The opener here has a very Irish reel-like thing that immediately reminds me of Thin Lizzy's “Emerald” - I mean, it's almost identical, though in fairness it's just a riff in the song, it's not as if they ripped the entire thing off. Some really nice Eagles-esque vocal harmonies on “Only the Wild Ones”, which bops along nicely, nice marching beat to “Curse + Crush”. It's all pretty good stuff really - “Skin the Rabbit” is very catchy, and there's a nice folky feel to “Midnight Lorry”, though I feel “Begin Again” really stands out as one of the very best tracks on this album. It has a real sense of energy and purpose to it. Some great guitar work too. Good album.
