Probably their best album to date. Their previous albums were great but I think Dropkick Murphys have finally found their nitch and developed a polished sound of Celtic working class punk rock. I’ve listen to this CD about 10 times already and every track I really liked. Their single “Walk Away” is the one that stands out as the best track on the Cd. The song’s really catchy and probably one of their best songs they have done. They also cover the legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie’s song “There’s Gonna Be A Blackout.” When I was listening to the song, it sounded like a Sick Of It All track for minute, or whoever did the song “Breakout.” I like the song “The Dirty Glass,” featuring female vocals from Kay Hanley that actually sound really well. It’s very similar to The Pogues’ “Fairytale in New York.” Dropkicks stick to their roots with a cover of the traditional song “Fields Of Athenry” and the bagpipes in the song give me goosebumps! I’ve been looking forward to this album for awhile now and it succeeds my expectations. This album is HIGHLY recommended.
