Free Music Review: There must be something wrong with me
Hit: 5 Stars

First, a big dunce cap for me. In my review of "Fighting" I mistakenly said that "Fighting" was the first Thin Lizzy album to feature both Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham on guitar. I am a moron. They both played on this album. But let me offer some reasons why I may have made the mistake......
1) I haven't listened to "Nightlife" in probably 15-20 years. (I think I simply like everything this band did, starting with this album).
2) The distinctive harmony style guitar lines are not clearly evident on this album. (Although there is plenty of great guitar on it).
3) Guitarist Gary Moore also played on this album (responsible for the great work on "Still In Love With You").
4) This album is probably the most "all over the map" album the band had done. Lots of string arrangements throughout the album, some funk ("Showdown"), blues ("Still In Love With You", "Nightlife"), rock ("Sha La La", "It's Only Money"), ballads ("Dear Heart", "Frankie Carroll"), Irish music ("Philomena", "Banshee"), and the great pop song "She Knows". All in all, everything I would expect from the greatest rock band, but in "spades".

So, as you see, I have plenty of excuses (but am still a moron for not checking my writing before I post it).
To me, this is just another great album by what in my opinion is the greatest rock band of them all. They had their missteps, "Spinal Tap" moments if you will, but these guys had a distinctive look, sound, style, attitude.....they just did anything they wanted musically, and I loved them for it. (For example, who in their right mind follows "Sha La la" with "Dear Heart".....lyrics like (from "Sha La la")

I want your body
Not your soul
Come on baby
Take my jelly roll

..followed by (from "Dear Heart")...

Man with the golden arm, his face gone pale
Taken too much junk, he's gone over the rail
Breathes out a sigh and his body wails
He's gonna land in trouble, gonna land in jail


And the album cover artwork by Jim Fitzpatrick is awesome. (And the back cover photo shot of Phil in white, and the other band mates in black, is just another reason to go get a turntable and hunt down the vinyl copies. Lots of great photos and artwork are contained in the vinyl editions. I also think the vinyl editions sound better than the CD's).
