I think someone mentioned that they were looking for this a few years ago. Didn't have it then, but for better or worse, voila. The Folk Devils were a cantankerous lot, part ornery cowpunk, part dissonant and unwieldy distorto-rawk. Mouthpiece Ian Lowery commandeers his quartet's collective mess coming off as a loose approximation of Stan Ridgeway and John Lydon, albeit at times not sounding like either in the least. To his credit, he pulls off the spoke/sung card adeptly, so long as the song is worth a damn. That quotient is about half and half on Goodnight Irony, not so much a proper LP, rather a comp of the Devil's entire repertoire up to 1987... adorned with a pretty spiffy album jacket I might add. Your best bets here are the tense, driving bookends, "Hank Turns Blue" and "Chewing the Flesh." "Art Ghetto," and the spaghetti western sway of "Where the Buffalo Roam" are kinda of a hoot as well. Furthermore, if you dug those first couple of Didjits albums, ...Irony is sure to pack plenty of appeal.01. Hank Turns Blue
02. English Disease
03. Where the Buffalo Roam
04. Beautiful Monster
05. Wail
06. Nice People
07. Albino
08. Brian Jones' Bastard Son
09. It Drags On
10. Evil Eye
11. Art Ghetto
12. Chewing the Flesh
It looks like this one has been revamped and reissued. Check it out here.
