This was pretty hot and cold for me. I enjoyed the more raucous tunes, but any time things mellowed down and got more folky, Shane MacGowan's voice and/or delivery just didn't do much for me. On average it's a decent record.

The only Pogues song I know is the one they played at the Irish wakes in The Wire, and that isn’t here. This is still good, if pretty samey and not ultimately my thing. But I feel like if I was to own one Irish jig album, this would be it. C
I wanted to dislike this, but actually it's pretty good. I know if I listened to it 1-2 more times through I'd like it less though. 3.49/5
