Reviews (page 9 of 12)
I thought the album was by a female rock star named Lizzy. It was not. Still pretty good, but likely will not revisit
Phil Lynott was a legend
FYI The Spotify album only has 4 tracks. Amazon Music does have the entire album. I’ve heard the big singles (Jailbreak and boys Are Back in Town) before. They were decent enough songs. I prefer the live version of Jailbreak to the radio edit; it just has a heavier sound. Boys, on the other hand, is better in the radio edit. The backup vocals in the live version are not good. Still in Love with You is gorgeous and the guitar solo really makes this track stand out. It is a beautiful ballad about lost love. The rest of the tracks were enjoyable and great classic rock. There are really talented musicians here and it shows in the riffs and solos. The only place where being alive album really hurt it was the end of Baby Drives Me Crazy. Overall decent album, I give it a 3.
I'm a little shocked this album is on this list. Live albums with lots of overdubs are cheating in my book. And the whole thing isn't available on Spotify, so that's strike 2. The musicianship on this album is incredible, overdubs or not. Really great playing all around but particularly drums. Brian Downey was incredible and underrated as a drummer. But here's the thing - as great as the playing is, I still just don't really like Thin Lizzy. I don't know what it is. I hate The Boys Are Back In Town, always have, but other than that I don't have any strong feelings about any of their music one way or the other. I'm not wowed by it, but I'm not put off by it. If Thin Lizzy ever comes up randomly, I'll probably turn it off to find something better. It's beige. For this album, 3/5 I guess?
It's not truly live so I'll knock it down a point but it's still fun, though somewhat basic, rock. 3/5
5.5/10
S'okay.
Most of the tracks weren't available on YT music for me to listen to. 😩
Love Thin Lizzy. Great live album.
For "the best live album of all time" this was just fine. For most songs, I just don't feel much difference between the studio version and this version. The crowd doesn't add a ton to the music until the last few songs. I just don't really resonate with this era of rock. Best Songs: Jailbreak, Still in Love with You Worst Songs: Johnny the Fox...,
Fun to listen to for the boomer rock throw backs, but I couldnt find much of it worth the hype of being on this list. Compared to Frampton comes alive, this album doesnt even come close, in my opinion. My favorite non obvious cut was Suicide. Didnt know Huey Lewis and Bob segar bith featured on this. Its also such a 70s/80s thing to do a live album and then go put overdubs on it 😂 the dead did this too
Two stars just for THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN. 1 star for the rest. This sounds like it was a fun concert to be at, but the music doesn't rock my socks off for the most part (weird that the Spotify version they link here is only 4 songs when the full version is way longer. Feels like they didn't get a fair shake on this). Execution is super sharp (guitar and drums are so tight it's awesome to behold) but the songwriting isn't my favorite from this era. And the vocals on THE BOYS is a little disappointing – lead vocalist is flat on a lot of the fun high notes. Can't give em less than 3 for a classic though.
Great music, great performances you could really feel the energy of the shows. Not really a fan of live recordings but this was good.
This dragged for me by the end.
I want to give this a try as a non live album. Pretty catchy classic rock. I wouldn't skip it on the radio.
Nothing wrong with this. Good renditions of the songs and Phil Lynott has a great singing voice. Did it need to be made though? I struggle to understand the purpose of live albums, should one treat it like a greatest hits compilation? Or are they of interest because the artist does something new vs. the recordings, like new elements in the arrangement? Like Nirvana Unplugged, which is great. If it's the latter, I don't know Thin Lizzy well enough to tell whether this added anything. Wiki says it was made because the producer didn't have time for a studio album, so I'm not sure why this is that important. Like I say it's not bad but not worth more than 3
Całkiem fajne. Nie jestem fanem lajwów. 3/5
3 stars. a good live album it seems but not my thing.
Safe and inoffensive dad rock. The album being live doesn't really add anything to the overall feel or energy. I know parts of it were overdubbed and I wonder how much of that affected the feel (by making it feel less live...). The double album aspect also makes it feel too long, I would have appreciated it more I think if it were a tight 45 minutes instead of 75 (though I think the Spotify version has a coupleof extra tracks if the Wiki is right). I haven't really listened to Thin Lizzy before this and I probably won't listen to them much after this either. I feel like you could replace them with pretty much any 70s rock band and it would sound the exact same. The instrumentals are skillfully executed though, and there was nothing on it that made me actively dislike them.
Fun rock concert album but all the songs kind of sound the same.
Well, let’s rock! I began thinking that a trip to a TL gig would be a complete rock-out, but after a while I came to thinking it would be more of a nod along and a foot tapper, given that all the songs sound fairly similar. The crowd seem to be into it though, and there’s no doubt they do rock. You probably had to be there.
A live version of their greatest hits is kind of cheating isn’t it? They should have just put Jailbreak on the list. Also I like the comic book art on that one. And I like it when bands are really blatant about the fact that it is 13-18 year old boys who buy their records and so that is clearly who they are catering to. It’s always crazy to me that people describe Thin Lizzy as hard rock. I know the band isn’t hard rock because I kind of like them. Plus I have ears. Thin Lizzy is like Boston if Boston was 10% less poppy. Thin Lizzy is pretty good but has never been one of my favorites. Hearing this live album did not change that.
I’m generally indifferent to live albums. To truly enjoy one, you need to be a big fan of the artist, or at least recognize a good number of tracks. Even with concerts I’ve attended, I often find that these recordings fail to capture the electricity of the live setting or those unexpected moments that make a performance memorable. I’ll admit that I’m not a huge Thin Lizzy connoisseur, so I already fail my own test for enjoying this kind of album. However, I did see the band in Hammersmith several years ago—though, bizarrely, none of the original members were part of the lineup. What stood out most from that show was how the big hits translated effortlessly across decades, with both old-school fans and relative newcomers (like me) screaming along at the top of our lungs. Some of the deeper cuts were harder to connect with, especially without the context longtime fans bring. The same applies to Live and Dangerous. When the highs hit, they really hit—tracks like The Boys Are Back in Town and Jailbreak still pack a serious punch. But other parts of the album passed me by, lacking the same impact. Still, when those highs come along, the rush is undeniable. The ongoing debate, fueled by producer Tony Visconti, over whether the album consists of 75% overdubs or "just" 25% adds some intrigue, but at least guarantees the mixes are consistently strong. I suspect Live and Dangerous is included in 1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die more for its historical importance than for the recording itself. And if I’m being honest, I don’t see myself sitting down and thinking, “Ah, let me put on that live Thin Lizzy record.” Yet, I’m glad to have been exposed to it and appreciate its place in rock history, offering a new perspective on a legendary band.
3/5
Thin Lizzy is one of those bands that was better live than in the studio. There is a lot of energy in their performance and their music translates really well into a live performance. I know that a lot people talk about the overdubs, but every live album is cleaned up as much as possible regardless of the band: that's a fact. How you feel about a live album depends largely about how you feel about the band in general. I'm a 2-star Lizzy fan, but I give an extra for the energy that I've seen these guys put into a concert: something that doesn't fully come through on an audio recording.
je respecte les Irlandais
This album is so long. Also as a live album it isn't the best quality either. It's fine I guess. Less hair-metally than I thought it was going to be but still not exactly my cup of tea. 5.5/10 (2.75/5)
3.5
Never really listened to Thin Lizzy before but knew a couple of their popular ones. Good live album, some clear highlights for me as parts of it were quite similar. Not entirely sure why a live album was chosen over a studio one. Fav tracks: Dancing in the Moonlight, Jailbreak, The Boys are Back in Town
The boys are most certainly back in town.
Not sure why this particular compilation is on here, considering it is just an assembly of various live performances that show Thin Lizzy as he fun sweaty rockers then same as any of their full length proper.
Massacre is pretty cool song, the rest is alright. Not a fan of the slower ballads but prob a 3 here. I've just never really liked their sound much, and can't stand some of the radio hits; boys are back, etc. I think mainly it's the vocalist.
Not a huge Thin Lizzy fan. Best thing about TL is their harmony guitar parts. Can't stand Jailbreak and I have to be in just the right mood for "The Boys Are Back In Town". Assuming this is actually live and not a mix of live and studio overdubs like Kiss Alive, they were quite solid live. If I was more into TL, I'd probably love this album. As it is, it's just an average album for me.
I never was a huge Thin Lizzy fan, because the songs don't have anything special from other rock music from that era, but I never hated the either. Anyway, this is a live record that sounds better than the studio recordings, and I actually enjoyed it. I was not expectng this.
Thin Lizzy is great! I've never dove into much beyond the basics though. I like this and it's fun to listen to but, for me, it kinda just goes on and on. I'd put it on again if I wanted to listen to some rock jams as kind of a background thing.
3.5
I get why people like this and it certainly wasn’t bad but I couldn’t see myself wanting to hear this again. 2.5/5
Got some good stuff going on. Not for me tho
I mean the songs are great but not sure what was special about this particular performance to warrant it on this list
I balked a bit at the length of this and the fact that it’s live, but honestly as only a semi-fan of Thin Lizzy, this feels like the way to hear them. This feels like it really captures the sound of the band, who must have been killer live.
This was OK. I didn’t like the vocalist much, but the band was pretty good. This was long, harmless, and fine.
Decent live
A live album over an hour long is a bold choice. I've never listened to Thin Lizzy before. It was alright. I don't think I could name any songs, but it was enjoyable.
Always nice to hear every once in a while
It's okay but nothing extra
Not horrible considering I’m not a huge fan of live records usually and don’t much of Thin Lizzy’s music. The energy kept things interesting.
It's certainly live. Not sure about dangerous. Maybe I'd really appreciate this if I was more familiar with Thin Lizzy's music. They're capable performers and this certainly wasn't bad, but I'm not especially taken with it. But I did find myself engaged more often than not. Highlights: Emerald, Still In Love With You, Cowboy Song, The Boys Are Back in Town
I'm honestly never sure how to rate or review a live album. They're never really on my list when I want to listen to an artist's discography. This is a fine album? The musicianship is pretty damn tight, the performances definitely feel energetic, and the tracklist flows really nicely. I suppose your opinion on this LP will simply depend on how big of a Thin Lizzy fan you are; and I wouldn't class myself as a big fan. So if you're a big fan, this would probably be an easy 5. If not, it will teeter around the 3-4 mark. For me, it's a 3. If parts of this album came on while I was driving, I wouldn't complain. But I wouldn't be turning the volume up in excitement, y'know? I appreciate Thin Lizzy to at least some degree, they were just never really up my alley. However, if you were looking for a good introduction to the band this would actually be a good starting point.
Saw them at my school for a special assembly They had a couple of decent songs
The inherent problem with live albums is that they can never recapture the experience of being at a live gig. A two-minute drum solo is spellbinding when you're in the audience, pumped up and surrounded by other fans - the atmosphere carries it. Without that context, it becomes interminable, dull. Live albums provide nostalgia to people who were actually in the audience and want to relive the experience. Sure, the band know what they're doing and the musicality and performances are good. There were some cool tracks on this - 'Dancing in the moonlight', 'Massacre' and 'The boys are back in town', for example. For me, though, live music and recorded music should be kept separate, at least in rock.
Rock. Pretty good, but I’m not really a fan of live albums. I would’ve much rather heard the studio versions.
Okay so this one was sound. We know I love rock, we know I love live playlists and we know I love guitar. Well? I liked this album. Very good.
Album 493 of 1001 Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous Rating : 3.75 / 5 Not typically a big fan of live albums. Enjoyed this more than I expected. Always liked their studio stuff.
Old, hard rock. It's decent to me.
Really solid rock music. So much better than the KISS three chord glam rock of the era. There is nothing really groundbreaking here, and I'm not sure I need to listen to much more Thin Lizzy, but I enjoyed it.
Of course the jailbreak is gonna be at the jail
70s style hard rock. I knew of Thin Lizzy but, knowing Gary Moore's later work, I expected .... more. This is not bad by any stretch, but too long for the fact that there is not that much variation between the songs. 3/5
Felt exhausted just seeing a 1hr 16 min live album by Thin Lizzy going into this... but it wasn't that bad actually. I think I mixed it up with Alice Cooper. Anyways, had some decent songs, but nothing that really grabbed me, and won't be remembered either. Weak 3.
I really like Thin Lizzy, they just embody fun and sometimes political rock. This live album was a bit of a dud however. The mixing wasn't really there and you could never really feel the energy of the crowd or the live performance. I would've rather listened to one of their study albums.
A good live performance by a decent band. Unfortunately, like most other live rock albums, has one too many jam sessions that immediately makes me lose interest
Decent album.
good live little repetitive
I'm not a big fan of live albums. But aside from the vocals this one is pretty well recorded. And it is also just a fantastic guitar album, so not the end of the world about the vocals.
Great live band. Loved a few songs I remember as a kid.
Rock, live, 1978 -> 3
I don’t have any problem with Thin Lizzy. And jailbreak is a great album. But I don’t know that we need a live album too
emerald southbound the boys are back in town don't believe a word baby drives me crazy
Very listenable and atmospheric, didn’t realise they sang some of those.
I'm giving this a three because the songs are great and Thin Lizzy rocks. But this is not an album. In any universe. It's barely even an EP. 3
Not for me at 100
I enjoyed this while I wrote to and from work today. But it's not something that I'm going to suddenly decide to put on sometime in the future
Good live album
Solid, but no bangers.
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN More fun than I expected in a few places, but too long and too much filler.
64/100
It's very interesting hearing the vast influences that earlier bands had on Thin Lizzy and how thoroughly their lead guitarist as well as the pacing of their sound derives from those influences. I can hear a ton of Jimi Hendrix as well as the David Gilmour days of Pink Floyd.
It’s okay. I prefer thin Lizzys studio albums.
Only four songs of this album were available on Spotify- bit hard to give an honest rating. 3/5
Some decent songs but live albums shouldn’t be on the list. Just put the greatest hits on there
Some of the songs on this are really great, fast, hard, really great listens. And then there’s songs like Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed that are so lame and boring. Still better than I thought, I was let down when I listened to some of their studio albums.
Not bad, if unremarkable. The guitars were good but overshadowed by the vocals. I’m not sure why this made the cut.
The Spotify version of this is only 4 songs. That seems like an appropriate amount.
Loved the rockers in this group
Interestingly, I actually expected to like this more than I did. It’s good but started a little slow for me, overall though it’s a good album.
Huh, better than I expected, but not what I expected either? Makes me want to hear more Thin Lizzy. But also wondering if they're a better live band and the studio stuff doesn't hold up as well. Terrible review, totally average. Sorry this one needs way more time in my ears.
Schlock rock. Decent
Noh tämä on Thin Lizzy ja livenä eli meno on hyvä. Biisit jopa tanssittavia. Hittimateriaalia tosin kuulostaa olevan yllättävän vähän, vaikka tässä varmaan olisi tarkoitus olla ”greatest” biisit? Mutta useampi bängerihkö, ml. ärsyttävä Boys are back in town. En rakastu.
Pieni (mutta pitkäkestoinen) ihme: yli tunnin live-LP, joka alkaa ehkä hienoisesti kyllästyttää vasta aivan lopussa. Tällä bändillä on toimivia biisejäkin, vaikka toki tulen jatkossa etsimään niitä studiolevyiltä. Soundillisesti soitto on asiantuntevan, pehmeän keinahtelevaa - viihdyttää kyllä. 3+
Live albums are typically not my thing. Boys are Back in town mixed with strong guitar flow made this more enjoyable than expected.
Good, ol' fashioned rock 'n roll; clean, energic vocals over driving guitars. It avoids the pitfalls of cock rock bands like KISS but it is still "light" hard rock with attitude. Though this list doesn't allow 'best of' compilations, a live album containing the best of an artist's work is fair game, and I'm fine with that. The band is tight, playing well with each and filling space without walking all over each other; they have mastered their instruments and perform both technically and musically together. Clean doubled guitar lines too. Self-assured and singing with personality, Phil Lynott commands the stage and keeps the listener's ear. He casts a spell on the audience and you buy all in immediately. Surprised I like this so much; it's not my normal cup of tea, but they have my attention. Phil does his best Hendrix vocally on "Warrior." Smart to jump into their biggest hit "The Boys Are Back In Town" as a segue from the previous song; it keeps the audience on their toes. These guys sound like they put on a great and energetic live show, and we even get a drum solo on "Baby Drives Me Crazy"!
I have a soft spot for people with roots in the Caribbean who go on to do big things on an international scale. Phil Lynott is one of those people, as he is half Guyanese. I am not the biggest Thin Lizzy fan, but their music always brings a smile to my face and this one did also.
The solos rip. I'd love to listen to this the next time the boys are back in town.
I probably wouldn't choose to listen to this album of my own accord, but I did enjoy my time with it today. It's the kind of thing I could see playing in the background in the garage on a Saturday night with the boys. Would go well with lite beer, hockey and darts.
Correcto
Wish it was longer, but a good live album. 3/5
Would rate it 3.8 but Lower than a 4.
Only managed to give this one a single listen, not intentional, just short on time today. Like any 70s hard rock band, I'm not giving this higher than a three because it's just not my thing really. That said, this is a strong 3. Yes, it has your standard long guitar and drum solos and over the top energy. This album also has insanely good groovy and bluesy bass lines, odd drum patterns, and a dynamic set list. The slower songs really help punctuate the high energy stuff, and generally I felt like the album as a whole flowed really well. It goes without saying that Phil Lynott has a great energy for this stuff; he surprised me with some of the personal depth on the lyrics sometimes. And yes, the solos are exhausting sometimes, but the guitarists generally did really well at keeping the solos solid throughout. All in all, a great album I don't see myself going to too often, but if hard rock and solos are your thing, I think you'll love this.
For extended periods of time, this doesn't sound or feel like a live album. Standouts for me where massacre and baby drives me crazy. I enjoyed it but it won't stick on my mind.
Not live and not all that dangerous either.
I've never been a Thìn Lizzy fan, but I obviously knew of them, and a few of their songs. This is alright, and really clean for a live album (it makes me wonder how much was overdubbed in the studio), and it's good to hear the bass so high in the mix but I guess that's not surprising. Not bad, not great, but that album cover is a sight to behold - Mr Lynott could have knocked my hat off!
Not my favourite band but this is a good live album. Nicely recorded and full of energy, the band are tight and driving, Phil's voice is expressive and strong. Oh apparently it's overdubbed. Well that explains that then. 'Massacre' is a corker and obviously so influential on twin guitar rock bands like Iron Maiden. I'm not converted though.
Thin Lizzy wasn’t part of my musical upbringing, so when I listened to “Live and Dangerous,” it felt like a fresh experience. Of course, I recognized “The Boys Are Back In Town,” but the rest of the album was new to me. I quickly picked up on the blues elements, which I found particularly enjoyable. While I can’t say I’ll go out of my way to explore more of their discography, this classic rock album was a fun listen.
Lots of cool songs but I’m not a fan of the format! I didn’t find it as perfect of a Thin Lizzy listening experience as one could get, maybe just not a fan of the recording style. Favourite track: The Boys Are Back In Town
Live albums aren’t something I listen to often. I prefer studio albums - if I want to watch a live show I’ll go to one! Or watch old shows on YouTube so you can actually see it. What’s more, this isn’t even a true live album - it’s snippets from several live shows with studio recordings and crowd noise overdubbed. It’s neither a live album nor a studio album. So what’s the point? 3 stars because the songs are solid but the format means I probably won’t come back to this, and a double album at 1h 16mins is too long.
Fun tunes for a ride. Riffs moving towards metal, then back to funk. The recording itself is patchy. I couldn't help but wish I was listening to Hendrix instead.
Too many overdubs for me to really enjoy it. It is an epic band though!
Some songs were pretty good and I enjoyed them quite a bit but this is just too long
Conheço algumas musicas mas nunca ouvi inteiro. Fiquei animado para ouvir. Voz única. Instrumentação que eu gosto muito, com piano e baixo bem altos no mix. Muito swing e ritmado. Sonoridade me agrada demais. A voz é exagerada, intensidade máxima o tempo todo, seria bom se tivesse alguma variação de intensidade
Not my favorite
Some good tunes but a tad too long
Decent enough album. Not the greatest live album I’ve ever heard.
Expected another run-of-the-mill Hard Rock album. Got a live album that admittedly features above standard Hard Rock, but also overstays its welcome and lacks the energy I expect from a live recording. 3.5/5.
3.5
An enjoyable one - knowing who the heck the band are makes all the difference sometimes! Not always a fan of a live album but this one was one of the better ones I’ve listened to. Tapped my foot and nodded my head the whole way through
Really good live album. I enjoyed very much. Lizzy are not a band I have listened too much album wise but this was enjoyable and had all the mainstream hits. Favourite song: Jail break and the boys are back in town. Least favourite: All good Album artwork: cool
Immediately improved my mood today
Better than I expected. I haven't explored this band in any detail before, just know the hits.
Cowboy song into boys are back in town was definitely the highlight. It’s the kind of easy listening rock that my dad would like but sounds pretty boring to me. Rating: 2.9
It's a real rare double album that makes it seem worth it. This doesn't quite make the cut.
Nothing wrong with it, some good performances. Thin Lizzy were never my thing.
Pretty good, I like thin lizzy but I've never listened to a full album by them. This was pretty enjoyable if not a little long
When i read that they pieced this live album together from multiple performances, i was a little disappointed. 3.3 stars
Classic lizzy stuff
Props to a good performance that probably took a lot of energy to perform. I just honestly am not as much a fan of love albums of even my favorite bands, let alone one I am not as familiar with.
Pretty good. Not something I'd normally listen to but some good rock tracks and a good vibe to it
Although not one of the greatest live albums ever! This is powerful and shows the band's energy.
Spotify was missing most of the tracks, but of the ones I listened to - really solid. I like his vocals, the guitar solos (especially the harmonies) were really beautiful. Nice driving pace, super tight. Probably helped by the fact that it was partially recorded in a studio. Sure, it's cheating. Sure, it's kind of long. But that's a pretty sick live album.
Not a huge fan of live albums
I'm not a big fan of live albums being on lists like this, however I'm glad I listened to this. I was dreading it but I ended up enjoying it quite a lot. High energy rock show. Fav songs: - Jailbreak - Still in Love with you - Cowboy Song - The boys are back in town
‘78 Marin County Fair sound. Boys are Back in Town.
This is the epitome of white boy rock. It's not bad, and for the record, I'm a "white boy", but it's not great. 3 stars
Great guitar interplay, no song outlives it's welcome. A LOT of early Iron Maiden in this, Dave Murray especially clearly influenced.
Forgettable live album.
3.5 I’ve never claimed to be much of a Thin Lizzy fan, but this album definitely made me more of one! I really thought all these guys had was Jailbreak and The Boys are Back in Town, but there was no shortage of great songs to be found here, with Emerald, Rosalie, Are You Ready, and my personal favorite, Southbound, all being highlights. I didn’t care as much for some of the later slower stuff like Dancing in the Moonlight and Still in Love With You, but I will say, as a whole, I really do think the songs are greatly enhanced by the band’s live performance - in most cases, I found them better than their studio versions. While I wouldn’t go as far as to call this one of the best live albums I’ve ever heard, it does have a great energy to it that makes me think these guys would have been a blast to see. Granted, there was apparently a lot of studio overdubbing work done on this, but that kind of thing happens with most live albums, so I don’t really fault them for that here, and I honestly, I think they did it more seamlessly than some other live albums I’ve heard (love The Mark, Tom, & Travis Show, but yeah…) I don’t think this is any kind of all-time great, but I do think this a fun live album and definitely has a place in a classic rock record collection.
It has a great sound. Not totally raw as they ,for example, edited some phasing to the drums solo at the end of ‘Sha-La-La’. The solo came out of nowhere and I really enjoyed it. ‘Still in Love With You’ hooked me in. What stands out are the two lead guitars harmonizing. But to be honest I don’t always like the sound of it. At first I also liked ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’ but it’s feels a bit generic towards the end of the song. I’m happy that I got to know the band but will probably not listen to the full album again. One takeaway for me is that a phaser sounds really good on cymbals.
9 hours. 9. Hours. No Nathanial, Oh no Nathanial, there must be more to life than listening to 9 consecutive hours of Thin Lizzy. Obviously I didn’t listen to it all, and to be fair, what I did listen to I enjoyed.
This was fun. If I had to listen to old rock I'd pick this over the sabbaths and deep purple and stuff. I moved to Ireland nearly a decade ago and Phil Lynott is a god here and I can see why. He is the Irish Hendrix. Plus the rhythm section slaps as well. The live album seems to do a good job of capturing their energy. My only complaint is that it didn't offer much variety and I found over an hour if this way too much. But if you are a fan then I'm sure you'd stuck this straight in your veins.
Kept thinking "this band sounds just like another band from that era". At first I was thinking of Tom Petty "don't do me like that", but turns out I was actually thinking of the songs JailBreak and The Boys are Back In town and didn't realize who sung them. So there... Thin Lizzy sounds just like the band Thin Lizzy. #HotTake
Fun
Honestly a lot of the songs were unmemorable. However, the guitar on this album was so incredible that I'm going to give it some bonus points. Even more impressive that this was recorded live. 3.5/5
70’s rock at its pinnacle.
It's fine, although nothing groundbreaking. Definitely too long. And weird that it's live but also not. Not bad enough for a 2 though.
boys are back in town
Thought i’d like it more than I did. “Boys” isnangreatbtunenofncourse
decent but drags on and doesn't stand out much, don't really see the point of including this on the list
Great guitar solos
I'd still rather have studio versions, but Phil Lynott is charming AF and they have the tunes.
good
Famous live album representing the essence out of two different live tours.
Fun live album Standout songs: Suicide Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed Rosalie
Mid except for boys are back in town
Mmm Fav songs: southbond ×)
Is this one song or four? Live versions of all the best from this one hit wonder. Must say, I love their sound.
Liked it better than I expected, but then again didn't expect much. Good energy, but not a lot of variety to the music.
I was dreading my Monday morning rainy commute until I pulled up this power punch. I have always liked the hits and a few deeper tracks. I love the low rumble of the back line and the dueling guitar sound. I have a few new takeaways from this one, Massacre and Dancing in the moonlight. Loved the live versions of Cowboy Song/ Boys are Back. I will say I prefer the studio version of “Emerald”, one of the best guitar solos of all time IMO. Overall a great listen pretty much all the way through. 3.5/5
Outside of the hits I had never really listened to Thin Lizzy. On the controversial topic of whether this was truly a live recording, I would probably side with the producer. Unnatural crowd fades as well as moments of no noise at all during songs with space kinda support the fact those parts were studio overdubs. But it was still an enjoyable listen. And the twin guitar’ing really defines the band. More like…Somewhat live and somewhat dangerous but still rockin’.
This was definitely at times pretty fun, several tracks that rocked and were worth listening to, especially for a band that I had always thought (probably erroneously) was basically a one hit wonder. But not sure I needed this, and something tells me if I had a visual to pair with this audio I would have liked it less. The Spotify link initially took me to a four track version, inclusive of The Boys Are Back in Town… felt like that would have been sufficient for me.
Still on the fence if live albums should be allowed. The Irish joke was a bit of an eye roller but enjoyable rock album. RIP
I’m typically not a fan of live albums (says the guy who gave 5* to Nirvana Unplugged). Sure the hits are there, but I prefer the studio recordings. This one was pretty enjoyable and sounded good. I guess there’s some controversy surrounding the band overdubbing most of the album. Anyways, who cares? It’s an above average listen and I really enjoyed Massacre. 3.5/5
Seemed designed for the more hardcore fans. It was ok but i don't think I'd listen again.
I didn't like the start of this album. Not sure why this was considered a good enough live album to be included. There was a stretch of songs from Cowboy Song to Don't Believe a Word that were very strong, but I don't think it was enough for me to really want to put this album on again. I may check out other Thin Lizzy album releases out of curiosity, so that's not a bad thing.
I'm liking this. It's a solid live recording, and while I'm not a huge fan of this era of rock, I've grown to appreciate it so much more as the years have gone by. It's a tight band (with tight pants) and the live translation of their songs was great and the recording on the record is amazing. The drum solo panning and flanging on Sha-la-la!! I really enjoyed this one. 4/5 --- Rating meanings: since all of these records are master works and well regarded, my scale is going to adapt to how well I connected with a record. 1 being the least amount of connection and 5 being the most amount of connection.
*Live performance* Knew a good amount of these songs, but never knew what the band was. This is another one that sounds like my childhood. Fave: The Boys Are Back in Town 3.5
Pretty good but overly long. Some great solos in this, I especially liked Still In Love With You. Nothing jumped out enough to go more than three stars though.
Pretty good for a genre I usually don't like at all
i knew of thin lizzy's big hits. didn't know they were irish until i went to irish rock n' roll history museum (must-do if you're a music lover in dublin). and this live album was good. something i would put on in the background while cleaning my house.
Solid live-rock-album with the all their hits. I generally question the significanse of that kind of a live-album for this list. 2,5
Yeaaaah c'était fun mais j'écouterais plus les versions albums.
This one was better than I expected. Nice to pick an Irish band for St. Patrick's Day. I doubt I'll pick this one up much but it was a decent listen. Honestly though, I only made it 3/4 through this album. I'm sure I would have been a huge Thin Lizzy fan if I was in my teens or twenties in the 19070s.
While Thin Lizzy is an excellent hard rock band and one of their studio releases certainly belongs on this list, but I'm not sure another live double album does, particularly when it was created by cherry picking from so many dates and with so many overdubs. Having said that I did enjoy the live segue from the last chord from "Cowboy Song" becoming the first chord from "The Boys Are Back In Town". This album demonstrated that Thin Lizzy wrote and performed solid songs. I cannot help but wonder if Prince early in his career borrowed a ton of Phil Lynott's wardrobe look from this era. It would seem so.
These are their hits, so its nice, but why is this live album what one should listen to, it didnt stick out to me in any way.
Solid live performance.
Started off strong, captured the feeling of a live show quite well. Overstayed its welcome.
Not bad. Enjoyable guitar
Album Nr. 62 Nicht schlecht. Aber vom Hocker reißt mich das Album aber auch nicht.
"The Boys Are Back in Town", certified banger. What I didn't know is that the lead singer (Phil Lynott) is a black Irishman, the more you know. This album is a bit weird since it's a live double album. This is my first Thin Lizzy album on here, but the live album is basically just a compilation of their popular stuff at the time so it feels like it's kind of cheating to me. Allegedly there's also a dispute about how much of this is actually "live". I guess they were originally supposed to record an album this year but their producer was busy so they just decided to pull live recordings and slap a cover on that instead. The producer claims that 75% of the sound actually was overdubbed in the studio, but the manager says that's wrong and 75% of the sound is live and they only overdubbed some background vocals and things. If it's actually significantly dubbed, that makes it even a little more dicey for this list. Anyway, it's generally alright. It's definitely a hard rock album through and through, but there are enough solid songs. Obviously "The Boys Are Back in Town" is iconic, but "Jailbreak" is a great opener, "Dancing in the Moonlight" was really nice (I hadn't heard this one before), and "Cowboy Song" led into TBABIT nicely. The downside is that it's long (77 minutes) and there are a few stretches that feel like somewhat generic hard rock. They probably could have cut this thing after TBABIT and been just fine with it. Favorite song: The Boys Are Back in Town Other: Jailbreak, Dancing in the Moonlight, Still in Love with You, Cowboy Song 3/11/24
Thin Lizzy is another of those "good" basic bands that cover the entiire "core" of music, particularly within genre. In other words, Thin Lizzy is a hard rock, all in, put it out there 70's rock band. It doesn't take much research to realize that there were a LOT of bands like this, always has been, always will be. They are entertaining, "cool" and will have an overall generic appeal with a few hardcore fans. I suppose they also suffer from being around at a time when lots of amazing bands were around vying for air time. Nevertheless, they are solidly entertaining and good fun.
Wederom weer best oké voor oudewittemannenmuziek. Live optreden is opzich ook wel gezellig om naar te luisteren
Pretty good live album, however for some reason my spotify doesn't give me access to over half the songs. The ones I have access too were good though!
ten years ago, i would have loved this more. now it's okay, but not groundbreaking...
Pretty okay.
I quite liked this. Favourite song Still In Love With You
Live (but not really) And Dangrous(ly boring)
Fine guitar work
It's fine. I think it started out strong, then sort of got a bit boring in the middle. it picked up a bit at the end, but I was kind of over it at that point. It's not really my kind of music, so an hour and 20 minutes is a LONG time. A bit of a fun fact: Apparently Huey Lewis, who would later achieve fame as the guy with all the songs in the Back to the Future movie, was part of the backing band or something. He got a call out for playing harmonica. This is definitely not Huey Lewis and the News-style music. Anyway, 3 out of 5 seems about right.
Only listened to half. Kind of dig it
Thin Lizzy never really made my radar as far as bands to listen to, and I didn't hear much here to spark the kind of rabid fandom that I've seen around this band. It was fine for a '70s rocker.
Straight forward late 70s live rock. Nothing wrong with it, but not interesting to me. Includes big hit The Boys Are Back In Town.
kein Gedöns - ROCK
Clásico rock staple but not a huge fan
It's a four song live album, I'm not sure how this would be considered great but whatever. Typically live albums are never that great in the first place
Enjoyable albums. Simple & classic sound lacking some variety but they found their niche. Nothing really stood out for me too much they're good at what they do.
Some great moments here
Уже по обложке я понимал какой саунд меня ждёт. Мужчина с богатой шевелюрой. Открытая грудь. Обтягивающие кожаные штаны. Йеп, это рок семидесятых. Я ожидал, что вокалист будет более визгливым, но в принципе вокал адекватный. Гитара забористая и чёткая. А знаете, неплохо, в принципе неплохо. Три звезды.
Very generic 70s rock. Still fun to listen to though
Very interesting for a heavy rock album
It's aight. Pretty generic classic rock. Would rather just listen to their studio albums. Not even really a lot of band energy, or crowd energy. Energy ramps up closer to the end, nice drum solo on "Sha-La-La". If the whole album was like the last 3 tracks it'd be legendary!
Decent enough, but sometime it's a bit uninspired with really basic rock songs. I really do enjoy the lead singers voice though. I also think it starts off really strong and fall off big time around the 3/4 mark.. unfortunate, since if they just cut a few tracks it would've been a much better listen. 6/10
not on spotify
It’s okay, not a giant Thin Lizzy fan but the dual guitar lines are great. It’s good just not maybe the most subversive songwriting for me.
Could only listen to 4 songs. Would like to hear the rest.
There are only a few bands I can listen to an entire album and not get bored with it. Thin Lizzy is not one of those bands.
Only 4 of the songs would play. Very few reasons for a live album, but guitar solos are one of them. Still in Love with You has a pretty great solo.
Solid classic rock. Would sound good on a dive bar jukebox anywhere in the world.
7/10 i'm not the biggest fan of live albums purely because I feel as if yes, the performances are more lively but they don't really match up with my feelings towards the original recordings. this album was no exception. i also feel as if the songs performed weren't that interesting to me, like ok it's 70s rock? big whoop, do something cool with it. it sounds nice but it's just not that exciting.
Celtic rockabilly baby!
Didn’t grab me. Had high expectations from the wiki report. Not my taste I guess
Jail Break & Boys are Back in Town are bangers.
- The guitars are jammy but why does a live album need to be on this list again - Insanely fun to listen to tho - Great classic rock sound that's very guitar driven
- very good sound quality for a liv album - just some dudes rocking
Said before that I'm not keen on live albums. This was great though. I think more 'live' stuff should be produced like this was. Two weeks of studio improvements and polish. Helps that the band were seemingly at the top of their game.
Turn it up to 11 and enjoy!
Alright, but can't really pick any songs out of the mix
It’s a good album. It’s too hard for me at this time in my life but I appreciate it. My favorite song, which I absolutely love, is still in love with you.
Some good tracks. Don't love live albums.
Who knew the guy who wrote the boys are back in town had more than 1 song?
Live albums are shit, but this doesn't feel that live and shit just a bit of both. Too long, couldn't pay my full attention all the way through. Sick guitar harmonies, made me wanna pick up my guitar and play along with the juiciness.
This was fine. The crowd and the artists seemed to be enjoying themselves. As it started I expected an album of straight-up hair metal, a mode for which I wasn't in, but fortunately it balanced out with some bluesy, countryesque, even funky moments. None of the music was memorable for me—in one ear and out the other—but this was still a fun album!
They definitely closed the album on a high note. Fun drum solo on Sha-La-La. High energy, decent classic rock stuff in general. It didn't quite get to a 4 for me, but it was solid. 3.5.
In my opinion, Thin Lizzy had great hard rock and incredible live shows. I do not believe that this is the best live album of all time. Jailbreak is my favorite song of theirs. They are firing on all cylinders with this one! It is played and sounds different each time they play it from the original studio recording to every single live performance. Each one good, but different. I don't like that my favorite version is not the studio or the live one on this album though.
Catchy opener... Probably a 3/5 for me. Not bad but not blowing me away. A little corny in parts but some classic Hard Rock. Can't deny some of those riffs.
First of all, I hate a live record. Hate hate hate them. So we'll see how this goes. Ok, "Emerald" rips??????? And you can't really tell that it's live even so much? This album kind of lost momentum for me pretty quickly, to be honest. I will say I was prepared for the live aspect to be much worse and much more annoying than it actually was. The live aspect was fairly negligible. Thin Lizzy for me is just one of those bands that is INCREDIBLE when they are on, but more often than not it's just Fine and that's all. Looped back around to being a little dull for me at the end. "Baby Drives Me Crazy" is a whole long band introduction live album thing which is always boring as hell. However apparently Huey Lewis played harmonica on this live album only so that was a bizarre and interesting introduction to hear.
I can just imagine my pot smoking uncle being like "what? you've never heard live and dangerous by thin Lizzy? HOLD ON" Then slamming an 8track into the dashboard of his Buick lasabre. This album is really good but we are past it as a culture. Save it for the classic rock station. That being said I enjoyed having it on in the background.
eenrgetic, fun. not the best that i've heard, but probably due to not liking the songs that much
One of those albums that isn't hard work but isn't great either. I usually have a no live albums merit greatness award but I can understand why the odd one is put in - this was most definitely the best known Lizzy album when I was a kid.
Peter Frampton’s album was much better. But the song “Massacre” is a banger 🔥
A fantastic rock album front to back. The bassist is holding it DOWN on this one and the guitars are screaming. Standout tracks: Emerald, Massacre, The Boys Are Back In Town
Pretty good live album. Sounded like an amazing concert to be in attendance.
Solid music, but for me, nothing special.
It's always a bit odd having live albums pop up on this list, 'in the wild' I would only stick on a live album of a band I really liked, and even then it would have to be a pretty special performance. Thin Lizzy are cool enough but at an hour and a half, this was wearing thin towards the end.
Great live album, but still feel live albums should not be on the list, so 3 stars.
Apart from the live aspect in the context of this list: an entertaining album.
5.5/10 Surprisingly ok, though not that interesting. Highlights: Johnny the Fox The Boys are Back in Town
Not bad stadium rock, a bit generic: 3/5?
Good, hard rocking classic. I'm not a huge Thin Lizzy fan but this was a pretty good live album.
Sadly most of this album was missing from Spotify. It seemed pretty cool. The boys are back in town was the best track
Sounded dubbed. Probably not from one show. Mid
Very 70s, loud, with a few catchy ones
Pretty rocking blues rock, but when the guitars are front and center, they're all "excuse me, I will now demonstrate the NWOBM".
Definitely not an album I would have ever reached for on my own, but that's why ya gotta love this project. I am of course familiar with a few of Thin Lizzy's hits, "The Boys are Back In Town" is an undeniable banger, but never have been super interested in diving any deeper on them. But hey, this should at least be fun! I've always loved "Jailbreak" too ever since it was featured on the soundtrack for MLB 08: The Show, which I put way too many hours into as a kid. Rocks out fine enough here, not adding any Dead/Phish long 12 minute jamming sections or anything (dang, that would actually be kinda sick), but still fun to hear a live version of a song I know pretty well. Grooving through the next few as well, not anything really blowing my mind but it was good music to run to on my morning run. "Still in Love with You" is the first to make me stop in my tracks a bit, really nice tone & touch on the guitar here. Also, an aside, probably dumb of me but never realized they were an Irish band until I heard their accents in the between song banter. I think I just default to thinking any band is American unless they sound very obviously not. Very Amero-centric of me, I apologize. One thing this live album does give me is an appreciation for the front man Phil Lynott's vocals, very impressive, sounds kinda like Freddy Mercury at times. Why are they encouraging the crowd to clap along with the band, one of my biggest live music pet peeves, it always sounds awful and this is no exception, especially with the weird way the audience is mixed (going from non-existent to this weird separation from the rest of the instruments, guessing this is because of the way there were apparently a lot of overdubs, [which I don't hold against them unlike other reviewers, the greatest live album of all time Europe 72 has a lot of overdubs]). I think I would have a lot of fun with this album drinking beers with my buddies in the 70/80s, but sitting sober at my desk on Monday morning in the year 2023 it's not doing a ton for me. And an hour 20 is a bit much. But it's certainly not terrible. "Boys are Back in Town" sounds great here, I liked the transition from "Cowboy Song"
3.5
Very generic 70s hard rock. No reason to listen to this album over anything else of the genre.
First live album I have been tricked into listening to. Wasn't bad, guitar parts were pretty cool, and some of the songs in the beginning were pretty good I think. But I don't remember too much of it.
5/10 - Overall okay. There are some good songs but the Boys are Back in Town is definitely their most popular song and i do not really like it. I just think his voice is kinda annoying.
Kinda felt like a had heard the whole song 30 seconds into each song 5/10
Cool, but very repetitive. Kept thinking "Is this the boys are back in town?" Nope, just an extremely similar song.
Æ þetta var frekar boring því miður. Örugglega voða fínt ef maður nennir þessu endalausa gítar rúnki.
It was ok. Would probably have it on the background.
4 of 17 available to stream...so I had a look around and was able to give the entire thing a listen after the four that were available. It was worth it for being a live record and over an hour of listening time. I don't know if I could get into the image and all the other trappings but I appreciate loud, heavy music that has some hooks to it just as much as I love loud, heavy music that puts noise and anti-hooks front and center. Thin Lizzy obviously is the former and not the latter. I don't know where the record sits in their canon, but it's fun on its own.
Nice 80's rock album. The fact that it's a live recording makes it better. Fun listen.
This is a great live record, I will probably need to relisten. Thoughts: Pretty Decent Old White Man Rock Favorite song: Still In Love With You
Good classic rock album, but nothing to unique that makes it stand out.
Ok. Some good guitar on this. Odd that the one hit song is what it is - several others are better
Meh
Good album. Lots of energy.
Disjointed, not a proper live album, not a studio album either. But there are some good songs, good solos, overall a good listen. Massacre was my favorite ☘️☘️☘️
Nice to hear live versions of some of the studio stuff I loved: The boys are back in town, Jailbreak, Sha la la, Dancing in the moon light.
If only they left off the filler, it would have been a 4 star single LP. Favorite song: massacre.
was ok... but live is annoying af
A bop.
It was fine
Another live album, though this wasn't terrible. I'm feeling generous so I'll give this a 3 today.
I'm familiar with their hit "The Boys are Back in Town", but this is my first listen of a Thin Lizzy Album. A decent concert overall, but there are times the vocals are almost floating in front of the rest of the mix - it seems more noticeable in some songs than others. The fade in and out of some songs seems weird, but after reading notes the songs came from different concerts (as well as the discussion of overdubs) it makes sense. Notable songs in this one for me are Rosalie, Still in Love with you, and a young Huey Lewis (!) on Baby Drives Me Crazy, and The Boys are Back in Town. Sha-la-la had a fun drum solo that had a part that reminded me of Van Halen's Hot for Teacher.
Way less cheesy than I expected with pants like that. Rocked pretty hard.
Some fun riffs but I never liked how they just talk instead of sing sometimes
It’s very Thin Lizzy
Very good for a live album
A great live album but I think I would rather the standard songs more so it takes a hit for me.
Good musicianship but generally forgettable songs
Blind album and artist, only know the name. It's okay. Don't lime that the 1st album I heard of this artist was a live one, and it sounds like the band recording was maxed and put on top of the clapping and stuff...? Kind of bothers me compared to other live albums I heard.
Helt kiva bra bas
I can appreciate that this is an impressive live album, but I'd rather listen to recordings than a live album. Not a fan of the cheering.
I've always liked Phil and his swagger. This is a fairly standard live rock album though- most of the hits are on here.
Bruce Springsteen with sicker guitar and a slightly worse/iconic voice. After a few songs I thought 'this is a boys are back in town beat', lo and behold the song comes on later in the album and they wrote it. Crazy
Wow, lots of guitar solos. My son and I listened on an hour long car journey yesterday. It was a reasonably good experience. I can see these guys probably had a fair bit of influence on some more modern bands. Enjoyed the musicianship and crowd interaction. Took note to listen again to Massacre I think it was… there was a few really good tracks on here and I was glad of the mixture of styles and timings. But those guitar solos… one every 2 or 3 minutes perhaps? Easy on the solos!
Was not expecting to enjoy this, but surprisingly fun. Did not realize they basically invented having two lead guitarists, and you can really hear that come through in their live set here.
Better than I expected. Gary Moore's guitar playing was excellent. However a few songs did seem to start with similar intros and thought The Boys Are Back In Town was beginning about 3 times before it actually played. Enjoyable, will I revisit? Maybe. A low 3 for destroying my preconceptions of this band. Thank god there was no Whisky in the Jar (or Jarrow if you're that bloke from Metallica) or it would have been a lot lower
Boys are back in town! It was nice, pretty fun, but they can go back to their village now. Entertaining at moments, but ultimately quite a boring album.
What a pleasant surprise. I couldn’t listen to the entire album because Spotify had removed several of the tracks from the album, but I got a small taste.
Classic rock is classic. The fact that Huey Lewis played harmonica on this album blew me away. A fun listen.
Good ol' rock 'n' roll, really fun album, nothing too special. Still in Love with You and the transition from Cowboy Song to The Boys Are Back in Town were standout moments for me.
Pretty cool live album
Probably really good, but only 5 or so songs available in NA on Spotify.
Fairly generic rock album. Good for a live album nothing particularly special
Better than The Who and Queen. More straight hard rock. Gets boring after an hour, but a forty minute highlights cut would slap. These guys can play. Chugging drums, blazing lead, nice little double lead lines harmonizing guitars. Who and Queen probably better live. Solid late seventies live rock.
This is a decent live album, though I don't feel like the live recording sounds great. It's void of a lot of the energy that I feel is necessary for a live album to really hit. You don't feel any of the crowd energy/excitement and the production feels way too bass-focused, it just sounds super muddy to me. All of that being said, there are a number of solid songs on here and they perform them well. I saw somewhere that there was a remastered version of this somewhere but I'm assuming that's not what's on Apple Music because I feel like they should have addressed some of the production shortcomings (unless some of this was due to the mic setup that was used). I would really like to hear a remixed/remastered version of this one because I feel like that could add a full star to this album. Standout Tracks: Jailbreak, Rosalie/Cowgirl's Song, Dancing in the Moonlight (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight), Cowboy Song, The Boys Are Back In Town, Suicide, The Rocker
Favourite Song: The Boys are Back in Town
Good live album, love how you can feel the energy
Day 5 (I think), and the first album we’ve gotten that I don’t own in one form or another. (Yes, I own a Meat Loaf album. I have hoarding issues.) Also the first one I’ve never listened to before, even though it seems like an album I should have and like. A lot critics and bands I like are Thin Lizzy fans. Out of the five or six albums we’ve been assigned here, one would guess that Meat Load would’ve been the album I’ve never heard (though truthfully I’d never listened to entire thing before). Some might even think the Pointer Sisters, but only those who were unaware of my soft spot for disco. I’ve listened to some album cuts from Thin Lizzy, but never gotten into them enough to make it through a full album. Which leads me to the album itself. I don’t have much to say. It didn’t really do it for me. I skipped through sections of songs just to get to the guitar solos. I liked the several hits I already knew. The band sounds good. I think it’s just that the songs weren’t catchy enough for me. And I just didn’t respond to the lead vocals with much feeling. I can see the appeal but I fell asleep before I got to the end. Maybe I’ll give it another try down the road.
I mean, sure. 2.5
Classic rock
Its good, but its not great. Maybe this album set a standard, but it sounds so much like all the other 70s rock, you know? Anyway, its got a few good tracks but it doesnt grab me for some reason. 3/5
Can't really say much about this. The songwriting is standard fare, but at least the performances were enticing.
Down-the-middle rock. I miss this.
Har bare hørt et par Thin lizzy låter før, ble positivt overrasket av at det ikke er så corny som de låtene får det til å virke som. Fortsatt ganske corny, altså, men ikke så gæernt som fryktet:) dette er ganske bra, et sted mellom 3 og 4 av 5.
we wpuld thank evrry body for coming especially if yoj xame teice lr three tkmes
Not a fan
Genuinely speaking, I find that live albums fall a bit flat. You don't have the benefit of precise mixing like on the album, and you don't have the energy that you'd get from actually being there in person. That holds true here, too. I do like Thin Lizzy and it was fun hearing a lot of their best songs in one place, but I'd rather be listening to a proper studio production, to be honest.
Very solid album. Great tight music for a live performance and perfect vocals.
It’s cock rock and live so of course they cock it up a bit more. It’s fine, whatever. They’re kinda lame as fuck though, like an Irish Kiss, kinda cool but I hate that I like bits of it. 3 stars I guess
