7th studio album by Thin Lizzy released only seven months after Jailbreak. Despite having the same producer as the band's most recent success the album doesn't have the same strict and simple sound. Instead, the album has a much more symphonic sound. It's also known as the first album where tensions between Lynott and Robertson didn't help in the recording process.
