Signed and Sealed In Blood (CD)
Dropkick Murphys
Amoeba Review
01/07/2013
The latest from the Irish pub-rock kingpins does what they do best, booming with intensity and vibrancy while lacing the music with traditional instrumentation like banjo and stomping percussion. “The Boys Are Back” shuffles between a pogoing punk rhythm and its rousing chorus. “Prisoner’s Song” is similarly anthemic, while “Rose Tattoo” goes for the heart by way of a walking blues ballad. Remarkably the band remains adept both at going full-force pub punk (“Burn”) and more sensitive material that draws from traditional Irish music, such as the beer-soaked elegy “Jimmy Collins’ Wake.” They even squeeze in a Christmas song with “The Season’s Upon Us.” Signed and Sealed in Blood’s good-natured Irish punk is strong enough to ensure Dropkick Murphys will be a sports bar staple for years to come.
