Can't disagree with that, if someone asks me which Thin Lizzy album they should check out I always say Bad Reputation.

About Brian Robertson, the reason he's not featured on the cover or didn't write any songs on the album isn't just because of his hand, they did actually fire him shortly before they went into the studio because of his alcoholism being a problem. Eventually he convinced them that he had it under control and they let him rejoin towards the end of the albums completion as a session / touring musician rather than a full band member (Which explains the cover) basically telling him 'Screw up again and you're gone for good'. Which he did during the tour so they got rid of him for good.
