Album Description:
9 is the extraordinary follow-up to young Irishsinger-songwriter Damien Rice's critically acclaimed 2003 debut albumO-which sold more than 2 million copies worldwide, including more than onemillion in the U.K. The single '9 Crimes' will have its network televisiondebut on the hit ABC show Grey's Anatomy in the November 23rd episode.
Amazon.com:
Not quite as endearing as his raw and seductive 2002 debut, O, the second full-length album by Irish troubadour Damien Rice finds him taking a more slapdash approach to his lyrics and arrangements, with balmy tracks like 'Rootless Tree,' 'Coconut Skins,' and 'Me, My Yoke, and I' seemingly made up and recorded on the spot. Strange then that it took so long for 9 to actually arrive, with just a handful of odd collaborations (Tori Amos, Herbie Hancock) and one promising benefit single ('Unplayed Piano') to hold fans over during the four-year delay. Nothing here quite achieves the lush poetry on display there, although Rice and his singing companion Lisa Hannigan come close with the creepy opening track '9 Crimes' and the damaged whisper-to-a-scream ballad, 'Elephant.'--Aidin Vaziri
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - High contrast to "O" that renews my interest in artist
It was with a bit of trepidation that I purchased this CD, since I had heard mixed reviews from friends and read several negative reviews from critics. I fell in love with a couple of songs on "O" and found many of the others simply okay. But I decided to purchase "9" after listening to short sound clips from a couple of songs.
It definitely did not disappoint. Haunting, moving, rousing, heart-breaking...these are some of the words I would use to describe the songs. I think this CD is ... Read More
Rating:  - Great CD
While I do prefer "O" to "9", this CD is still very remarkable. Damien Rice was bold with this CD, especially with his "Rootless Tree" where he swears "F*** you, f*** you, f*** you, and all we've been through. Leave it, leave it, leave it. It's nothing to you. And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good that you can let me out." Although the swearing is definitely loud and bold, it is sung in a remarkable, breathtaking way that just makes you want to scream it at the top of your lungs. ... Read More
Rating: - Stark Contrast to 0
Damien Rice's sophomore album is a stark contrast to 0. Whereas 0 featured soft lyrics and light melodies, 9 features faster beats and lyrics, including my favorite, "Rootless Tree" which has the F word frequently.
Unlike 0, 9 demands your attention and doesn't let it go until the last second of the last song. I strongly suggest this CD to everyone who likes Damien Rice and even those who don't.
Rating:  - It's not easy to fill big shoes...
Damien Rice set the bar ridiculously high with his 2004 release, O. On his debut, there was incredible production and amazing sounds coming out of every track. While the follow up to O, also a single character title, 9, is a solid album, fans expecting the artistic saturation found on O will be somewhat disappointed. While Damien Rice's song writing is solid, his voice is great and the lyrics provide good images, we don't get anything like the backwards singing on "Cold Water," or the clinking glasses ...

Rating: - Not As Good
For me, this album wasn't packed with as much feeling as 'O' was, which was really, super disappointing. I was also excited about him releasing 'Me, My Yoke and I' but when I listened to it, it wasn't as full of energy as the live version I have of it. All in all, this album was a great disappointment with a few pick me up every three songs.
