Album, nuuuuuuuuuuuuu album

[PenguinBoy]

As i was saying

what do u think it's gonna be like?

If u'd only listened to O u might thing that Damo was a "chillout" type music person.

If this album was like really heavy and explicit and a heart torn open. I'd love it, shunned by critics who'd call it "unlistenable tripe".

Or do u think he'll play the "buy my single" card? I doubt that. I think it'll be somewhere in the middle. O definately wasn't a an album written, it was songs written and put into an album. Would this time round be more thematic, cos of the fact that it's like probably been contemplated as an entire album? Would it be more artistic statement this time, than personal autobiographical self-lamentation(because of the pressure to write "a good album"?

I wonder.

I can't imagine it having a simmillar mood to O, i can't imagine that working. But maybe he'll have considered it a formula which worked? Heaven knows.

and maybe you do to.

What thinkst thou!?!

3, 2, 1, GO!

i'd love something like "O" i just don't want it to be way too electric or anything. like i love the feel of songs like "face" and "prague" i just don't want too much of it. "O" had a good mix of very mellow and dark songs, but then with some electric stuff that changed the mood, but not TOO much! which i what i liked.

however, another part of really wishes he'd realse something that wasn't TOO far off from "O", but not too much alike, because if you change your style too much.. for some reason it either seems to go really really well.. or more then likely just fail. i wish he'd do something like "O" and then release another thing like the B-sides that is more of his angry side!

i want him to do whatever the hell he wants to do, then itll prolly be amazing.

[PenguinBoy]

i agree. but then again there's sales to think about. oo er :S.

[carvinC980t_kid]

yes, i agree that whatever he does.. it'll be good! i just don't want to get too high of hopes for any one specific thing, because then it may not be how i expected and then i'll be disappointed. that is what happened to me with coldplay when X & Y came out, but then after giving it a chance a month or so down the road.. i ended up really really liking it.

i think the sound feel of it will definately be different from O - this time around it's recorded in a studio, right? So it won't have that bedroom sound, possibly, unless he desides to recreate it in the studio anyways.

I hope it'll be mean and dirty and heavy and rough round the edges. Less Unplayed Piano, more madness.

i just hope its honest. nothing that shows that he's just trying to sell something, i dont think he would do that tho. one thing i really like about him is that he isnt really popular over here, at least in my area, and its really nice because its special when you find someone who likes him, and its even better when you get someone into him. so i kinda hope he stays unpoplar over here which is kinda selfish. i just dont want all of the bandwagon, top 40 music listeners to get a hold of his stuff just because its on the radio and then they'll be at all of the concerts.

I think it's gonna be different from "O". Oh.

I respect your opinion but as far as changing styles, just because he released 'O' doesnt mean that mellow is his style. Maybe it is the style that he plays that you like more which I can understand many wanting, but that doesn't mean to classify Damien Rice as someone who only plays songs with the acoustic/"slower" songs on 'O'. I think someone said best that whatever Damien decides to do is for the best. That should be enough.

I don't mean to attack you carvin, maybe I misinterpreted but I just think to put Damien into one category when he has so many talents and can play in many different tones, many different varieties, it just seems unfair to call that one way his style. Damien definitely has a style, but I don't think that it is non-electric and more mellow songs... if anything he has shown a balance and he has gone on record (at least i think) of saying the album could have been a little harder if he had the money to do so at the time of making it.

i think he will have the requisite few acoustic songs. mainly uptempo angrier rock type songs like insane.

[Spyne]

last i heard it was going to be along the same vein as 'i remember' and 'prague' - very heart wrenching and 'rough' (musically)

[Gatsby]

i hope its all purple and orange and has free lollipops with rabbits who lay babies in testubes full of apple juice

i really dont care as long as he does what he wants with it and it does go an alternative route to what we are used to

suprise me
