fifth studio album by these Boston punk rockers.....
lots of Irish folk mixed with the punk sounds also, as in folk melodies, instruments mixed with the fist pumping hi-energy of 'real' punk rock....
there are a couple of folk covers on this one...."the green fields of france" written by Eric Bogle and "im shipping up to boston" written by Woodie Guthrie, I love the Bogle ballad but don't like their treatment of the Guthrie track....
in fact, I would have picked the Bogle track as best track had it not been a cover...but its still worth a listen if you've ever lost friends/family in war.....
if youre a fan of the "boston red-sox" you would also appreciate "Tessie"....
not really much difference between this one and the sounds on their other two albums I own....
still a good album if you like punk but not as good as their superb "goin' out in style" album which is up there with the greatest punk albums of all time...
