    mUSIC IN MOUTH....

    I've heard a couple of deadly songs from it

    'tongue' and in 'every sunflower' are excellent

    Is the album consistent or patchy?

    not at all, they recorded it again because the first time it didnt sell particularly well, and their record company were having problems with them. if it this release isnt a success they may be splitting up. 'may' i say as its quite the rumour

    I only bought the album the other day and I was wasn't dissapointed!! Top drawer stuff. I'd been meaning to get it for yonks but never got around to it.
    The song that does it for me is the last track, "I'll See Your Heart and Raise You Mine" such a beautiful song. I was blown away when I saw them perform it on "Songs From A Room" on Network 2 a couple of months back.

    I particulary love the way that "Alphabet Soup" follows "Snakes and Snakes" really organic.

    It definitely comes highly recommended!

    Hmv should have the first bellx1 album.
    Juniper would be hard enough to get hold of.

    Music in mouth is probably the most complete irish album of the last couple of years. Get it, deffo. Its solid the whole way through.
    Just read throuhg this thread and see how many different song titles have benn picked out for special mention.

    Id say their better off without him-they can be something more than just "ricers band" they can have some of their own ideas and talent floating about.Rice is good but hes not that good.

    its a real pity that most post about the (imo) incredible bellx1 get turned into rants about the (imo) average damo rice

    both their albums are class, been way too long since i;ve seen them live, keep missing them :(

    Anyone heard the rerecording of "eve...." it takes an awful lot from the song I think.Not as good as the original at all.

    orangerooster tbh, all the songs they play 70% of them were written by rice, eve the apple of my eye was written by rice apart from the end of it where rice sings elvis , the song is called never, feckin great song, rice was the person who pieced together them great songs you now here on music in mouth.. hes a bit more than average. lyrical genious i think, very big headed though

    Lyrical genius is very strong-I knew he did most of the songs of "music in mouth" and thats why Bell x1s next album should be the proof of their songwriting skills.But to call Damien Rice a lyrical genius is insane-there are far better lyricists knocking round.Gary Lightbody for example-for some of his Snow Patrol stuff but more for the Reindeer Sections latest.
