Before I really got into Damien Rice, I had only heard his "Cannonball" and "Volcano" singles on the radio. I was more impressed by "Volcano" at first, and then I came across the album. Oh. My. God. That album is an experience. I will reiterate the afformentioned suggestions of BUY IT NOW, DAMMIT and say that anyone who has heard the "Cannonball" single should buy "O" to hear what it's really like on the album. The album version of that song entirely blew me away, especially with its perfect placement after the wonderful "The Blower's Daughter". Anyone who hasn't bought this album has to. It is an amazing achievement. Damien Rice has quickly become one of my favorite musicians, and I await the discovery of more of his work (haven't had the time to check out the website yet).

Thanks for the excellent FA and review.
