What Men Deserve to Lose
Encyclopedia
What Men Deserve To Lose is the fifth album by Scottish Celtic fusion
group Peatbog Faeries
, recorded in Roag on the Isle of Skye, and was released on 16 July 2007, though the album had been sold at festivals, and from the band's website, since 22 June.
Simon Jones of fRoots gave a positive review on the album, saying in his review "There can be no one direct approach taken to describe the constantly evolving music of the Peatbog Faeries, its very nature is polyglot and that disparate collection of philosophies makes them the perfect band for 2007. In a time when we have to move beyond silly categories and vague labels, which by very definition can no longer apply – unless you’re stuck in a time warp – fusion is the only term that makes real sense. If anything, What Men Deserve to Lose ( a quote from writer Derek Cooper) moves out further into the big, blue beyond, still latching on to island roots yet in a mood of glorious experiment".
