** ''The Táin'' -- ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
** ''The Book Of Invasions'' -- Irish myth again.
** ''Drive The Cold Winter Away'' -- songs about winter and Christmas.
** ''Dancehall Sweethearts'' -- the album is loosely based around Turlough O'Carolan, although the theme isn't too obvious because the label thought an album about a 17th Century blind harper would be uncommercial.

* BadassBoast: Cú Chulainn gets multiple ones across multiple tracks on ''The Táin''. "Dearg Doom" is an IAmSong, while "Ferdia's song" is a sad tune as Cú Chulainn tries to convince his beloved foster brother Ferdia to back down from their fight by describing how everything he says is larger than life itself, and every step he takes is measured in centuries.


Added DiffLines:

* IAmSong: "Dearg Doom" is one for Cú Chulainn.
