Less Irish, more rock... still good
16 July 2002
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got my copy of this album today along with "Breathe". It's interesting listening to the two next to each other. They're different but still similar.
On this album they're definitely promoting their rock side. Gone are the mandolin, banjo, harmonica, sax, and whistles as well as a lot of their foundation-setting Irish sound. (The violin is the sole folk instrument remaining.)
"Unreel" is the only instrumental, and that term is used technically. 1, there are more drums on the track than violin; 2, it's only 1:45 or so long and conveniently placed in the middle of the album, so it's really more of an intermission track. "Brown Dog" is a good fast-paced pub song. Their cover of "Ooh La La" comes off nicely. Overall the songs come off more mature than previous releases. They're touching on some big issues and deep emotions. Except for "Knickers"; you may not want to let the kids listen to that one. And there are NO re-worked traditional songs (such as "Rocky Road to Dublin" or "Follow Me up to Carlow"), which is moderately disappointing.
I recently reviewed Seven Nations latest ("And Now it's Come to This") and bashed it all over. This may seem to be a hypocritical point to dislike their new turn but enjoying what YD is doing. But, while 7N and YD are both typically lumped in the "Celtic rock" file their styles are different. 7N has made a major shift in structure, while YD always has been a sort of Irish rock band. Personally, I find YD's new set different than previous releases but still catchy and respectable. The Irish tint is not as strong as before but still definitely present. This album is like a natural evolutionary step for them, as opposed to 7N which is forcing a new style.

Sexy and Smart

This is a tight studio album full of great originals and one excellent cover. There is something for everyone on this cd...I dare you to not like it. Great party music or road tripping music...anywhere any time...the dubs will have you rocking. The songs are a spectrum of emotion and energy, everything from the light hearted "Kickers" (written for their sponsors Killian's Irish Red) to the poignent "These Days" to the best drinking song I've heard in a long time "Brown Dog". You'll laugh you'll cry you'll dance....and I garuntee you'll love every minute of it. Best Celtic Rock band in the world. For more info on the band check out their website at www.youngdubs.com

Love it!

I absolutly love this cd. I would have to say that this one is definitely my favorite out of all there releases thus far. Keith, the lead singer, has an amazing voice and they all know how to rock. I have been to many of there shows and they, without a doubt, are one of the best bands to see live. They deliver a great show and know how to have a good time! You can't go wrong buying this cd!
