In response to the 7Nations Roadkill reference, I feel that Roadkill was the album that signalled my growing dislike with their sound. I think once Anderson left the band got a much more commercial "pop" type of sound with a fiddle or pipes just thrown into the background. Also, at the last few shows I saw around that time it was like they all of the sudden decided that performing kilted was some kind of gimmick and they stopped wearing kilts. It's just as well anyway, because I found Clandestine around the same time along with other faves like The Rogues and ETH, so I don't so much miss 7Nations. They were really good during the time of their first three albums though. I even saw them back when they were still called Clan Na Gael, back before realized that was the name of an Irish extremist group after which they changed their name to 7Nations. The sad thing is for having a name like that, the longer they went on, the less their music resembled anything Celtic let alone paying homage to any of the 7 Nations of the ancient Celts. I know a lot of people still like them but they're just not my cuppa tea anymore.
