This is my first FM album and it won't me my last. I listen to this cd again and again and seem to discover a new favorite song for the album each time. The band does a great job blending catchy Irish rythms with powerful vocals in a package with mainstream appeal. The lead singer displays a good range of volume, letting you know when you should be stomping your feet or just reflecting. You can see this in the song Float, as he crescendos with the lyrics "A Ripe Old Age! That's what I am!"
The cd is a good listen. It has a variety of songs and tempos, but I definitely see that rocking is in FMs roots. If you've heard Float, be aware that that is their lighter side. Take a listen to Requiem for a Dying Song or Punch Drunk Grinning Soul to get an idea what the album is like. If you like those, this album is for you.

This album was everything I expected it to be and more. I'm a rather new fan of FM and this record just made me love them all the more. It has that fiery, rebellious, liberating energy that you'd expect from Flogging Molly and no matter how many times I play it, I don't think I could get tired of it. Although I LOVE all the songs, some of my favorites are "The Lightning Storm", "Float", "Punch Drunk Grinning Soul", and "Between a Man and a Woman". Deeply meaningful lyrics, outstanding instrumentation, driving choruses... I don't think I have a single complaint about it. If you are at all hesitant about ordering this album, just do it! You won't regret it, as it is worth every penny!

Love this album as much as i love their other ones. Very good arragements of this songs, no a lot of screaming in Dave's singing, but screams in the right places,great songs, darker songs i might add, so is not a record to just party and slam, u can do that as well but in this one try to understand more the words, you might learn something, buy this, burn it or downloaded, just get it today!!! Love the Mollys and always loving the always great Bridget , great performer.

I downloaded this album today and I am astonished by it's fire, passion, and energy. It's a great listen and the price is far less than this music is worth. I was looking at bands coming to play at a local venue (The Music Farm), and FM is on the calendar. I was thinking, yes, they sound familiar, let me go hear a sample. I would not call this punk, but music that melodically and lyrically surpasses most punk; yet is more turf-kicking fresh than old Irish ballads warmed over. I am still a huge fan of the Clash, and listened to Black Flag and Dead Kennedys back in the day. I like White Stripes and Radiohead (alt/indie etc.), classic blues and hard-bop and fusion jazz, so I am all over the map. Don't care too much for country, bluegrass, or weepy folk.
"Float" is original, with excellent, thoughtful lyrics. The musicians are all very good, and very tight, and can do a whole lot more than play fast. Their speed is breathtaking on some of these tracks. The lead singer's voice is wonderful, and like Tom Waits, can be melodic yet gruff at the same time. The main thing that appeals to me in a singer is the honest expression of feeling, which is one of the reasons I like blues and jazz so much. Flogging Molly's lead singer expresses rage, loneliness, lust, nostalgia, and bravado, to name a few.
I think this will be my new favorite album for a while, and I will certainly try to catch this show in December. I am now listening to it for the 3rd time already. The slower numbers just add to the depth of the album, and show the range they are capable of. They will rev you up or break your heart - maybe both at the same time.
Also downloaded the Pogues If I Should Fall from Grace with God today. Somehow I missed hearing them the first time around. Never too late to become a fan.

The CD came on time with no damage.
I got it for my fiance and he's very happy with it as well. It's a good transition from their earlier music, but it's not the same as the Swagger or Drunken Lullabies if that's what you're looking for.

I Enjoy all of F.M.'s other CD's and DVD and this is no exception. Exciting, thought provoking, and refreshing. Its all I can do to keep from stopping my truck to get out and stomp to the music when I listen to it driving the roads of Illinois.
I love these guys!

Wer Dropkick Murphys hört, muss auch Flogging Molly hören!
