Good Points

Deep feel makes it far from 'shallow'
Some nice art work I suppose - if not a little strange.

Bad Points

The track 'Fallen Tree' features some unnecessary and excessive swearing? Not really a bad point but I feel that this song could be a lot better if only it didn't break out into an 'f - bomb' half way through.

General Comments

Damien Rice should be proud of this piece - 9 is a collection of 'deep' songs that work well as an album.

My only problem with 9 is the track 'Fallen Tree' in which Damien seems to explode an 'f - bomb' - that is to say, the lyrics aren't very 'clever' - I find this swearing to be a bit excessive despite the fact that it was intended to provoke emotion and portray a feeling of anger.

Aside from this slight down point, I would recommend 9 to anyone - and although I'm not familiar with O, popular opinion would suggest that this is a good follow up.
