8.1 		With Gary Moore leaving the band again, Thin Lizzy entered the 1980s with a new look, sporting two new members in Wharton and White behind the keyboard and guitar respectively. Chinatown was the start of the end of the band; while it is not a bad album, it wasn't the strong stepping stone the band needed to find their feet and adjust themselves at the time.

Great album again. Not much to say about this one, except that the songs are generally speaking rather great than not. The favorites would be "Chinatown", "Genocide" and "Hey You".
