    He keeps fobbing it off as he doesn't want to be famous. What the fuck is he doing singing for so.

    Ah man, if he doesn't want to be famous he better stop being a genius.

    He'll need to write more than one great album to be called that.

    For sure. He's out touring now opening up for Fiona Apple. I hope he's trying out some new stuff there.

    Absolutely love him! 'O' is phenomenal. I would love to see him with Fiona Apple.

    My favourite is Older Chests. It's the first song I've learned on my guitar :)

    Yeah, Damien Rice is amazing.. I love the Irish accent.

    Delicate, The Blower's Daughter, and Volcano are probably my favorites.

    Love, love, love him. He is incredible. Wish he'd come out with another album, though I doubt it could be as good as O. That was an incredible debut. I'm going to see him next month in Central Park. He and Fiona Apple are sharing the bill. Pretty psyched. My sister saw him a couple years ago and said he is amazing live. Nice to see a little Damo love around here.
