Title: I keep this CD around for a good laugh...
Product review: It's either that or cringe. I loved the Pogues and heard the great hype about these guys back in 94 or 95. The music industry lives on hype of course, pushing its mediocrities like Black 47 on the public. The melodies are clunky and hamfisted. The lyrics are horrible. I suspect the hip-hop community got a good laugh at their attempts to "rap". They do play with great energy. But the strangled whelpings and yelpings of Larry Kirwan sink this record. A bunch of posers without the soul and great songwriting of the Pogues. Great live performances do not necessarily mean great original music. Save your money.
