│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The singles preceding this set the foundation ║ │
│║ for this album, and in turn this album set the ║ │
│║ foundation for future albums and for Phil Lynott ║ │
│║ to shine musically, lyrically, and as a ║ │
│║ frontman. The variety on here dunks the variety ║ │
│║ from the last album, and each member shows ║ │
│║ progression in skill with their instruments. It ║ │
│║ really feels like different members playing this ║ │
│║ time, and the slightly lopsided mixing of the ║ │
│║ last full-length meets the cleansed warmth of ║ │
│║ Vagabondsà. It didnÆt solve the bandÆs identity ║ │
│║ crisis, but still made it out on top. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Off the bat Bell hits us with a harmonic lead ║ │
│║ tune, bending the strings and warping the melody ║ │
│║ alongside LynottÆs low, grainy singing. The ║ │
│║ track isnÆt hard hitting, but it can be heavy ║ │
│║ when compared to past full-lengths; Downey hits ║ │
│║ the kit louder than before, and nothing on it is ║ │
│║ hollow or frail, either. The following track, ║ │
│║ ôThe Hero And The Madman,ö is one out of left ║ │
│║ field: Bell continually warping the melody, the ║ │
│║ atmosphere becoming arid, Lynott singing a story ║ │
│║ / doing some really dramatic spoken word, and ║ │
│║ Downey hammering away like a true jazz club ║ │
│║ drummer. Oh yeah, this album has blues, jazz, ║ │
│║ and funk, with hard rock primarily in ôThe ║ │
│║ Rockerö û the tune that broke Eric Bell out of ║ │
│║ his shell completely. Bell literally plays as if ║ │
│║ he was future Lizzy guitarists Gorham or Moore; ║ │
│║ just pure aggressiveness and showmanship in ║ │
│║ speed and character. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Otherwise, the album is still a warm, soft- ║ │
│║ hearted affair that doesnÆt intend to hurt ║ │
│║ anyone or anything. Unlike Shades Of A Blue ║ │
│║ Orphanage however, Vagabondsà plants itself in ║ │
│║ the guitar and in LynottÆs enhanced influence on ║ │
│║ the mic. Lynott is a man that challenges himself ║ │
│║ with a strong lead, and Bell accomplishes that ║ │
│║ in numbers with frilling riffs like on the ║ │
│║ aforementioned ôThe Rockerö or bass-heavy ║ │
│║ monsters like ôGonna Creep Up On Youö. ThatÆs ║ │
│║ where the creativity comes from for Lynott, and ║ │
│║ itÆs with these songs that we see all three ║ │
│║ members show their capabilities in skill and ║ │
│║ cohesiveness. Since this formula is more ║ │
│║ apparent on this album, consistency is improved ║ │
│║ and the memorability factor goes up, as well as ║ │
│║ the enjoyment all around. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Fans that want balmy, slick hard rock would do ║ │
│║ well giving this one a try. ItÆs a great album ║ │
│║ to hear for those wanting a lighter Lizzy or one ║ │
│║ that has less straightforwardness. Vagabondsà is ║ │
│║ a jam album by a bunch of guys during an era of ║ │
│║ discovery, and for the original pressing this ║ │
│║ clocks in at around forty minutes. Other ║ │
│║ pressings include plenty of material from the ║ │
│║ singles surrounding this release, and IÆd ║ │
│║ recommend getting whatever version includes ║ │
│║ those since theyÆre very good: ôWhisky In The ║ │
│║ Jarö, ôRandolphÆs Tangoö, ôBroken Dreamsö and ║ │
│║ whatever else IÆm missing - theyÆre all worthy ║ │
│║ of your time. ║ │
