Nov 18, 2014Not a very diverse album.
O's songs don't have the emotional connection of an album like For Emma by Bon Iver and in places feels quite repetitive. The lyrics and tone are wonderful though. -

JohnMar 30, 200411/10 By far the best album of 2003 (and the best live performance) Original yet 'instant classic' Makes you think of : Jeff Buckley + Muse + Elvis Costello + Jacques Brel + a bit of Radiohead + Beth Gibbons & Rustin' Man, all combined with a dash of Irish tradition

ChrisDec 18, 2007Well, the blowers daughter was written about his clarinet teachers daughter." The pupil in denial" It's mysterious when listening to the song unknowingly. But once you actually know what he is talking about when he's singing, it's a much different experience. And I know no one who can play and sing with such passion. Guitar isn't about technical skill. IT'S ABOUT PASSION!

PhilMFeb 16, 2004My favorite CD to date is O. I've now seen Damine Rice in concert twice and if you ever get the chance, you MUST see his show. Even if you are not particularly fond of his music, seeing him live is a real treat.

Minimalist folk rock in its purest form.

You can actually hear the moment when the album turns sour.

Lush, impossibly mature.
