List All 8 Reviews The best band ever
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.

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.

my fav album
this album is my fav, cause it has the best guitar riffs from the Irish guitar band. South Bound and Dancing in the moon light show what i mean...
