 (10 Customer Reviews)
Digitally remastered by Eddie Shreyer and Brian Slagel (Future Disc).
It is widely agreed among Thin Lizzy fans (and by the band themselves) that their 1981 release, Renegade, was their worst. The raw, rocking Lizzy of the past (Jailbreak, Black Rose, etc.) is nowhere to be found here; in its place is a keyboard-heavy rock band with blatant pop leanings and a production too similar to British heavy metal bands of the early '80s. New guitarist Snowy White never truly fit into the band (both musically and visually), and it was never more apparent than on Renegade. As with its predecessor, Chinatown, heavy drug use plagued the sessions, again resulting in an uninspired, unfocused affair (especially evident in Phil Lynott's flat vocals). The six-minute opener, "Angel of Death," doesn't measure up to past Lizzy epics, while the title track fails at trying to pull on the heartstrings with a tale about a misunderstood youth. The powerful Lizzy of old resurfaces briefly on such rockers as "The Pressure Will Blow," "Leave This Town," and "Hollywood (Down on Your Luck)," but the clean production almost neuters these potential heavy classics. A jazzy experiment, "Fats," proves to be an interesting one, but run-of-the-mill originals like "Mexican Blood" and "It's Getting Dangerous" far outnumber the highlights, making Renegade Lizzy's second disappointing release in a row. ~ Greg Prato
After the release of Renegade, Thin Lizzy's popularity dwindled considerably, but this 1982 album did fare well among other releases by Judas Priest and the Scorpions. It features "Angel of Death," "Hollywood," and the popular title track. ~ John Book

This is one of my fave Thin Lizzy albums; I love every song on here. The album was produced by Chris Tsangarides and the production is tight, crisp and clean. The tunes are infectious and you'll have them in your head all day after one or two plays!

REMASTERED???
first, this is an outstanding piece of work by thin lizzy. i was looking forward to hearing this remastered issue. however, i have a UK Vertigo 842 435-2 issue on disc which has better sound quality, heavier bass, and cleaner sound on the quiet sections. the only up side to this reissue is that it may, to some sound a touch crisper. but as for me, i gave it away and will continue to listen to my "OLD" copy.

Renegade album
 $6.65  
As a concept album, JOHNNY THE FOX has too murky a theme to be considered a true success. As a rock album, it stands with the best of Thin Lizzy's work. Released during the band's peak years (the mid- to late '70s), the album is highlighted by the twin guitar attack of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson and Lynott's ...

| | Thin Lizzy Black Rose CD (1979)
Renegade music CDs
$9.69
Hard rock quartet formed by Philip Lynott out of Dublin, Ireland. Thin Lizzy had numerous charting albums throughout the 70's & 80's. Black Rose was originally released in 1980. Featured guitarists are Gary Moore & Scott Gorham. 8 tracks. 2001 reissue.
Additional personnel includes: Bluesy Hughie (harp); Jimmy Bain (bass).
Recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris, France and Good Earth Studios, London, England.
Producers include: Tony Visconti, Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott.
Black Rose: A Rock Legend would prove to be Thin Lizzy's last true classic album (and last produced by Tony Visconti). Guitarist Brian Robertson was replaced by Gary Moore prior to the album's recording. Moore had already been a member of the band in the early '70s and served as a tour fill-in for Robertson in 1977, and he fits in perfectly with Lizzy's heavy, dual-guitar attack. Black Rose also turned out to be the band's most musically varied, accomplished, and successful studio album, reaching number two on the U.K. album chart upon release. Lizzy leader Phil Lynott is again equipped ...
| | Thin Lizzy Chinatown CD (1980)
Renegade songs
$9.69
While Thin Lizzy's previous release, Black Rose, was a focused, inspired hard rock masterwork, its follow-up, 1980's Chinatown, was a letdown. Guitarist Gary Moore was a major reason for the predecessor's success, but he quit during the subsequent tour (eventually replaced by ex-Pink Floyd touring guitarist Snowy White). Also, leader Phil Lynott and guitarist Scott Gorham were indulging heavily in hard drugs by this point, which was obviously taking its toll. And since producer Tony Visconti was not on board again, the lively production that played such a prominent part in the success of their past few releases was noticeably absent. The first side contains the best material: the anthemic "We Will Be Strong," the pop perfection of "Sweetheart," the obviously autobiographical drug tale of "Sugar Blues," plus the British hit singles "Killer on the Loose" and the title track. The second side, however, is comprised almost entirely of bland filler, such as "Having a Good Time," "Didn't I," and "Hey You." While it's not their worst album (that "honor" would go ...
| | Thin Lizzy Thunder And Lightning CD (1983)
Renegade album
$9.69
Digitally remastered by Eddie Shreyer & Brian Slagel (Future Disc).
Thin Lizzy's final studio release, Thunder and Lightning, was their most consistent album since 1979's Black Rose. Guitarist John Sykes replaced Snowy White, and the new blood must have inspired Lynott and company to write some of their best compositions in years. Although a pop-metal production hinders the tracks, there's more of a harder edge present than on their last release, Renegade. While the title track served as the ensuing tour's raging opener, half-baked lyrics detailing a fistfight and an unwarranted synth-solo weakens what should have been a straight-ahead rocker. But such heavies as "This Is the One" and "Cold Sweat" suit the band much better. Lizzy takes a stab at dance-rock with "The Holy War," while laying back with the tranquil "The Sun Goes Down" and the album's underrated highlight, the melodic "Bad Habits." Like Lizzy's other '80s releases, ...

1987's R.I.P. album represented a pretty inconspicuous start for Swiss trio Coroner -- one whose modest ambitions they would quickly outdistance on their way to morphing into one of thrash metal's all-time most adventurous bands. Guitarist Tommy T. Baron and drummer Marquis Marky had only recently quit their jobs as roadies for avant-thrashers Celtic Frost in order to join forces with vocalist/bassist Ron Ross and, their instant musical chemistry notwithstanding, the group was still trying to figure out a way to translate their shared virtuosity as players into comparable levels of songwriting inventiveness. Mere flashes of their potential were revealed ...

When an album is difficult to categorize, that is usually a positive thing; it means that the artist in question is striving for originality. Transcendental, the debut album by the part-British, part-Hungarian band To Mera, is such an album. This 2006 recording is metal, but To Mera do not pledge their allegiance to one type of metal exclusively. Instead, this complex, highly ambitious effort is probably best described as a blend of gothic metal, progressive metal and alternative metal. To Mera have some Dream Theater in their sound, but the haunting, goth-drenched lead vocals of Julie Kiss (formerly of Without ...
