The Gang's All Here is the second studio album by the American Celtic punk band the Dropkick Murphys. It is their first album with Al Barr (ex-vocalist for The Bruisers), who replaced founding singer Mike McColgan in 1998. "10 Years of Service" was the album's only single; the music video received some minor airplay on MTV's 120 Minutes, a first for the band.

The album peaked at No. 184 on the Billboard 200.

## Production

The album was produced by Lars Frederiksen.

## Critical reception

CMJ New Music Report wrote that "Barr's gravelly voice complements '77-style punk riffs that fly by faster than a speeding bullet." Rolling Stone thought that "the four band members pummel through their anthems like punked-out Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots."

AllMusic wrote that while the album "[took] up the expected us-against-the-world pose," its songwriting was of a higher standard than contemporary punk albums.
