Rum Sodomy & the Lash

Fun, though not amazing.

Good, but not quite as good as the previous offering of theirs (If I Should Fall From The Grace Of God) we had

Second Pogues album in three days. I much preferred the first one though this one has its moments. I’m glad I’ve got no more Pogues in my future!

Fuck's sake read the Wiki. There's only twelve songs on this album not 18.

Anyway, until I read the reviews I forgot about the particular kind of Pogues fan who just uses them for a knees up - it's all FUN, apparently. Not a criticism.You do you. I'm not saying there isn't fun to be had but you must be skipping The Old Main Drag and drunk under the table by the time the band plays Waltzing Matilda.

the irish are spiritually appalachian in my opinion. creating irish folk punk feels like an oxymoron considering how those genres just go hand in hand (if your actually doing it right). enjoyed his voice much more than i thought i would.

About as good as the other Pogues record on here. The second half is better than the first.

tem umas letras até bacanas e os instrumentos são bem tocados. não eh necessariamente péssimo, mas eu não piro mto nessa sonoridade não... acho meio chata.

((((disclaimer: é o tipo de música que eu remeto bastante ao douglas e ao (falecido) toninho. quando eles ficavam bebados, eles colocavam essas merda de irish folk punk, mto paia)))

my colleauges looked weird after i started drinking and singing to this album but that did not stop me!

Pretty good, and I like the general ramshackleness of it.

This is exactly how I envision Irish music.

This is so not up my alley that I just can't finish it. I'm sure it is good but it ain't for me.

Ok, I get some weird cross between Irish folk and punk. The album cover and name pretty much tell you exactly how this sounds. Lyrically, it's pretty strong with stories of the life of (I presume) those of Irish heritage in the United Kingdom and Ireland itself. Sonically, however, it's not a hit with my American ears. The instrumental sounds take some getting used to, and the vocals aren't great(though they work within this context). While this is an interesting example of cultural music, I don't think this is something I can listen to often. It's good at doing what it's trying to do, but what it's trying to do isn't something I have any particular desire to listen to.

This is the sweet spot for The Pogues, doesn't overstay and has great quality throughout

I didn't expect to like this so much. I was aware of the band, but honestly this feels so heartfelt and sincere. Probably more Irish folk here than punk and I like it a lot.

Great album, perfect for hiking the Highlands.

This is a perfect 10 song album and a very very good 18 song album

3.0

I wouldn't listen to this voluntarily, but it was very fun. I started doing Irish dances and unknowingly opened a can of beer. Very fun, but just in this context.

I can't stand Celtic stuff.
