What Operation Ivy is to the latter-day ska revival, Gogol Bordello is to the increasingly popular revival of Eastern European music. Blending gypsy rhythms with the intensity of alternative-rock, metal (and even rap), the group is justly renown for their charged live performances. The title track is a lovely mix of Balkan strings with pleasant screams from lead singer/ shouter Eugene Hutz. If only more of the songs followed its lead. As a whole, the album sounds like Leftie bumper stickers set to vaguely aggro "gypsy rock." "My Strange Uncles from Abroad" makes its political statement in a personal and affecting manner, but other tunes such as "Forces of Victory" are merely affected. It's hard not to agree with their world view or love for the woozy sounds of Eastern Europe. But on this album, GB make the Dead Kennedys seem subtle. And it would be nice if there were more variety to their sound. Perhaps they should collaborate with Beirut, Muzsikas, or Hawk and a Hacksaw next time? --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

Gogol Bordello has been breaking down musical barriers since 1999 with a supercharged music based on a brutal gypsy two step rhythm that sounds like an Eastern European cousin of ska, augmented by punk, metal, rap, flamenco, roots reggae, Italian spaghetti western twang, dub, and other sounds generated by gypsies and rebels from across the globe. This is intense transglobal rebel rock, not light headed world fusion pop. It's about believing that music and art can transform negative energy to positive and inspire individual intelligence.

THIS ALBUM ROCKS!!!.......2007-07-23

This band is only getting better and better. Their melodies and instrumentation is really tightening up and I truly cannot get enough of this album! ...listen to it a few times and you won't be able to get the songs out of your head. THIS IS GREAT MUSIC PEOPLE!

Refreshing........2007-07-10

As the Pogues once fused Irish folk with punk rock, so Gogol Bordello do the same with fiery Balkan gipsy music.
Although a formidable live presence, the New York band have been hit and miss on record.
Super Taranta! is a step forward. Roaring choruses are interspersed with manic violins, dub interludes and raucous polemics growled by luxuriantly moustachioed frontman Eugene Hutz.
"Gogol Bordello"'s red-blooded passion is refreshing, and they finally have another batch of boisterous singalongs to match it.
This 'gypsy punk' cacophony is all those times rolled into one.
Party on, dudes !

Dancing Taranta.......2007-07-10

Gogol Bordello hit the big time with their last album of raucous gypsy-punk, which coincided with frontman Eugene Hutz's screen debut.

And they stick to their past sound in "Super Taranta!" -- a mad, frenetic ride splattered with heavy doses of Balkan folk music. Their sound and vibe don't shift too much in this one, but their energy and wildness hasn't failed them, or their kooky blend of gypsy and Pogues-style rock'n'roll.

"If we are here not to do/what you and I wanna do?/And go for rubber, crazy with it/why the hell we are livin' here? DAH!" Eugene Hutz calls out a capella...

... just before the music lapses into a swaying, colourful Balkan melody... which goes into fast-forward about halfway through. Hutz is roaring and growning about how "there were never any good old days/they are today, they are tomorrow!/It's a stupid thing to say" as the music revs around him.

It gets even more energetic in the wild festival sound of "Wonderlust King," and the driving bass-rocker "Zina Marina." With those done, they spin off into a series of energetic Balkan rockers: accordion pop, jibbering fiddlerock, darkly gleeful punk, wailing guitar laments, and what sounds like the theme song to a gypsy James Bond movie.

It has to be admitted, Gogol Bordello hasn't really changed their sound much. Not that stops it from being fun frenetic, colourful, slightly messy and very insane, without a shred of self-consciousness. It's a Jackson Pollock of Balkan noise.

But "Super Taranta" does adjust their sound a bit -- there's a bit more gypsy in their music, and a few bits less punk, with tighter melodies than before. We get a tangle of raging, twining guitar and bass (and Eliot Ferguson's solid drums) driving the melodies along, but often they're swathed in dancey fiddle and blaring accordion. It's a pretty wild ride, all around.

And Hutz provides practically all the singing himself, in a voice that always sounds like he's about to pop a vocal cord. Raw, rough, untamed. He growls, wails, howls, and roars out his political, party-hearty lyrics: "My strange uncles from beyond/I'll meet 'em on the cosmos street/and we will drink to how we told/to never trust a plastic beat!"

"Super Taranta" is the sort of music that gets your heart racing and adrenaline shooting. A raucous, wild party album for an East European festival.

Like dropping a hand grenade into a box of kittens.......2007-02-07

In my first experience of Gogol Bordello, a friend layed a track on me, had me listen to it, loud, headphones on, without any explanation. Which, I must say in retrospect was just wrong. This album requires a full Surgeon General's Warning, advising those with a proclivity towards sensory induced migraines or temporal lobe siezures to lay down the iPod and step away. I mean, I don't want to say this highly energetic music is bad, but I sure don't have the correct anti-siezure meds to get through it. So, enjoy. It's all yours.

loud and beautiful.......2007-01-05

I had never actually heard of Gogol Bordello until I read a review in a magazine about them. I decided to check them out because the idea of Gypsy Punk intrigued me. I'm usually up for any type of music so I didn't hesitate to try them out. I was glad I did. The music is all so infectious that it's hard not to like them. Song after song I never grew tired of the unique blend of all the ingredients that make this album something you wont come upon very often in life.

This is the second album from the Los Angeles based octet, Flogging Molly. Taking influence from their Irish roots and the sound of the Californian punk scene, 'Drunken Lullabies'is a mix of brash punk rock guitars, violins, whistles and accordians. The band are often compared to the Pogues and fellow punk band, The Dropkick Murphys.

My Favorite CD.......2007-06-17

This is Flogging Molly at their absolute best. Every track is great. What else is there to say. Great music by a great band. I never get tired of this recording.

Dave King from Fastway on vocals!!!!.......2007-04-03

I did a search on Fastway to see what Dave King (ex vocalist from the blues metal band Fastway...from the '80's) was up to these days and ran across a comment that he was singing for a band called Flogging Molly. I heard some sample clips and honestly I don't think , from what I heard anway, that he sounds anything like he did on the Fastway albums. That's not a good or bad thing...just my observation. I'll listen to a few more, but I'd like to hear him wail on a song or two to compare his voice to that from the '80's. Don't get me wrong, this stuff will keep your feet movin'. I enjoyed what I have heard. I just need to listen to some more tracks. I mainly wrote this review to inform any Fastway fans out there who may be wondering whatever became of good ole Dave. I'm glad he has found solice in something he obviously enjoys doing. Keep on keepin' on!

My first Celtic Rock CD.......2006-12-07

I heard the title track from this CD back in Fall of 2004, and instantly became a Celtic Rock fan. I began a quest to find as much comparable and similar music as I could. I will say that this is about where I draw the line in terms of how much "punk" style I can deal with in my Celtic Rock. The vocals are a little harsh sounding, but the music is lively and enjoyable enough to make up for it. For me it was a good place to start. If you like Irish-style music and can deal with a little hard rock, you will like this.

If its Flogging Molly, Its good.......2006-11-10

My favorite album is Swagger but this one is great too. You can't go wrong with any Flogging Molly.

One of the best bands of all time........2006-09-25

I never really was into punk music too much. I thought it was too much screaming, and not enough instrumentation. THen, I discovered Flogging Molly, one of the greatest things to ever happen. I listened to Drunken Lullabies, and was immedietely hooked on this band. THis is an amazing CD that truly deserves recognition. This was the first Flogging Molly CD I listened to, and got me completely hooked on this Irish/Folksy punk band.
Track by Track:
1. "Drunken Lullabies": Brilliant opening, with a cool sounding banjo in the beginning, an awesome fiddle, and some great lyrics. 10/10
2. "Whats Left of the Flag": Another awesome song, with even better lyrics than drunken lullabies. Its not as catchy musically, but only barely so. Many consider this one of their best because of its bitter lyrics. Again, a great violin, and some really good singing. 9.5/10
3. "May the living be dead in our wake": Its similar sounding to the first two, except instead of a violin, there's a flute, which makes an awesome sound. Its still fast paced and upbeat, but more soothing than the first two songs. 9/10
4. "If I ever leave this world alive": A slow ballad that is remarkably well done. After three fast songs, it may not seem as good, but give this song some time, and you'll enjoy it. The singing is excellent here, showing Dave King's vocal power and range. 8/10
5. "The Kilburn High Road": Again, another fast paced one with a killer guitar solo, and another flute. Similar sounding to "May the living..." with a VERY catchy chorus that I always find myself singing. 9/10
6. "Rebels of a sacred heart": This is a different style song. It has a slow opening that may sound not so good, but it has an intensely catchy chorus, and if you give it several listens, it is excellent. Its long, but definetely a brilliant addition. 9/10
7. "Swagger": One of the weaker songs of the album. It is completely instrumental, with only one line that means nothing. However cool the melody is, its too repetitive to be good. THe guitar is a treat here, but again, too repetitive. Luckily its short. 6/10
8. "Cruel Mistress": There's a change of singers here, but the song is still instrumentally amazing. I don't care much for the bass player singing, I think Dave King is a lot better, but this guy provides a more sinister and evil sort of sound, and the whole songs sounds very pirate like and kind of catchy. Its not the best, but still pretty well done. 7.5/10
9. "Death Valley Queen": This is one of my personal favorites. The violin is very well done here, and despite the fact that its a slow song, which may turn people away, the lyrics are extraordinary, about a lost love. I love this song. 9/10
10. "Another Bag of Bricks": THis one sounds arabian and asian with the accordian opening it, and is different and cool. Dave King has a more sinister tone in his voice, it kind of reminds me of "Cruel MIstress". Its better though, and certainly a break from the style of the first three songs. Again, its good, but not excellent. 8/10
11. "The Rare Ould Times": Many consider this song filler, but I love the chorus. The singing/lyrics here are great, although there's not too much in the melody. Like "Cruel MIstress", its good, but not great. 7.5/10
12. "The Son Never Shines": THis is a ballad, and personally, I don't like it. Its too slow, and rather boring. THe singing is good, but the melody, instrumentation is too boring for me. Overall, a weak finish. 5/10.

However, despite a couple blemishes (The Son Never Shines, Swagger) this album is amazing. Definetely, if you like music with great melodies, and yet still a upbeat feel, this is a brilliant album.

Chess is a musical that sounds like it shouldn't work but instead succeeds surprisingly well. This is the original concept album that was recorded before the musical was staged in London. Chess is the story of a love triangle told against the backdrop of an international chess tournament during the height of the cold war. The composers are Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (the Bs in ABBA) and the lyrics are by Tim Rice, who supplied the words for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, as well as Disney's Aladdin (with Howard Ashman), The Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast. The six-member cast does a beautiful job with the songs, which are a combination of ballads, rock, and operatic choruses. Murray Head's version of "One Night in Bangkok" became a surprise hit in the mid-'80s and it still turns up on the turntables in dance clubs around the world. --Michael Simmons

Customer Reviews:

This should never have worked at all.......2007-06-18

And on that basis alone, you've got to cut it some slack. Fortunately, not all that much slack turns out to be necessary.

While "Chess" may be a document of an era that no longer exists, there's a lot more going on than the surface metaphor. It holds up very well indeed. When it aims for humor, it generally succeeds, and likewise when it aims to devastate. What more can you ask for?

A GREAT AND OFTEN OVERLOOKED MUSICAL FROM THE 80-IS.......2007-03-04

`Chess' is a musical that should be counted among the best of what the 1980-is had produced: side by side with `Cats', `The Phantom of the Opera', `Les Miserables' or `Miss Saigon'. The score as heard on this concept album, written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (formerly of ABBA) and with the exceptional lyrics written by Tim Rice, stand proof to this. And yet, due to various reasons, like the changing of the director half way through London staging; a heavy rewrite for Broadway and a pan review from Frank Ritch (a.k.a. `The Butcher of Broadway'), `Chess' seems to be unjustly neglected.

This concept album is the main reason why the show has so many ardent fans until this day. Tim Rice wanted to write the show with the main plot revolving around chess for years and after his long time partner Andrew Lloyd Webber remained uninterested, he found the new collaborators in Ulvaeus and Andersson. The subject matter follows two international chess players in a championship, a Russian (Tommy Körberg) and an American (Murray Head) and a woman called Florence (Elaine Paige) who is a manager to the American but falls in love with the Russian. The story also draws a parallel between the game of chess and the cold war/real life situations.

This concept album was recorded in 1984, two years before the original London production took place. As the authors noted in the accompanying booklet, it was a work in progress and thusly the story is not quite readable here from the musical numbers alone. Despite that fact (which is amended by the synopsis included in the booklet), this album remains a winner. The score (played here by the London Symphonic Orchestra) itself makes an intriguing bland of the famous ABBA sound, the classical; the rock and the pop enhanced by the orchestral solo passages and the strong choral parts. The lush orchestrations add an epic touch to it and on the whole it is melodic and hummable, packed with great tunes. Some of the songs achieved huge success outside the musical: `I know him so well', a duet between Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson, held the number one spot on the UK singles charts for 4 weeks in February 1985 and won Ivor Novello Award as the Best Selling Single; Murray Head's `One night in Bangkok' became one of the biggest dance hits of its time, often heard today. Some other notable tunes include `The Anthem' (Russian's deliberation on his homeland); the soaring rock songs `Where I want to be' and `Pity the child' (in the former, the Russian reflects upon his life under the spotlight; in the latter, the American ponders about his own unhappy childhood) or the gentle `Heaven help my heart' (in which Florence weighs up her relationship with the Russian).

A special reference must be made to Tim Rice's excellent lyrics. With `Chess' he managed to keep up to the high standards he set himself in `Jesus Christ Superstar' and Evita'. Again in this case he shows he is a lyrical wizard, with his familiar cynical touch. `The story of chess', in which he gives a history of the game in a couple of crafty verses, is a pure masterpiece. The same can be said of the song `I know him so well', where the two women reexamine their relationship with the same man. As a whole, `Chess' owes a lot of its appeal to Tim Rice's written word.

The cast on this album ranks the high standard of the material. The principal parts (sung by Elaine Paige, Tommy Körberg and Murray Head) are delivered in a strong and impeccable fashion.

This 2-disc edition comes with a booklet containing a note from the authors, a text about chess, a full synopsis and a libretto, together with the photos of the principal singers.

Anyone interested in the modern musical theatre should find `Chess' to be a great score with great lyrics, which should be enough to satisfy any aficionado.

Chess.......2007-01-15

A magnificent musical, i have enjoyed the music since i first heard it and read the storyline. Had been unable to find it in our local music stores.Very pleased to find it on your site.

One of my favorites!.......2007-01-12

I love "Chess"! I still remember the first time I heard the single "One Night in Bangkok" on my car radio. I thought it was so unusual and so very cool, so I tracked down the album and bought it. Then I taped it onto a cassette, which is what I've been listening to for years, so I finally broke down and got it on CD. Of course, it's on my iPod now. I've seen the musical, and I loved that, too.

Concepts get better with practice.......2006-11-27

I love this show! That said, I do not care for this version of it. The inclusion of the word "concept" in the title means it is just that. This was, thankfully, not the final version of the show that would later spawn the hit song, "One Night In Bangkok".

With most Broadway musicals, the musical numbers tell the basic story of the show. If you listen to the recordings of Phantom, Mama Mia, Beauty and the Beast, you can discern the basic storyline of the show. Listening to this particular recording of Chess, though, will leave you wondering "What was that?" The Broadway arrival of Chess saw a much needed reworking of the storyline and arrangement of the musical numbers. This recording seems too much like a mish-mash of songs that don't really relate to each other.

For musical fanatics (like myself), I say "yes, you should have this recording in your collection", if only to understand how much work went into the show before it opened on Broadway.

If you are only buying the album because of "One Night In Bangkok", purchase the Broadway recording instead; you'll be much happier with the performance by Phillip Casnoff rather than Murray Head.

Not as good as other flogging molly albums, but has some gems.......2006-12-15

This was the last of the Flogging Molly albums that I listened to, although it is their first. You can kind of tell, as Dave King's vocals aren't always as good as the other two albums. However, thats no damper on what is still a great album by one of the most unique bands ever.
Track by track:
1. Salty Dog - 9/10 - A good catchy opening song with some great lyrics, has a nice pirate feel to it, I love the fiddle in this song.
2. Selfish Man - 8.5/10 - Again, I like the fiddle, espeically the opening. Its not as good as the first song, but nothing that bad about it, this is a well made song, good lyrics, instrumentation.
3. The Worst Day Since Yesterday - 2/10 - To be honest, this one put me straight to sleep, it gets so boring and repetitive, and its a really bad ballad, if you want a good ballad, listen to Wistles the Wind on the other album, or, go a little farther down here, and listen to These Exiled Years. This was a good effort I suppose, but really, pretty boring.
4. Every Dog Has its Day - 8.5/10 - A lot like Selfish Man, in the sense that the fiddle is cool, and the lyrics are well written. Again, its about pirates, but its not really as "piratey" as Salty Dog, I guess cause he doesn't go with the accent on this one. STill, a good song.
5. Life in a Tenement Square - 9/10 - I really like this song, its a bid sad, but the flute is very good here, it gives it a different vibe than the previous songs.
6. The Ol Beggars Bush - 10/10 - One of my favorites on this CD, the tune is incredibly catchy, the flute is AWESOME, the lyrics are very good too. I can never get the opening out of my head, very nice flute entrance.
7. The Likes of You Again - 8.5/10 - Good violin fast pacedness, the opening is slow and emotional, then transfers into the fast part, I don't think the fast part is as good as some of the other songs here (Slaty Dog, Selfish Man, Every Dog), but its not bad, the violin there is very catchy once again.
8. Black Friday Rule - 9.5/10 - The full tale of Flogging Molly, their signature solo/live song. I don't give this a 10 because I like the live version on Whiskey album better, but this is a very good song, tells about how King came to "Californ-e-i-a". Very good solos.
9. Grace of God do I - 7/10 - I admit, Dave King's voice is good, but I always find myself skipping this song. His vocals do shine, but this song has no instrumentation, just a vocal solo, and the reason I love Flogging Molly is because of the instruments, therefore, I don't like this song too much.
10. Devil's Dance Floor - 10/10 - My favorite on the CD, amazing song, truly, still, I think its my favorite Flogging Molly Song (ok, maybe a toss up between this one and Seven Deadly Sins), but really, this song is amazing. Great vocals, great lyrics, great flute, it just makes you want to get up and dance, even if like me, you suck at dancing. Wonderful song!
11. These Exiled Years - 8.5/10 - This is a ballad, and I think it works wonders comapred to Worst Day. This keeps you hooked, to the emotional lyrics as Dave tells about his mom and being exiled from his country, it may drag a bit, but the overall instrumentation is good, and the lyrics are wonderful.
12. Sentimental Johnny - 6/10 - Ok, so this is the weirdo of the bunch. You've got your trumpet solo, which made a little entrance last song near the end. However, this is almost way too circusy and stupid for Flogging Molly. I admit, the trumpet's got some skill, but the song itself is mediocre at best.
13. Far Awar Boys - 4/10 - This one I didn't like too much either, again, its a ballad, and it drags a bit too much for me. Kind of a boring let down to the album, but whatever.

Overall, it has its flaws, but also its gems. THe album itself is worth it simply for Devil's Dance Floor alone. However, you'll have a blast listening to the upbeat songs in the beginning, and especially Black Friday rule and Beggar's Bush. Just avoid most of the ballads, and you'll love this album.

Discovering Flogging Molly is better than falling in love........2006-06-20

I have long been a big fan of traditional Celtic music and never thought I would find myself liking music that is often classified as Punk. I got turned onto Flogging Molly accidentally on the internet and was instantly addicted to the driving beat mixed with awsome lyrics and more than one surprise per song. I immediatly bought this album and have never regreted it.

I shall never lend this CD to anyone!!! but you really should buy one for yourself.

Flogging Molly a great live band? Indeed, However I liked it better when it was called The Pogues........2005-12-09

Ahh!!, the genre of Celtic punk has really now just become a real cash cow comodity, thanks to bands like Flogging Molly, The Tossers, and to a lesser extent Dropkick Murphy's. First off Irish music is something that I hold sacred to my heart, I'm third-generation Irish-American, so bands like The Dubliners, The Chieftains, and the Clancy Brothers, are the godfathers of the genre. However, when I first heard the Pogues, I was completely blown away, it sounded like The Sex Pistols setting fire to The Chieftains, sure Irish tradition music had been around for a long time, but when the Pogues got a hold of it their sound was really pioneering. "Red Roses For Me," "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash," "If I Should Fall From Grace With God," I'll even throw in "Peace and Love," still to this day rule my life. Which brings me to the question, who is the best band in the genre of Irish punk, after the Pogues. Well, none of the new bands have the fire, energy, and spirit of the Pogues, but Flogging Molly is pretty close, with The Tossers coming in at a close second, every other bands needs to get their own thing and stop looking up to granndad.
However, people in America, seem to think Flogging Molly is an original act and I'm always asked the question "Who are The Pogues?" Let me put your minds at ease with some of the differences between the two.
First, Flogging Molly may be a great live band, but so were the Pogues. When Shane MacGowan was up for it, they were truly a force to be reckon with.
Second, Dave King is no Shane MacGowan. Sure, Dave King writes some great lyrics, but Shane is a poet, his lyrics seems to flow through him, words cannot do him justice alone; he is a modern Irish storyteller.
Third, The Pogues were blessed with other great musicians, like Terry Woods, Philip Chevron, Spider Stacy (a.k.a. "The best tin whistle player ever,) and Jem Finer. Chevron wrote the epic song "Thousands Are Sailing," while Terry Woods wrote great songs like "Young Ned of the Hill," and Jem Finer, cowrote "Fairytale of New York," and wrote a lot of great Pogues instrumentals and other songs as well. Dave King seems to be the only gifted writer in the Flogging Molly.
Finally, even though MacGowan did'nt agree with this, the Pogues stretched their boundaries musically, especially on "Hell's Ditch," where Flogging Molly's songs all sound the same, and two of their songs "Sentimental Johnny," and "Big Bag of Bricks," totally rip off The Pogues.
It may sound like I'm slagging Flogging Molly, but I do love "Swagger," and "Drunken Lullabies," their both great albums, but they just can't hold a candle to any of The Pogues albums. As far as the music is concerned, I'll take "A Pair of Brown Eyes," over any Flogging Molly album any day.

THE FIRST FROM THE FLOG!.......2005-11-08

I can't rave about this peice more than DRUNKEN LULLABYS, but this one stilll has a sh*t load of balls and will definatley get your pints raised high!
My personal favorites would have to be DEVILS DANCE FLOOR and BLACK FRIDAY RULE. Those two songs alone are SO F'IN GREAT that just thinking about them send shivers down my spine.
If I wasn't at work right now, I think I would be on my way to the packy to buy a Guiness and then go listen to these songs VERY FRIGIN LOUD!

good stuff.......2005-11-03

my friend got me into flogging molly and now they are pretty much my favorite band. this entire album is great except for "Grace Of God Go I" which is somewhat boring. i would definately reccomend this, and the others, to anyone

Album Description

The highly anticipated full-length follow-up to 2002's "Drunken Lullabies". Flogging Molly continue to breed traditional Irish influences and heavy-hearted storytelling with brazen, barn-burning punk rock. At the same time, the ballads that have become welcome staples to their live show (giving the audience a break from the frenzy) are also stronger than ever. Look for a couple surprises this time around, such as a Cajun vibe on "Tomorrow Comes A Day Too Soon", and a guest appearance by Lucinda Williams on "Factory Girls".

this is definetly an amazing irish cd with a unique twist of punk.....it is truly amazing and you will enjoy every second of it

Excellent!.......2007-05-19

Flogging Molly is perhaps the most *fun* band I have ever listened to. From their lyrics to their back beat, just about any song by them is sure to help you out with that adrenaline rush, which is why I have them set as my go-to band when I step onto the Eliptical at the gym. Within A Mile Of Home really delivered, even with a slightly different sound, and I was so pleasantly surprised to hear the old Irish drinking song "Whisky On A Sunday" threaded into "Factory Girls" and "Tobacco Island" is just fantastic. I buy Flogging Molly CD's for my friends as birthday and Christmas presents because I'm always trying to spread the good word about this group.

Irish rock.......2007-04-05

I saw this band live at RFK and immediately ordered two of the CDs. They were fantastic live, and I love their sound on the CDs. I'm going to get more to give as gifts to my Irish relatives!

fantastic album.......2007-02-06

Not much needs to be said:

Dave King and company know what works for them, and they continue to do it in this album. Dave, while sporting a little more pudge (and in fact, lately he looks like a young version of Colonel Sanders) still wails, keens, pleas, and shouts as well as ever.

It's hard to call some tracks "favorites" because I like them all, but "whistles the wind" and "Seven Deadly Sins" do seem to stick in my head.

If you like the Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, or any other Flogging Molly, you will like "Within a Mile of Home"

Same Ol' Flogging Molly.......2006-12-18

I heard someone attack this CD for being more of the same. Well, I give it five stars because it is more of the same. Let's face it, when the first two albums were incredible, there is not a problem in following the same recipe. The two standout songs are "Screaming at the Wailing Wall" and the title track. This is the only band that I will ever mention in the same breath as the Pogues.

1. Full Length Documentary

Amazon.com

Forever the buzz on Flogging Molly: the records are terrific, but wait until you see them live. And you can do both with the Los Angeles band's fifth record, a dual-disc CD (10 songs) and DVD (106 minutes) that pulsate with a remarkable mix of Irish pub traditional and enthusiastic punk rock. The audio CD is crammed with fan favorites--"Drunken Lullabies," "Black Friday Rules," "What's Left of the Flag"--that have been recreated either live on stage or acoustically in studio. The latter treatment strips down the wall-of-sound live band until the mandolin, accordion, and tin whistle echo like a Saturday night in Kilkenny, turning rampant rocker "Wanderlust" into a gentle waltz and "Another Bag of Bricks" into a pub-rock sing-a-long. The album's lone newcomer is a full-band studio take of "Laura," a farewell-thee love song featured on the DVD, which includes Bridge Regan's frenzied fiddle playing and vocalist Dave King's croaky Irish twang. Recorded in seven different countries, the DVD nails the genuine spirit of Flogging Molly's live performances and tracks the stories of each band member, especially King, who recalls bolting hometown Dublin for America. --Scott Holter

Album Description

This full-length documentary was shot over two years and in seven countries, capturing the journey of Flogging Molly from their bar band roots to their current success. Includes footage in the studio, on tour, at home, and at their sold-out homecoming performance at the Wiltern Theater in LA. This "in the pocket" experience with the candid and charismatic Flogging Molly family is set to the driving beat of their thunderous live performances. Brought together through unlikely happenstance and bound by an intense passion and heartfelt belief in what they do, the seven members and their associates provide a good look at how things can be done against the grain. Their formula for success: believing in oneself, refusing to be pigeonholed, and rising from humble beginnings to fulfill a dream.

A companion to the fabulous PBS series, the 21-song, 77-minute The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" provides about as good a single-disc compilation as anyone could hope for. (There's also a five-CD version.) What sets it apart from so many other "best of Broadway" collections is its breadth--because it had access to a variety of record-label vaults it doesn't have to try to disguise gaps by using revivals or solo recordings. Here you get all the authentic stuff, including: Paul Robeson singing "Ol' Man River" from the first modern American musical, Show Boat; Ethel Merman singing "You're the Top"; the title song from Oklahoma!; Julie Andrews singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady; West Side Story's "America"; Betty Buckley singing "Memory" from Cats; Hairspray's "Good Morning Baltimore"; and "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, the newest show discussed in the PBS series. And it's hard to argue with the songwriters represented: Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Frank Loesser, Lerner and Loewe, Leonard Bernstein, Bock and Harnick, Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, among others. Obviously, no single-disc compilation could ever please everyone (did we really need two ALW songs?), but as a sampler intended for people who watched the series and want to hear more of the Great White Way, The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" can't be topped. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Some interesting choices, indeed.......2006-03-02

This is a pretty good compilation, but I have to wonder at some of the choices that went into it.
"Good Morning Baltimore" is almost the least impressive song from Hairspray. "You Can't Stop the Beat" was a much more anthemic song from that show.
I agree that it's too bad Les Mis didn't make it in. I would have traded that for anything Sondheim, although that's a personal preference :) .
Still, the opportunity to hear the original performers and orchestras perform these works, all in one place, is a great deal.

Great CD.......2005-11-01

This one plays in the car, on the ipod and in the house. When the kids were little they would ask if we could take them to "The Street". That is what they called Broadway (little did they know at that time how famous that street is). They still love it and we can not get enough of it. This CD covers the best and makes you want to go and see a live performance. You can not beat that.

Great selections, but bad transfers.......2005-07-27

This is a great taste of broadway. If you enjoyed the B'Way series at all, then you will probably enjoy this CD. My problem with it is that some of the songs sound like they were not remastered at all- the transfer to CD is terrible. The orchestrations in "You're the top" by Ethel Merman are muffled, and the song sounds like it was taken straight from an old record and slapped onto the CD without fixing it up. It doesn't sound very clear, which is a bit upsetting and annoying. Maybe this is just because that particular recording is older than some of the songs chosen to be on this CD. The more modern songs sound crisp and new and beautiful. "Swanee" is also very low quality as if it were just taken off of a record and put on the CD without any restoration. I just feel that these songs deserved better treatment and that we as customers deserve better treatment. Decca could have restored these songs and made them sound really good, but they decided just to slap them on the CD without touching them up.

I am surprised that nothing was chosen to be on this recording from Les Miserables since it had been on Broadway for 16 years and its tour is running until 2006. There were selections from Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked, so I am not sure why nothing was chosen from Les Miserables.

Other than these few nit pickings, I think that this is a great introduction to musicals. It gives a little taste across the spectrum. Try getting the cast recordings of the songs that you really like on this collection. It's worth buying if you're a huge broadway fan.

Yes this is Some of the Best of Broadway!.......2005-04-08

This CD from Decca Broadway is a wonderful selection of some of

the "Greatest Hits" of the Broadway stage. Decca and Sony have

done an excellent job of remastering the various recordings, some

of which still show some of their age, but come across quite

well. Are there a lot of songs that I would have put on this

disc? Yes, but the ones on here are good choices. I may have to

get a copy of the Five disc set and the DVD's just to see if any

more of my favorites made it on the list. What this disc seems to

try to do is show the evolution of the Broadway song from it's

early days to the present. It succeeds quite well I think.

If you enjoy Broadway theater this CD is a must!

The music of Broadway comes alive.......2004-10-07

I loved listening to this CD. The music from Broadway's best loved musicals are on this album. I recogized most of these songs, even though I've only seen a few of them on the local stage. I have so many favorites on this CD. It is hard to pick one. I'm a big fan of Barbara Streisand. I loved her performance of People from Funny Girl. Memory is the hit song from the musical Cats. Betty Buckley's performance of this song is so emotional and sincere.

I loved the song Annie. It is a wonderfully optimistic song performed by the original Annie Andrea McArdle. Another highlight for me is the song One performed by the cast of a Chorus Line. Luck Be A Lady Tonight is another of my favorite broadway songs on this CD from Guys and Dolls. The music of the night is a beautiful song by Michael Crawford from Phantom of the Opera. Richard Kiley has such a strong and powerful voice. He sounds so inspirational singing The Impossible Dream from Man from La Mancha. My dream is to see some musicals on Broadway someday and listen to these songs performed live.

I'm surprised that there isn't any music from Miss Saigon or Jesus Christ Superstar included here. I think they are classic musicals with great songs Maybe they will appear on a future compilation from PBS.

"The Dan Band Live" captures their raucous high energy live show, featuring Dan's version of 80's and 90's diva classics such as "Free your Mind/I Am Woman", "Shoop/Whatta Man/Never Gonna Get It", "You Oughta Know", "Genie In A Bottle/No Scrubs/Slave 4 U", and much more.

This CD is a great representation of what The Dan Band is like live. Having seen them twice in concert, I can say that this will give you a good feel, and you'll really enjoy this CD.

Total Eclipse of the Heart.......2006-07-23

This CD has some very clever and funny remakes of songs that we all know. You can hear the crowd in the background, they're so animated! It's a great lifter for when you may be in a bad mood. My favorite song on the album would have to be Total Eclipse of the Heart...it's amazing!

Having enjoyed this CD for almost a year now (it was released in April '05), I finally got a chance to catch The Dan Band live last night at The 9:30 Club in D.C. Dan and the boys played all of this CD (minus the Christmas song) along with Muskrat Love. All I can say is that's the most animated I've ever seen the crowd there. This is an excellent CD that captures all of the excitement that is The Dan Band. Now all they need to do is release the Bravo special on DVD.
