5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive, hard-edged, unabashedly Irish white boy hip-hop, August 14, 1998

By A Customer

Trumpeting the joys of Philly Blunts and beating down your enemies, this album has some of the most catchy tracks of the past few years. The grooves are well-structured, with hooks that worm their way to the center of your head and make even the most whitebread fella want to bop around his living room. One of the most enjoyable touches is the way they combine Irish pride with self-mocking references to the more traditional stereotypes. These guys may not rap about the horrors of inner city ghetto life, drive-bys, or the omnipresent ho-smacking, but that's a good thing. Should be a required part of most people's musical arsenal. Plus, extra points for naming a band after a reference to Orwell.

4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome To The House Of Pain, March 16, 2005

By	Carltouis Stevenson (Angeles Mesa, Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The trio, Everlast, Danny Boy and DJ Leathal, steered away from the norm to give us a damn near classic. Before Eminmem came out white boys were not regarded as serious, besides this group of Irish fellas. Catchy hooks, phrases and simple rhymes did it for the frontman and emcee Everlast. There is a lot of drinking, partying and good lyrics without the shoot 'em up, bang, bang. What kept this from being a classic is some of the samples and solid production to back the fine malt lyrics. Considering this is a 1992 release, it doesn't collect dust in my collection. Top O' The Morning To Ya!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, March 14, 2005

By	Mike Fazool - See all my reviews

This is a classic Hip-Hop album. It made a name for House Of Pain. Everlast, Dannyboy and Lethal are at heir best on this classic. Muggs lays down the beats and Cypress Hill and Funkdoobiest spit lyrics on 2 songs. Everlast & Dannyboy flow throughout the album. Pete Rock Remix of Jump Around is solid as well. "The time has come, for everyone to clean out their own backyard, before they go knockin on their neighbor's door."
