If I Should Fall From Grace With God

If I heard this album play in heaven I would happily skip into the fires of hell. The furthest thing from my taste in music. If I hear an accordion for one more second I’m gonna blow my head smooth off.

Not my cup of tea

Fairytale of New York was a classic but the rest was not for me

I really don’t like the singing on this. The whole album feels like a joke that I don’t find funny. As close to a DNF as I’ve ever gotten

uggh i did not like

1.5 - Bad

This kind of music has very limited applications. I can’t understand how many anyone can listen to a whole album of it. Every song sounds the same.

I’m gonna be completely honest, this was hard album to listen to. I can respect that the profiles are good musicians, and that the lyrics and messages their songs convert can be full of heart and sadness and cheer. But this genre of music is just unappealing to me completely. The flutes, accordion and banjo combo with the snare, this sort of Celtic punk is just produced an instantly skip neuron in my brain that has me itching for the next track, despite it sounding more of the same Like there’s some noticeable differences were things were different, like “Turkish sing of the dammned” and “Fairytale” but ultimately everything would come back to central sound that after so many tracks just after to sound irritating Again, good musicians, poignant words and if you can connect/dance/chant, then more power to you. But it’s something I’ll be leaving as a distant memory. 1/5

What the fuck is this bullshit. Some leprechaun religous crap. Id give it a 0 but least is 1 star

Unintelligible lyrics and way too much fiddling and fluting

Really Celtic folksy music

Álbum com uma sonoridade típico a cultura Irlandês, não acostumado

Jaunty Irish folk and the worst Christmas song of all time

Irish folk is really not for me, I listened to a couple of the songs, but had to skip through most of it.

Reductive, but hearing Dropkick Murphys through a recording played back in a dim & crowded Irish bar isn’t doing it for me.

Irish punk not really my taste

My mum was in an Irish folk band throughout my childhood and this is reminding me way too much of evenings and holidays spent around strangers dancing to music I didn’t understand or like rarely with other children around to hang out with

Nie wierzę, że ten album nie został wykorzystany przez chińskie służby do torturowania szpiegów. Szanty mają specjalne miejsce w piekle a te wanna be szanty już chyba pod samym Lucyferem grajcują

Walk in heard these were playing walked out

1.5/5

This was hard for me to listen to. That’s the point of this list though, so I persevered. Musically of course it’s well played. Some nice ideas here and there that sadly often descend into the same snare shuffle or “jig”. MacGowan has a mean scream though, and I liked that it hinted at punk at times. Repetitive at times and far too jolly throughout. This has been the biggest ask of this challenge so far for me personally. It is what it is, but isn’t for me.

Sounds like aggressive folk music. I looked it up and it's Irish. I was about to comment how the beginning of this album reminded me of Flogging Molly. Went from aggression to clearly a drunk singing at the karaoke bar to probably the most stereotypical Irish sounding music I have ever heard in my life. I think Fiesta is the most...out of pocket song on this album. This is not something I will go back and listen to. In fact, I'm struggling to finish the album.

o.o

i'm not sure what i was expecting, but it wasn't that.

Demasiado creativo ese irish punk como para mí pero me hizo mucha gracia la mezcla de instrumentos

Thanks. Because of you, there is a Dropkick Murphys. I hate amber ale.

This style of music is not for me, except for maybe "Fairytale of New York

Ugh. Not my thing at all.

...then I'm going to Hell.

I thought I liked The Pogues. Turns out I do not actually like The Pogues. Maybe deserves 2 stars, but if this is the top 1001 then it's all relative, man.

not for me o.o

i refused to listen to more than one song

I tried! Got thru 13 of 19 songs. I will never listen to The Pogues again. An hour of this is waaaay too long!

Couldn’t get into this one…only made through bout 20 min.

1.4/i'm sorry irish people but this was the last thing i wanted to be listening to at 9am on a wednesday morning

J - 1/5 Best Track - "Mountain Dew" F - DNL

Not my kind of music tbh

Can't stand to listen to this Irish stuff, awful

the pirates life is not for me:( upbeat, sounds like they are having fun? +30 song about worms -40 too many voices at once (pirate crew?) -10 only good song is christmasy? -5 overall left very confused. don’t tell me songs about sailing and hauling away to Australia aren’t piratey

made sure to listen in a private session

reallly hated this one

I really wish I could give this album fewer stars. Honestly.

Oh my god I hated this so much. I kept trying to convince myself that it’s punk and that I’m just not getting it, but no I get it. It’s Irish folk music, no edge to it just old Irish folk music. Nothing to get excited about. I kept trying to tell myself, no it’s not terrible, it’s just like that Maybe it’s me, I’m willing to admit that. Maybe it’s my fault that this music burns like holy water. I just have no attachment to Irish folk music and I think it’s objectively grating.

Really not for me, very very irish. Long album that seemed very similar all throughout. 3.1/10

I hate the stupid instruments they use amd I hate the shitty vocals.

This was a deeply unpleasant experience, especially at 8 in the morning. I don't understand the appeal of this drunken Irish music unless you yourself are drunk in a pub. Fairytale of New York is one of the worst Christmas songs I've ever heard.

Don't really know them... oh fairytale from new York?? Aight starting the first song: .. I have to listen to an hour of this? 😭😭 not a great start tbh. Song 2 (hihi) ok actually kinda sick "riff" - I give up.. (4 songs in lol 😭) not my vibe at all

Irish dance songs?

HOLY SHIT WHAT GENRE IS THIS jumpscare Okay update: Anglo-Irish Celtic Punk Band wowza Fairytale of New York is my fav so far it was a cute duet can’t complain I fear I’m not Irish enough to fully appreciate this $B sample worms rn creepy as hellll

I fucking hate the Pogues

Can't ever imagine myself listening to this again. They look like nice people but it's not my genre. And I'm not a big fan of that dragging voice. Turkish song of the damned is ok. I prefer this one. It would be fun if it went off in like a small pub in like Ireland. Bottle of smoke, didn't like. I don't get what genre are they? Folk rock? Fairytale of New York is a classic, how can you not love it. It's also a lot softer than their other songs. Though it still has than fun dancy sound to it. Metropolis just sounds like loud random noise. Not for me.

No

Not my taste

Did not enjoy this one bit.

A third of the way in and I cannot bear to listen to more. 'Metropolis' is good though.

Nachme höch chund wider s tüüf. Mit dene Seefahrer-buebe chani absolut gar nüd ahfange. Ein chliine, gstrandete und vertröchnete Seestern für das Theater

Pfuui tüfel. Ganz grusig, hed mine ohre weh tah und null spass gmacht. If i should get eardamage from sound with the pogues by the devils. Ein tüfel ein pubkt

Nope

This was interesting, for like, two songs. It was like, what the hell is folk/punk?! Punk is the antithesis of folk. Oh. OK. So, that's Irish folk/punk. Ok. I get it. And I'm done with it. I guess I needed to hear that before I died so that I knew that there was such a thing as Irish folk/punk? I guess? But, like, how is that useful knowledge? I dunno. This album leaves me with more questions than answers. Actually, no. I have no further questions. I have zero desire to hear this again. Ever.

Not a fan

nao vou ouvir isso ai nao

Bis auf 2-3 Songs unfassbar schlecht. Schlechte Aufnahmequalität, wirklich nicht gut. Ich frage mich wer so ein Album gekauft hat bzw. kauft.

shite

Didn't like it at first but grew on me the more I listened.

no

Ok

An Irish cacophony

Chaotic and borderline incomprehensible at times. The only thing I could make out was that every song sounded exactly the same, with the same cadence and melody pattern, and the same lack of any appeal.

shit

First listen. Nah nah nah nah nah NAH!

One star simply for making me listen to Christmas music in the first week of November.

Not for me, apart from Fairytale of New York, all sounded the same!

No

Wow. Very much not my thing.

It seemed listenable until the “Spanish” number. Oof.

Can see why they had one huge hit and nothing else. Great if you like fiddles and flutes.

Uninteresting and not terribly original. Not necessary to hear before you die.

Nope, nope. 😂 Možda za popiti pivo u pravom Irish pubu, ali da mi to pili sat vremena u pozadini, počela bih vrištati. Boring, beyond boring! Prvi album koji nisam do kraja poslušala, eto i to se dogodilo. 1 ili 2/10 (jer uvijek može gore).

Nikada ih nisam volio. Nakon slušanja ovog albuma ih volim još manje, doslovce si nikada ne bih ovo pustio, a kad mi slučajno naleti, prebacim. Pada prva jedinica, možda je do ponedjeljka, inače bi bili nagrađeni s dvojčicom.

Just not my jam

I am neither drunk, Irish nor a pirate so this music is not for me. This album is so bad it made me racist against the Irish, fuck bono, fuck Liam Neeson, fuck Thin Lizzy, fuck them all. Fuck Irish independence, should be apart of the UK and most of all FUCK GUINESS

Sheesh! Brutal to hear lyrics rhyming “maggot” with the F-word (not f*ck, the other F-word) in a song about Christmas bells in New York.

It’s a no from my, dawg.

I couldn't listen to the whole album, I hated it.

Meh

NO

Nope. Celtic music ain't my thing.

Oh dear. No. I can't do this. Yuck. I may be of distant Irish descent, but I can't take this album seriously. Is it a parody? Even if I was on vacation in Dublin in the 70's and Phil Lynott happened to buy me a pint or two, I couldn't handle this as the background track. Who wrote this book!

Felt like I was in a. Irish pub…

Methheads perform carnival music.

Stunk

St Patrick’s day music. Couldn’t finish this.

golly! totally exchangeable irish folk music...

This is like novelty music to me. It might as well be an album of one-man-band songs. I can barely stomach this shit every St Patrick’s day and when I drank, it was shitty Pogues songs that I’d wash down with hard whisky, not the other way around. Fucking 1 Star

Not my style

I wish I could go back to who I was before I listened to this album

🤢

I’m sorry but it was painful listening to this guys voice and the horrible repetitiveness of this album!

I couldn't make it thru. folk punk is not great

this is so far from my taste in music I just can't really listen. Maybe I'll come back another time

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- If I Should Fall from Grace with God Not a fan of folk music and especially folk music where I don't understand what is being said (I have a feeling I will be saying this about most songs in this album) 2- Turkish Song of the Damned Definitely a better song than its predecessor, a lot better, but not good enough to warrant me adding it to my playlist 3- Bottle of Smoke I love the YEEEEWWWWW (all these songs sound the same to me) 4- Fairytale of New York THEY SAID THE F WORD!!! (the gay one) that's all I remembered about this song 5- Metropolis no 6- Thousands Are Sailing no 7-Fiesta no I CBA LISTENING ANYMORE I DONT LIKE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC SORRY IRISH PEOPLE TOP 3: NOOOO

This is my kind of album! Reminds me of my time in the south 👴🏻 Music: 1/5 The guy in the middle's aerodynamics: 1/5 (I'm sorry I just cannot physically understand the appeal of folk)

dumb! Dumb!! DUMB!!! This is just stupid silly music that’s very watered down and saturated. It feels like they were all just hanging out at a pub, and decided “let’s do Irish punk for bar fighting”, and there they went, off to the races! Making the most cliché, stereotypical music that would sound like bar fighting Irish punk. This is music that you would only play on st. Patti’s day in a bar for a pub crawl, or background music for a funny bar fighting movie scene, but it’s hard to take it as serious music because it lacks authenticity which is why I said it’s watered down and saturated.

Irish pirate music is just not my thing, unless I am exactly 3 Guinness’s deep at the wee pub. Would’ve maybe given it two stars if they didn’t say the f word twice

You can only listen to so much Celtic Punk & typically it has to be closer to St. Patty's Day. 🙃

More garbage

This might nearly take the cake for the worst album I’ve listened to on here

Nah. Seems wrong to give an album 1 star that includes Fairytale of New York but I was just waiting for this to end and don’t see myself ever coming back to it. I’m sure it’s a great album if you love Irish folk but it was very much not for me.

Not the type of music I enjoy, like not at all

NO - Polka!

If there was an Irish spin on a Polka Festival that took place in the Boston Harbor, this would probably be the soundtrack

bro the way they reorganized the tracklist for the expanded edition irks me so bad. like HOW do og tracks become bonus tracks in the reissue????? bottle of smoke is kinda tough bro what is that interpolation on metropolis...crazy vibe switch and damn an even crazier vibe switch with fiesta "guys what if we all just cheered haha like we were all like super hype" -a really smart guy who is really good at making music

Really didn’t enjoy this one. Not a fan of Irish music.

Not a fan

Irish Pub background music. No pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.

Except for track 4: Fairy Tale of NY, this record is not my cup of tea. Truthfully, this music genre kills my soul. I am not a fan. It kinda hurts.

i hate it just not my thing, i guess makes me regret all one-star ratings thus far, as i enjoyed all of them more than this ⭐

Not my jam. I found it difficult to take in the lyrics, which I imagine is the main focus of this music. Standout Track: Worms

Not for me

Wtf is this. Didn't expect this kind of music to appear, but it just shows the variety of the albums.

Could not finish, just so not my thing. Felt like I was in an adventure, medieval video game, completing a quest somewhere in a pub or a tavern, where a bunch of fat, angry, red-headed men are drinking beer and burping. Not a fan. Fairytale of New York was a bit more manageable to listen to. I guess Kirsty MacColl was the slightly redeeming part.

Awful shit

Giving this a 1 because i can't stand their christmas song that gets played to death. Didn't even listen to album. What a bastard man i am.

Unlistenable

Don't like it, Irish djanglin

Did not finish; not my style

The album that gave us THE go-to karaoke song for guys who have make their drinking problem their personality.

Really just not my style of music :(

Aside from the obvious hit single, the album didn't really resonate with me.

what the fuck is this lool

nej

Folk-rock, med for meget vægt på folk, harmonika, virkelig en vibe

just dont think the pogues are for me

Verschrikkelijk! -5 sterren

Nope.

Ik heb echt een bloedhekel aan de Pogues. Dronkemans-gewauwel.

The Pogues are a unique and dynamic band but their style doesn’t get a lot of mileage with me. I do love the drunkard’s brogue of the lead singer but I can’t do much Irish folk music.

I'm sorry but it all just sounds silly to me

No ty

I'm sure that this is a great album as far as Irish folk music is concerned. Problem is, Irish folk music is an unrelenting assault on my eardrums and my better senses. Maybe you have to be Irish to understand it -clearly I'm not Irish.

Apart from Fairytale in NY I really can’t get into the vast majority. Too much fiddle.

👎🏼

Waarom staat dit er tussen

Not for me

This genre of music is almost painful to listen to.

не ну вот если окажусь в лондоне в пабе в 15какомнить году, то угарну за это, а так...

no bueno

Nope.

Not for me

Only one song

Irish Got second vaccination

if i should fall from grace with god: q verga es esto, sounds a lil racist / turkish song of the damned: q mal suenan posta / bottle of smoke: :///// / fairytale of new york: la verdad q es raro q una canción de navidad no me guste pero esta se lució / metropolis: suficiente tortura por hoy no escucho más

no hay comentario de cada canción porque todas están todas horribles. postdata: el q está en el medio del album parece el john shelby

What the

Really isn't any different than the other album on this list. Why both are needed is beyond me. There's too many conditions you need in order to like this: be drunk, be drunk with friends, your friends have to be drunk, you have to be at a pub, you have to be at an Irish pub, you have to be in the mood to sing Irish folk punk, then you can enjoy this. Since there's so many conditions needed you probably don't need both these Pogues albums. Choose one and you're ok.
