9: The Meanest of Times - Dropkick Murphys

The shouting Celtic American Punks are angry and loud. The Meanest of Times by the Dropkick Murphys is a bouncy frantic work.

Strongly recommended by a friend. This isn't a easy listening album or a work of great cultural significance or even musical excellence. But god is there something about driving along trying to keep up with the beat of (F)Lanigan's Ball. One also feels riotous almost spitting the lyrics about The State Of Massachusetts.

Not an album to encourage one to stick to the speed limit.

While I haven't finished this album I'm enjoying it a lot and looking forward to moving on to:
