Negative Positive
Title: Phil Lynott rolls over in his grave.
Review: There are enough other reviews to tell you what to expect from this release. I actually like it, but can only give it one star out of principal. Here's why: two songs sound straight off of Thin Lizzy's "Renegade" album (1981.) Listen for yourself. Play TL's song "Mexican Blood", then play "Marie" from this disc. Sound a little familiar? Next, spin TL's song "Renegade", then play "The Thing About That". Don't they have exactly the same chords and progression? These aren't just three-chord, 1-4-5 songs, either. Only the words and tempos differ to my ears.Too bad. There are some great songs here. I just find it too much of a coincidence to have two songs on the same cd that sound so much like two songs from another band's album released over a decade earlier.
Is the review positive or negative?
