"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

"The guys managed to reborn the spirit of the Irish stars! It does not matter that the sound is a bit heavier, but the rest is reproduced
with the maximum exactness including specifics of the guitar sound. If you want to get to know Rude Awakening's music, it is not the album to start with.
But it is a very useful collection record for all lovers of Thin Lizzy and good music in general." -- Speed N Power.com

"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
