Customer Reviews the mahones This CD is alright but its not even close to of the any of the pogues or flogging molly. I dont usually write reviews, but i have to comment on the review from Cambridge, MA. its a good listen but its not the pogues. Getting better If you're looking for a follow-up to The Pogues, don't hesitate and give this one a try. HCL is Mahones' best album so far. Dont be fooled If you're looking for a great band like The Tossers, Flogging Molly, The Korrs, whatever, this isn't the one. I made the mistake of buying this album off of the two great reviews. Most of it sounds like that horrible early nineties alternarock, the Gin Blossoms come to mind. It's painfully generic in it's sound and lyrics. Infact, the lyrics sound like they were written by a goofy high school kid a couple of days before the battle of the bands. The "Irish" sound that I usually love often comes out sounding more cajun than celtic. I almost threw this cd out of my car window on first listen. If this album is going to be sold under "Irish rock" it should be sold next to the Proclaimers and 500 miles from any good band like Blood or Whiskey and Flogging Molly. .
