Customer Reviews
Simply not for me.....
I may be the exception on this one, but I find this work impossible to listen to. Personally I find the lyrics and sentiment naive in the extreme. I've tried on several occasions to give it a fair play, but find a need to turn off after a few tracks. The rap like style of the opener is particularly embarassing.
Extremely disappointing, especially when comparisons are made to the likes of Christy Moore.
5 star quality
There have been very few occasions where I have been utterly blown away by music in the way I was when I first heard Damien Demspey play live. It was like standing in a force nine gale of pure energy. He has a raw talent in his songwriting that makes him quite unique and there is a real honesty to his lyrics too, bordering on the naieve sometimes but that only adds to uplifting vibe of the CD.
A tenner is a pittance for something this good.
beats, melody and killer lyrics
okay - it takes a bit of getting used to... normal Northsiders (i.e. non-Mount Templer's) don't often get a world stage to express themselves... but give it a while and D.'s voice, tunes and lyrics will creep into your soul.
frignteninly honest, visceral and thought provoking - raw social commentary combined with an appreciation of simply everyday beauty - though the sunset is over St. Donagh's take some zen-mind to really enjoy - and as for the stars never playing the cellar bar - I wouldn't even drink in it ;-))
Howth Juncion also carried me away...
