One word: rrrrraaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgh. Many words: retaliatory blitzkrieg against the American rawk might of 2000 (Queens of the Stone Age, At the Drive-In, etc.) while showing those jock whippersnappers a thing or two on how to bang about with all sorts of two-finger saluting discord. Yes, Raging Speedhorn is Corby, Northamptonshire's own Slipknot. Except with less backpedaling shock tactics and more crotch-scratching metal guff. Which is how it should be, really. The eviscerated "Mandan" ramps up in into an explosive finale of bleary barks and pants-wetting roars while one could make a tough trivia game out of finding a more obnoxious title than "Necrophiliac Glue Sniffer." There isn't even one soppy ballad to throw the thrash out of whack. So don't fret, good citizens of Britain -- feel safe. Your isles are secure from an American incursion with a defense this strong. But keep an eye on those skies: metal record of the end of the millennium is still from those parachuting Canadian mall-brats Kittie. Drat. ~ Dean Carlson, All Music Guide

Fairytale Of New York The Pogues Feat. Kirsty MacColl |
| Included in our selection of "Five Christmas records you can play without embarrassment", "Fairytale Of new York" is the perfect song for people who don't really like Christmas songs: despite lyrics that work as an antidote against the typical sugary feast of good intentions ("Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last"), this rude vocal fight between the booze-shaped voice of Shane McGowan and the late Kirsty McColl has become a season favourite. Based on the story of many Irish emigrants escaping from the potato famine to the US in hope to become entertainers but failing in their venture, it has been reissued regularly since its original release on The Pogues' 1987 album "If I should fall from grace with God" and has even inspired a documentary about how it was conceived. ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited.
