Not sure if it is their best release but definitely among them and "Ride On" is my favorite track (despite it being a cover).
It somehow manages to be energetic and dancey and at the same time to have some tragic flavor and tones of sadness.
Simple but catchy melodies, I like folk instruments and arrangements; and the whole focus is mostly on them - guitars play only supporting role.
Vocals are also pretty good, touching and emotional. Some other tracks to highlight: "Bloody Sunday" and "Death of a Gael".
I discovered it a long time ago and still enjoy it.
