Synopsis

Amazon.com
The Long Island-based Nine Days' major-label debut will most likely be remembered for the track "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)." Prominently showcased on TV's Dawson's Creek, the song's mindless but infectious hook was almost guaranteed to hit its mark in yearning young adults. Even without the visual aid, Nine Days' sound works best when they're going for universal emotion instead of quirky wordplay and, though definitely not original, the songs on The Madding Crowd are well-produced and competently executed. While the band claims Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan among their influences (hence the track "Bob Dylan"), they're not far from Third Eye Blind ("Absolutely") or even Bon Jovi ("Sometimes") thanks to vocalist/guitarist John Hampson's raspy voice. The group's mixture of folk, rock, and essential emotional bombast comes naturally to them, even if it seems like the band could be doing so much more. --Jason Josephes

CD Reviews

Actually their fourth album...
Richard Allegretti III | Trenton, NJ United States | 06/11/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"But it was their major label debut. This album is very mainstream and pop(py) at times but shouldn't take away from the fact that these guys are top-flight musicians and interesting songwriters who had been playing together 5 years before this record ever came out. They are more than the throwaway pop that some of the reviews seem to indicate on here. I'm just a really big fan of ninedays and they are currently touring behind a new record (Slow Motion life Pt. 1) and if you get a chance to see them live you should really take it, impessive live act. All six of their other records are available at their official web sites. Please buy all means, if you liked this record at all and are even a little interested in some of their other work (much of it vastly different than what you hear on this album) check them out:

Great music still to be had from them and they are a great bunch of guys who got shafted by

Sony after they wouldn't release their second album since it wasn't as "radio friendly" as this one. It is availabe (for free no less) at (...)



Thanks for listening :-)"
