Description

As a huge Thin Lizzy fan, I felt compelled to write a review of this seminal album. The other reviewers have quite justably laden this album with five stars, but I do feel a note of caution is necessary. The first Lizzy album I bought was Jailbreak, unquestionably one of the true, great rock'n'roll masterpieces of our time. So I purchased Black Rose with sheer anticipation, only to be slightly dissappointed after listening to it through a few times. This is because the songs need more exploration than the Jailbreak tracks which stand out on the first listen. There is more depth and emotion tomore… Lynott's songwriting on this album than any other, and it takes time to fully comprehend and appreciate the true genius of this collossul album. For me, the two best songs are 'Got to give it up' and the monstrous title track. It is here we see how truly incredible and underrated Lynott is as a singer. The passion and pain which he injects into his voice are unrivalled, and the way he croons about his love for his celtic heritage hits you on a new emotional level each time you hear it. The sad reality, though, is that depite the ever-present image we have installed in our minds of the grinning, leather-clad Lynott, with his nigh-perfect dentistry, Lynott was actually pouring his heart out in those songs, and the hindsight of his death in 1986 emphasises the power this remarkable record posesses.
