Advantages: Some excellent B-Sides, a decent mixture of early and later material Disadvantages: One or two classic B-Sides glaringly absent, some recent B-Sides are a bit average
...to 'New', Forget the f******* Labour' James rants
6.Donkeys. (B-Side to Roses in The Hospital, 1993).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A very gentle, slow song, with beautiful vocals and an inspiring guitar solo. It is a very personal song describing what it is like to suffer from depression on an everyday basis, something that Richey in particular struggled with
7. Comfort Comes. (B-Side to Life Becoming a Landslide, 1994).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is an angry song driven along by menacing guitars and bass with raucous vocals. It is very much a disenchanted love song that gives a pretty jaded view of true love.
'The difference between love and comfort
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brutal and mocking but always there
A crutch for enmity's saddest glare'

Advantages: New tracks to hear from the acoustic artist Disadvantages: fairly short with some same songs as the album "O"
...Damien Rice has become an under-rated acoustic star since the release of his debut album "O". Many people say that "O" is the greatest album that they have ever purchased, and so fans weren't disappointed when Damien Rice released his album "B-Sides". Since "B-Sides" was released many fans have been confused as to whether some of the songs on "B-Sides" are infact, even better than some of the songs on "O".
Damien Rice has worked with the band that he usually works with both live and that he worked with when creating "O". They are:
Damien Rice: Vocals, guitars, and songwriter
Lisa Hannigan: Vocals
Tomo: Drums
Vyvienne Long: Cello
Shane Fitzsimons: Bass
also featured on this album who was not featured on "O" is Nickie Geddes who plays the Cello on the track "Woman like a Man (Live unplugged)"
"B-Sides" is definitely a great...

---------------------------------------
With a name that sounds more akin to your favourite local, Chicago's best punk rock export, the LawrenceArms, return with an intelligent and moving album that glows eternal. 'The Greatest Story Ever Told', their fourth album, is a bold statement of intellectuality and cadence ; its power surges accompany a warming, gently tugging at your fingers before ripping right into your insides.
Formed at the very end of the last century, 1999 to be exact, the LawrenceArms, which consists of Brendan Kelly (bass/vocals), Neil Hennessy (drums) and Chris(guitar/vocals) have continued to use a dual vocalled approach,allowing the gruff but decisive voices to layer themselves over the guitars in perfect harmony, Making the most of comedic lyrics, the LawrenceArms balance their art and literary entrys, lending a part of the album to every and any personality...
