| Yes, "Blackout" is my favorite, as well. Not a bad song on the disc. Although, I do not have the first studio album yet, though I hear its a rougher sound than the subsequent releases. Plus, they are totally from my hometown, which is cool for me. I just got around to buying "Warrior's Code" last week, which promptly had me kicking myself for not buying it when it first came out. On the plus side, as you point out, I only have a short wait now until their new disc drops in September. > The Dropkick Murphys have recently become one of my > favorite bands.
