"An Ocean Of Masterpieces"--Metal Perspective

"Emerald was so perfect it almost made me weep... Lynott himself would have approved"--PyroMusic.net

"After I listened to the CD I felt as if I had been to a Lizzy concert!"--Philomena Lynott

"Phil would approve..." --Metal-Temple.com

"Sounds nice, instrumentally really good" -- Strutterzine

"A nice homage--it's tough to find fault with this record!" --Metal Archives

"This is a great collection and sincere tribute to one of the true pioneers of hard rock"- Hard Rock Haven

"Sounds awesome. All the classic harmony leads are in place and singer Mitch Urban pulls off one hell of a Phil Lynott - Metal Observer

"I have to admit I actually liked some renditions and enjoyed listening to the album a great deal!" --ROCKREPORT.BE

"The result is a thirteen track collection of some of the best Thin Lizzy tracks, including those well-known and not so well-known,
performed by a band that not so much wants to emulate the classic band's sound but DUPLICATE it. Every track on this tribute CD
is played note-for-note how the original band played it and it's played well. It's almost as though the original band was around
to to re-record these tracks with modern equipment and just a little more distortion in the guitars." --ROUGHEDGE.COM

"Soaring, scathing and melodic, this CD can have your ears peeled back. A competent,
rocking tribute to the Irish mega-group of the 70's." --Reviewer Magazine

"It's an album of which even Phil Lynott would be proud" --Thoughts Of Metal

"This album isn't a joke. Maybe Rude Awakening knows something I don't!" --MetalForge.com

"Delivers high quality interpretations consistently throughout" --All Access Magazine

"The production is perfect and they play the songs the way they were meant to be played and this is just ass kickin rock n roll
from one of the most criminally ignored bands of the 70's/80's. Phil would be proud guys and
you brought a smile to my face too. This is an awesome release!"-- Metal Core

"Rude Awakening's versions are really all class and sound very near to the original" --Sleaze-Metal.com

"Accurately and truly represents the songwriting and performance values
of the original Irish band." --Rock Aces

"Rude Awakening are a tight veteran act that breathe a new life and sound
into some music that influenced so many"--heavymetalresource.com

"Very good tribute album"--MelodicRock.com

"Rude Awakening seems to find their natural home with these brilliant songs. The pumped-up production
gives some of the songs that extra bit of beef they lacked in the old days..." --Rock United

"If you're a hardcore Thin Lizzy fan then you'd probably want this one in your collection too..." --Blabbermouth.net

"Yeah, I enjoyed it. More than once. I don’t think I’d admit to a half dozen times,
even if… well, actually seven times." --Martin Popoff, Bravewords and Bloody Knuckles

"I just listened to the entire CD and I love every bit of it!" --Doc Tremor Radio Show, KTSTFM.com
