Helps me unwind after a long day. Best album I own! Beautiful songs. This product says "9" by Damien Rice, but the one I bought is "0".
Amazing
He is an amazing lyricist. If you ever get a chance to see Damien live, do so. His writing is passionate and heartbreaking. Not everyone's style, but it is a release for me and connects me to my emotions.
Although I am disappointed that Damien is no longer (professionally?) associated with Lisa Hanniagn anymore, and I am worried about his future viability, this album is beautiful in its rawness and vulnerablity.
"Accidential Babies" is my favorite. Live, Damien started this song and had to stop. He was choked up and moved on to another song. One can only imagine what events prompted to the creation of this song. .
High contrast to "O" that renews my interest in artist
I fell in love with a couple of songs on "O" and found many of the others simply okay. It was with a bit of trepidation that I purchased this CD, since I had heard mixed reviews from friends and read several negative reviews from critics. But I decided to purchase "9" after listening to short sound clips from a couple of songs.
It definitely did not disappoint. Haunting, moving, rousing, heart-breaking. . . these are some of the words I would use to describe the songs. I think this CD is a bit more raw and definitely has an edgier, harder sound on a couple of songs.
I would recommend it, especially if, like me, you found "O" just a tiny bit boring after a few listens. I think this CD will manage to hold my attention quite a bit longer.
Great CD
Damien Rice was bold with this CD, especially with his "Rootless Tree" where he swears "F*** you, f*** you, f*** you, and all we've been through. While I do prefer "O" to "9", this CD is still very remarkable. Leave it, leave it, leave it. It's nothing to you. And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good that you can let me out. " Although the swearing is definitely loud and bold, it is sung in a remarkable, breathtaking way that just makes you want to scream it at the top of your lungs. This is an amazing song for after a break up. This song got me through a really tough time when the guy I loved for two years told me we couldn't be together anymore. Naturally, I usually run for the sappy love songs that either talk about two people falling deeply in love or someone being alone for the rest of their life, but instead, I opted for "Rootless Tree" and my heart sped the entire time I had it on repeat. Damien Rice's music is theaputic.
.
Stark Contrast to 0
Whereas 0 featured soft lyrics and light melodies, 9 features faster beats and lyrics, including my favorite, "Rootless Tree" which has the F word frequently. Damien Rice's sophomore album is a stark contrast to 0.
Unlike 0, 9 demands your attention and doesn't let it go until the last second of the last song. I strongly suggest this CD to everyone who likes Damien Rice and even those who don't.
