Music reviews of The Warrior's Code
Music Review: Definitive Irish punk rock - a must for any Boston sports bar
Rating: 4 Stars
I am a longtime fan of the Pogues, so many friends had strongly recommended the Dropkick Murphys to me. I picked up "Warrior's Code" and was instantly hooked.
If you're familiar with the Pogues, the DMs are a heavier, thrashier bunch much more akin to Flogging Molly. Indeed, one could easily imagine DM and FM serving as representative East and West Coast Irish punk bands. Both bands feature wailing guitars, songs that are shouted as much as they are sung, and replete with fist pumping and chest-pounding rhythms.
Made nationally famous by Martin Scorsese's "The Departed," DM is a perfect song for the lads to get amped to before a big football match or scrum, and surely a must for every Boston sports bar thanks to the inclusion of the Red Sox anthem "Tessie" as a bonus track. Indeed, "Tessie" is one of two reasons that I give this album four stars instead of five - I'm unfortunately surrounded by a bunch of Red Sox bandwagon fans and I'm pretty much sick of those guys right now.
The other, more serious reason is that the DMs are a bit narrow in their appeal. While I can find a Pogues song for almost every occasion or mood, and Shane MacGowan's intelligent lyrics and booze-soaked voice are remarkably versatile, the DMs are good for one thing - kicking serious ***.
This isn't a criticism, but just a recognition of the fact that the DMs set out to do just one thing - and they succeeded brilliantly. Here's hoping these guys stretch their musical talents just a bit more. Until then, I'll be thankful that they've done what they've done so far and enjoy this album for years.
Description of The Warrior's Code
Since 1997, Boston's Dropkicks have released six albums, each bettering the last in sales. They've amassed hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, and have recently broadened their appeal by having their heart pounding, swaggering performance of "Shipping Up To Boston" prominently featured in the Oscar winning (Best Director, Best Picture) Martin Scorsese film,"The Departed". "The Warriors Code" also features their rousing rendition of "Tessie", the Red Sox's rally anthem, spurring the team to win the 2004 World Series and establishing the band in New England sports history. With "The Warrior's Code", the Dropkicks combine their driving punk energy with a newfound sense of majesty and melody to create anthems for troubled times. "Tessie" is included here as a special bonus track, and it's also prominently featured in the new movie "Fever Pitch", starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore.Punk Revival CDs
