I found more inspiring stuff on Myspace – like Lindsay d’arcy – just stunned me.

Damien, I love you, really, but maybe you should go and busk again and get back to the beauty of feeling.

In fact, I just heard of him the other night on Jay Leno where he sang "The Wrong Kind Of Place to Be Thinking Of You." Who is the girl that sings the first half of the song with him??? WOW!!! What a voice!! My opinion: I wish she had sang the WHOLE song, her voice is truely amazing, and I don't think she was truely given the credit due at the end of the song, because no one even said her name! She is what made me want to listen to his song. I am new to Damien Rice.

Noise, dissonance, crowded orchestration, and beautiful piano parts seem to inhabit the album wildly. Hope there isn't a PA warning for Rootless Tree :) travis@iamtravis.com

I loved the blower's daughter and so I bought 'o'. I haven't completely listened to the whole thing yet, but it's not for lack of trying. I find it a little slow. That being said, this album seems to be along the same lines. Many random gasps for air, and songs so slow I need to look at the display to make sure the music hasn't stopped. All in all, it's not my kind of music, but someone out there may love it. Who am I to say? I have to confess, I’ve been having a tough time with Damien Rice.

It's hard not to compate the two albums, with tracks like The Blower's Daughter Pt. 2 (renamed Elephant) and the final track, "Sleep Don't Weep," which sounds like a less inspired version of "Cold Water." His new album isn't without its bright spots: "9 Crimes," "Elephant" and "Grey Room" revel in his signature sorrowful beauty. "Elephant" in particular highlights his passionate lyrics and often raw vocals. Rice breaks away from that formula, getting mixed results with the more upbeat "Dogs" and "Coconut Skins." While the sound is a nice surprise, we've come to expect more from Rice lyrically than "The girl that does Yoga, When we come over." This is a CD fans will grow to love, but may not do much to expand his presence on the music scene.
