#THIN LIZZY CHINATOWN DOWNLOAD#
Worthy of any rock fan's collection, Chinatown is a solid album. 2-LP Holland Rock Rsd, High Quality, Download Code, Limited Edition 40th Anniversary newly re-mastered edition of Chinatown on 180 gram. Given these are the two worst songs on the album, they still have a surprising level of quality to them.Ĭhinatown is not an album to be slept on a good but not great release in the grand scheme of Thin Lizzy albums, but that is a class of music that is above what most other bands ever achieve. "Didn't I" isn't a bad song, but it just passes you by as it plays I wouldn't skip it, but I wouldn't search it down either. "Having A Good Time" comes off as Lynott singing out a mad lib he made while reading a rhyming dictionary it does as it says on the tin and it is a fun song, but it really feels like the band stumbled in from the pub and threw what they came up with onto the album. If you are a fan of the straight-up rock the band are known for, then "Killer On The Loose" and "Sweetheart" will be two more classics to add to your playlist. Uk Official Rock & Metal Albums Chart Top 40 THIN LIZZY THE ESSENTIAL 9.34 10.32 Comment. I find myself like a moth to flame when listening to the tracks "Sugar Blues" and "Hey You", two songs that have a hypnotic bass that draws you in before the rest of the band kick in and hold you in place. THIN LIZZY CHINATOWN (40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) 1.8.
The positive We Will Be Strong runs out at you with all guns blazing. White's blues-infused riffs are given their own style and not forced into the space vacated by Robertson and Moore. Chinatown is simply another nearly flawless Thin Lizzy album. Lynott's bass sits perfectly in the mix, underneath the guitars but still high in the mix so as to sound as a third guitar. The production has a warmth to it that plays perfectly to the songs on the album. Sonically, the band are close to firing on all cylinders or at the very least most of them. White's more refrained approach fits in well with the album, crafting some underrated guitar work on tracks like "Chinatown" and "Sweetheart". The band are still at the top of their game when it comes to playing, Downey showing off his skills on "Sugar Blues" with Lynott throwing in good bass licks and riffs across the album. Having released such stellar albums in the past, Thin Lizzy were unable to release good albums without them feeling like a let down. When the final notes of "Hey You" ring out, you will find yourself in a strange position liking the album and not finding that much to take umbridge with, yet knowing the band could do better. Chinatown was the start of the end of the band while it is not a bad album, it wasn't the strong stepping stone the band needed to find their feet and adjust themselves at the time. With Gary Moore leaving the band again, Thin Lizzy entered the 1980s with a new look, sporting two new members in Wharton and White behind the keyboard and guitar respectively. The label on the disk is likely to have minor wear and possibly writing on the label. Your least favorite song (Sugar Blues) would have sounded a lot better if Snowy's guitar tone was under the care of John Alcock or even Visconti himself.Īs far as the post-Robertson/post-Moore recordings goes, this one rarely sees the light of day anymore. Visually this disk may have light visible wear, marks, and or hairlines. This leads me to think that a different producer would have made this a better album. Technically it is great, but it doesn't 'pop' compared to their previous albums.
Also, the drum track is a little 'bland'. In chinatown You better look around Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in chinatown Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in chinatown Laughing and crying you know it's a fact They're not laughing they are crying 'Cause they won't be back Oh no you don't come back Not from chinatown Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down. I don't know why everybody beats up on Snowy White? If the producer wanted a 'heavier' distorted sound, I am sure that he would have complied. Chinatown je desiaty túdiový album írskej rockovej skupiny Thin Lizzy.Vylo v októbri 1980 prostredníctvom Vertigo Records a spolu s lenmi skupiny ho produkoval Kit Woolven.Oproti predchádzajúcemu albumu dolo k zmene na poste druhého gitaristu, ktorým je na tomto albume Snowy White. He didn't age that much, but his voice sure took a beating. Listen to this album and then go back only 3 years to Bad Reputation and compare. I really don't care about his drug habit, but it did impact his voice a lot. Found out later that the 'stuffy' sound was due to his abuse of cocaine and ? drugs. The thing that bothers me the most about this album is the quality of Lynott's voice.
