- Indeed a brilliant rock album/band
Thin Lizzy has always been big because they are one of the most famous rock bands and the fact that they are Irish and that type of hype never appeals to me it's happend to bands like U2 & Snow Patrol, and they arn't as good as everyone says they are. But Thin Lizzy are a great irish rock n roll band. Made famour by their songs The Boys are back in town & Whiskey In The Jar, they are more then just those 2 awesome songs. This album for example, all the songs are excellent and some brilliant rock n roll riffs.With classics likes Jailbreak, Angel From The Coast & of course The Boys Are Back In Town. This is a brilliant way to start with Thin Lizzy if you're curious about the band, you will already know The Boys are Back In Town so you won't be dissapointed with it. Yes Thin Lizzy are an awesome rock band, if you love you're rock then this is a must buy.
Rating: - The classic album from a classic rock band!
Lizzy are my favourite band so I own pretty much everything they ever released. I always find it hard to nail one of their albums down as the best released as the choice changes daily. Ultimately most fans would argue this is it. The albums that preceeded Jailbreak improved with each output but as with many releases all had their weaker moments up to Jailbreak. This album is certainly the moment the bands star rose into view even providing them with some minor chart success.
Phil and the band were touring endlessly and honing their craft and this album was the fruit of that. Lynotts songwriting provides us with wonderful moments throughout and the band are rock solid musically too. This album was probably Lynotts creative peak lyrically although he still had his moments in later albums. So many facets of his personality can be found in these songs and his imagination was yet to be muddied by the rock n roll lifestyle that later took hold of him. His fascination with Irish history (emerald) and American history (Cowboy Song & Massacre) were both well represented here.
If you plan to explore Thin Lizzys journey through rock history this is arguably the best place to start - although I started with Live and Dangerous which is the greatest live rock album ever recorded bar none!
Go get em!

- not half bad !
The general Consensus appears to be that this is a masterpiece,i can not go along with that notion,this is a sturdy piece of work but is let down with some drab enough sounding tracks,just two perhaps but they mean that for my opinions worth,this is good without being vital.
Released in 1976,and with the band a four piece,they would essentially perform as three piece in 1977,this album contains two tracks of notable distinction,firstly the title track with his snappy riff and the classic song 'the boys are back in town' a track synonymous with the group.
The album also contains some very confident and assured tracks such as 'warriors' and the mild but brilliant 'running back'.'Ange from the coast' and 'the cowboy song' seem filler in comparison to the albums flow and strengths and they ruin what could have been a very fine album,this isnt as good as 'bad reputation' no matter how you spin it but is still a good piece of work and some 31 years old to boot hey.
Rating: - Breakthrough
This is one of the last Lizzy albums I've heard. I'd agree it's the best studio album, yet it isn't the one I play the most. I prefer to listen to 'Fighting' and 'Black Rose.' A strange comment, I know, but I find the earlier album a bit warmer and the later one more polished. 'Jailbreak' has the best songs though. The title track kicks off with those crunching, growling chords that also set the live album off. 'Warriors' and 'Emerald' carry the same weight and 'Cowboy Song' provides the warmth. 'The Boys Are Back In Town' is, of course, the album's crowning glory and the band's signature tune. There are mellower moments among the other tracks, but 'Jailbreak' is strong throughout.
Rating: - Creme de la creme
Largely regarded as Lizzy's finest hour in the studio. However, you could pick any album from Nightlife, Fighting, Jailbreak, Johnny The Fox, Bad reputation and Black Rose and find 9 or ten songs that are simply classics. Phil Lynott was the best and most versatile rock songwriter ever. This album was produced with an almost live and very exciting feel with screaming lead guitars that exude musicianship - unlike many rock guitarist who simply try and play as fast as possible. Lynott and Brian Downey (rocks finest drummer), anchor everything with a solid but flamboyant rythym section. Phil was often seen to be the weakest link musicianship wise, but his timing and ability to 'swing' was more akin to a funk/soul type bassist and second to none.
A little known fact is that the bands major hit (The boys are back in town) was almost excluded from this album as not being good enough.
If you like good songs, then buy this album. If you are a music lover, buy all the albums mentioned above, and you will hear rock, funk, pop and soul played by four of the worlds finest musicians, and the best rock band ever.
