My favourite Thin Lizzy album. Which puts me in a minority, for sure, but I shouldn't have to defend my assertion that this is hookier than Jailbreak (even if it doesn't reach that one's highest heights), more consistent than Johnny the Fox, and retains the sleazy feel that's more or less buffed away from the overly polished Bad Reputation. This is their most underrated album by far. All the elements of the sound for which they're best known (twin guitar attack, tense aggression, funky basslines, soulful melodicism and lyricism, etc., pick your cliché) are here in the freshest form; none of the cold metal posturing has crept in; and just about every song has an excitement that's infectious and totally addictive, especially "Rosalie," which is rock 'n' roll manna. –Will
