Title: Utter Drivel
Product review: This album has very little to recommend it. Rik Ocasek (of The Cars) produced this album, and the sound he brings does not fit with the off-key drunken sounding singing and musicianship on this album. While the drunk-bar band thing sounded great (and was fairly authentic) coming from the Pogues, this group just sounds [bad]. Additionally, the band does not rock hard enough to be a "rock" band. It is kind of like they tried to cross Irish rock with elevator music while simulataneously trying to sound drunk. Did they intentionally try to play their instruments poorly? I'm not sure exactly what this band is trying to accomplish, but perhaps they should have spent some more time practicing or at very least in the studio using electronic means to clean up this album. Maybe I'm just being picky, but if you like Irish/Celtic Rock, steer clear of this group.
