DROPKICK MURPHYS Going Out In Style (2011 UK 13-track CD album - From the meanest of times to the best of times, Dropkick Murphys, returning with their 7th studio album, want to lift your spirits during these tough times with the party to end all parties blasting from your speakers. The Murphys know how to turn a wake in to a party. On 'Going Out In Style', Dropkick Murphys throw a 45 minute, 49 second party to end all parties, all the while reveling in the Irish tradition of telling tales of triumph, tragedy and celebration through music. The band revives the art of the album as a cohesive whole on this raucous and rollicking romp overflowing with punk rock energy, folk soul, and rebellious spirit. 'Hang 'Em High' ignites the album with a gang chant into a unforgettable bagpipe laden riff, driving guitars and big drums. Nodding to AC/DC while infusing flourishes of Celtic soul, 'Hang 'Em High' is the ultimate battle cry. Then there's 'Take 'Em Down', which continues to display the band's social consciousness and their unwavering support for organized labor. On songs such as 'Broken Hymns' and 'Cruel' the band explores new territory, incorporating a myriad of sounds and textures with arena-ready drum beats, diverse instrumentation and epic refrains)
