"This is a really good album that you fall asleep but in a good way. You don't need to pay attention to it but if you do, it's rewarding in its own unique experience. Diverse yet cohesive. This album isn't very elaborate and developed as their later releases but it's not meant to be. Their masterp..." [+] Reply

"I’m giving this a 75 but it’s probably closer to a 77 or 78. This album has held up really well. It’s a fun, well-written, pop record with an edge. It’s hard not to nod along to these tracks with a smile on your face. This is TBS at their best." Reply
"I'll compare it to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. It's probably an album that would have a love/hate relationship with it's listeners, if it were more known about. Fortunately I'm on the love side. This is brilliant." Reply

"His voice reminds me of how Billie Holiday's sounded on her final album. You can tell that he knew the end was near a very emotional album." Reply

"A completely underrated and overlooked album. 9, Damien Rice's follow up to the excellent, O, is every bit as good as that record. It's predominately an acoustic LP but this time Rice adds electric instruments on some tracks and the album has a more challenging sound to it. Some great songs here ..." [+] Reply
"Better than her debut but still not great. Irreplaceable and Ring The Alarm are the best tracks, the rest aren't too bad they just do not blow me away. Her next album was much better." Reply
