CD ReviewsStraight-up Thin Lizzy-style material 12/26/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "If you are a Thin Lizzy fan you'll enjoy this album. If you're not you won't. Strength: the Lizzy guitar sound, from one of its architects, Brian Robertson, whose project this is. Weaknesses: the singing and, even though it's expected, the cliched lyrics, especially on the first song, which is about that depressingly overused heavy metal topic, the plight of the American Indian. The CD has two bonus tracks from a concert in Japan that aren't that good." Worth getting for Brian Robertson's guitar playing sir_isaac_newton | UK | 05/15/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "Songs on the album reminded variously of Thin Lizzy, Boston, the Beatles and Super Tramp. Although the songs are polished and professional there are no obvious "blockbusters" and the vocals seemed bland (perhaps Phil Lynotts cool distinctive tones could have given the necessary lift?). However, this album does sound pretty good in spite of that. I enjoyed listening to it straight away -- mainly I think for Brian Robertson's guitar playing. His playing seems always to be tasteful, fresh and exciting. The 2 new bonus live tracks at the end are fun: Rocky Mountain Way (Eagles?) & Saturday Night. One of the songs seemed a bit more pop than I would have expected (like Thin Lizzy plays "Video Killed the Radio star") - not bad though." A forgotten gem Music Fanatic | Bettendorf, IA United States | 02/06/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I had never heard this band, but got the cd because of the impressive lineup of the band. I'm very glad that I did. This cd is solid from start to finish. It sounds a lot like Robertson era Thin Lizzy with just a touch of Chapman era UFO. The songs are about middle of the road in terms of intensity--not as hard as the best Lizzy rockers, but not as poppy or mellow as Thin Lizzy sometimes got. It's not a NWOBHM album; it's a rock album--and a very good one at that. This is absolutely essential for any fans of Brian Robertson or 70's Thin Lizzy. I would also recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys late 70s rock."
