Free Music Notes for Warriors Code (Dig)
Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
The DKM's continue to rock our world with their Irish punk rock sound. Generally, they are known for very fast-paced songs, but you'll be surprised to learn that there is a song on this album that features only piano, a fife, some drums, and pipes towards the end. The song is called "Green Fields Of France". It's a nice break from the heavier stuff they usually do. I also find myself singing the chorus to the song "Captain Kelly's Kitchen" because it's so catchy. Listen to the song a few times and you might find yourself singing "Ma-too-rah-loo-rah-lie, Ma-too-rah-loo-rah-laddy". I can't say enough about the songs Your Spirit's Alive and I'm Shipping Up To Boston. Wonderful tunes that are easy to memorize. The only thing I'm not sure about is them putting Tessie on here. I thought at first they did because they re-made it, but the only thing different is the beginning when they play the last play of the 2004 World Series as heard on the radio. I thought they would have added more to it. Overall, an album worth buying.Free Music Review: An Amazing CD

I usually listen to tracks of the songs here on Amazon.com before buying CD's but for some reason I bought this CD without hearing anything form it first. I guess I got lucky because they may be my favorite CD, there is not a bad song on it. Not one! My favorite songs are Sunshine Highway, Captain Kelly's Kitchen, and Walking Dead. There is one slow song on the CD, Green Fields of France, which I didn't like too much at first but the more I listen to it the more I like it. The guy has such a great voice but you don't notice it in any other song because he's more yelling than singing. As a big St. Louis Cardinals fan I could do without the last song which begins with the last outs of the 2004 World Series but I can't complain because it's such an amazing CD. If you liked the previous Dropkick Murphy's CD's or Flogging Molly I would highly recommend this CD. Even if you don't like the other stuff I still recommend it, it really is awesome.Free Music Review: Celtic + Punk = more fun than you can handle

The Dropkick Murphys have singlehandedly given both punk and Irish music a much needed shot in the behind. If you haven't heard them, they sing a mix of original and traditional Irish songs LOUD complete with rock sentiment and yep, bagpipes.
"The Green Fields of France" penned by Eric Bogle will break your heart if you hear it sung quietly. This warrior's lament starts at the graveside of a fallen World War I soldier and tells of the senselessness of war. DKM changes the whole complexion of the song.
"Tessie" commemorates the love affair between Boston and the Red Sox. Could turn even me into a baseball fan.
Can you really be tongue in cheek when you're screaming lyrics? "Wicked Sensitive Crew" is wickedly funny.
If you like either Irish or punk, give these songs a listen. In my opinion, "Warrior's Code" is the best of the DKM music---so far!

Hit: 5 Stars
Much better than Blackout. While the last CD seemed like an attempt to get on the radio, this one seems more like what I would expect from them. More Bagpipe in this than their last album as well. I enjoyed that big time. Stand out tracks are:
Captian Kellys Kitchen: catchy little tune
Wicked Sensitive Crew: This song is so very true. Probably one of my favorite tracks on the CD
The Warriors Code: Title track. two thumbs up.
Im Shipping Up To Boston: Fell in love wit this tune when I heard it on Hellcat Records, Give 'Em The Boot.
Green Feilds of France: A beautiful song. A sample of the differsity that the Murphys could do. Secodn favorite track I think.
When it' all over a done, I love every track on the CD but those are my favorites. Im really looking forward to seeing them at Warped now.

If you like their most recent releases, well, then, you'll like this one.
There's the usual mix of hard fast celtic punk with songs about loyal friendship. Still lots of bagpipes where appropriate. A couple of songs that have the more accessible "Walk Away" sound to capture the MTV community (that's not a bad thing). A pleasant surprise for me was "Citizen CIA" which could have come from a Dead Kennedys session.
As with their more recent stuff, there are some slow numbers that have something to say, even if you wouldn't include it on a party playlist. (Good for when you're crying in your beer at 2AM)
Like ac/dc, one could accuse these guys of making the same album over and over. Yeah, so, what's your point?
Oh yeah, there is the bonus cut of Tessie. Of course they put Tessie on this CD!
HEY! RED SOX- WORLD CHAMPS. DEAL WITH IT!
