Free Music Review: Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Hit: 3 Stars

Jailbreak was the album that broke Thin Lizzy in America. Most of us recall the first single from that album "The Boys Are Back In Town". I have often wondered why they didn't achieve a higher level of success, and with the untimely death of frontman Phil Lynott, we will never know if they could have become as famous as, oh, lets say Aerosmith - another band with twin lead guitarists.
Standout tracks on this album are the title track, "Jailbreak" (great guitar work on this one and a nice riff as well), "Warriors" (a blistering guitar solo in the middle that will make your ears bleed), the afore mentioned first single "The Boys Are Back In Town" (great hook in the chorus), and "Emerald" (an Irish war chant?? listen to those pounding drums). There are also several tracks that just don't seem to fit with the concept of this album. "Angel From The Coast", "Running Back", and "Romeo And The Lonely Girl", all seem to be in the vein of a torch song - lonely hearts and lost loves. What does that have to do with the concept of interstellar freedom fighters, but then perhaps the concept here was more in the minds of the record company executives than those of the band. "Cowboy Song" is another stand out track with good guitar work and a chance for Phil to stretch his singing abilities, but again - how does this fit into the concept? "Fight Or Fall" is another track that seems a little out of place. I think it may be Lynott's attempt at the Soul/R&B genre (Phil was biracial if you remember). It's not a bad song, but it seems out of place here. Bottom line on this one is if you liked "The Boys Are Back In Town" then go ahead and buy this CD. You won't likely be dissapointed.

Jailbreak Poster

Digitally remastered reissue of the legendary Irish rocker'stop 20 1976 album, complete with the original artwork & allnine of the tracks that first appeared on it, including thehits 'The Boys Are Back In Town', 'Jailbreak' and 'CowboySong'. 1996 Vertigo Records release.
Jailbreak is surely Thin Lizzy's most exciting, tough, and touching album. Simultaneously barbarous and balletic, the 1976 set boasts the totally irresistible "The Boys Are Back in Town." But the rest of Jailbreak lives up to that highlight, especially the riotous title track ("Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town"--yeah well, the jail seems a likely place). If Phil Lynott's poetic pretensions sometimes get the better of things, most of the album shows off his effortless power and economy; if heavy rock has a tendency to wrestle each song to the ground, Lynott and company were uniquely capable of delivering the knockout punch, graceful as a boxer or bullfighter. Jailbreak is testament to such skills. --Taylor Parkes
