We're hitting a string of albums featuring artists I have never heard of (who/what the hell is Mudhoney?) which can either lead to happy discoveries or a crushing existential crisis where I question what I am doing with my life. Thankfully, this fell in the former category (although I have a feeling I know where Mudhoney is going).
So this album had a compelling Irish sound, and it was interesting listening to this after The Pogues. It feels like The Water Boys play it a bit safer, and I enjoyed it more. I loved their cover of "Blackbird" and who doesn't like a track that has the word "Ye" in the title?
Next up, Fishbone! Who dis.
RATING: 3/5
