What do you think?

I'm a fan. I liked O, but I think his new album is much better. It has a lot more diversity to it.

this is good to know
i haven't heard it
what is it called?

the new album is called 9.

i love it, and i think lisa hannigan is fantastic on it. O was really good as well but i'm particularly fond of this new album. i'm angry he didn't come to canada when he toured with fiona.

both. i read a review of "9" that said anyone who loved "0" should just forget about it and not compare, but it's hnard not too. for starters, the last track is 25 minutes and spans a few songs, just like 'eskimo' ... second, that girl is singing with him still. eh, he's a total twat but i semi-like it.

Oh lord, Lisa Hannigan has the sexiest voice known to man. It's damn near perfect, so husky. If it was possible to marry a voice, I'd be proposing to her voice immediately.

agreed.
I really liked O but i havent heard the stuff yet.
So, yes i like him and yes, he depresses the shit outta me.

he blows goats

Damien's O is good for the right mood. Taken out occasionally, when its raining, getting dumped, what ever's apt.
Only really depressing if its on your daily palylist.

I don't like him enough to actually buy his albums, but I saw him open for fiona apple and I enjoyed some of his songs. I think "the blower's daughter" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

his lyrics are so boring, very mushy. but his songs are lovely enough. i've only listened to O and think it has some sad melodies. and his song in closer was okay.

thats the one i like the least
haha

yeah i don't really like his new lyrics very much. my personal favourite has to be "love your depression and i love your double chin". the music itself and the vocals are great though, given the right mood.

I hated the new cd at first, but after about 13 plays I love it. He's deceptively simple, makes you think its easy, but it's brilliant. He's spawned a lot of pretenders, but he still sings songs simply, and from the heart.

Loving this song..

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long

The window's open now and the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
I love your depression and I love your double chin
I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering

Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone
We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn
We could make babies and accidental songs

I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
I cover my eyes, still all I see is you

Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup

i've only heard 'cannonball', 'volocano' , and 'woman like a man', all of which i like, although the last one def the best. how do his other songs compare to those?

i'm curious though. if anyone would upload an album to the request thread, i'd DL in an instant

give me like 20 minutes.

O is the only one i have been able to purchase

Carter uploaded some songs on i think the 2nd to last page in the mp3 thread from last week that is closed
i am just now listening to the last song on it that i haven't heard yet

can you post woman like a man?
i haven't heard that one yet

volcano is the first one i ever heard
and it was like love at first listen
there are some on O i like even more than it
and a few that don't do much of anything for me
i need to listen again to the new ones i got from the other thread before i make a sure opinion on them yet
