hey blower's daughter,
............a million dollar question indeed and has been for quite a few years now, it's the most frequent topic of conversation in this forum, and nobody seems to have any real idea. I think the reason for the long hiatus in Mr. Rice bringing out his third album is that he was a tad dissapointed with the reviews of '9'. It did not live up to 'O'. But then nothing could. 'O' was a modern master piece that I think drew inspiration from something beyond and outside of the man himself, it was almost spititual whereas '9' brought us back down to earth. I've no idea where his next album might go but I cannot say that I'm not still facinated and that he still has me hooked as to where he might go next. 'Look At Me' that came out in 2012 is maybe a taste of what's to come with his third official album. I'm sure he feels the pressure now to out do himself and maybe that's part of the problem. He maybe feels that he has to blast away 'O' and '9' and bring us a 10 . I've no idea. I'm only guessing. But I know I'd be just as happy with a 5 or a 6 from him. I just like his wave length and his authenticity. Maybe that's the key, to be authentic takes time and patience but life is only so long eh? 7 years is a long wait for a new album but I guess we're all still waiting and know that it will be worth the wait when it comes. I've never seem him live. Have you? Last edited by Jane Doe; 04-27-2013 at 06:42 PM. |

I think you're really missing the point here if you think Damien is in this for the reviews and the ratings...If anything, Damien has received a lot of flack on here for not caring enough - about his "fans" anyways. This is just me, but I honestly don't think he's feeling any kind of pressure at all to release anything. He's his own person and he stands his ground.This has been how he's operated right from the start and there's no indication of it changing. And for me, I'm perfectly, perfectly ok with not getting Album #3. The way he's been making music the last few years - with all the charity side-projects and especially how he slipped in some new songs on that amazing tour last year- that's really all I need.
When was the last time I listened to something on O or 9? Probably over 3-4 years now...His essence is in his live performances, so why do we need a recorded album from him? Can anyone seriously expect that any recorded version of "Back To Her Man", "Wild and Free", or "The Greatest Bastard" will even match the ones he did live on the European tour in 2012? I think that's the question we all need to ask ourselves before we get restless over a possible album #3. |

I think that he was not discouraged by the ratings, but by the fact that he himself wasn't totally satisfied by 9 (and that's crazy, he must understand that it's impossible for him to make a bad record.)
maybe he was pressured to release 9, he did not like it and he got bruised. I think now he got over that pressure and so he is taking his time to release a record that satisfies him first. and I think that's fine, he makes his records firstly for himself and then we will have the pleasure tu share it with him... that's art I think. Fortunately, last summer I had the chance to see him live (in Rome, totally unexpected!!!) and I didn't think it was possible but I fell more in love with his music
