Free Music Review: The first of several strong Lizzy albums (4.5 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
Fighting is the first of several really strong hard rock albums that Thin Lizzy put out in the mid to late 1970's. Phil Lynott's songwriting really blossomed here and the band got their hard rock sound cold. "Rosalie" kicks off the album with a bang and rocks harder than the Bob Seger original. "Fighting My Way Back" is a joyous yet pounding rocker as Phil Lynott's vocals roll with venom on the verses while Brian Downey's drumming is laced with both conviction and grace. As many reviewers have stated, this is where the band really got their trademark unison guitar sound down and Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson really shine on the jazzy turns heavy "For Those Who Love to Live" and the soulful "Wild One" among others. The band also reveals two of their best heavy songs in the murder tale "Suicide" and the wicked "Ballad of a Hard Man". The remaining tunes (the ones that didn't make their live albums or compilations) are quite mellow but all of them, particularly "King's Vengeance" and "Silver Dollar" really grow on you. Longtime fans know how good this is. If you only know them for the "hits" or the Jailbreak album, pick up or download Fighting. You'll like it and then you'll want more Lizzy.
