A harrowing record filled with emotional tension, personal strife, and caustic lyrics, Richard and Linda Thompson's 1982 classic Shoot Out the Lights is a thematic statement of a marriage gone bad. Not coincidentally, it was made while the British duo's own marriage was heading South, which makes it one of the most unsparing, honest, and penetrating break-up albums ever committed to tape.

Per usual, Richard's guitar playing is revelatory, and the pair's singing is rich with dread, loathing and sarcasm. Everything from the arrangements to the songwriting transcends eras.
