✅ Overall Recommendation

This is a standout release for Thin Lizzy fans and audiophiles. The acoustic reinterpretations, combined with rich multi-channel mixes, give new life to familiar material. Even in stereo, the performances sound intimate and refined, but if you have a surround/Atmos setup, this disc truly shines. The bonus track and instrumental versions make the package even more compelling.
