Up is the second studio album by Canadian band Great Big Sea released on September 12, 1995. The album is certified 4× platinum in Canada, and is Great Big Sea's best-selling album. Great Big Sea was a Canadian folk rock band from Newfoundland and Labrador, best known for performing energetic rock interpretations of traditional Newfoundland folk songs including sea shanties, which draw from the island's 500-year Irish, Scottish, and Cornish heritage. The band was very successful in Canada, with eleven of their albums being certified Gold in the country, including four being certified Platinum and two achieving multi-platinum certifications. Between 1996 and 2016, Great Big Sea was the sixteenth best-selling Canadian artist in Canada and the sixth best-selling Canadian band in Canada.
Huh, not bad. Not good either 3 A little too silly for my taste You cant tell me "Buying Time" and "Lukey" arent songs from Moana
Folk, folk rock. Me ha gustado, aunque tiene varias lentas. Un 4, venga.
Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Buying time, The chemical worker’s song, Nothing out of nothing
Pretty standard sound for this flavor of nouveaux traditional and on the lyrical style much of it a little soft and basic. I didn't mind theblisten but it didn't really wow me.
This is the equivalent to Scottish bag pipes being played for St Patrick’s Day. It isn’t Irish but it seems close enough so just enjoy and have a pint. Overall it’s pretty decent traditional folk with the catchy songs and stories of blue collar life. Not too bad. Worth an occasional revisit. 6.6/10
I guess this answers the question "what happens if you mix the pogues and soul asylum?", because this album is exactly what it'd sound like. But my own question would be "why the fuck would anyone want to mix the pogues and soul asylum?" 2/5.
