Claude says:Rice's second album arrived in 2006 after the surprise success of O, though he later admitted he'd have cut half the songs — the label pushed for it when he'd planned to stop at one. A few stray spins in early 2007 didn't register, but by March it clicked, just as the UK was certifying it gold and 9 Crimes was everywhere. You've kept coming back across six distinct runs since then, most recently through 2023–25, leaning hardest on 9 Crimes, Rootless Tree, and Coconut Skins.
