I just think my mind can't handle enjoying the same song two different ways - one has to be better. I have noticed that of the acoustic songs I hear, the majority that I enjoy are alternate versions of songs I don't much care for when recorded in the studio. The only other song I like off this release is the acoustic version of "The Wanderlust," but I feel that is because I am not a fan of the studio version. The one stand-out is "Laura," I love this new version and after I hear it I end up singing the chorus to myself for the rest of the day (I am humming it right now as I write this). I feel that this is the weakest of their albums, not being a fan of acoustic or live. It's a half-and-half acoustic and live album, with only one studio track, a re-recording of "Laura" from their first album, the live Alive Behind The Green Door (remember I talked about that one?). Whiskey On A Sunday is a CD/DVD combo, to give alternate versions of their most popular songs. "Don't Let Me Die Still Wondering" – 4:17Ģ006 - Whiskey On A Sunday (Acoustic/Live Album)."With a Wonder and a Wild Desire" – 3:40."To Youth (My Sweet Roisin Dubh)" – 3:17.
I'd suggest starting your Flogging Molly career on this album. This still is my favorite Flogging Molly album, even after hearing the rest of their works. That's it, out of fifteen songs, I really enjoy twelve of them. It would alot easier to name the songs I like less then the rest "Queen Anne's Revenge" isn't too bad but it is uncharacteristically darker then the rest of the album, "The Wanderlust" annoys me for some reason, but after listening to their acoustic album, Whiskey On A Sunday, I enjoy the acoustic version much more, the last song I don't like is "The Spoken Wheel," it just doesn't seem like much of a song to me, more of a poem someone wrote that they decided to add a tune too.
My favorite tracks still fall within the first half, but are now well encompassed within the entire album as well. Fortunately it's been five years at this point, so I have heard every track numerous times. The first eight songs matched up so well with the length of class that, by the end of the year, I knew all the words to tracks one through eight, and almost nothing of everything past nine. That semester alone I must have listened to the album a dozen times, most times in art class, and almost never getting past the ninth track. A friend of mine in my art class had it in her CD player, I proceeded to borrow it every day for a week, before she burnt me my own copy.
Within A Mile of Home was the first Flogging Molly album that I heard. After a long (forced) break, I am back with the thrilling conclusion to the Flogging Molly story.
