The album features a good collection of tracks from thumping pub sing-a-longs to melancholy songs perfect to drink your favorite Irish whiskey alone to. The album kicks off with "Never Enough" and "Pub and Culture", two fast paced songs that while good, shouldn't be anything new if you've ever listened to Irish Punk before. But the album quickly changes pace with "Shade" and later on with the lullaby-esque "Not Forgotten" and creates a somber mood before being picked back up.
One of the stand out tracks though is the 5:44 lament to relationships called "Leopardtown Races" with its remorseful strings and raspy vocals. As well the huge choruses on album closer "Be" are a track to listen to as well.
I'd like to give this album more recognition but it's nothing people haven't heard before. The musicianship and vocals are right at home for pub music, especially for loud drunken singing, but maybe just playing in pubs is what they are going for.
