Mar 28, 2013Everything on these two discs fits into the theme and flow.
-
UncutApr 25, 2013It's an impressive cast, matched by the energy and eccentricity of the contemporary and traditional songs alike. [Jun 2013, p.81]
-
Feb 19, 2013The songs here aren’t fussy recreations of the past. They provide new interpretations of old material.
-
MojoMar 7, 2013Producer Hal Willner has dug deep to improve on [the original Rogue's Gallery] and reckons he has a happier collection as a result. [Apr 2013, p.88]
-
Q MagazineMar 12, 2013As a 36-song sequel, the album drags at times. But there's buried treasure here too. [Apr 2013, p.112]
-
Mar 13, 2013Inevitably it’s also an adventure in need of an edit.
-
Feb 19, 2013Yes, there are duds among these 36 tracks. But they pass the time.
-

Entertainment WeeklyFeb 27, 2013The sheer volume of ocean-weary crooning on this Depp co-produced comp is bound to cause some seasickness, though Tom Waits bark about rum-fueled heartbreak and Patti Smith coo about mermaids should stave off scurvy. [1 Mar 2013, p.66]
-
Feb 22, 2013This follow-up to the original 2006 Rogue's Gallery sea-shanty compilation is slightly less salty but just as broad-ranging musically.
-
Feb 19, 2013It works better in theory than in practice.
-
Feb 21, 2013It's equal in heft to the first one, and just as uneven.
-
Jun 4, 2013Really, it just suffers from sequel syndrome, as there’s a fine single-disc collection buried within some over-blown, try-hard choices.
-
Feb 25, 2013All in all, it’s a refreshingly varied voyage.
-
Feb 19, 2013There are 36 performances, most of them evincing a spumey "aaaargh, Jim-lad" recreational vibe.
