Thin Lizzy – a band you can never get tired of. After listening
\nto their music (especially their most remembered album, 1976’s
\nJailbreak<\/i>), you can’t help but want to hear more of their
\nmusic.<\/p>\n
Their 1983 album,
\nChinatown<\/i>, shows how guitars rock, the way they ought to be.
\nThe guitarists for Thin Lizzy on this particular album are Scott
\nGorham and Snowy White. And let us not forget the unforgettable
\nlyrics of their frontman bass player\/lead singer, the late Phillip
\nLynott.
\nChinatown<\/i> was recorded in Chinatown in London. Awesome is
\nbest to describe this album, with it’s incredible artwork and
\nalways rocking style.<\/p>\n
Leading off the album is “We Will Be Strong,” that has strong
\nguitar work and lyrics. The guitars are incredible in the title
\ntrack, and if a rock band would want to include this song in their
\nplaylist (especially a Thin Lizzy tribute band), “Chinatown” would
\ndefinitely be a challenge for their guitar players.<\/p>\n
“Sweetheart” continues the rocking a-blazing, where “Sugar
\nBlues” has a great rhythm with both the bass and guitars, with a
\ntouch of drum solo riff. (Drums supplied by Brian Downey.) This
\nsong would be another challenge for an up-and-coming rock-and-roll
\nband, and\/or Thin Lizzy tribute band.<\/p>\n
“Killer On The Loose” is a song that stands out in your mind as
\na contender for regular radio airplay. It’s chorus has you chanting
\nalong with the band, “There’s a Killer on the Loose again, there’s
\na Killer on the Loose…” It also has some laughing sound effects,
\nsounding like Satan.<\/p>\n
“Having A Good Time” would have been another song for regular
\nradio airplay; it’s not as hard rocking as the previous songs
\nheard, yet it’s not a slow number either. Again, it demonstrates
\ngood use of guitars and solos.<\/p>\n
“Genocide (The Killing of the Buffalo)” picks up the rocking
\nrhythms again, “Didn’t I” slows down the pace, showcasing Phillip
\nLynott’s soulful voice, with the blending of the guitars makes this
\nsong a wonderful rock ballad. The album ends with the bass-catching
\ntune, “Hey You,” and like many songs heard on this album, is a
\nanother rocker.<\/p>\n
There aren’t any big hits in Thin Lizzy’s
\nChinatown<\/i>, yet they only had three songs in their career
\nthat everyone would remember right off the bat: “The Boys Are Back
\nIn Town,” “Jailbreak,” and “Dancing In The Moonlight.” But that
\ndoesn’t mean that their other albums should never have had big
\nhits. They should have, because after hearing their other albums,
\nit’s amazing that Thin Lizzy didn’t get regular exposure, other
\nthan on underground and AOR FM radio stations. Thin Lizzy’s music
\nshould be heard and experienced. There will be some songs you will
\ndiscover that you will want to play over and over again.
\n(Especially for those who have their own radio stations, and\/or
\npirate radio stations.)<\/p>\n
Pick up any Thin Lizzy album, and you will not be disappointed.
\nChinatown<\/i> is an album that definitely rocks, and if that’s
\nwant you want to hear, hear you will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":27624,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[5891],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-38999","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-thin-lizzy","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=38999"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=38999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
