Music reviews of Night Life
Music Review: very good, though different
Rating: 4 Stars
Night Life is perhaps the most mellow album Thin Lizzy ever made. It seems every moment of the album just doesn't ROCK out. However, I think with time, you'll learn to appreciate the mellow style of the album and maybe, just maybe (even though it's a stretch) come around to think it's a classic just the heavier Thin Lizzy albums.
The albums main obvious flaw is that it sounds exactly like a mid 70's rock album by Eric Clapton, the Eagles, or even Santana. Like I've always said though- what counts the most is the songwriting, and luckily that has remained just as solid as ever.
"She Knows" is my favorite song from the album. The way those vocals seem to sail calmly and peacefully as the verse melody rolls on... just brilliant. "Night Life" is a great little mellow bluesy song, though if I keep using the word "mellow" I'll get bored fast! The entire album has a soft feel. This song is seriously one that gets better the more you listen to it.
"Still in Love With You" features some rather underrated guitar playing, maybe similar to Santana, maybe not. Good vocals too. "Frankie Carroll" has a haunting vibe, with nice piano playing. Never heard Thin Lizzy attempt something like THAT before. "Showdown" is just groovy, and I love it.
"Banshee" reminds me of an instrumental the Allman Brothers Band would create (no song in particular) and that's a GREAT thing in my book. "Philomena" is a fast and heavy Irish-sounding song, which makes sense since the band came from Ireland. Probably the heaviest song on the album. I think you'll like the verse melody. It's really good.
"Dear Heart" is a nice way to close out the album, though not a highlight for me. I don't know, the strings sound a bit cheesy, and the vocals are hard to make out (along with the guitar playing near the end) but it's a nice song despite that. Might help to be a Neil Diamond fan to really appreciate the sound of the song though.
Overall, good album, not a classic, but it's worth buying without giving it a second thought.
