1001 Albums Summary

A benchmark for popular music performance and recording, from the vocals, to the guitar solos, the drums, the arrangements -- all stellar. A big part of the soundtrack of my late 70s high school years. 5 out of 5

So many memories. This came out after my high school band already had “Emerald” in our set — a favorite. This album really shows off the strengths of each member of Lizzy — and this was my favorite line-up. One of the best live albums ever.

Brought back a lot of memories. Saw Garbage last year and the band was just as tight. Shirley Manson is a real star.

This was big when it came out my senior year at high school. I have not listened to it start to finish since. All the riffs! I enjoyed hearing the cuts no longer in heavy rotation.

Very enjoyable to have in the background — I don’t mean that as a dig. I thoroughly enjoyed it playing while I worked. I’ve always appreciated his laid-back delivery — like Thom Yorke if he did ballads — and the arrangements were good elevated pop.
