If Rum Sodomy & the Lash captured the Pogues on plastic in all their
rough-and-tumble glory, If I Should Fall from Grace with God proved they could
learn the rudiments of proper record making and still come up with an album that
captured all the sharp edges of their musical personality. Producer Steve
Lillywhite imposed a more disciplined approach in the studio than Elvis Costello
had, but he had the good sense not to squeeze the life out of the band in the
process; as a result, the Pogues sound tighter and more precise than ever, while
still summoning up the glorious howling fury that made Rum Sodomy & the Lash so
powerful. And Shane MacGowan continued to grow as a songwriter, as his lyrics
and melodies captured with brilliant detail his obsession with the finer points
of Anglo-Irish culture. Fairytale of New York, a glorious sweet-and-sour duet
with Kirsty MacColl, and The Broad Majestic Shannon were subtle in a way many of
his previous work was not, Birmingham Six found him addressing political issues
for the first time (and with all the expected venom), and Fiesta and Turkish
Song of the Damned found him adding (respectively) faux-Spanish and Middle
Eastern flavors into the Pogues heady mix. And if you want to hear the Pogues
blaze through some fast ones, Bottle of Smoke and the title song find them doing
just what theyve always done best. Brilliantly mixing passion, street smarts,
and musical ambition, If I Should Fall from Grace with God is the best album the
Pogues would ever make.
