I really liked 9 and I'm obviously the authority. Since I saw Damien Rice and Fiona Apple in the same night, of course. Oh, and also knew in my heart that they were going to sound check with Woman Like A Man and they did.

Let's just say I really hope whatever he does next will be better, but I'm not sure that I believe it will be. Many of the songs on 9 seemed to me like uninspired attempts at mimicking the songs from O. Not delicate enough. Too busy and loud.

And let's just say I really, really hope that he'll never release a song worse than Me, My Yoke, and I, 'cause that'll be officially rock bottom.

Confession: When I first bought O, back in 2003, I was obsessed with it. I listened to it over and over for months. I scribbled some of the lyrics on folders and such. Despite that, I've never heard 9. I'm not sure why I passed on it. Was/Is it really that bad? Should I hear it anyhow?

It has its share of nice moments. It's worth listening to the whole album to find out whether you like it anyway, especially if you're a fan. The piano pieces are wonderful.
