│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If there was ever one album that truly ║ │
│║ epitomizes cool, calm, and stylish all at the ║ │
│║ same time, it would be Thin LizzyÆs Nightlife. ║ │
│║ This album is basically the final album of the ║ │
│║ old Lizzy era, before they unleashed their twin ║ │
│║ guitar attacks. This album was made to boogey, ║ │
│║ and that is just what it is going to do. ║ │
│║ Showdown, and ItÆs Only Money are very funk ║ │
│║ influenced tracks. These tracks are mostly what ║ │
│║ I was referring to in the opening sentence of ║ │
│║ this review. There are plenty of tasty leads and ║ │
│║ solos, despite the lack of another guitarist ║ │
│║ going note for note in another octave. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album can kick out some rockinÆ acoustic ║ │
│║ stuff too. Hard rock with acoustic guitar thrown ║ │
│║ in is great, no? Yeah it is, fuck you. The ║ │
│║ performer of the song She Knows is Phil Lynott, ║ │
│║ of course (But when isnÆt he? There are some ║ │
│║ occurrences IÆll get to later in the review). ║ │
│║ Here he belts out one of his most passionate ║ │
│║ vocal performances from any album. Nightlife is ║ │
│║ essentially a sequel to She Knows, as it ║ │
│║ contains the same acoustic driven force, and it ║ │
│║ features some more of PhilÆs most passionate ║ │
│║ vocals. Unfortunately, they picked it as a ║ │
│║ pretty calm tune to end the album. Oh well, itÆs ║ │
│║ classic Lizzy. If thereÆs one thing you can ║ │
│║ truly count on from the early Thin Lizzy albums, ║ │
│║ itÆs that theyÆll still have the same driving ║ │
│║ force that is Phil Lynott. This manÆs heart is ║ │
│║ in his goddamn vocal chords, I swear. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The riffing on this album seems more loose and ║ │
│║ more unrestrained than on later albums. The ║ │
│║ entire thing really is more laid back than what ║ │
│║ Lizzy would do later. ItÆs Only Money throws in ║ │
│║ a lot of progressive drum beats underneath ║ │
│║ PhilÆs almost rapping of the verse. No, itÆs not ║ │
│║ really rapping. ItÆs like rapid catchy singing. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Songs like Philomena sort of bring out the best ║ │
│║ in Phil. ItÆs a song named after his mom, and ║ │
│║ his Irish accent is heavy as shit on this one. I ║ │
│║ donÆt know if it was done on purpose, but it ║ │
│║ adds a special flair to the song. You can tell ║ │
│║ PhilÆs heart is firing on all gears during this ║ │
│║ song. It also features a little bit of twin ║ │
│║ guitar action, but with a single guitar and the ║ │
│║ bass following suit. Pretty cool, really. There ║ │
│║ are a couple songs that simply donÆt deliver in ║ │
│║ balls, and IÆll have to take some points away ║ │
│║ for that. Still In Love With You is a classic ║ │
│║ song. ItÆs great live. It features Gary Moore ║ │
│║ sharing vocal duties, and he is at times better ║ │
│║ than Phil. TheyÆre both phenomenal singers, any ║ │
│║ way you cut it. It wasnÆt made for a studio ║ │
│║ environment, unfortunately. Dear Heart is a ║ │
│║ heartfelt piano driven ballad, but itÆs kind of ║ │
│║ lame. Banshee is a slow twin guitar tune. It ║ │
│║ actually sounds like the predecessor to their ║ │
│║ amazing Cowboy Song. It has a very ║ │
│║ western/cowboy type feel to it. Makes me want to ║ │
│║ go eat some nachos and bang some senioritas, ║ │
│║ que? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Holy shit is all I can say about Sha-La-La. ║ │
│║ Despite the title, this song is in no way, ║ │
│║ shape, or form pussy. This song is really funky. ║ │
│║ Like really fucking funky. It also features twin ║ │
│║ guitar leads! The drumming is total speed metal! ║ │
│║ This song is simply a sign of things to come. ║ │
│║ This is the type of stuff the band would put out ║ │
│║ later into the mid to late 70s, and this early ║ │
│║ prototype is just as good as any other Thin ║ │
│║ Lizzy song you could pick. Oh, and remember when ║ │
│║ I said Phil wasnÆt the top performer on all ║ │
│║ songs? Yeah, here that goes to Brian Downey. ║ │
│║ About 2 and a half minutes in, he breaks into ║ │
│║ this great drum solo. The only sucky thing is, ║ │
│║ the drum solo is a lot better (and longer) on ║ │
│║ Live and Dangerous. After switching back to some ║ │
│║ guitar leads for a second, the song fades out on ║ │
│║ another kickass drum solo. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album contains shades of what would become ║ │
│║ Thin Lizzy. All of the elements are in the ║ │
│║ cooking pot, and Phil just had yet to stir them ║ │
│║ until they were completely mixed. HeÆll get that ║ │
│║ done on the next albumà.and the 8 that follow! ║ │
