Now before I start this review I have to admit, on hearing this album for the first time I thought Brian Johnson's vocals were way to shrieky and high pitched in places and this almost immediately turned me off the album. However on second listen I realsied just how good a vocalist this guy was, how EFFECTIVE a vocalist he is and actually focused on the songs; boy was I blown away. I had listened to "perfect" (or as close to "perfect" as any album can really get) albums before, but even so, the quality and sheer power of this album stunned me, as I am sure it will continue to do for many more people out there.

" He is unique, we don't want someone that would just be a Bon wannabe". These were the words -with the present tense- Angus Young used for his friend Bon Scott during a press conference in 1980.The whole world was learning the death of the legendary and brilliant singer Ronald Belford Scott, 33 years old, by suffocation. Dismay was ib the place, and yet Angus, Malcolm, Cliff and Phil decided to continue the trip ACDC, encouraged by the parents of the defucnt singer.But how can one go on when he's just lost a friend, a brother? The answer was brought up by a kid from Newcastle. Brian Johnson, who was until then the lead singer in Geordie, quickly integrated the bandthat came back to work and released the same year Back In Black, their balck album. Read more ›› |

Written by X-Ray Rod on 02.08.2012 at 20:30 In that case, I'd say carry on, because that's more than accurate.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 02.08.2012 at 20:30 But then again Razor's Edge is totally NOT a classic AC/DC album  And Back In Black was their last truly good one.

For me this album is the finest example of dirty and hard rock'n'roll filled to the brim with smashing hits. Indeed, "rock'n'roll ain't noise pollution".

AC DC are of those bands that for me they had one nice song in the form of hit, in every album. So only a compilation would be strong enough as an album, which is not actually an album. Rating them is difficult for me.

Even your average Hollywood actresses love AC/DC. A class act that everyone, their dog and granny can sing along to. The word play in the song back in black would make Jay Z himself envious.

One of my most played albums in the old days. Now when I listen to it, some songs aren't exactly my AC/DC favourites -- #3, #4 and #9 do almost nothing to me. Nevertheless one of my favourite albums from year 1980.

AC/DC's best and one of the greatest rock albums of all time IMO. 9.2/10 for me - "Hells Bells", "Shoot To Thrill", "Back In Black", and "You Shook Me All Night Long" are the standout tracks, while "What Do You Do For Money Honey", "Given The Dog A Bone", and "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" are all also great. "Shake A Leg" is the weakest song.

Written by gavdann on 19.01.2022 at 12:43 well, at least best with Brian on vocals. To me it's an all killer no filler album. I like a couple of albums with Bon Scott more, but Back in Black is up there with the best.

The only album under the Brian era I really liked, I've always preferred their 70's work, it just sounded more bluesy too me back then, which I preferred, and Angus had better solo's then. But this album is just full of classic songs, with no fillers whatsoever.

Some excellent tracks as usual, but I've always thought the album as a whole is overrated, much like the others.
