rghammo Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Man am I pumped about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 "9" = number of years it seems have passed since "O" was released. please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I am trying really hard to NOT get my hopes up too too high. I so don't want to be disappointed by this record... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 yeah, considering i've been let down by 2 pretty great singer/songwriters already this year (Joseph Arthur & Ray LaMontagne), possibly more if i stop and think about it, i'm not getting my hopes up either.

Mrs. Peel Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 As long as there are no songs entitled "Renee"...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurri Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 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.

Mrs. Peel Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Funny, that's what I love about it. I totally understand why that would turn some people off though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I am going in under the assumption that this will suck. I liked the last record a lot, but for some reason I'm completely indifferent to this news. Maybe hearing his songs in every single movie for about three years ruined things for me.

HighFives Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I love damien rice and hate him at the same time. Cannon ball rules but I absolutely hate the blowers daughter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charli Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 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.

solace Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 new track, 9 Crimes http://download.yousendit.com/4626D90D416EDB2E features Lisa opening up the track on vocals not bad.... no amazing but def not bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nurfherder Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 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.

Mrs. Peel Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks, man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marino13 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 http://download.yousendit.com/9BFFE535401845C4 full studio rip... sounds SOOOOOOO much better.... really starting to grow on me Lisa 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 yeah, it's grown on me a lot... still can't say it's a patch on O whatsoever, but certainly a solid follow up for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
