Bad Reputation  by Thin Lizzy

Thin Lizzy as a band was formed in 1969. The 1977 album Bad Reputation was the band's eighth studio album (!), but it was the last album in which guitarist Brian Robertson participated - partially. In the production of the record, we find Tony Visconti.

Bad Reputation is one of those albums for which the only description that fits is "a typical and characteristic hard rock album of the 1970s." Nothing less, nothing more (!) The band is at an excellent moment, and the compositions of the album compete with each other. Despite the fact that Robertson was almost absent from most of the creation of the album, the other guitarist Scott Gorham managed to accomplish the difficult task of recording the largest part of the guitar parts of the record by himself.

Bad Reputation never achieved the commercial success that Jailbreak did, but the compositional and performance strength of Thin Lizzy has reached its peak. Due to its sales, the album went gold in the United Kingdom and reached No. 4 on the charts, while in the U.S. it went up to No. 59.
