The five hundred and fifty-sixth album: #556 The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & The Lash
While we've covered folk rock quite regularly, this album of Irish folk rock feels quite different. There's a folk throwback element that's quite a bit stronger, while the rock feels like it only comes in occasionally. It's not a bad thing - it's quite interesting to hear more of the style and it feels like it does it well, but the best is when the tracks are a bit more modern, have the more modern lyrics and brings in that punky vibe that makes for the better mix of styles than the straight up folk tracks tend to reach for.
