Esta edição do “The Meanest of Times” foi relançada especialmente para a celebração do St. Patrick’s Day e a tour de 2008. Neste sexto album de estúdio, os DKM novamente apresentam todos os elementos que tornaram a banda um enorme sucesso: letras sinceras, refrões melódicos e uma perfeita mistura de punk rock, Oi!, hardcore, Irish folk e rock’n’roll seguidos por bandolim, acordeão, banjo, flauta irlandesa e gaita de fole entre os demais instrumentos. Esta edição limitada vem com faixas bonus e um DVD extra. Contém livreto com as letras e capa em formato digipack com um ótimo acabamento (com impressão da arte em processo “hot stamp”). Edição de primeira!
p.s.: Eu ainda estou tentando entender como as pessoas conseguem se satisfazer fazendo download de um disco como este…

(F)LANNIGAN'S BALL
(Traditional, arrangement and new lyrics by Dropkick Murphys)
In the town of Milton one Brian Flannigan
Battered away till his money was spent
Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again,
Bought a three decker with two floors for rent
He threw a big party for friends and relations
At a grand old place called Florian Hall
And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten
To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball
CHORUS:
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies
Ziti and sauce for Mark Porzio
There were Faheys and Bradys, Mcauliffes and Daleys
Courtin the girls and dancing away
Brian Tully sang out in his finest form
The patron's responded and I lead 'em all
I'd spent 6 months at Forbes Academy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[CHORUS]
The boys were hammered the girls were hearty
Dancing around in couples and groups
An accident happened you Dennis Flemming
Put his right leg through Miss Finneran's hoops
This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder
Called for her sons and gathered them all
Christopher swore he'd go no further
Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball
[Chorus]
In the midst of the melee Miss Collins fainted
Her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
Some of the boys declared she was plastered
Had a small drop to much I suppose
Young Scotty Jenkins so big and able
Saw his fair Colleen stretched by the wall
Tore the left leg from under the table
And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball
Boy oh boy now this was a rumble
Myself took a lick from mean Ricky Green
But I soon replied to that fine introduction
And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen
Talent the piper nearly got strangled
They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all
The girls in the middle nearly got trampled
And that put an end to Flannigan's ball.
