I think you need to be Irish or understand/ been to Ireland before purchasing these, they're not like burning wood. It's a completely different experience.

This is what's used in Irish homes to heat them, they burn longer and without the popping & less sparks like wood. Bought these for pure nostalgia reasons and burn them occasionally for the wonderful aroma it delivers!

For a raging, "romantic" fire you need to burn wood, not peat.

Love them!

A very interesting release. Another band mixing Irish traditional music with a more punk/pub edge. Not the best release of the genre, but a nice fun inclusion after you've picking up the heavies of the field (early pogues, tossers, dropkicks, flogging molly, etc.). Duane Beer's voice sounds like a mix of Barney Murray of 'Blood or Whiskey' (see Amazon UK for them) and a drunken Swedish Chef from the Muppets.  Some great songs... especially 'Whiskey on a Sunday', 'Angelina', 'Untimeley Blessings'.... 'Piss on Luck' is a ragtime-type song via Tom Waits that took me completely off-guard, weird. 'I won't pay for Liberty' is a staight cover of the Angelic Upstarts classic and nicely done. NGX used to go by the name of Trauma School Dropouts and have a few released under that name although I don't think it's the same type of music. You can find samples of their sound on the nogoodnix website if curious about the record. Anyways I raise a pint (or 5 or 6) to the band for a fun release. Slainte!

This is the second of Craobh Rua's CDs I've purchased and like a fine wine they've improved with age. The vocals on the laments will carry you back to the Emerald Isles. The instrumental work will have you jumping from your seat to begin a jig. For traditional Celtic music they are truly one of the best groups out there and this CD goes a long way to bolster that point. The Belfast Mountains is an interesting and in a way comical lament where the singer asks for relief of his heartache when his lover leaves him. His wishes for almost everything bad to happen to his former lover is what I find comical. For a trip back to ole Erin, If Ida Been There, Ida Been There is the ticket

You know, it's kind of ironic, my experience with this group. I thought of 'em as a real head-scratcher band when I heard "Loveless" a couple years ago, one of the first times I realized that "indie" music wouldn't come to me as easily as I had initially thought. However, there was a romantic overtone and nice tunes that fascinated me at the same time and while I don't think it's 5-star good, this album sort of warmed me up to it.

It's a pretty solid album throughout. It's not the overproduced experiment of "Loveless," but rather, more them making pop songs in the vein of Jesus and Mary Chain. They still have their own identity though. Feedback rules over "All I Need." My favorite two songs are "Soft as Snow (But Warm Inside)" and "No More Sorry," which showed that they had genious in them before their highly praised swan song. I wish I enjoyed the second half as much as the first, but it's alright.

Great music if you like Classic Irish mixed with a tad bit of modern.

There's something to be said about old friends getting together and partying it up. I really enjoy these types of shows. It could be because I'm getting to be an "old man" myself and can relate.

The boys went out on a limb with this one.  In my opinion this was less of a KISS album and more of a producer exerting too much
influence...It happens.  I do like a few of the tracks though you will probably never hear them again.  "I" was good, and of course, "A World Without Heroes".  They ventured too far from what made them great during the 80's but they figured it out and came back from the brink.  This is one that is kept purely for historical record by the hardcore fan.

I really thought this was going to be another buddy comedy...premise seemed so absurd...but I grew to love these guys...maybe because they represent my generation and our increasing feelings of being put out to pasture without much worth...but there is a worth to experience and these guys gut it through and show their value...and it's really out and out funny too...

These guys are so cool it makes me sick!

Great record...if you like the Murphys even a little, you're gonna love this!

I know this isn't much of a review...I don't really want to get into the specifics...but I hope my enthusiasm shows through.

You want a wonderful listening experience, start here.

God bless the Dropkick Murphys, that's all I have to say.

unlucky in love.  Maybe he should look a bit closer
to home.  I hope he does more books in Ireland.

they have kind of a motown / blues brothers with a bit of southern grit thing going on - love it!

These guys are a riot. I would compare them to the Smother's Brothers, or Sha Na Na... if you're old enough to remember them. The boys do comedic songs that are infectiously catchy. The styles run from early sixties pop, with Ventures guitar, through baaaad Disco with full orchestra back-up. I have to be honest about the last cuts... they really, really fall off, since they area from a TV special they had done in the 70s, which is missing the visual effect. However, with 20 or so cuts, it's a minor issue. The "Do-rif-tahs" are a light-hearted listening experience. BTW, they were the opening act for the Beatles first world tour in Tokyo!

A hat with all these names is very suitable for those of us who want to be ivy league irish cabbie and newsboy hunters. Also, it's made of denim.

Oh, I think they put these on their heads. Nice!!!!!
