Thin Lizzy - Renegade [Emerald Green]

With Renegade, Thin Lizzy stepped into the 1980s firing on all cylinders. Originally released in 1981, this underrated gem finds Phil Lynott and crew pushing their hard rock roots into darker, moodier territory – and the result is a swaggering, riff-heavy album that doesn’t get nearly enough love. Now available on vinyl, it’s time this renegade had its redemption.

The album kicks off with the brooding punch of “Angel of Death,” where epic keyboards meet snarling guitars in a track that feels both cinematic and gritty. “Hollywood (Down on Your Luck)” brings the hooks and attitude, while “Leave This Town” channels restless energy into one of Lizzy’s catchiest choruses. And let’s not sleep on “The Pressure Will Blow” – a track that practically begs to be cranked up loud.

Renegade may not have been a chart-topper, but it’s a cult favorite for a reason. It’s bold, unapologetic, and full of that unmistakable Thin Lizzy edge – with Lynott’s lyrical storytelling and emotional range at the heart of it all.

Pressed to vinyl for that warm analog bite, this edition is a must-have for fans of classic rock done with style, soul, and serious guitar chops. Don't miss this deep-cut treasure.
