""Thin Lizzy's last great record is Black Rose" is one of the most incorrect statements ever spoken. This album is top to bottom brilliant, and nearly perfect. Is it as good as Black Rose, Jailbreak, and Bad Reputation? I would put it as a near equal, and I guarantee that, over time, I will put it..."""Thin Lizzy's last great record is Black Rose" is one of the most incorrect statements ever spoken. This album is top to bottom brilliant, and nearly perfect. Is it as good as Black Rose, Jailbreak, and Bad Reputation? I would put it as a near equal, and I guarantee that, over time, I will put it as equal. There isn't a bad track to be found on here, and every song has something that I absolutely love about it (even if the song, itself, isn't perfect).
This record has a phenomenal atmosphere that is particularly present on tracks like "The Sun Goes Down" and the title track, which are two EXTREMELY different songs. This album does have a bit of a noticeable metal influence, but it doesn't prevent it from having a classic Lizzy sound with some classic Lizzy riffs.
Best tracks: "Thunder and Lightning", "This is the One", "Someday She is Going to Hit Back", and "Heart Attack"."[+]Reply

I think this comparison is offensive to Fred Durst's musical genius. Humanity still hasn't been able to top this perfect album and I highly doubt it ever will.

"More hit or miss than The Zombies' later pop masterpiece, Odessey and Oracle, their debut still has plenty of wonderful songs, including the breathy, infectious hit "She's Not There," the somber, ethereal "I Remember When I Loved Her," the great little rave-up "What More Can I Do," the catchy "I ...""More hit or miss than The Zombies' later pop masterpiece, Odessey and Oracle, their debut still has plenty of wonderful songs, including the breathy, infectious hit "She's Not There," the somber, ethereal "I Remember When I Loved Her," the great little rave-up "What More Can I Do," the catchy "I Can't Make Up My Mind," and a beautiful, definitive version of Gershwin's "Summertime." Nothing else on here is terribly special, but it hardly mattered; this was before the era of album-oriented rock, and LPs were pretty much released to capitalize on the success of singles—in this case, "She's Not There." The U.S. version of this record, simply called The Zombies, dropped a few of the lesser covers and added two great originals: the single "Tell Her No" and the rocker "It's Alright With Me." That version: 85/100. The Zombies, after their initial success, would flounder for years, putting out clever, underappreciated singles, before their brilliant swan song, Oracle. Their leader, Rod Argent, would go on to found the prog-rock band Argent and have a big hit in the seventies with "Hold Your Head Up.""[+]Reply

This is a great album because of the variety of styles and different elements of the music genre. It’s amazing how some of the songs swing from one side of the rock scale to the other. I consider all nine tracks exceptional with Rocky Mountain Ways leading the way."[+]Reply

Ras Michael aka Dadawah has a big heart. He feels, like few others, the suffering of the repressed. He's a true empath. And his mourning and sadness and empathy for all the repressed people of the world lives in his voice and and in his songs. But, these songs are far from sad. They're triumphant. For this is a deeply religious and spiritual album. One that essentially echoes Jesus in that the meek and oppressed will eventually rise above and inherit the Earth. For Nas (his religion’s name for God) is on their side. That with perseverance and faith, the multitude will overcome their oppression. That the walls of hatred and fear and ignorance will tumble before their triumphant and joyful love. For love is the answer. No matter what the question. No matter how you’ve been wronged. And through this love for Nas and for yourself, the sheep can and will turn into the lion. And then and only then will you truly be free.
Grade: A+. This is my favorite reggae album. I’m no Jimmy Dread. I’m no expert. Going to college with a bunch of prep school boys who literally force fed me Bob Marly’s Legend a zillion times (there was seriously no escaping it. It echoed through the freshman dorms like some kind of zombified monster) stifled my reggae growth good and proper back in my late teens. But, I’m now a late bloomer and, with the help of Jimmy, I’m beginning to see the light. I believe it was actually Hayden who turned me onto this particular record though way back when. And she’s a keeper. This is the album I play when I need to rise above.
For this is one of the most spiritually uplifting albums I’ve ever heard. The purity of Dadawah’s faith and vision comes bellowing out of the speakers and literally has the power to lift you up, take you out of your small, self-absorbed world and connect you to something far bigger than yourself - the global human struggle. It enables you to shake off the paralysis of self pity and realize that suffering is not a unique experience. That it is universal. And that most importantly, you can do something about it. You can sing. You can drum. You can believe. In Nas. In yourself. And thereby rise above and walk with the lions. And this powerful album roars itself all the way to number 3. "[+]Reply
"The first three songs on this album set the standard for Mellencamp, which he couldn't match either on this album or his following efforts. Still encapsulated in those 3 songs is some terrific rock and roll."Reply
"Worthy follow up to "Vivid". "Type" and "Solace of You" are two of the best tracks these guys ever did. It's a pity they disappeared not long after this was released."Reply

A few of us are still around that remember the group as they burst on to the scene during the Summer of Love. The group is not in the tainted RRHOF for "Stayin' Alive" By the time the band scored their first #1 single "Massachusetts", released on their next LP "Horizontal", the lads had been at it for 10 years."[+]Reply
