THIN LIZZY — Jailbreak (review)

4/5 ·
Warthur
Emerging just as punk was beginning to break through and hard rock and metal audiences were out for something louder and faster, Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak finds them capably adapting the early 1970s bluesy style of hard rock they'd made their own to changing times. The Boys Are Back In Town is, deservedly, the standout song from this, in part because it's the fastest and hardest song on the set; still, the rest of the album isn't outright bad, it just doesn't quite hit the sheer standards of joy as that track, though the title track does come close at points. A little calculated and polished, maybe, but still a hell of a lot of fun.

Yes the best was still to come. The NeXT four + the live album are great, great releases.
