Kicking off with a rousing, shouted-in-unison “fuck you!”- self-conscious statement of intent if ever there was one- The Airing Of Grievances is just the album to give your sister”¦ if she’s a loud, dirty, boozy sort of girl. It both sounds and feels like those Irish bars they have in America, at least on TV, and at least in the scenes where its all raucous and “fun”. It’s a complete mess, but it’s a mess hollered with enough propulsive force to stay together until impact. Didn’t this come out about a year ago though? Different release dates on different sides of the Atlantic really, really do not mean anything at all. Oh well.”¦and, um. Its an alright album, boozy and literate, if you like The Hold Steady, The Pogues, that sort of thing, only a bit more noisy and exuberant maybe, I think you should give Titus Andronicus a listen. That is all I have to say on the matter.Good day. 74%Titus Andronicus on MySpace
