Real McKenzies, The – 10,000 Shots (Fat Wreck) Reviewed by Sadie O., 10/2/05 Scots/Canadian booze-ridden punk with trad overtones, pipes, and kilts. Only two songs run longer than 3 minutes and most are a lot shorter. Fun and energetic. Oh yeah, and really boozy. FCC: they saved em all up for track 7, which is pretty much nothing BUT… I like 10 best, then 3, 4, 9, 12. 1. 3:05 *fast, driving, anthemic and worth hoisting a pint to. 2. 2:46 fast, but the chorus is a bit “alternative” for true punk. Very Celtic attitude in the lyrics, but no pipes, boo. 3. 1:59 **ah, plenty of pipes action here! Loud and fast version of a Scots trad classic about Bonnie Prince Charlie. Ends abruptly. 4. 2:37 **very classic punk, except for those pipes. Funny lyrics, if you can make em out. Ends abruptly again. 5. 2:16 *almost a southern rock sound to the guitar. Kind of a punk polka, fun lyrics. 6. 2:09 starts with pipes solo, power chords, midtempo punk cover of Scots-Canadian trad tune. 7. 2:02 So FCC, and so fun. Oh well! Great drunk ending, too… 8. 2:20 southern rock guitar sound again. Midtempo romp (no pipes) about being too drunk to remember someone. I can relate… 9. 2:38 **fast and crazy. Pipes really shine, alternately superfast and making really sick noises. (this song is clearly the Tailor tale) 10. 2:03 **great whooping intro, punk sound. This is actually “13” – the record is mislabeled, even in iTunes. 11. 1:38 I think the “rye” they’re coming through is in a bottle. Cheers, tip another glass! Alternates speed between trad and punk. 12. 1:22 **wow, great bass and pipes instrumental – too bad it’s so short! 13. 3:02 midtempo, very much the most trad. Midtempo, no drums. ‘Ere, hoist a pint to those Fenians! | ||
