GREAT album, probably Flogging Mollys most complete album yet, and i have been an avid Molly listener since they came to my town in 2001.

I thought this album sucked. Hmm. I id like Man With No Country, but that's about it, unfortunately.

I've had this for a few months now and it really hasn't grown on me, You Won't Make A Fool Out Of Me seems to be the only track I keep going back to.

Average at best

I think I heard some of these songs in Red Roses and Petrol (actually, all of their songs - a lot of it was Flogging Molly) plus some new ones that I've never heard before on any album.

I thought it was pretty "meh" it had some good tracks on it, some not so good tracks, one or two filler songs. It just didn't have the same impact that "Swagger" or "Drunken Lullabies" had.

I liked it a lot myself. Not a touch on various similar-sounding albums I can think of, but great stuff nonetheless. Then again, it's the only album of theirs I have, so it's not like I can line it up with their work or anything.

I'll concur that it didn't heave the same impact that "Swagger" and "Drunken Lullabies" did. But I did like it a lot. I would definitely prefer it to "Within a Mile of Home". I liked that a lot of the songs had more swing this time around, and didn't rely on the usual "clickity-clack" hoppy beats of so many of their older tracks. Although those beats are a big part of what made their initial sound so signature. It was just nice to hear something different, but still really good. I'd say that I would take a song like "Punch Drunk Grinning Soul" along with any of the old stand-bys like "Selfish Man", "The Likes of You Again", or "Rebels of the Sacred Heart".

so random, but the cover art reminds me of a harry potter film...i don't know too much about flogging molly...only familiar with their songs in films (just like the previous post about red roses and petrol)...what albums do you recomend buying of theirs?
