Music reviews of Float
Music Review: Treading water, drinking watered down whiskey...
Rating: 3 Stars
Dave King is an erudite and obviously intelligent soul but he's trying far too hard to squeeze his education into the good time Oirish punk rock Flogging Molly produce.
He takes well worn cliches, gives them a twist and fails. Adding a spin or trying to create new ones just drags the whole Flogging Molly experience down. It's something that has hampered every Molly album, just as you're getting into it a lyric jars and you're left thinking ??? when all you want is simple heartfelt passion.
That said, if you like their previous stuff you'll enjoy this, it's by no means a bad album but don't expect a 'Black Friday Rule' or 'Rebels of the Sacred Heart' or even a 'Tobacco Island'. It's a pale shadow compared to anything from 'Drunken Lullabies' or 'Swagger'.
I love Flogging Molly but Dave King has to stop trying; Drink yer Guinness, down yr whiskey and don't start recording the next Molly album until you can't stand up/yr mind's a blank... Because what Flogging Molly need is a dunderheaded thug roaring "My heart belongs to Ireland" or "I'll never hurt you Molly, my love. Not again" with that wry Shane MacGowen glance askance that tells us all that, soon as the little woman's put out, she'll feel the back of my hand! (And she, bless her, will love her man no matter what.) I'm talking passion; rightly or wrongly.
They don't need another album of borrowed cliches.
Description of Float
What makes a band truly remarkable? Insightful lyrics? Memorable melodies? Blow-your mind live performances? The truth is that it takes all of those things along with a boundless enthusiasm, an infectious energy and a supreme devotion to the fans. With this rare combination, a band may ascend past "good," - and reach sublime. Drawing on the hardships and joys of their own lives and a musical history ranging from old world Celtic to modern day punk rock, the seven members of Flogging Molly do just that, and they do it with a charm and an ease that makes them one of the most revered bands performing today. Flogging Molly isn't a mere band, they're a seven member nuclear family. They are as devoted to one another as they are to the music they create. It's no wonder their extended family - the legion of loyal Flogging Molly fans - keeps growing every day.General CDs
