very good, though different
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.

The beggining of exellence
Duel leads, great back beat and Lynotts fantastic lyrics. The 70s never been better. Well not until Johnny the Fox maybe

Not Lizzy's Best
A largely subdued album, and a bit of a dropoff between Vagabonds of the Western World and the creation of the traditional Lizzy sound on Fighting, Night Life finds its best moment in the mournful blues of "Still in Love With You." But, for the most part, it doesn't live up to the rest of the Lizzy catalog.

Thin Lizzy's best anomoly
Thin Lizzy - Night Life, 1974. Probably more 4.5 stars than 5. To start out, by looking at any of the reviews for this album and then subsequently reading reviews for the rest of the band's output, it will be immediately obvious that this album is quite different from all the rest. This however, does not have to be a bad thing. The subdued nature of the entire album helps to bring out a romantic quality that is not touched upon in other recordings. Smooth, yet sensual, without being overly soft or cute; this is a record, that while it does certainly have its moments of intensity, is also one that a person who prefers to 'rock out' on occasion will not feel ashamed of listening to. From the ever catchy lead-off track, 'She Knows', to the light funk of 'Night Life', to a healthy dose of swagger in 'It's Only Money', there's a bit of something offered up in each track to keep you interest going throughout. It should also be noted that the interplay between the band is quite superb. Everyone seems to mention the twin guitar attack that is self-evident, but there is also a very capable rhythm section to back the guitarists, courtesy of Phil Lynott and Brian Downey. So if you're ever in the mood for the softer side of rock while avoiding the cheesy or sappy, and are already a fan of this band's more well-known records, I would not hesitate to give this one a shot.

the first with Robertson/Gorham
Gorham said, we were like a cocktail band, here the sound of the band is different, but you will listen still in love with you with Gary Moore, but I like more the live version, Night life is a good song, my favorite It's only money, great hard rock!
