Average Rating:
 Rating: - The BestWhat a shame that this band is primarily thought of a one hit wonder in the US, known only for "The Boys are Back in Town". Out of the many truly great albums of their career (Chinatown, Bad Reputation, and one of the top five live records of all time, Live and Dangerous)this one stands out. Do Anything...and Got to Give it Up alone are worth the price of admission, but theres so much more...Check it out!!! Rating: - The one with Gary MoorePersonally, this one and "Thunder and Lightning" rank at the top of my Thin Lizzy hit parade. All the Lizzy elements are present and accounted for on each release, Phil's clever lyrics, Brian Downey's solid drumwork and the guatar-harmony interplay, but in my book "Thunder and Lightning" is up there for the presence of John Sykes, and "Black Rose" for Gary Moore. On this one, there just seems to be a stepped up intensity, a viciousness to the guitar solos I don't find on the Snowy White or Brian Robertson releases-- though to be fair I'm also a huge fan of Gary Moore's solo work. OK, for one criticism, "My Sarah" is a sweet little tune but just seems the oddball stacked beside "Waiting for an Alibi" and "Toughest Street in Town". ...

The twin guitar attack in full force, with an undeniable sense of groove and some funky riffing, this is really a gem to reserved for true Lizzy fans. The opening two tracks are both very strong, as is what may be my favorite Lizzy track, "Got to Give it Up." "Roisin Dubh" closes the album with that Irish folk sound that Lizzy mixes so well with their rock n' roll sound. If you want to hear some Lizzy beyond Jailbreak, this is a good place to start! Rating: - My Favorite Thin Lizzy albumI overlooked this album when it was first released. A major mistake. It's a true classic with great guitar. It's not an overblown album It never gets the attention of Jailbreak. Another major mistake by most rock fans. a few years later it was in my walkman and keeping me sane at USAF tech school. (early 80s) Now I have it on CD and it keeps me sane at the Pentagon. Phil Lynott left this earth too soon. Rating: - Great overlooked albumMy friends told me that Gary Moore was an incredible guitar player. I listened to his "power blues" solo stuff and I thought he was absolutely horrible. I thought his guitar wanking was a disgrace to the blues. I told them I would like to hear him in a different environment. Something more my speed, with old production values and more of a rock and roll type song format. They directed me straight to this album. This album is incredible. Everything from the doubled up guitars to Phil Lynotts uplifting vocals. This is some of, if not the best rock and roll of the late 70s. If you'd like to hear where bands like "The Darkness" steal their material, this is a good place to start. |
