i just hope there is more to the record musically. maybe a little more edge to it. "O" was good but the tortured voice and minimalist sound gets a little irritating sometimes. admirable for its passion and intense emotion, but he sounds like he's dying in some of those songs.

See, now I'm thrilled beyond words about this.

 

I loved his last album to pieces. Can't say a single bad thing about it.

 

Solace, I haven't been around in a while so if there was a thread about JA I missed it, but tell me what it is about his new album that let you down?

 

I've only heard a couple songs and snippets of others and can't really make up my mind yet. I'll pick it up this weekend to really figure this out. But I'm starting to feel "Redemptions" about it. Which isn't a good thing if you've ever heard me speak of my feelings for RS.

Redempton's Son kicks the everloving crap out of this new one (as does the last one)

 

the songwriting just isn't that strong for one... there's maybe 3 or 4 really GREAT songs, and a lot of drone-y/boring songs.

 

and the vocal effects & layering ruins a lot of other tracks, some which would be ok without all that stuff.

 

it's just a really depressing sounding album for the most part i think.

I saw him open for Fiona Apple over the summer. If any of the songs he played there are going to be on the album it should be pretty decent. Definitely more sound to it than "O", kind of rocking out a little.

full studio rip...

 

sounds SOOOOOOO much better.... really starting to grow on me

 

Lisa

 

:wub

 

 

The new Lamontagne album reminds me of O to a certain extent, minus the tortured Damien Rice vocals, and most importantly, minus LISA. I can't help but think of how much better Ray's album would be with a little bit of Lisa peppered through it to break the monotony.
