Conceived while Lynott was hospitalized with hepatitis, the album blends cinematic street-poetry narratives with thunderous hard rock and funk-laced grooves. Highlights include the immortal hit single "Don't Believe a Word," the ferocious live staple "Massacre," the soulful twin-guitar ballad "Borderline," and the legendary funky breakbeat anthem "Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed."
