Warrior's Code, Dropkick Murphys,
This review is from: Warrior's Code (Audio CD)
Having been a fan for a long time, I'm still amazed how the Murphs can take a song that's corny and 50 years out of date and make it sound like they just wrote it themselves yesterday. Punk is about being different---not just loud and angrily swearing. The Murphs show that you can complain reasonably, and yet show your anger and frustration.

Summer's Knockout Punch,
By Tankery "Tankery" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warrior's Code (Audio CD)
Just when I thought the summer was a musical dud--Gimmicky Dual Discs and over-hyped bands of mediocrity- THE MURPHY'S DELIVER!!!Blackout was the best album of that year to me-Great songs, great power chords, clever, meaningful lyrics, Blackout put the band not just at the top of Punk or Irish Punk, but right in there with just a plain and simple great album of all time. The Warrior's Code is just as good and, heck, I just got it, it might even be better. There's something incredibly special about this band that trancends genres. Like the late Joe Strummer and Rancid, the Murphy's not only embrace Punk, but elevate it to its truest art. They wrap a punk ethic around richly textured power guitar hooks, bagpipes, now some piano-, and snarly perfect vocals-- You put that all together and you have something worth listening to finally this summer. There's also always a healthy dose of humor and irony in their lyrics (Wicked Sensitive Crew) and they don't disappoint if you want to know where they're coming from politically (its what Punk is all about!). The first 4 songs burn in their Punk Ethic and then they get almost straight up rock and roll with Sunshine Highway- which is a great song. The Green Fields of France is the only "slow" song on the album but it is also one of the best they have ever recorded (But they didn't write it...). Even the bonus Track Tessie will blow you away. The Dropkick Murphy's are not only a great Punk band, but one of America's greatest bands period. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful

My newest obsession,
By Travis "Tcheramie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warrior's Code (Audio CD)
I'm not particularly interested in Punk music, I prefer roots/americana/folk and on the other hand 70's and 80's rock music. I, like so many others, heard Dropkick's song on "The Departed" and it's gripping sound drew me in to purchase the album. I am now 100% certain that I will sooner or later end up with every album in their catalog. To tell you the truth, I've abandoned the other 1,000 songs on my iPod for 13 of the 14 tracks on this album. The songs are anthem-like, brawl-inspiring, rugby-esque. Music that goes well with a side of raw meat. I am glad I bought this album before the earlier ones, it's mature and established sound helped hook me. I can't wait (now) to get into the grittier earlier tunes.

Celtic punk reaches epic status.,
By Kevin C. Fitzpatrick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warrior's Code (Audio CD)
The Dropkick Murphys deliver on so many levels in this album. Their musicianship is absolutely top-notch throughout, but it is the range of emotionally searing topics that they have put together that reach out and shake you in this masterwork. Their own musical writing skills are considerable, but what is even more amazing is the treatment they have given to the poetry of Woody Guthrie, Eric Bogle and Brendan Beehan. Anyone with even the most remote trace of Celtic blood coursing in their veins (and modern geneticist say that is quite a few of us!) will not be able to resist the wild and hypnotic effects of "Shipping Off to Boston" - that must be why Scorsese chose it for "The Departed".
