Title: The Dubs can do better, but not by much.
Product review: "Red" is, in my opinion, the third-best of the Dubs oeuvre. (And even then, "Breathe" only edges it out by a nose.) "Neverending," both versions, are moving and beautiful. The Waterboys's "Fisherman's Blues" is covered here with a jaunty tone; while it's very hard to screw up that song in the first place, the Dubs's more rock-flavored feel enhances it. (Traditionalists might do well by also looking for The Indulgers's excellent cover of the song, on their CD "Celtic Tiger;" in fact, everyone should go pick that up right this second.)My only criticism is that I felt "Apart" and "One and Only" were oddly-paced, and the lyrics seemed a little to suggestive of a rhyming dictionary. Fortunately, others like the energetic "What Do You Want From Me," the powerful ballad "Don't You Worry," and the Celtic instrumental "Bodhran" more than make up for it.
