FM are a great live band (saw them back in '04,) and I will leave it at that. I have their albums, but all of them have failed to impress me. I like some songs on Swagger and Drunken Lullabies, put after that it is one pensive song afther other, and sometimes I can't tell one song from the next, because almost all of them sound the same. Plus, I hate that Dave King tries to distance himself from The Pogues, saying FM is more influenced by Johnny Cash and others, well that may be, but give fucking credit, where it is due; given the fact that I can name at least five or six songs by FM that sound exactly like The Pogues.
