Free Music Review: Down All The Days
Hit: 3 Stars
The record cover pretty much says it all. This is a bare fisted brawl of a record. The sound of egos & artistic differences duking it out, bloodying noses & blackening eyes. Atleast behind the scenes. Pity it doesn't sound that way.
While The Pogues seemed to want to distance themselves from Irish Music & "experiment", frontman Shane MacGowan stubbornly stuck to his guns. If they only listened to MacGowan. Though an arguement could be made for it being "diverse", truth be told, this is their least cohesive album. In light of their preceeding work, possibly their worst. There's a general malaise on this album. Of being exhausted & not wanting to admit it. But all is not lost, I mean this is The Pogues after all.
With the exception of Jem Finer's "Albert Bridge" & Philip Chevron's "Lorelei", its the MacGowan numbers that by & large hit home, lending the album some much needed glue. Highlights include: "White City", "Down All The Days", "USA" & "London, You're A Lady".
That said, as performers The Pogues seem far more invested than MacGowan. Where "Blue Heaven" sounds like a desperate attempt to cheer things up, "Tombstone" seems to capture the true morale of the band. On the shambling, bender of "Boat Train" MacGowan appears to have summed up his attitude towards the proceedings.
In terms of the bonus tracks, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" is essential. Full of all the vitality & humor lacking on this record. Elsewhere, "Honky Tonk Women" is an exercise in self parody, perhaps meant to be "ironic" but marks a decided low point in their recording career.
Anyway you cut it, its just not The Pogues at their best. While I wouldn't call it a complete "fall from grace", I suppose its safe to say this is their "hangover" album.
