Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for The SnakeFree Music Review: Patchy, but with good stuff
I am a long time Pogues fan and very wary of getting any "solo" Pogues or Shane effort. But I found an old copy of "The Snake," the 1994 release in a used bin and based on the reviews here, decided to take a chance. I come away with mixed feelings about it. I expected to hear more Irish tinged rock, which there is on this album, but the first tune was a basic straight ahead hard rocking tune. I immediately thought I made a big mistake. But on relistens, the regular rock songs have some redeeming value and the Irish songs are very good, what I expected. I programmed out some songs on my CD player, and turned it into a solid CD. But straight through, there are definitely some songs I could do without.
