Swagger

I found out about Flogging Molly in a slow, roundabout way. I started with some hardcore Boston punk, moved to Dropkick Murphy's, and finally to FM. I honestly have to say that this is one of the best albums ever written. I am usually a purist when it comes to music, im punk all the way, but regardless of your preferences you can't deny that this is one of the most musically rewarding albums of all time. The instrumentals make you feel like you're in Ireland and the lyrics make you feel like you're spending a rainy day in a pub singing your favorite songs. Swagger has the perfect mix of up-beat and slow songs. My personal favorite tracks are "These Exiled Years", "Devils Dance Floor", and "Far Away Boys".

My boyfriend had this album in his CD Alarm clock when we first started dating. It went off every morning at 9. I started to curse his name. Then after a couple of times i just started to listen and before i know it i had listened to the whole thing. to this day i think that this is the greatest flogging molly album. followed of course by Drunken Lullaby's.

I am very pleased with this Green vinyl album. I was amazed that something so old school could be still available and the music is awesome.I do have a vinyl to cd conversion turntable that I used to preserve the green vinyl but I still had to listen to the record a few times to enjoy that ambience of old school. If you think that your not into irish music give Flogging Molly a try and if you like very upbeat happy drinking songs with excellent violin, accordian, banjo and distorted guitar and of course the fast country style drums you will love this album as I have and do.

If you want to add Flogging Molly to your CD collection, this is the album to get. From beginning to end it will keep your feet moving and your pint glass empty.

What an outstanding CD. Unbelievable energy and musicianship equals one of the best pub discs ever. Swagger will be a mainstay in my rotation for quite some time. Do yourself a favor and pick this up immediately and start burning some calories. You cannot listen to this without moving some part of your body; you'll see.
