Damien Rice - 9


Recommended Posts

When was O released anyway? And to make it worse it was released here a year or more before it opened up worldwide. Seems like Guns n Roses were making records when they released O!

and yeah, it's not as good as 'O', but there's 4-5 killer songs on it or me. only 2 that i don't like.

That's because your from Ireland. He rarely got airplay in the states. In fact, I went to see Fiona Apple and Damien Rice earlier this year and the majority of the crowd had never heard of Damien.

 

Orpheum, December 20

might be, i don't know of any yet. there's 3 diff pre-sales for tomorrow tho, i'll post if i find out.

 

Sounds like a nice gig, love The Frames. They do suffer from the big fish/small pond over here but easily one of my favourite Irish bands in years.

yeah, you'd love them over here. they rarely play much bigger than 1500 capacity venues.

 

you heard the new one? The Cost? good shit. People Get Ready is so amazing. glad they finally put that on a record.

No, haven't got around to it yet. Probably be picked up in the Christmas shopping rush. I am so lazy when it comes to getting out to the stores.

Downloaded "9" today...

 

I was not expecting another "O" by any means. In fact, I was just hoping to NOT be thoroughly disappointed. After one listen, I am pleasantly surprised by "9". It helped to not get my hopes up, but I think it's a solid album. Granted, I hadn't touched "O" in ages, and in listening to it now, immediately after my "9" maiden voyage, it's too obvious what the better album is... But. I think anyone would be hard pressed to follow up an album like "O" with something better. Near impossible, actually... I'm looking forward to more spins of "9". I :wub Damien Rice. And Lisa, yes... :yes

I've listened to the album another couple of times.... I really really like it. There's just something about Damo and the way he wears his heart on his sleeve. Also, I can't get over how Damien and Lisa's vocals complement each other so well, it's nice to see her pretty well represented on the new album. Whatever grabbed me with "O" seems to be working again with "9". I like it more everytime I hear it (thus far).

did you score those pit ones?

 

i scored 2 in MF2 Row A (so 4th row center), not bad :)

 

Yep :P

 

This will be quite the Christmas present for the wife - 2nd row pit...in the center. I debated whether or not to go for 1st row balcony, but I opted for the pit. Hopefully no 6' 11" dudes sit in front of me! Row A should be great - as long as there is a space between the pit and the seats you will have an unobstructed view.
