6th studio album by Thin Lizzy who has really found its own sound of hard rock with this one. It's not the type exemplified by Deep Purple, AC/DC or Queen. Thin Lizzy's music still seems founded on more bold harmonies both heard in chorus lines and lead guitar notes. It's one of the band's best reviewed albums and it reached number #10 on the albums chart list in the UK. I don't think that I heard the album until the early 80s when I didn't like it much. To me the music and the band represented a different time, but it also appealed to another subculture.
Today, I consider this the band's best.
