Although Swagger comes close, Float has instantly become my favourite FM album. I pray the next one is this classy.
1. Requiem For A Dying Song:
This track is powerful and catchy, I first heard it several months before Swagger was released performed acoustically and loved it. Hard hitting, but some might say a little 'greenday', of course, those people need their ears checked.
2. (No More) Paddy's Lament
I'm still debating whether their label got the apostrophe right on "Paddy's" but with a song this good it's hard to care.
3. Float
A slow acoustic number, stays with you long after you stop listening to it.
4. You Won't Make A Fool Out Of Me
I didn't like this one as ... Read More:

I personally prefer the livelier Flogging Molly from albums like Swagger and Drunken Lullabies. I just don't think Float is quite right for me.

Having read the first review on here, sorry to disagree.
This is a varied album with songs that really get into your head. Each track is strong in it's own way and if I am to pass criticism, the whole album feels too short and over to quickly. Previous albums have been a roller coaster of strong and weak tracks, the songwriting is strong and the pace is kept just right on this album and there are there is no loss of momentum leaving the listener reaching for the skip button.
True the opening lyric to the album "there's a government whip cracked across your back" is a bit of a cringer, but after this the lyrics get better, making perfect sense on many songs, but the raw emotion of "Float" and the power build up to the ... Read More:

This album is the seventh piece of art attributed to Flogging Molly, everything included. It does not fail, it is not sounding stale, it sounds like what it is, a band who have found their niche, fine-tuned it, and got better. The album marks a turning point, as it is the first recorded in the home of Dave King and Briget Regan (a wonderful pair), Ireland. It has some real touches of the classic style, as well as the benchmark riffs and high-speed playing.
There are no stand out tracks, they are all brilliant. Their ability to open an album on a blaster and close with a sentimental ode has not changed, and why should it? It's a signature now, like the themes, drink, death, Ireland, love, and the Irish-American dream.

Dave King is an erudite and obviously intelligent soul but he's trying far too hard to squeeze his education into the good time Oirish punk rock Flogging Molly produce.
He takes well worn cliches, gives them a twist and fails. Adding a spin or trying to create new ones just drags the whole Flogging Molly experience down. It's something that has hampered every Molly album, just as you're getting into it a lyric jars and you're left thinking ??? when all you want is simple heartfelt passion.
That said, if you like their previous stuff you'll enjoy this, it's by no means a bad album but don't expect a 'Black Friday Rule' or 'Rebels of the Sacred Heart' or even a 'Tobacco Island'. It's a pale shadow compared to anything from ... Read More:
