Album title: Life is Good
Artist: Flogging Molly
Genre: Celtic Punk
Nationality: Irish/American
Release date: June 2
Position in Discography: Sixth
Estimated Rating:

Have I heard of this artist? Yes
Have I heard anything by this artist? No. Thought I had, but turns out I have not.
Average RYM Score: 2.90
Having listened to the Dropkick Murphys and The Real MacKenzies I think I can say with reasonable certainty that I really like Celtic/Folk Punk, so I was more or less expecting this to be really damn good. And it is. Exuberant, irreverent, fun, joyful, powerful. “The hand of John L Sullivan” stands out, as does “Reptiles (We Woke Up)” but they're all great tracks and I expect this will be another band added to the list of ones whose discographies I'm now in the process of downloading. I'll certainly take recs for any other bands of this ilk. The title track has some superbly Mexican-sounding trumpet, great uillean pipes on “Crushed (Hostile Nations)” and it's a hell of a stormer too. Love this album, though I did expect to. Has not let me down.

Check out more from this artist? Oh **** yes
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Definitely
