year 87 Album Genre British Folk: review: The rest of the album takes Celtic trad (fifes, accordions, bodhráns and all) into similarly uncharted stylistic waters, from the crazy cornball Orientalia of "Turkish Song of the Damned" and the effervescent pop of "The Broad Majestic Shannon" to the almost-out-of-control "Fiesta" (a sort of Spanish beer-hall raveup) and the bittersweet going-to-America anthem "Thousands Are Sailing." There are also straight trad snippets (most memorably the woozy "Worms"), a tumultuous big-band excursion ("Metropolis") and even a sod's lullaby (the gorgeous "Lullaby of London"). Obviously the Pogues can do it all. And it sounds as if they've only just begun.
