Listen to Damien Rice's new album in FULL..

Basq

'9' is now available to stream over at AOL.

Warning: Doesn't work well on Firefox... or at all. Use the forbidden browser that is IE.

I was expecting to be disappointed but Christ... it's VERY VERY good! Almost worth a 4 year wait! *

It's actually very different in some respects - the single 'Nine Crimes' really is as Damien Rice as the album gets.

But it's songs like 'Rootless Trees' are what makes this album so different to 'O' and anything i've heard Mr Rice do before: a truly brillant quite heavy number with the chorus consisting of a number of screamed 'F*CK YOU'. And also 'Coconut Trees' which has a guitar driven Jack Johnson type feel to it.

On it's 1st listen, this album has really impressed me. Yes, it has it's typical Damien Rice stuff on it ('Elephant', 'Nine Crimes', 'Grey Room') which are all very good - 'Elephant' especially. But it's the different songs... the heavier and odder songs (as compared to the material on 'O') which

It's essentially very different.. a bit more polished than 'O' which can be expected with the acclaim the main has recieved.

But i must say i'm very impressed!


* note i said "almost"... nothing can forgive a 4 year wait for a new album!

PS - am posting this in Music Reviews as what started as myself expressing a brief opinion has turned into a review!

Thanks very much for the heads up. Didn't work for me for a while but i googled a solution...... if you can't play it change your time zone to east us/canada.....

Basq

Yeah.. it worked fine for me once i switched to IE.. but even the Firefox extension IEView wouldn't do it justice.

F*ckin' AOL! :mad:

Oh.. and enjoy!!

kensutz

It wouldn't work for me until I did the workaround that Beastieboy posted. But now I have to go to work :mad:

Eh? Have another listen.. it's extremely different to O.

There's nothing even remotely like 'Rootless Tree', 'Crocodile Skins', 'Dogs' or 'Me My Yoke and I' on O

RE*AC*TOR

Yes, sooooo different like chalk and ...... err .... limestone.

Kold

You guys suck.


Think I'll wait for CD too. Can't pay attention to music on the computer.
