I love Peace and Love (listened to it yesterday, as a matter of fact), and I like Blue Heaven a lot. To these ears, it's a nice little slice of the sort of catchy, breezy, intelligent pop that only comes from the UK and Ireland. Its worst sin is that it's a product of its time - it's got "late 80s/early 90s" stamped all over it. I feel the same way about Tuesday Morning - these songs sound a bit dated, in stark contrast to the timelessness that's the hallmark of most Pogues songs. Funny thing is, I never really liked Tuesday Morning all that much until I saw and heard them do it live - now it's grown on me.
