"When they first appeared, people referred to the Pogues as an 'Irish punk' outfit. Since then I've heard them recategorized half a dozen times. But nomenclature notwithstanding, there's no disputing what the Pogues brought to music in the eighties and nineties.
Few artists communicate as effectively as Shane MacGowan, few voices in music are as immediately recognizeable as his. His lyrical gifts outpace even our most prolific songwriters. When MacGowan writes for himself, he ultimately writes for all of us.
I'm not one of those hyphenated Americans that need go back eight generations for an identity, but when I hear this music, it calls to something inside of me, something I suspect not even Ellis island can fully erase.

Irish Soul

"A completely flawless album from the band that invented "Irish/rock/punk/folk," or whatever you want to call them. None of those labels really apply. The Pogues should really be called an Irish soul band. This album was the pinnacle of Shane MacGowan's lyrical power, which led Bono to say, "I don't think anyone writes better songs than Shane." From the snarling rage of the opening track, to the heartbreaking melody of Fairytale of New York, to the understated beauty of The Broad Majestic Shannon, this is an album that's hard to stop listening to."
Poguetry in motion

"It's hard to judge between the first three albums the Pogues released as they are all sublime in their own way but this, their slickest and most studio produced album, is a stunner.
Every track a winner and the legendary and sorely missed Kirsty McColl duets with Shane MacGowan on the haunting and jaggedly truthful love story "Fairytale of New York."
Shane Macgowan again shows he is adept at both the hard-driving irish rants and also the heart-breaking ballads like "Broad Majestic Shannon" and "Lullaby of London.""
Pogues kick ass

"Still their best album.
Good bonus tracks!
These guys rock harder at age 50 than I've ever rocked in my life.

"I started with "Red Roses For Me" as my first Pogues album. Mistake (which is not to say it's a bad album). I would say start with this one or "Rum, Sodomy & The Lash." At any rate, the Pogues are definitely worth hearing, and this album is definitely one you should have if you dig them."
