The Pogues have a great energy that takes traditional Irish folk structures and infuses them with a grimy, urban punk-rock. This is music to be enjoyed live and I only wish I could have had to opportunity to watch them at this time. Also, it's mandatory to give this album a nod for including the best Christmas song ever produced by a rock band. It's become a bit of a national treasure and it's the only one I don't mind hearing every year. My criticism of this album is that it's a bit of a one trick pony. Once you have heard the first ten minutes there is little point in continuing to listen. That, and the production quality of the version I listened to was quite murky, with poor instrument separation and unclear vocals. The Pogues are a classic band that contributed much to British pop culture, but as an album to listen to from start to finish, this doesn't quite scratch the itch.
"Fairytale of New York" all by itself makes this album essential listening, and the rest of the tracks are filled with upbeat, infectious tracks that are simply irresistible. I'm probably rounding up with my rating because it seems like forever since I was last offered a decent album to listen to, but four stars doesn't seem quite high enough.
Better than I thought it would be. Plus, Fairytale in New York... 3.5/5
Not quite as good as Rum, Sodomy and the Lash, but still a good Pogues romp
RIP Shane MacGowan. From the most beautiful Christmas song ever written to an album that spawned a genre and a million bands to follow. There is/was nothing like the Pouges! I don’t know how you can find a weak spot or complain about a second of this album.
I wasn’t psyched about The Pogues because I’m generally not a fan of other bands that sound like this, but I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this album.
This is great music with incredible energy and distinctive vibe. By all accounts the lyrics are sensational throughout, although I haven't focused on them. I'm marking it down a bit because it's just too long and gets far too same-y over the course of an hour, and having a Christmas song on an album never feels right - even if it is arguably the best one ever written The album for sure deserves to be on this list regardless. 7/10
Cool for like 2 songs then it lost me
pretty good
Liked Breaking the girl Mellowship slinky in major B The power of equalty
it my cup of tea whatsoever…
A lot of artists in the 80s really needed to have the word "faggot" taken from them and placed high up on the shelf. Even if used in a "Money for Nothing 'Scumbag POV'" way it still weighs down what is probably the best song on this album (Fairytales of New York). That aside, I don't think I would've needed a Wikipedia article to tell me this band was unabashedly Irish. 6.5/10.
7/10 This was a very interesting listen. I liked the creative fusion of genres, but I wish the second half was as interesting as the first.
Sea shanty Irish folk punk. Most famous song is a Christmas carol. Do the Pogues win the award for most esoteric and convoluted genre? I love bands that defy normal characterisation. You've got to love them. I came of age in Flogging Molly mosh pits and saying there would be no FM without the Pogues is the understatement of the century. Shane McGowan might be the ugliest person ever to be famous. The Christmas Carol is a wonderful tune that only a bunch of sad Irish people could write. Irish people aren't sad enough any more, they're economy is doing too well to create good art. Everything starts to sounds very similar after a while, but that's the vibe, relax, have a Jameson's and be one with the tin whistle and the accordion
I feel like a king being entertained by his jesters

Two pogues albums is more than I would have thought on this list. It’s good, I like their vibe, but this one stays a little too long. Their folk stuff is good, and I’m always down for a harmony, and the guests are good, but it’s still too much of the same and the same is only okay.
If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues 1988 Taking a pause from the challenge was well worth it to fully sit with If I Should Fall From Grace With God. Every single listening session delivered. The album acts as a brilliant, masterfully crafted introduction to Celtic and Irish culture, perfectly balancing a raw, witty, and humorous attitude with a highly focused artistic execution. The instrumentation and lyricism feel incredibly alive, maintaining a sharp creative image without ever losing their edge. While a handful of tracks immediately demand a revisit—including the chaotic, fast-paced energy of "Fiesta," the driving narratives of "Turkish Song of the Damned" and "Bottle of Smoke," the traditional multi-part execution of the "Medley," and the politically charged weight of "Streets of Sorrow / Birmingham Six"—the record stands tall as a cohesive piece. It is a fantastic return to form for the journey. 4/5
Irish punk hell yeah
Jsuis pas assez roux pour ça.
country music, wie es auch sounds gut findet. Partymusik für Nostalgiker.
The mighty Pogues - my favourite drunken pub band!
Not my kinda music tbh
Its fun for two songs and then it gets stale. Just a little to mutch for me. The irish foldband didnt hit for me.
Now this is the kind of folk music I appreciate. I don't think it's punky at all, but the spirit may lie in the lyrics which I for the life of me cannot comprehend. This record has two things holding it back. The length and the awful christmas song. I would've given it an 8, but those knock it down to a 7. I REALLY hate christmas songs.
The thing with Irish folk punk music is, I don't dislike it. But I really need to be in the mood to properly listen to it, and this was not the time for me. While listening to it, it just sounded like some neat Irish folk/punk, it was good but also nothing too special in that genre if I'm completely honest.
No es mi estilo
It’s cool but I don’t think I’d return to it tbh
this is the music for me... love these guys. erin go bragh!
3.4
1/5. It sounds okay and toes into enjoyable, but stays within a sound that is akin to... precursor boom clap hey/pirate/folk music that never finds a natural cohesion.
i love the scot’s they are so funny
tend to put these on on my morning commute. couldn't quite do it. asked a coworker, she knows them as a bar band. i think that felt right.
It’s not as good as Rum, Sodomy and the Lash but it is still a riot, bringing a punk sensibility to Irish folk music.
I liked that this made Alice roll her eyes at me when ‘fairytale of New York’ came on, like I was being deliberately contrarian by playing Christmas music in June. Accidentally listened to the extended edition of this and an hour was a bit too much for me. Decent enough, but there is only so much of Shane McGowan’s awful voice (sure, it adds a degree of rambunctiousness that suits the music here) that I can endure. Relentlessly energetic, it’s the kind of stuff I can absolutely see being played in an Irish bar with the locals all joining in with.
If I Should Fall from Grace with God by The Pogues feels like walking straight into an Irish pub. At first, you're completely swept up by the lively folk songs and infectious energy. But after a while, you start thinking about heading to a different pub, simply because you've had your fill. It once again proves that very few artists can make an album that stays engaging for over an hour.
Didn't enjoy this nearly as much as their first album. Hectic, chaotic and made my head hurt.
q carajos es esto
Great energy. Dynamic instrumentation. Sadly, this isn’t really my jam.
The P-oh-gs. I have today gained awareness of an unforeseen Platonic ideal: Celtic folk-punk. It takes me back to this Shrek game I used to play on my grandparents' PS1, which had a kickin' Irish soundtrack that just went on and on and on--a strange connection, but a madeleine to pleasant aimless summer days nevertheless. I struggle to name a mood when I'd seek this out, but I appreciate the storytelling, adventurousness, and especially the more tender songs..."Fairytale of New York" and "Thousands Are Sailing."
A little Pogues goes a long way for me, and this time even a little was too long. I own Pogues’ records and have seen them twice live (once with Joe Strummer instead of Shane MacGowan), so there is some love for the band. Their Irish reels meet punk sensibilities meet heartbreaking drinking odes have connected to a decent extent with me in the past. However, if The Pogues are great music when drinking, this listening felt more like a hangover. I literally came close to dizziness cycling through the first three songs, which all seemed to feature the ring-a-round Pogues sound until I was falling down. I was glad “Fairytale of New York” came on to steady myself. It was great that the Pogues had a hit that bought them houses, but I have never been a big fan of this song. Scrooge I forever will be. Other Pogues’ records presented their unique mix in a more exciting manner. I also did not find the ballads on If I Should Fall By the Grace of God as tender as other Pogues’ cuts. They could not reach their own depths, let alone someone like Tom Waits. Lacking the revelry and despair that the music requires, I have to give this album a low rating.
It's an acceptable album; it's not my favorite music, but it's acceptable.
Nothing has ever been more not-for-me, or rather just less-for-me. Totally irredeemable.
Jesus Christ this was awful
There's a different energy here compared to Rum Sodomy & The Lash. MacGowan sounds even more rough, his voice now carrying a bit of a mean streak. It really gives the tracks an edgier feel, which I welcome. However, the edge is lacking in other departments. While The Pogues slightly diversify their sound with this album (Turkish Song of the Damned signfies this right at the start), ironically I feel like the album loses its legs much quicker than its predecessor. I can't quite figure out why that is, maybe losing Costello as a producer played a part, or maybe it's just a case of slightly worse sequencing. Still, any time spent with The Pogues is time well spent in my book. There are a lot of great tracks to take away from this album. I wouldn't mind a couple of others being outright cut, though. Favourite track: Turkish Song of the Damned
Very difficult to make it through this one. Would rather listen to circus music.
Not sure what else you can ask from an album. It has maybe the greatest Christmas song of all time, Irish folk played like punk, Celtic jazz, Spanish guitar, and exudes the atmosphere of a pub. Mostly though it immediately sent me back to my honeymoon, days before Christmas, singing along to “Fairytale of New York” with my wife and the locals. Hard to review this like a normal album when it makes my brain feel like I'm already two pints in. 5/5.
I enjoy Celtic punk... in moderation. This felt a little too long for me. There were some bangers though.
This is a five star. I’ve heard this album enough to know that. From falling from the frace of god to aouth australia, every track a banger. The choonz are infectious, Shane McGowan’s voice like a rum soaked cheesegrater, the writing poetic and flow infectious(wailing away on the wall on the strand - is there a finer example of a tounge twister in music?). There is a story like quality to the writing. The album is not as punk in feel as the first 2, but that’s not a bad thing. I feel like i learn something about the world listening to this album, like reqding a novel, all while wanting to dance.
The Broad Majestic Shannon is exactly Fairytale of New York. Classic Jesus and Mary Chain move. You have to respect it. 2.4/5
It grows on you a lil
Fairytale of NY alone gives this one a 5
I liked this album far more than expected!
n entendi como esse foi parar no top 200 pq é mt goofy, mas tudo bem
🇨🇮🇨🇮irish moment 🇨🇮🍀🍀🍀
2 sterne
General thoughts: My instant reaction was - "What is this? Old-looking cover, but it's 1988? [See tags] Punk? Rock? Folk? Explicit? [10s in] Ok, makes sense" The Poges brings in a lot of puzzle pieces of different shapes and unexpectedly makes a nice portrait out of them. Now I see what they mean about punk being Irish. Their culture is pretty punk-ish by definition. Songs of patriotism, of defiance, honor, bravery, or just everyday life. Sounds from all around the world. Deserts, pirates, Mexicans. Basically, whatever represents Irish values, lol. The lead's voice also adds to this atmosphere; it's really fitting for the genre. The instruments are definitely an interesting part of their proposal; all of them are regional and typical of Celtic folklore, and together they deliver an energetic and explosive performance. These two elements make the album experience very cohesive; weirdly, it also makes it wide and narrow at the same time. The album can be tiring at first; I think they're more enjoyable as individual tracks. Otherwise, you'll hear everything just as Celtic folk-punk. The medleys are a hit or miss; I'd prefer only to keep the best part of them and use them as interludes to control the pace, which, by the way, 'Metropolis' did perfectly. Worms as a post-closer was cool, but the actual closer was pretty underwhelming, contrary to the opener and title track, which really bring the energy up and set the momentum. Yeah, probably more spacing would have made the album experience more enjoyable. It's not 'just a collection of singles', definitely, but the setlist could have been better thought out. Outstanding song(s): Metropolis Fiesta - lol the lyrics make no sense Weakest song(s): The Broad Majestic Shannon Cover: After the first unexpected impression, it's a pretty mild cover Real rating: 3.26
4 Wasn't expecting to be belting out Christmas songs on the way to work on a May morning haha. Enjoyed this
This was initially a 4 for me, however it lost a star just because of its general hokiness. I don't need a Christmas duet (which also happens to be their most popular song), or some guy in the back shouting "ey!" In literally every single fucking track. Not to mention the one Hispanic themed track aged like milk in the desert sun
This is a great fun listen. Not my favourite Pogues album, but still good. Caused me to read about the Birmingham Six and the quote from Lord Denning rejecting one of their civil cases go any further is staggering: "If the six men win, it will mean that the police were guilty of perjury, that they were guilty of violence and threats, that the confessions were involuntary and were improperly admitted in evidence and that the convictions were erroneous. ...This is such an appalling vista that every sensible person in the land would say: It cannot be right that these actions should go any further." Genuinely couldn't conceive of police corruption.
Love the irish folk/rock sound
Pogues! Pogues! Pogues! Pogues! Five stars for Fairytale of New York alone!
I will never like the pogues.
Me sorprendió
I really like this album haven't listened anything as unique before with the Irish mixed into rock but it's hard because I won't listen to this kinda music in my free time so with that I'm giving it a 4.
The Pogues are always the first band I think of when I think of Irish music. This album is a good indicator of that being the truth. Traditional Irish sounds throughout the record, including couple of traditional songs like The Rocky Road to Dublin and the Irish Rover being done on this one. A Fairytale in New York is one of the greatest songs ever written. Felt a little odd listening to it in May but was still quite happy to to hear it on the way to work today.
А это неожиданно, очень звучное сочетание оркестра
Gee, wonder where Mumford and the Avett Bros stole all their supposedly "original" material? 🙄 Thirty years earlier and so, so much better.
Wat een afschrikwekkend nare sound is dit… een Iers carnaval der malloten… dan te beseffen dat mijn vriendin dat kerstlied fantastisch vind. Daardoor ga ik toch twijfelen of mijn stemgeluid ook niet net zo catastrofaal en door je ziel heen gaat… Nee grapje, niet mijn muziek wel leuk geëxperimenteerd.
MacGowan’s vocals present a risk of causing secondhand drunkenness, but it’s worth it.
Their energy is infectious and their sound raucous (and I’ll fight anyone who says different).
Ik dacht ik sla een paar over en ik doe weer leuk mee. Kwam deze verschrikking, ik heb echt leuke albums moeten overslaan… Het klonk alsof mumford en sons een carnavalsplaat ging maken met een dronken Ier van de straat geplukt. Voor sommige mensen klinkt dat leuk, maar niet voor mij. Dat kerstliedje is ook verschrikkelijk, maar het dieptepunt is toch wel dat nummer mountain dew. Als je kijkt in welk jaar dit album is gemaakt lijkt het me alsof ze een retroplaat hebben gemaakt als tegenhanger van de mainstream muziek van die tijd. Ik vind dat als je het niet eens bent met de hedendaagse mainstream muziek je iets vernieuwends moet maken in plaats van terug vallen in wat daar voor al niet leuk was. Mijn allergie voor de banjo is nog groter geworden na het luisteren van dit album.
Het is niet één van de 1001 meest aangename albums ooit gemaakt. Toch heb ik wel geboeid geluisterd naar de verhalen. Liefde voor Ierland en de moeilijkheden die bij dat leven horen. Van Ieren in ballingschap die zijn gevlucht voor de hongersnood of een afwezige dronken vader die een slaapliedje zingt na het doorhalen in de kroeg in plaats van thuis te zijn. Over vals veroordeelde Ieren door het Britse rechtssysteem en ondanks alle ellende en boosheid hoor je toch een onaantastbaarheid en energie die ik wel mooi vind. Het blijft wel in de folk traditie doormiddel van vertellen via personages. Dit werkt wel goed omdat je anders misschien gaat irriteren aan de verteller die alleen maar over zijn eigen verhalen zing, nu word het groter en is het een verhaal van een hele gemeenschap. Muzikaal gezien is het niet heel verfijnt maar dat zal ook niet de bedoeling geweest zijn. Het schuurt aan alle kanten en dat werkt wel goed. Het bekendste nummer Fairytale of New York is ook een aangename tegenhanger tijdens kerst. 3 is te laag en 4 te hoog. Leuk om paar te te luisteren maar zal waarschijnlijk niet terugkeren naar dit album. Dan toch de 3
Het genre folk-punk is niet echt voor mij weggelegd, oké ik moet zeggen dat een beetje diversiteit in de lijst altijd welkom is maar soms wordt de plank volledig mis geslagen. Op het Wikipedia dingetje stond dat t kerstnummer hun grootste hit was maar die was dan ook het meest afschuwelijk. Verder kreeg ik vaak het gevoel dat ik me in een Ierse pub bevond, kan een vibe zijn met een paar Guinness achter de kiezen en lekker mee brallen, maar nuchter is t niet veel aan. Stem van de zanger was ook nogal onprettig.
wtf
i cant handle it
I both like it and find it enervating. I can enjoy a song or two, but a whole album gets to be too much.
It's probably the best Irish punk album.
Enjoyed this a lot more than Rum Sodomy & The Lash. Not sure I'll ever consider myself a fan, but I appreciate a lot more what they're doing as a band
Perfectly enjoyable, energetic Irish tunes.
OOh, for the love of god! I am so happy I am not Irish and have to listen to this as part of my heritage! I van take one or two songs... Max!
Music to drink to.
This album really was a nice experience being engulfed in the irish folk scene. Though that's not something I really listen too a lot I could really appreciate a lot of songs here and was swept up by the mood brought in some of them. 1. Fairytale of New York 2. If I Should Fall from Grace with God 3. Lullaby of London
awesome! punk. celtic. energy. fun.
This challenge has showed me I do in fact like the pogues, loved their debut when that appeared! But this wasn’t a must listen at all. Although I did enjoy getting to listen to Fairytale of New York guilt free in May.
I absolutely loved this album! It’s so much fun and surprisingly eclectic.
Good stuff. I prefer the instrumentals but they're all pretty good.
Diddly diddly dee - sorry can't stand this. Fairytale is the only redeeming song but its been played to death, so i hate that as well!
Dropkick Murphys' ancestors. Very similar vibe I think
Pretty decent. I like the blend of Irish folk and punk. Does enough to remain interesting for the duration. Sets up the sequels by the Dropkick Murphys nicely.
Pretty good but an hour is a lot of fiddling
Emotional listening to Shane
This is the kind of punk rock my brain accepts more than, say, Germ
Very early Dropkick Murphys-esque which makes sense because it’s from essentially the same time.
Loved the whole vibe here. Could listen to this straight through. Love the creativity and style!
Never heard this before and I can't say the replay value is too great for me but you can't help feel dragged along by the feeling this album creates. An impressive feat. However, there is still maybe a bit too much of it for one album. Has the best Christmas song on it too which is a bonus.
One of the angriest albums ever
Not a fan of this genre, cant give objective rating
Irish punk. Not my thing but it's fine Got a thumbs up in "Fiesta" it may not last.
If I Should Fall from Grace with God - 9/10. Awesome Celtic Folk/Punk. Turkish Song of the Damned - 9/10. I have no idea what I expected. It wasn't this. Absolute banger. Bottle of Smoke - 10/10. Shane McGowan (may he rest in peace) in full Patter Song mode is exactly the thing I didn't know I needed to hear. Over top of full Celtic Punk is incredible. Fairytale of New York - 11/10. One of the first songs of this challenge (205 albums in) that I can't help but sing along to the whole thing. It's completely perfect in hitting every emotion I have, and it absolutely goes to 11. Metropolis - 10/10. Once again, I don't know what I was expecting, but this isn't it ... in the best possible way. Thousands are Sailing - 11/10. I started ugly crying about one line into the song and kept on through the song. Because my own ancestors are part of the Irish Diaspora this song memorializes. This song is for you, Great-Grandfather Tim, one of the thousands who sailed. Fiesta - 8/10. Celebrating Latin immigrants in the way that only an Irish Punk band can. Great musicianship, if a little jarring a change from Thousands Are Sailing. The Recruiting Sergeant/Rocky Road to Dublin/Galway Races - 9/10. Relentlessly Irish. Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six - 10/10. The voice of Irish sorrow and pain at the treatment by the English. Incredible. Lullaby of London - 9/10. Smooth and simple. Awesome. Sit Down by the Fire - 9/10. Relentlessly Irish and awesome. The Broad Majestic Shannon - 8/10. Not hopeful, per se, but almost defying sorrow and pain to find out. Worms - 5/10. Weird and not like the rest of the album. The Battle March Medley - 9/10. I love it. The Irish Rover - 10/10. Absolute perfection. The Dubliners are the perfect addition. Mountain Dew - 10/10. A great rendition of this classic Irish folk song. Again, possibly the two most Irish bands ever together. Shanne Bradley - 9/10. Great instrumental. Love it. Sketches of Spain - 8/10. Fun and really good. South Australia - 9/10. You knew there had to be one, last shot fired at the English for all of the Irish Diaspora in Exile. Overall Rating - 4.55/5 (9.11/10). Celtic Folk Punk is a very specific musical space. The Pogues are its pinnacle. Awesome album from beginning to end.
Listening to Shane MacGowan is more like drinking whisky than drinking whisky is. It's almost so Irish as to feel appropriative, except it's authentic, it's actually Shane and Co. On previous attempts with the Pogues (mostly the other album that is almost assuredly on the list), that deep Irishness has been a roadblock, because of how it imbues the sound of every track. Maybe I'm in a better mood or more open, or maybe this is just a better album, but it isn't really hurting it this time. Maybe that's in part due to Fairytale of New York, the down-on-luck anti-love-song that manages to be one of the few tolerable Christmas songs AND few tolerable songs including casual homophobia. Kirsty MacColl probably goes a long way there. But the Celtic throughline mixes with so many other sounds… latin vibes, eastern influences, spy movie soundtracks, and of course, plenty of punk cutting through it. It doesn't sound like trite drinking music like so many other Irish punk (and especially Irish American punk) bands… Shane definitely always sounds 8 sheets to the wind… he was basically Amy Winehouse before Amy Winehouse as that goes… but he has something to say through that busted mouth of his. This album is frontloaded, for sure… the weird vibe of Fiesta, not to mention the medley, or ending with Worms, makes the second side weaker… but that first side makes a super strong case already, so I think i feel comfortable keeping this at a light 4*. I'll be keeping a lookout for this in the crates.
That was an experience…. That’s for sure
i assumed this was going to be obnoxious but it showed restraint and was actually really good
Oh hell ya
Not for general listening and not really for me. It feels like a sound track to something. It was be a banger in an 1800s pirate tavern. It does some interesting stuff, but it's not for me
A unique mixture of global music, that all seemed to revert back to jigs.
There are many times if I know an album was released between 1986 and 1989 it's going to have so many hallmark recording sins of the 80's that will ruin what could potentially be there. This album proves that didn't always have to be the case. I'll have Irish music moods but the Pogues get to be an anytime listen. When I'm at my most ecstatic or world weary, doesn't matter. Lyrics actually worth hearing to fit great music. Timeless classic.
A whole album of 'Home for a Rest'. This is incredible!
A number of these tracks are on various holiday playlists of mine. But I don’t think I have ever listened to the album. About half way in, I thought I might need a break, but I am glad I saw it through. I would never throw this on. But I loved it all. I do believe it is best kept where it is, spread out over my holidays with Fairytale of New York nestled nicely between Bing Crosby and Mariah Carey. Boolean: yes, definitely glad to have heard before I die.
10/10
In 89 or so, my friends and I went to see The Pogues at the Boston Opera House. We sat about a mile from the stage, but I remember that the show was fantastic, though the details are a little hazy. After the last encore, we ran around to the back of the building hoping to catch the band on their way to the bus. Sure enough, after a while, Shane McGowan came out, a little unsteadily, vomited like he was used to it, and climbed into the bus. Even in those days, I could see that this was sad.
Fun
Great music to have a beer and a smoke . It’s like going to a good old house party.
Well I’ve really enjoyed both Pogues albums on the list now. I didn’t know any songs bar the obvious, and it was strange listening to a Christmas song in May, moreover, it’s kind of strange having a Christmas song on a studio album but I enjoyed nonetheless. I liked the variety on display here and the energy makes me want to hear them live, even if it is probably too late for that now.
A raucous record with punk-influenced Irish folk/traditional music. Lots of banjo, accordion, tin whistle and other traditional instruments overlaid by Shane MacGowan's signature enthusiastic drunken, slurred vocal delivery. The record opens with the title track and two more fun foot-stomping dance-inducing tunes, but then slows the pace with the famous Christmas-themed ballad "Fairytale of New York". The subsequent songs' quality don't always quite reach the excellence of those first four, particularly when they venture into other ethnic styles, but overall a fun collection. The Recruiting Sergeant / The Rocky Road to Dublin / Galway Races medley is magnificent. Great songs, and except for some slightly dated 80s tinges on bits of some songs, great production.
Dnf
35/1089 If I Should Fall from Grace with God by The Pogues Alright, I was excited for this one. It just sounds fun from the start. Feels like the kind of album where you need a few beers and to split the G on a couple of Guinnesses while listening. It’s definitely an interesting album. The whole Irish folk punk sound is very fresh to me since I’m not really experienced with Irish music at all. There’s a lot of personality and energy here, and the songs are all pretty enjoyable on their own. But as a full album it started to feel a bit repetitive for me. The sailing, drinking, Viking-pub energy eventually blurred together a little. Maybe this is one of those records that really comes alive in the right setting with friends and drinks around you. “Fairytale of New York” is obviously a classic though. Overall I enjoyed it, and I could definitely see myself revisiting it sometime. Wine pairing? Absolutely not wine. We’re splitting the G with Guinness for this one. Food pairing? Irish stew with soda bread. Feels mandatory honestly. Favourite song? “Fairytale of New York”. Vinyl? Not for now. First listen? Yes. Overall 3 out of 5.
Nobody blends punk with Celtic music like the Pogues. They were the pioneers in that music style and created something no one had ever come up with before. On the positive side, this is a really well put together album, with a surprising twist of several other types of music. There is even a Christmas song, which most of you have likely heard even if you aren't into the Pogues. On the negative side, this album is really long and if you aren't into this kind of music, it gets very repetitive and would be hard to listen to. This is the type of album that you want to hear in an Irish pub while drinking a pint, but maybe not something you would seek out otherwise.
One of the best irish music albums I've listened to and in spirit, this sounds like a punk album and it works. I've had a lot of fun with this. It's not the greatest album I've heard, but it's great. Strong 4/5
Mad that I didn't get this on St. Patrick's Day. 3.5/5.0: Very Good
the precursor to flogging molly, this was a super fun listen
I hated the title track with a passion. But by the time I got to bottle of smoke I was laughing.
raro, muy irlandes, pero bueno
This was a great folk-punk album. I had never heard of these guys, but being a fan of the likes of Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, this was a treat. It was maybe a bit long - Apple Music only offered the expanded edition - but I really enjoyed it.
"Fairytale of New York" is my all-time favorite secular Christmas song, and it has been since before I knew that the track just appears in the middle of a non-holiday album. Shane MacGowan was a treasure in his own way. The cover photo makes them look quite respectable.
I see who Dropkick Murphys were influenced by! Top energy
Features one of the best Christmas songs of all time, along a bunch of other fantastically written and moody songs! I very much enjoyed listening to this!
I’d rather die than listen to another song on this album. This was genuinely some of the worst music I’ve ever heard in my life.
But really WHO is listening to this Just not for me.
I had a lot of fun listening to this album I really liked it it was full of joy and whimsey.
Didn't hate it as much as I thought I would to be honest. Actually was banging at times!
I prefer the other Pogues album on the list, but this was a delightful change of pace and a nice listen too.
Irish Folk music with some punk. An entire album is a bit much at a time. I also prefer the songs with more traditional elements and less punk.
1. "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" 2. "Fairytale of New York" 3. "Thousands Are Sailing"
It's a decent Irish folk rock album and that's about it. It doesn't do anything exceptionally different or noteworthy aside from being well made. 3.3/5
3.8 I was getting quite into that. Album ended at the perfect time, as I was starting to think that these songs are staring to sound the same, and then Brand Majestic Shannon came on which is basically a carbon copy of Fairytale. Never realised Fiesta was by the Pogues! One of the weaker tracks anyway, the fast paced Celtic bits (which to be fair were most of the album) was were the real highlights sat. I'm ignoring the bonus tracks as I think the album was a good length in its original form.
Мне показался этот альбом скучным и переполненым какими то совершенно ненужным деталями: всякие крики и некоторые аранжировки.
No. 2 stars
I loved this album. I wish I was drinking a pint and singing along at the pub. The album went much better for me when I switched on the Karaoke/lyrics tab on Spotify and could understand what the Hell they were talking about.
Tämä löytyy omasta levyhyllystä ja tätä on tullut paljon kuunneltua jo 35 vuotta. Osaan kaikkien biisien sanatkin. Täyden kympin levy ja jos bändi on uusi tuttavuus, tästä kokonaisuudesta on hyvä lähteä tutustumaan.
Nothing wrong with it, just not my thing.
Hello, I am 2% Irish
This band absoluely rules and this album does not disappoint. Should be in everyone's rotation!
I've mentioned joy in my reviews of a couple African albums we've had so far, and I think being joyful and merry is also very important to Irish culture. You can hear it in the music. I don't know if there's a name for the 16th note melodies with lots of trills that are characteristic of Irish music, often played by the flute or the violin, but those melodies might be my favorite part of the tradition. This album had a lot of of melodies like that, as well as other elements that I like about Irish music. I have to say I preferred the folk elements to the rock elements, but overall this album was brimming with energy. strong, three to a light four
My ("original release") CD of this only has 15 tracks, for what it's worth. Anyway, I'm struggling a bit with how to rate this, but I think I'm going to go with my heart, and give it 5 stars. Not all of the songs are great, but most are either great or very good, plus I love the Irish-ness of it, and Shane MacGowan's voice (it took me a little while to get used to it - but that was a long time ago), and the mix of traditional and modern music and instrumentation and styles. And the stirring, and fun, tunes. At the time (when this came out, and when the Pogues first started to become known), I really hadn't heard much of anything like this (the blend of traditional Irish music with a more modern - almost punk - edge). This also came out around when Granddad started leading tours in Ireland (I went with a group -- which also included Gary and Debbie -- in 1990), and was thus part of me starting to become more aware of modern Ireland, and Irish culture. 5 stars!
fun album. My favorite track is Worms I'm definitely biased because I've been listening to a lot of Irish music in the past two years. There are a few bangers on here and also enough variety to keep it interesting. I used to be put off by the lead singer's voice, but not so much now, I guess
Nice Punk rock combined with Irish Folk
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE IRISH ROVER IS SO FUN
Aika meh. Ei oikein kyllä nappaa isommin. Ei kuitenkaan ihan paskettia
tais täs pari hyvää biisiä olla, vähän sekava kuva jäi
Tämähän oli ihan hauskaa meininkiä.
Kyl pepsodent-hymystä voi kolkin antaa vaikkei tää nyt kauheen hyvin lähe.
Jes! Pogues maistuu aina, vaikka omissa papereissani tämä onkin vasta toiseksi paras levy Rum, Sodomy & The Lashin jälkeen. Ote on aika paljon popimpi kun sillä, mutta ei se nyt varsinaisesti haittaa. Tosi mukavaa kuunneltavaa ja helvetin hyviä biisejä, kirkkaimpana kruununa tietysti Fairytale of New York joka on aikalailla ainoa joululaulu jota kuuntelen vapaaehtoisesti - aivan huikean upea biisi. Ehkä tosiaan kokonaisuus on hippasen verran tylsempi kun viiden tähden RS&L:llä. Sen vuoksi neljä tähteä, hyvin vahvat neljä tähteä kuitenkin.
The music is polarizing, and I'm on the love side vs. hate. I get that it'd be tough to listen to this day in day out, but it's a nice change of pace, and I like the energy and the lyrics of many of these songs. Fairytale of New York is enough to give this album a 4.
Great stuff. They're not my favorite Irish band, but they are probably the most Irish sounding band that I listen to. This is a great album.
Very entertaining
Oh my god, this was DELIGHTFUL. I'm already a sucker for Celtic Rock and Punk, so it's a wonder I've never heard this album before now. I've always been aware of The Pogues but for whatever reason I just never checked them out. I'm glad that's been broken, because holy crap. This album is a lot of fun. Upbeat and eccentric with lots of different approaches to the style, fantastic songwriting and McGowan's voice is perfect for this style. Even the Christmas song near the beginning of the record is done superbly and doesn't at all feel out of place. RIP Shane, you were a hell of a musician and The Pogues are a band I can't wait to dig into more.
Lovely album.
No es mi estilo. La voz del cantante me pareció molesta.
Labadoux vibes!
Muy interesante para escuchar, mezcla de música de piratas y de taberna. 8/10
Amazing.
An utter masterpiece, but must be knocked down one star due to my seething hatred of Fairytale of New York, a song an old roommate once (intentionally?) put on single song repeat, turned his stereo up to 11, locked his bedroom door, and left for hours and hours.
Didn’t realized I got the extended edition. Probably didn’t need that, was a 3 star for being too long. Changing to a 4 mostly because of a a Fairytale of New York
Niet mijn ding
Ah, this is a special album for me, I discovered the Pogues while at college, and it rekindled my love for Irish music and punk music at the same time. The first 3 tracks are the perfect introduction to the band, and then you get to hear one of the best Christmas songs you’ll ever hear. It’s really an amazing album all the way through. My favorite track may be Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six, a scathing political song about injustices during the Troubles inflicted upon innocent men by the British justice system. PS: RIP Shane McGowan 5 stars easily
not my cup of tea mate
Best Song: Turkish Song of the Damned This was so good! I had never listened to The Pogues before. I had never even heard of them but I was a bit taken aback on how much I enjoyed that Irish, sea shantiness of this. Before there were the Dropkick Murphy's, there was The Pogues. Just a great album and I can't wait to hear it again. BTW, Turkish Song of the Damned is a total banger and Fairytale of New York should be on everyone's Christmas playlist. 5/5.
A friendly reminder that no one is happier to rebel than the Irish
not my vibe and wow that Christmas song was fucked
I like the folk based melodic phrasing and can put up with the singing style, but the constant banjo plucking, cheesy grating accordion and the monotonous reel rhythm really grind my gears. A tedious slog.
A few all time classics on this album. I love Shane MacGowan.
Rating:★★★★ Never heard of this band before, but I dig the Irish folk/punk thing they have going. Music that makes you want to dance and think about what they're saying at the same time.
I have not listened to The Pogues much before this album, but it's way less gimmicky than I thought it would be.
I have no idea if this album is good or not. I was probably grinning the whole time listening to it though.
Too much jig music
The Pogues’ celtic punk sound is great. I listen to the previous album a fair bit but this one wore on me towards the end and I’m tired of the Christmas song (not their fault)
적당히 좋고 적당히 마음에 들었음.
Not something I usually listen to, nice to listen to something different but felt repetitive fairly quickly
I knew of the Pogues (of course) but actually had hardly heard any of their music - even Fairytale of New York I'd never listened to properly. The idea of folk with energy is appealing, but the name 'Pogues' is overshadowed for me by sadness at the drawn-out train wreck of MacGowan's AOD issues. I get that Pogues were significant at the time for bringing Celtic folk into a punk environment, but listening to this album now doesn't really do it for me. Favourite song on the album - Thousands Are Sailing. Rating for the album: it's Not Bad, 6/10.
Standouts Shanne Bradley
good vibes, so bissi mittelalterlich. ganz cool aber jetz nit so meins. oder idk, vllt scho. solide 3.
don't really appreciate irish or whatever punk
Absolute riot!
(5/7) fun stuff
The Pogues in their absolute heyday. Great stuff.
I generally love bluegrass and I generally love Celtic folk music but I do not vibe with the lead singer's voice which is significantly affecting my enjoyment. 3.5 stars, but not something I'm likely to listen to again.
Ei iskenyt hirveästi. 2/5.
для любителей фолка.
m,mmm
Strong Irish vibes
another funny album that is must listen
Ziemlich cool aber nutzt sich auf albumlänge schnell ab.
Punk wasnt dead
I've always associated The Pogues and Shane McGowan as a bloke with no teeth who once sang Fairytale of New York with a shark on Harry Hill's TV burp. Turns out they're really fucking good. Who knew?
Fun, not what I’m always in the mood for, but enjoyable when I am
4.5 Irish drinking songs. Fun, crazy that there’s a whole album of them. Feels like I’m sitting in an Irish pub and it’s raining out and there’s a band in the corner. It would get a 5, but there a few instrumental songs
5
There are some good songs on here but a lot of them are very similar. Maybe I haven’t listened to enough Irish folk music or whatever but I wasn’t huge on this album.
No esperaba para nada como era este álbum viendo la portada, pero Irlanda I guess
Irish folk presented as some obscure subset of punk
Enjoyed since I literally just got back from Ireland!
I like the way his voice and Irish accent sound
One of my all-time favorite records. While not perfect, I skip “fiesta” and “Sketches of Spain”, but the highs are so extremely high they cover all warts. Some of my favorite songs of all time are on this record. Title track, “fairytale of New York”, “Thousands are Sailing”, “South Australia”, “Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six”, “Irish Rover”, and “Lullaby of London” all establish this record as a legendary entry of the entire 80s, and solidifies The Pogues as a “forever” band. MacGowan is at his peak songwriting prowess here, showcasing his otherworldly storytelling and character building while encapsulating all the fears and joys of the immigrant experience. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 Pogues Forever!
Very nice.
18 straight songs of jig and polka that sound exactly the same. Absolute trash ⭐️
I’m never going to choose this style when listening on my own. This kind of music thrives a few beers in, live, with your pals at the pub. I’ve got respect for a big ensemble like this though By the time I got to ‘Fiesta’ I was thoroughly overstimulated
I am so close to giving this a four but I have to be honest with myself. I like this a whole lot!
God, I don't want to make the mistake of channeling all of my understanding through a frontman but Shane McGowan, what a bolt of lightning. I liked this a lot on my first relisten and then just have been unable to listen to anything else all day. Special stuff
Fun but idk, a bit same-y/ not scratching any particular itch for me
Interesting Irish music, wasn’t my fave but I could get behind some of the songs. Love how they mixed up the genres on nearly every song Fave song: Fiesta
Can’t believe there’s a second album from this band. The first one was swashbuckler pirate bullshit, the only reason I remember it is because I was so blown away with how weird and out of place it was on this list. If this album is the same vibes I’m not listening all the way through. Through song 1 I have low hopes. More pirate bs. I’m done after 2 songs. It’s the same exact shit. I didnt like the first one, I’m not going to like this one. This genre just did not last the test of time. I don’t understand how two of basically the exact same album Make this list but there’s other albums that are subjectively better and have more sales and listeners that are not on this list. It was clearly made by a white guy from Europe. JAA. 1.4 for trying.
I really enjoyed some of the songs from this album - many classics. Overall, I liked it but I think I had to be in a certain mood to listen to it. I will end my review with the “are they an Irish band” controversy.
A very good album, just not really my cup of tea. I'd give it a 3.5 as it was enjoyable to listen to and well put together but the songs started to meld together for me. Not the fault of the album - just my tastes selectively coming to that conclusion lol.
Celtic folk punk gets points for the immaculate vibes. I suspect I liked this one more than most would There's songs like "Metropolis" which play on my deep love for brass sections where they don't typically belong. "Sketches of Spain" has these immaculate vibes which make me smile. "Fairytale of New York" in April feels a little sacrilegious but it doesn't matter because it's still the best christmas song. The folky songs work for me, slurred vocal performance and all.
Did not enjoy. Every song was exactly the same I could barely finish this out of bordeom. I was gonna give it a 1 but then I realised id still rather listen to this than the white stripes album so it gets a 2.
absolutely not in the mood for this IM SORRY but I will give them 3 stars for creativity. if I were in a good mood I'd maybe enjoy it
its alright, I think it feels pretty standard and I don't really like the mix of songs on this album. Prob a 2.5 but I'll round up
Celtic rock is so damn fun
A great album that leans heavily into the trad roots. Fairytale of New York is a classic but lots of great tracks and no skips. Shane was one of the great song writers of his time.
I knew I'd like this album, but not as much as I did. Such a brilliant collection of songs, a fun, drunken, folk-punk ride. RIP Shane MacGowan. Favourites: If I Should Fall From Grace With God Bottle Of Smoke Fairytale of New York Medley The Irish Rover South Australia
Intersente mezcla de géneros pero el banjo y el acordeón me funcionan personalmente mejor en bandas como Mumford and sons en sus primeros discos
vraiment bien bonne ambiance change beaucoup, authentique
This falls in the impossible position of being simultaneously a perfect example of Irish music and yet just so perfectly Irish that it feels like a parody. In the right mood, especially live, this would be peerless and perfect, but as an album, it’s not something I would reach for often.
Day 248 Not as good as Rum, Sodomy and the Lash but still several high points. Also, whoever needs to read this, there’s no such thing as ‘Irish American’, you’re just American. My dear old granny was Irish and I spent a couple of weeks every summer in Galway as a kid but I wouldn’t call myself ‘Irish English’ because that would be fucking stupid. Highlights Thousands are Sailing Medley Streets of Sorrow
Bottle Of Smoke
A cursory listen left me with the feeling this album lacked variety. Truly glad I came back to it. The pace and energy ebbs and flows wonderfully. The introduction of new-to-the-Pogues instumentation and styles really break up the punk Irish folk tracks. I've probably listened to most of this album out of order (and possibly repeated) over the course of an NYC St Patrick's weekend while behind the bar and not even realized it. Listening in one go is a different experience. Fairytale of New York
great album. loved it
Really cool album. Lots of stylistic influences and of course strong Irish roots. Listened on a 4 hour drive and it was great in that context. Wouldn’t listen in any other probably lol. 3.5??
Pish
Cool Irish-style punk. Tends a little more traditional than the Dropkick Murphies, and probably served as an inspiration for the latter. Nice listen. Would go back to. 4/5
Loved it! Exactly a vibe I've been needing!
Dropkick Murphy progenitors
Tellement chiant d’écouter que de la musique irlandaise pendant ce qui semble être 1000 ans. M’a irrité.
It's what you think the Pogues sound like. The instrumentals aren't as good as the ones with vocals.
Odié el álbum, no me gustó para nada. No lo entendí, así que le doy 1 de 5. Creo que también es por el género; había algunos sonidos interesantes, como un estilo irlandés, pero aun así no logré conectarme con la música.
Oh cool! It's that song from the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special.
Mais c’était super cool ! Du rock/punk joué avec des instruments irlandais, c’est du génie !
I normally don’t need a full album of Irish music, but this was good. Also Fairytale of New York is starting to become one of my favorite Christmas songs, and I’m not even sure if it counts as a Christmas song
My initial take is that this is gonna be fun but exhausting. So far the fun part is 100% right. Actually even better than I thought. Some of the songs have an almost Chris de Burgh vibe to them which I didn't expect.
Still a delight to listen to.
It's not my style, but I think objectively, this is considered good? Went a little long though
Any album that produces "The Fairytale of New York" gets an extra bump.
This may be heretical, but it's the Pogues' best record, and not just because of the inclusion of "Fairytale of New York." It's also the whirlwinds of the title track and "Bottle of Smoke" and the grandeur of "Thousands are Sailing" and the killer instrumentals as well. Just a beautiful band at the perfect point.
Traditional Irish folk music is really not my cup of tea, but I respect The Pogues for fusing it with punk rock to pioneer a style that endures to this day. Shane McGowan was clearly talented as a songwriter. To me, he’s the most interesting part about this band, drawing attention to his storytelling and gruff delivery and balancing, somewhat, the high-tempo and repetitive fiddle, accordion, whistles and banjo runs that characterize this strain of traditional music but frankly drive me up the wall. So even as I like a lot of these songs, I prefer to hear them in small doses.
No insight, just praise.
Irish, nice but not for me, there's a song with spanish lyrics that was fun.
Probably my favorite Pogues album. Can’t ignore their album Rum…. But this more polished with a handful of bangers. Unique sound that until then hadn’t broke through. Great album highly recommended. 4.6/5
I liked the style. Very listenable. Not amazing, but true to its Celtic style. Its fun and I could easily see it in a playlist with the Drop Kick Murphys and other songs, for a night in a pub.
ireland!!! need to be in a pub drinking a guinness rn.
I found out that I was going to listening to Irish punk I was really excited to see what it would sound like. I was not expecting Pirate music. This album was pretty enjoyable especially in the early tracks. It had a lot of energy and sounded fun especially if it were to be live music. The one major problem with this album Is that it drags. I felt like I was done with it about 40 minutes in then I had another 30 minutes to go. That might be more of a problem with me though. I don't particularly enjoy the lead singer's voice although it did fit the music well. I don't know much about Irish history but this album has got me interested in learning about it threw the lyrics. I would give this album a strong 6 to a light 7
Like staggering out of the Shamrock Bar in Benidorm after 15 pints of porter and remembering you are on holiday for another week. Slainté!
im tired of this shit by song 4. not real punk, fuck em
Very fun Celtic punk with a bouncing timeless old sound. Defiant with strong feelings of humanism and romanticism with the sense of punching up from a low position purely out of hope, spite, and the joy of life with nothing left to lose.
Makes me want to play M2TW as the Irish. 5/5
Lowkey gave me a headache lmao. It’s alrightttt
I can’t get behind Irish sounding music honestly if I liked it I’m sure it would be high up there but that’s just me
not my fav type of music, its just ok for me
Funny pero no lo escucharía seguido
Great album of Irish themed pinkish material with flavours of other European music filtering through
The MacGowan led Pogues at their most…mature? I think Shane may have been on the follow up as well but in a much diminished (in the full scope of the word) capacity. Could be wrong. But anyhow, a four for not being quite as ramshackle as their first two.
just 2 songs in but I can say this is so much different from what I usually listen, nit complaining I’m vibing with it
folky
This was a really fun listen! Celtic Folk-Punk was a welcome treat, and there was unexpectedly some mariachi elements throughout the record in the form a brass section. One song was literally called "Fiesta." My two complaints are that I didn't enjoy the song "Worms," and the song "Fairytale of New York" used the f-slur. Maybe a band member was allowed to say it? I don't know. Anyway, good album!
klasik
Fun punk and happy mood. Famous.
I'm a huge Irvine Welsh fan, and he heavily mentions The Pogues from time to time, so I was kinda familiar with the phenomenon. I also have two dearest friends who are passionate about Irish folk music. I myself am a fan of The Clash and Sex Pistols. Anyway, I really tried to love it, but I felt like I am in the Irish Bikini Bottom. My highlight is "Thousands are sailing", I liked the instrumental part, but other that that, I'm so so far from this type of music.
tin whistles and fiddles and a tone deaf singer, best listened to sitting on steps of caravan, sipping Guinness around a campfire. Otherwise it was irritating in places
It isn't bad, but I can't help but think of Spongebob. There's an overlap of pirates, Irish and drunk music.
Turkish song of the dammed stood out to me I don’t know the history around this album 80’s traditional Irish Music, I’m going to keep listening to it after today
Background music for a woke tavern in middle earth. Could also be used in battles.
Gritty. Raw. Awesome.
in the same way i wouldn’t be surprised if a european didn’t enjoy a mask and i album i think its okay that i didn’t enjoy this album. Not to discredit the talent of the album nor the band, it just wasn’t made for me. I found myself moving to some songs but i don’t ever see myself being in the mood to listen to this genre.
Wow, this one was fun. You certainly get caught up in the Irish jig.
Was close to a 4 star at first, but it was just too long. First half was good. 6/10
Can hear the prototype of Flogging Molly’s Salty Dog in Bottle of Smoke, and the prototype for the Dropkick Murphy’s Bastards on Parade sprinkled throughout. Being only versed in the Pogues album about Rum and Sodomy, this was a welcome adventure, and I liked the first handful of songs quite a bit. I do feel a lot of this could’ve been pared down otherwise though, and even though Wikipedia praised this album with being more cohesive than their earlier works, I found it extremely not cohesive. We randomly have two Dubliners duets in the third quarter, for instance. While welcome, what are they doing here?
Irish folk music with a punk twist. Not really my thing.
En jaksanut kuin pari ekaa kappaletta kuunnella.
#313/1001. Fast song slow song Irish song classic song Christmas song, sometimes many or even all together. Gets a bit sing-a-longy when the Dubliners enter the stage, I don't know if that was a bonus or something, but then again after just visiting Ireland I suppose it could be like that at least somewhere very far from Dublin's Temple Bar.
Nunca había escuchado tantos instrumentos juntos en un solo álbum. Le pongo 3 estrellas porque no es algo q escucharía siempre
Good album from Irish legends
meh, no es mi gusto, si admito que esta bueno pero hasta ahi nomas. Deberia escucharlo con mi abuelo
I am weak to irish folk music and i love the way the vocalist sings!!!!!
This tapped into some weird unexplored drunken angry Irishman side of me I didn't know existed.
FUN STUFF, and to hear Fairytale of New York in a regular album, non-Christmas context was pretty rad!
Meh
like kinda fun i guess? i only made it halfway through so that probably says something
I don't like this. Just comes off as corny and inauthentic to me. I'd prefer normal Celtic folk without the rock
Favourite Songs: Bottle Of Smoke Fiesta
They're really good and it really isn't for me. My God it all sounds the same and I hate the primary singer. But if you're into Irish music with great skill this is for you
If we’re going to call this “punk,” which I understand might be a bit reductive, this is the best punk album yet by a *wide* margin. This is properly good.
2.5 - Okay so I would pretty much never listen to this unless it was to fit a specific, almost cliche mood (think day drinking or keeping something upbeat and in the sunshine). But I can definitely respect this album. So solid middle of the road 5/10. Fav Songs: If I should fall from grace with god // Medley: The Recruiting Sergeant...
interesting and v different from my usual stuff, but i liked it :3
Solid, glad to know where that Christmas song is from
Muito energético e uns quantos clássicos
Uma boa noite de copos. Começa com aquela energia da cerveja, depois ao fim de alguns temas a clássica canção bêbada da meia noite que leva ao inevitável falecimento seguido do ondasetrom da resurreiçao e recomeça de novo. Via fácil um concerto. Não leva 5 que ao fim de algum tempo fica repetitivo
Es como si los músicos, de la escena de Titanic donde Rose va a bailar con los pobres, se volvieran loquitos
Abends in der Kneipe bestimmt ganz nett. Morgens unter der Dusche eher weniger. Nicht so meins.
Nicht kater-geeignet. Trieb mich an den Rande des Wahnsinns
It's not my style
