    Like all of Damien Rice's breathtaking songs, many on this CD need multiple listenings, but this is still a powerful, beautiful collection. He touches on some familiar themes (infidelity, longing, unrequited love) particularly with the haunting "accidental babies" which is a lost-love letter that combines his lyrical poetry with a more direct, simple melody. His longing is palpable. "9 crimes" is likewise a poignant description of how he could be unfaithful while recognizing how he is destroying his lover. Rice breaks different ground with songs like "coconut skins", a jangly guitar-driven track that when listened to casually may remind you pleasantly of Bob Dylan. He smartly retains the amazing vocalist Lisa Hannigan and cellist Vyvienne Long, to whom he owes a great deal of his success. On "9", Damien Rice recaptures the aspects of his songwriting, singing, and playing that we loved on his previous works, and explores some newer ground, with great success.

    Have worn out his other two albums from constant replaying. Such a true artist that packs so much emotion into relatively simple songs. Simple in the sense that he is a wordsmith that chooses each word carefully to paint such beautifully realized intentions. Didn't think this would live up to the quality of the other two, but I was very pleasantly surprised. No one else shares their soul as openly as he does.

    I loved his first cd, especially Volcano. The lady who does the backing vocal stole my heart. The strings are simple and powerful. This cd seems to follow on the same path. It reminds me of a secret treasure not many folks know about. I am not sure why this man is not a major star, perhaps marketing, perhaps timing. His voice and talent are hard to deny. I will listen and continue to be a fan. As for the lyrics advisory, don't sweat it. You hear worse on CNN.

    This is a grat album by Damien Rice. Not personally my favourite, 'cause I love his debut O, but it has some incredible stuff. And is his last album with Lisa Hannigan, so it makes it ever better.

    I love Damien Rice! Plain and simple. I love his music, his lyrics, everything. This is such a great cd. There may be a couple of songs on this cd, opposed to his first, that I don't care for. I think Damien Rice is one of the best singer/songwriters of our time. I would compare him equally with Ray Lamontagne.

    It’s Damien Rice - what’s not to love?

    Unless of course you want to delve deeper into depression. You have been warned!

    To be quite honest with you, this CD didn't live up to my expecatations. There are some hauntingly beautiful songs on here, but as a whole, it's missing something...doesn't quite flow. It's not all bad though: I love Damien's voice and his collaboration with Lisa Hannigan - they sound absolutely great together.

    So, if I had to listen to this or some other folksy singer like, let's say, James Blunt, then I'd listen to this hands down...even if I was depressed as h*ll. Even though 9 doesn't live up to its predecessor, it's still better than 90% of the garbage out there.

    Peace out.

    Il cd è arrivato puntuale ed è confezionato in una custodia di cartoncino duro.
    La qualità è ottima.
    Damien Rice è un cantautore meraviglioso e di grande talento, la sua musica unica.
    Io ho comprato questo cd per completare la raccolta dei suoi album. Per chi non lo conoscesse..ne consiglio vivamente l'ascolto.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mein (quasi) Doppelalbum des Jahrzehnts
    Reviewed in Germany on August 4, 2013
    Bestes Songwrtiting, sowohl in Text, als auch in Komposition, wobei die Texte einen Tiefgang haben, der schonungslos ist, es wird nichts zurück gehalten, ist also sehr persönlich.
    Die Musik wirkt mit klassisch-dramatischen Steigerungen, von flüsternd leise bis zu Ausbrüchen mit vollem Orchester und Band, und nutzt dabei die ganze Bandbreite von schlichter Folk-Besetzung mit Stimme und Guitarre bis zu ungewöhnlichen Instrumentationen und Besetzungen wie wortfrei singenden Chören, Opernstimmen und viel Streichern. Trotzdem gibt es immer klare Songstrukturen und gute erinnerbare Linien.
    Dieses "Doppelalbum" begleitet mich seit vielen Monaten. Was kann nach dieser Musik noch von Damien Rice kommen?
