A solid lyrics-based album.......2005-12-07
There are a few attention-getting tracks on the album, but most of it left me merely absent-mindedly toe-tapping. I was thinking of re-selling it, but then sat down and listened while reading the lyrics: there are near a half dozen strong songs (1,3,6,10,13) plus two outstanding tracks (5,8). Most lyrics are by band members (and Spider sings them understandably), but an extreme case is "When the Ship Comes In": unremarkable music made dramatic by Bob Dylan lyrics.
So not as strong as other Pogues albums, but it's no slacker, especially if you usually pay strong attention to lyrics, and consider passing otherwise.
3.5 Stars.......2005-11-28
This album really isn't bad. In fact, its amazing its as good as it is. Keep in mind Shane Macgowan was no longer with the band at this time, and he was the heart and soul of the band, not to mention an amazing songwriter. Putting that aside, this is a good album, and I would probably think of it more highly if I hadn't come to expect so much from this group. There are some really great tracks on here like "How Come", "Living In A World Without Her", "When The Ship Comes In" & "Bright Lights". However, the rest of the album is nothing special. If you are just getting into the Pogues get "Rum Sodomy & The Lash", "Red Roses For Me" & "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" before you even begin to consider buying this album. If you are a Pogues fan and are wondering what the band sounded like without Macgowan, definitely get this over "Waiting For Herb" (which is a terrible album).
Just don't expect it to sound like Shane..........2005-09-20
This isn't as good as earlier Pogues with MacGowan, but compared to other recordings in the Celtic rock genre, this isn't a bad album. Released under any name other than the Pogues I think this would be considered a decent collection of songs. It does still have that same accordion, banjo & whistle driven atmosphere that is a hallmark of the Pogues. In a genre that had & has its share of amateurish bands, you can definitely tell that this is a band of professionals. Of course it's totally predictable that there would be an outcry against a Shaneless Pogues, so resist jumping on the band wagon and enjoy this album for what it is.
The Pogues swan song........2005-06-15
Pogue Mahone (1995) was the last studio album recorded by the Pogues. In some ways it's a self titled album because Pogue Mahone was the original name of the band.
Spider Stacy, Andrew Ranken and Jem Finer are the only founding members left (long standing member Darryl Hunt is still with the band as well). Four new members were added to round out the rest of the group. Too much liquor and a rift with a possible returning Shane MacGowan caused James Fernaly, Terry Woods and an ailing Phillip Chevron to quit the band. Shane wasn't in any condition to return to the group full time so he bailed out. Spider and company wasn't ready to call it a day so the remaining members went back into the studio to record Pogue Mahone.
Several of the songs on this disc are very enjoyable (Anniversary, When the Ship Comes In, I'll Love you until the End and How Come). The other band members do an adequate job of replacing the departed players. Overall, the album doesn't have the fire and passion of the previous discs. Maybe if the band hung around a little bit longer and recorded another album then they could have been a much more tighter sounding unit. In ways it's a fitting tribute to a band that captured the raw energy of celtic folk music.
Recommended for fans.
Don't roll your eyes just yet..........2005-04-25
Okay, so it's not Rum Sodomy and the Lash (honestly, why people go looking for an album in other albums is beyond me). Pogue Mahone is a good album in it's own right. It's got some gems such as: "Where that Love's Been Gone" (which almost has a Cajun feel), "Bright Lights" and "Oretown". I'll admit that the album as a whole isn't an instant classic, but every once in a while I just have to listen to at least my favorite tracks on it.
It's not better than Rum by any means...but it's just as good as Red Roses For Me. And if some of you pretentious Pogues fans don't agree with me...you can just Pogue Mahone.

Customer Reviews:
I don't want to be negative, but..........2005-11-11
Of course this is the 2nd and last album released by the post-Shane Pogues. "Waiting for Herb" had already given a clear indication that the band was spent. Shane played such a dominant role in the Pogues, that his absence is just glaring. I hate dogging the boys, I mean it was not like them and Shane had this heated split. Shane wanted to leave the band and the guys were tired of dealing with this drunken and erratic behavior. However, that drunkard is perhaps the greatest songwriter of all time and the boys should have tolerated him a little more.
Not the Pogues!.......2005-07-05
I've heard some songs from the Pogues before, and was very impressed. The Pogues come highly recommended and I absolutely love Shane McGowan's drunken Irish singing. Shane McGowan is a legend. He's a brilliant songwriter. Shane McGowan is the Pogues.
But McGowan is not with the Pogues for this album. And it severely suffers as a result. I was not aware of this when I purchased this album. I was sorely disappointed. The new singer is mediocre, and the music is rather uninspired. Without Shane McGowan, the Pogues simply don't exist.
If you're looking for classic Pogues, don't buy this album. You'd be much better off picking up such classics as "Red Roses For Me" or "Rum, Sodomy, and The Lash". That's what I'll be doing.
I only hope I can forgive myself for wasting money on "Pogue Mahone". Maybe it'll grow on me in time. But I doubt it.
Swan song........2005-02-20
Just listen to 'Four O'Clock In The Morning' to see just how desperate for inspiration the Pogues had become by this time. It's no wonder that the best tracks on this album - which could hold their own on any previous Pogues release - are covers: Dylan's "When The Ship Comes In" and the obscure but brilliant Ronnie Lane single, "How Come."
With three new Pogues in the lineup, this album has a level of energy lacking in its predecessor, and it could stand on it's own if one wasn't familiar with the Pogues from '84-'90, but it can't compare to the music this band created in its heyday.
Pogue Mahone Indeed!!!!.......2005-02-20
By 1995, the Pogues were starting to run out of steam, Shane MacGowan had left in 1991, and in 1993, Terry Woods, Philip Chevron, and James Fearnley also parted ways. Now the only original members Jem Finer, Spider Stacy, and Andrew Ranken, plus Daryl Hunt were left to pick up the slack. As a result "Pogue Mahone," isn't anywhere near as the MacGowan era "Pogues," however it is a vast improvement over the disappointing "Waiting For Herb." The last studio album by the seminal Irish-folk punk rock band, improves on the strain that was left after "Waiting For Herb." This time around Spider Stacy seems more confident as the lead singer and the songs seem more focused on this release than before. Jem Finer steps up to plate again as the principal songwriter and does a noble job with such cuts as "Tosspint," "Point Mirabeau," and "Bright Lights." However, other members of the Pogues come into play as well, particularly Andrew Ranken who brings the lovely "Amadie," and the depressing "Four O'Clock In The Morning." Even Daryl Hunt; my least favorite Pogue, provides the beautiful "Love You Till The End." Bob Dylan's "When The Ship Comes In," makes it mark on the album as well. Overall, "Pogue Mahone," is an improvement over "Waiting For Herb," but still this album like its predecessor is severely missing the songwriting talents of Shane MacGowan.
The new remastered version is very disappointing, only Jem Finer's "Eyes of an Angel," and the Stephen Hague remix "Love You Till the End," are the bonus tracks. I would recommend some of Jem Finer's hardest to find songs like "Who Said Romance Is Dead."
