If you like Damien Rice give the latest album by Five For Fighting a try. It's called The Battle For Everything and it truly is a magnificent album and the best album I have listened to since Under Rug Swept by Alanis Morissette.

Some tracks are similar in style to Damien Rice's music and if you watch Smallville you will probably recognise a couple of songs.

It's good to see that someone's got taste.

You should also try his other album, America Town, not as good but still contains some good songs especially Superman (It's Not Easy).

Indeed it is! I heard Cannonball on a compilation album and I loved it!

I just listened to 'Volcano - Reggae version' on his site - I nearly got me bongos out

- vocals were a bit down in the mix at the beginning & I nearly turned it off, but I'm glad I didn't

Does anyone else here notice crackles and pips on their CD copy? The sound quality seems to be pretty poor IMO on the CD. I though it was my Hi-Fi but i just tried a few other albums and they are fine so it must be the CD.

Actually maybe - i tried this out on a mates CD player and my PC and the sound quality sounds crap on both.

Can somebody try this for me (green reppy

) Goto the last track - track 10, 9:05 in and listen from there for about 20 seconds (its the first of two "hidden" tracks just before the "Silent night" which does sound awesome) - does anyone else hear lots of distortion and crackling or is it just my CD?

Ta.

Edit: Also if you listen to track 1, 2:32 seconds in - he even really twangs a chord - dont get me wrong - not sayin i could do any better, but then i aint getting paid for it.
