Their first album to feature guitarist Dennis Casey, it reached number 157 on the Billboard charts. It has since been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The title track "Drunken Lullabies" was featured on the soundtrack of the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 as well as the Fat Wreck Chords compilation Rock Against Bush, Vol. 2.
Reception
AllMusic gave the album a positive review. The review called the title track a standout and noted its themes of "decrying the ills of modern society" as well as its "breakneck speed". It also referred to the song "Death Valley Queen" as a "dirge of Dylanesque proportions." The reviewer concluded that "After one listen, you'll probably wish you were Irish." In a four-star review, Punknews.org said that Flogging Molly "sounds authentic" and named "What's Left of the Flag", "Rebels of the Sacred Heart" and "The Rare Ould Times" as the standout tracks.
