The time now was not that I had year after year waiting for Damien Rice finally released something new again. I like the first two albums, but feel this or that song as something to wrong-headed for my listening preferences. And now this: This album is one of the best of 2014 for me, it overwhelmed with huge melodies, which often develop within a song unexpectedly, often begin quietly and intimate, only to merge into large symphonic string arrangements and then quietly say goodbye again. Incredibly complex and multifaceted. I am not even able to play an instrument or sing, that's all just my humble opinion as a consumer. But this album makes me euphoric and it belongs consulted again. One of the few boards on which there is not a single song that could be called weaker than failure or even just a bit. That would probably become the 9th and the 10th title, but the he has waived thank God. ;-) If pronounce here no recommendation to buy, then I do not know what else.
