Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 His Best Effort Despite the Keening Lisa H.
Submitted on: 2009-10-01 |

I keep coming back to this cd. It remains brilliant. Saw Damien in Wash.DC couple years ago. Again, brilliant.
That being said, I saw him as a solo act without Lisa. I wish I could pull her off this cd and listen to DR as I heard him in concert. He is very funny, neither sad nor a depressing git at all.
What has worn on me with this cd is LH. "Keen" as a noun or verb comes from the Irish Gaelic term "caoineadh" (to cry) and references to it from the seventh, eighth and twelfth centuries are extensive." After a bit, I want to tell her to shove off, just as apparently DH did shortly before I saw him live. Her keening doesn't wear well at all and it has made me put this cd away for awhile several times. |

| I enjoy this CD from beginning to end. I purchased it a few years ago and it is still relevant in my collection. An all around good pick if you enjoy similarly styled artists. Enjoy. |

Superb album

| This is one of my favorite albums of all time from one of my favorite musicians of all time. His live albums are also fantastic. I was even lucky enough to see him live when I lived near philly a few years ago. There is no one like Damien Rice. Anyone who hasn't listened to him, should listen to this CD. For those who do like Damien Rice, check out the two ladies who play in the group, (Lisa Hannigan and Vyvienne Long) they have excellent music also. Buy this CD, its a masterpiece. |

 Terrific voice, AWFUL songwriting

When I see all the glowing reviews for Damien Rice's "O", I find myself scratching my head. Is it becuase of his voice? That's probably a lot of it - he does have a superb voice. Is it because people like cookie-cutter, trite songs that they've heard done 120 different ways? I'd like not to think so, but maybe.
His songwriting skills on this album are weak at best. These sort of lyrics are so overdone, so common to the genre, and so shallow, it's nauseating. Sure, I suppose his songs are "pretty," or whatever the usual reaction is, but what do they really say? Absolutely nothing. There is no depth to these lyrics at all, and they're extremely repetitive.
If he ever manages to write some decent songs, he'll be fantastic. That voice is undeniably strong. Until then, there are much better options available to you. |
