Allmusic 3/5 stars

Do or Die is the first album released by Boston's Irish-American punk band, Dropkick Murphys. It was released in 1998. A music video for the single "Barroom Hero" was released. This is the only album that featured original lead vocalist, Mike McColgan who went on to become a fireman before forming his own band, the Street Dogs.

Allmusic gave Do or Die a rating of three stars out of five, and said that the album was "an interesting blend of hardcore-style punk with traditional Irish inflections."

A Do or Die poster appears on the wall of John Connor's bedroom in the pilot episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. "Barroom Hero" was used in the final credits of the documentary "Restrepo." "Never Alone" was featured in the Extreme sports video game Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX.

Many songs were a collaborative effort.
