Negative Positive
Title: my interest in the Dropkicks ended here
Review: i enjoyed this band a lot more when their punk to irish folk ratio was 80-20. it seems like with this release, they flipped that ratio to 20-80. i agree with some of the other naysayers that the whole "irish" image has gone too far and is just a cheap gimmick now. their working-class pride has been stated ad nauseum too, just like many working-class punk/h.c. bands (agnostic front, madball, blood for blood, etc.), which is kind of amusing since at least half of their audience, if not more, would be considered middle or upper-class. i'll stick with the 1st two LPs...
Is the review positive or negative?
