Instead it is the sound of riotous celebration, and it sums up exactly what it is that DKM do so well. God Willing’s refrain of “It’s the last time I’ll put my arms around you, the last time I’ll say goodbye” is far from the lament it sounds. This being the Dropkick Murphys, such dour subject matter doesn’t hamper proceedings. As the title suggests many of the subjects tackled on the album are not exactly party material so there’s plenty of death (God Willing) and a fair dose of whiskey war suicide and guns. With The Meanest of Times DKM have perfected their mix of Celtic folk and breakneck punk. Sticking to their guns and continuing down their particular path has resulted in what might well be their best album to date.
It’s rarely true in the music world as bands tend to hit their peak early on before churning out substandard material as their careers continue, inevitably destroying everything that the band once stood for.ĭropkick Murphys however have bucked this trend quite magnificently. Perseverance pays off, that’s what they say.
