I recall being a little disappointed when I first heard this record. As Wikipedia notes, "Peace and Love continued the band's gradual departure from traditional Irish music." [source] That's the truth. This is arguably also true:
Shane MacGowan's potent appetite for alcohol was evident from the time the Pogues cut their first album, but by the time they got to work on Peace and Love in 1989, it was evident that he'd gone far past the point of enjoying a few pints (or many pints) and had sunk deep into drug and alcohol dependence. [source]
It's not bad, but I think I like the following record better.
