![]() ![]() ![]() The excellent guitar work of Gorham and Sykes makes up for this to some degree though but overall it's a poor track very early on in the track listing. Unfortunately the album takes a sharp dip after this with the clumsy This Is the One stumbling along with a slight off-kilter rhythm seemingly a stretch too far for Phil to pace with and at times the track almost feels like the lyrics are somehow a word or two short forcing other words to be stretched out uncomfortably. Lynott's gruff vocal delivery complimenting the fast-paced track well. The album does open strongly with the title track stomping its authority early on with its stomping keys teeing things up nicely. You have to sit through some nonsense also unfortunately. Overall it is a patchy affair with the odd snippet of catchy brilliance and well played hard rock music to give the listener some flashes of what once was. Lynott's last album is not a high point by any means. Things have gone off the boil a tad with Chinatown and Renegade and so we are on a downward spiral now, right? Actually, half right. 1983 and album number twelve for Lizzy and by this point we have already had the likes of Nightlife, Fighting, Jailbreak, Johnny The Fox and the superb Black Rose. ![]()
