annathepiper | Young Dubliners verdict (Reply)

I'm definitely going to have to buy Real World, and possibly also Red, since both of those albums have ditties on them that I'd really like to hear on a regular basis. Not quite as sure about Absolutely and Breathe, since the Young Dubs seem to have pulled a progression similar to Carbon Leaf in that it sounds like they needed a couple of albums to get their style and character really together.

So far, though, I'm really grooving on "Bodhran", "Banshee", "Real World", "Touch the Sky", "Evermore", and "Waxies Dargle". I really like the lead vocals on "Evermore", and the melody line as well. "Bodhran" and "Banshee" are both bitchin' instrumentals. And in general, I like the Irish touch to a pretty rocking style overall.
