- Arranger: Dropkick Murphys.
- The Dropkick Murphys are to punk what House of Pain was to rap. They bring an explicitly Irish sensibility to their chosen style (there are shamrocks on the album cover, and there's a bagpiper in the band, for goodness' sake) while remaining true to the conventions of the genre. Still, despite the occasional jig-like detour or pennywhistle flourish, the Murphys aren't trying to reinvent punk.
- Their songs are presented the way punk was meant to be; loud, fast, hard, and simple. The driving guitars and pummelling drums that power these songs could be descended from the vintage Ramones (or at least Social Distortion) album of your choice. Admittedly, there aren't too many other punk bands that combine mohawks with kilts, or power chords with bodhrans, but that's what gives the Murphys their distinctive sound.
Professional Reviews Alternative Press (3/01, p.67) - 4 out of 5 - "...All the way, the Murphy's champion blue-collar, pro-union workmanship, [and] cutting the pop-cheese bulls***...and hoisting up the beer-drinking anthems that remain..."
Magnet (4-5/01, p.72) - "...Some killer punk....16 tracks of sloshing, forget-your-troubles good times..."
CMJ (2/12/01, p.21) - "...Strong from start to finish..."

Coming from a working class Oi! background DKM have really devolped their sound in this cd, this abulm is probaly when DKM really got to be heard alot. An excellent abulm with not only their own orignal songs which are great but some old school covers like Which Side Are You On and Wild Rover. I believe this cd has Shane from the Pouges on the track A Few Good Rats, so this is a must buy for any Irish music fan.

Dropkick murphys are an awesome irish sounding punk band who have their roots in the working class. The songs are fast and energetic but this album also consists of some touching slower songs, such as forever, and the torch. Other classic stand out tracks on this include Which Side Are You On?, and The New American Way. A great album and you won't find it much cheaper than this.

If you are just starting to listen to the dropkick murphys then this is definitely a must have cd. The dropkick murphys have put a range of songs on this album like the beautiful "Forever" and faster songs like "The Gauntlet" and overall is an awesome album. Buy this album if youre into irish bands like The Pogues.
