Negative Positive
Title: 3.5 Stars
Review: This album really isn't bad. In fact, its amazing its as good as it is. Keep in mind Shane Macgowan was no longer with the band at this time, and he was the heart and soul of the band, not to mention an amazing songwriter. Putting that aside, this is a good album, and I would probably think of it more highly if I hadn't come to expect so much from this group. There are some really great tracks on here like "How Come", "Living In A World Without Her", "When The Ship Comes In" & "Bright Lights". However, the rest of the album is nothing special. If you are just getting into the Pogues get "Rum Sodomy & The Lash", "Red Roses For Me" & "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" before you even begin to consider buying this album. If you are a Pogues fan and are wondering what the band sounded like without Macgowan, definitely get this over "Waiting For Herb" (which is a terrible album).
Is the review positive or negative?
