 (8 Customer Reviews)
Irish rock outfit Thin Lizzy gained worldwide status with its summer anthem, "The Boys Are Back in Town," a Springsteen pastiche of summer nights, male bonding, and the occasional fist fight or two. Although the band never released another single that equaled its impact, Thin Lizzy was enjoying both a commercial as well as creative peak during the mid- to late '70s. BAD REPUTATION is arguably the band's last "great" album. The radio-ready single, "Dancing in the Moonlight" is nearly as winning as the aforementioned "Boys" and the pumping title track is a classic Thin Lizzy mixture of twin guitars, bravado, and a dash of menace. Although singer Phil Lynott had a habit of crossing over into overblown machismo, more often than not the soulful tear in his voice along with the band's signature twin melodic guitar lines elevated the material beyond mere lunkhead chest pounding.
Thin Lizzy: Phil Lynott (vocals, bass); Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham (guitar); Brian Downey (drums).

This album is a rock masterpiece where phil,brian,scott,and brian fire on all cylinders."Soldier of fortune" is a war rock classic,then you have the title track in which brian downey is pounding the drums away,then you have "opium trail" when the guitar rhythm during the verses is legendary.Plus rest of the tracks which makes this album legendary.Best guitar solos and vocals from the greatest band ever.I mean ever!

No Filler !!!
Despite the claims of an past review here ( S. J. ) ' Bad Reputation ' most certainly does NOT contain filler. There are- as in MOST classic Lizzy albums- outstanding tracks, and ' secondary ' tracks. Both ' Jailbreak ' and ' Johnny the Fox ' have outstanding tracks, and secondary tracks. Is ' Romeo and the Lonely Girl ' as GREAT as ' Warrior ? ' Answer: No. Is ' Boogie Woogie Dance ' as GREAT as ' Borderline ? ' Answer: No. Lynott and his mates have ALWAYS written ' sensitive ' and ' folksy ' songs alongside ripping rockers- going back to the ' Fighting ' album. There is nothing new about that. Thin Lizzy- in their prime- were a hard rock band who ALSO crafted slower- paced, highly melodic, insightful, ' acoustic ' numbers with a soulful, folksy element to them, as in ' Downtown Sundown ' ( in my opinion- a minor ' pop ' masterpiece. ) ' Dear Lord ' is one of Lynott's more dramatic, personal songs, and is an excellent track- altho admittedly ' secondary ' to ' Southbound ' or ' Opium Trail '. This is an unforgettable and truly amazing listen from beginning to end.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great But Not Complete
With the exceptions of 'Jailbreak' and 'Johnny The Fox', Lizzy never really made a completely brilliant studio album, from start to finish. Similar to 'Vagabonds', 'Fighting', 'Black Rose' and 'Thunder and Lightning', this contains many wonderful tracks but also some filler.
As a genuine hard rock band, should Lizzy have been making songs like 'Downtown Sundown' and 'Dear Lord'? I don't think so. In spite of that, this is an excellent listen and Lynott's songwriting is as strong as ever on 'Soldier of fortune', the title track, 'Opium Trail', 'Southbound', and 'Dancing in the moonlight', a big hit single in Europe but, strangely, not in America. My favourite track is 'Killer without a cause', a fierce effort featuring some stellar guitar work from the returning Robbo.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No I always come back to this album!
This is Lizzy at it's best! An album that has stood the test of time. I first bought it in 1977 when I was freshman at Clemson, my roommate was so impressed with this album that he almost stole it from me! Through the years this album has grown in stature.
Lizzy was one of those bands that was way ahead of it's time. This LP proves it.

| | Thin Lizzy Renegade CD (1981)
Bad Reputation songs
$9.69
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 ...
| | Thin Lizzy Thunder And Lightning CD (1983)
Bad Reputation album
$10.65
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 ...

| | Kotipelto Coldness CD (2004) Bonus Track; Japan; Enhanced CD
Bad Reputation album
$37.25
Scandinavian rock band, Kotipelto, released COLDNESS in 2004.
With the manic "Seeds of Sorrow," which opens his second solo album, 2004's Coldness, with a flurry of notes and flailing of limbs, Finnish vocalist Timo Kotipelto and his self-named backup band make a good case for those who argue that power metal is nothing but pop music performed at hyper speed and in the highest registers imaginable. But, surprisingly, the rest of this album is relatively scarce on pop-thrashers ("Can You Hear the Sound" being the only other example) -- making way instead for a bevy of slower hard rockers like standouts "Reasons," "Snowbound," and "Coldness in My Mind." That's a good thing too, as the latter are far more suited to Kotipelto's voice -- a still-magnificent instrument capable of electrifying even the dullest of power metal exercises. One such showcase is the particularly inspired "Journey Back," but, conversely, the album's only power ballad, "Take Me Away," is strangely disappointing for failing to reach the necessary drama and emotion that would set it apart from its surroundings. Other than that, it's safe to say little has changed in Kotipelto's sonic direction since his departure from power metal heavyweights Stratovarius. The band that bears his name carries on in much the same, melodic metal tradition, without taking as many forays into classical music overkill or progressive rock (semiepic closer "Here We Are" is ...
