iTunes Review
Glen Hansard spent more than 15 years performing his spirit-tugging soul-infused alternative rock with the Frames. Popular in Ireland, the Frames never made the Atlantic crossing. It wasn’t until Hansard’s appearance with Czech songwriter Marketa Irglova in the 2007 film Once that his music reached a worldwide mass audience. The couple, linked romantically, split up at the beginning of 2009, but remained together as a musical unit for Strict Joy. Hansard has always channeled Van Morrison in his raspy soulful strut and “Low Rising” and “Feeling the Pull” are the stronger for it. “In These Arms” recalls the alluring whisper of the Frames’ finest quiet works with the added benefit of the couple’s sweet harmonies. Hansard handles the acoustic lilt of “Paper Cut” himself. Irglova comes to the front for the piano and string beauty of “Fantasy Man” and the Celtic-folk inspired “I Have Loved You Wrong.” There is no palpable tension between the couple, but sorrow touches many of the songs and the intimacy is undeniable.

Possibly the most beautiful voices in music today
by ken rocks 2007I was completely in love w/ the soundtrack to ONCE, and this new lp is brilliant, very melancholy, amazing vocals, great arrangements...heartbreaking stuff. You owe it to yourself to listen to this lp. Not sure what stands out to me at the moment, it all sounds great. I love the sound of Glen and Marketa's voices, pure magic.
Definitely buy this edition
by icesk8ngurlStrict Joy itself is lovely, but the live tracks are a lovely bonus. Given the number of songs you get for the price and the fact that some of these live songs (like Go With Happiness, Fitzcarraldo, etc.) are simply STUNNING, it is most definitely worth your money. Also, Glen's banter between songs? Hilarious. You will not regret this purchase.
Better Together Than Alone ...
by Dolphin SongThis CD is every bit as good as Once. And once again, Glen and Mar are far better musically together than on solo track. Together they are magic. She softens his rough edge; he gives her free flow form some musical structure.
The Deluxe CD is the way to go!!!
