This review is from: Essential Pogues (Audio CD)

this collection pretty much runs the gamut of pogue hits, from whiskey, to lorelei, to summer in siam. it is a good collection for the beginner or not so rabid fan of the pogues (i fall into the latter category). yes it lacks the brilliant cohesiveness of rum sodomy and the and lash, or if i should fall from grace, and the songs have no particular order to speak of. you lose the energy of the earlier albums and spirit that was so preciously captured. however, this is a collection and as such falls prey to the same weaknesses they all do. the creative genius of the band is here though (in diluted fashion), and this makes it a worthy purchase in itself.
