Neither of those songs on the epitaph site are that good, especially the auld triangle...they butchered it. I like that I'm shipping off to Boston song a lot though, it's on some compilation CD I have.

Totally agree. I think it is their worst album until now

"...worst album until now..." ??

Anyway, I've had the album a while. I like it. It had to grow on me a little, but I like it for its own merits. So they sing Old Triangle differently...so what?

I'm not a purist at all but it hasn't grown on me either. Just don't know what it is, that I don't like about the album.

It's not that they sing it differently because as a big fan of most of their music I'm used to them playing their covers very differently, it's that they play it badly!!

I totally dig that version. You gotta admit; most of the versions are just boring. This one's fun to singalong.

Did you ever listen to Blackout? THAT was a bad album. Or maybe just an OK album. But it wasn't great nonetheless.

The Warrior's Code is really good actually. Green Fields of France is my favorite song on the album. And I like Wicked Sensitive Crew.

I thought blackout had it's moments... I'll download some more songs off the warrior's code in a bit though. whichever way ya look at these two albums you've gotta admit that Do or Die and Sing Loud, Sing Proud were a helluva lot better.

Parts of Blackout sound like Flogging Molly (who I intensely dislike) but I do have to admit that Fields of Athenry is an amazing traditional cover if you are into punk...the other stuff on blackout is ok...not to sure about black velvet band though...this is a great trad song but sometimes playing something really fast doesn't do it justice...
