Just because they're my favorites doesn't mean I think they are a better song! Which is why some rankings are out of order.

I can't separate them all yet...

Top 3 (alphabetical order only):
Coconut Skins
Dogs
The Animals Were Gone

All the rest are great too... very hard to put any above the others.

I'm not up for the rating but I'll rank them

1 Rootless Tree
1 Elephant
1 The Animals were Gone
4 Grey Room
5 Me, My Yoke & I
6 Dogs (I really didn't like it at first listen, but...)
7 Coconut Skins
7 Sleep, Don't Weep
9 Accidental Babies
10 Nine Crimes

and that does not mean I don't like Nine Crimes... it's just that I prefer the others over it. And the top three, I really love them all the same.

it's always hard to play the ranking game, but here it is mine...
Needless to say that it will be changed within few minutes.

1. Accidental Babies 9,5
2. Elephant 9
3. Nine Crimes 8,5
4. Rootlss Tree 8
5. Me My Yoke And I 7,5
6. Grey Room 7,5
7. Sleep don't weep 7,5
8. The animals were gone 7
9.Coconut Skin 6,5
10. Dogs 6,5

Great album indeed, even if it takes more time to catch you than O, that was a very immediate record in my opinion...
Many lovely songs, but you have to give them time.
I'm a bit surprised by the minor presence and emphasys of the cello... or is it just an impression of mine?

Why did he record Accidental babies so slow? It's like "Ok, say it... say it!" there is like a 5 seconds gap between each of the sentences...
I probably would have liked this version if I didn't hear the live version first... Ahh I'm so pissed off that I was expecting so much.

Thanks for Sleep don't weep Damien... Cold Water-like, it's worth buying the CD.

A search on 'AOL' might do the trick.

I could never rank and rate, why?
I Just enjoy all the fruits of Damiens Labor, ranking them seems odd to me.
just my opinion though.

No! It's not crap at all. I just wonder if we all like the songs because we love Damien and we're already sold...
Seriously, I don't think I would still be on this forum 4 years after the release of his only album if this album was '9'... I mean, there's only one artist I follow and it's Damien, because 'O' touches me deep inside even 3 years after I knew him. But with '9'... I think he might have stayed a songwriter amongst others. I might be wrong.
