Nightlife by Thin Lizzy, released in 1974, marks a pivotal shift in the band’s sound. It’s their first album with the classic lineup featuring guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. Unlike the hard rock edge that would define later releases, Nightlife leans into smoother, soulful textures, blending elements of funk, jazz, and balladry. Tracks like “Still In Love With You” and “She Knows” highlight Phil Lynott’s emotional depth and storytelling prowess, while “Sha-La-La” and “It’s Only Money” hint at the twin-guitar rock sound soon to come. It’s a moody, introspective album that reveals the band's evolving identity.
