The Pogues - Hells ditch album cover | |||||||||||||||
Hell's Ditch is the fifth full-length album by The Pogues, and the last to feature front man Shane MacGowan as a member. Released in 1990, the album continued the group's slow departure from Irish music, giving more emphasis to rock and straight folk rock, and forsaking their earlier staples of traditional compositions almost entirely. MacGowan parted with the band after the release of the album, partly due to problems with his abuse of alcohol and other drugs, which had for years been leading to deterioration of his abilities as a performer and his reliability in general. The problems are evident on the album itself, as MacGowan slurs his way through most of the tracks with little of the energy and enthusiasm that was so apparent on the earlier albums.
