Customer Reviews
Phil Lynott & John Sykes Magic
WARNING - this is a departure from the typical Thin Lizzy sound. It's a more heavy metal/hard rock collection. I have to admit - there is some really good guitar playing on this album, compliments of John Sykes. John Sykes is best known for his work with Whitesnake and Blue Murder. He added his signature sound to each band and does the same with this - his only Lynott Thin Lizzy album. His style had a big impact on Thin Lizzy's sound - that's where the warning comes into play. If you're a fan of the "Jailbreak," "Johnny the Fox" and "Bad Reputation" era albums, you may be disappointed by the heavier direction the band took on this album. John Sykes is a personal favorite of mine, so I REALLY like it. Too bad this was Thin Lizzy's last album.
Misleading
I recently purchased this album from this very website and was dissapointed to find that when i recieved it there is actually only 9 songs on the album contrary to the 11 that are listed above there isnt a "thunder and lightning 2" and tracks 6 and 7 are actually the same song there are not two seperate songs called "someday" and "she is gonna hit back" it is one song called "someday she is gonna hit back". Apart from this problem the album is actually very very good some excellent songs especially cold sweat. A must have for any lizzy fan.
God damn its so exciting! It hits you like a hammer.
Its hard to believe this album came out in 1983 - its ageless. I bought on the back of the 2 hits: Thunder & Lightning and Cold Sweat, two of the best songs in Thin Lizzy's canon - had Phil lived they would be live staples to this day.
This is Lizzy at their heaviest and at their song writing peak - the Sun goes down is a classic, but all are memorable Holy War, This is the one and Bad habits all could have been hits. The album is rounded off with 4 live classics: Emerald is my favourite, then Killer, Boys and Hollywood.
