Every band has their low ebb, and for AC/DC, that (dis)honour falls on 1985's Fly On The Wall. It is surprising how far AC/DC could sink but sink they did; drowning in awful production and poor quality songs, Fly On The Wall hit lows that thankfully the band would not hit again. To address the biggest and most evident problem on the album first, the production on Fly On The Wall is simply crap. The amount of echo and reverb the songs have plastered to them just ruin the charm that AC/DC songs have. AC/DC are a riff-driven band; name any classic track and you will remember the song's riff. While Let There Be Rock was an unconcise distorted album, it worked because it was the sheer unhinged volume that shook the music and consequently the listener that gave it a raw charm. For Fly On The Wall this unconcise sound is a result of overproduction that makes the sound murky and does not allow you to clearly hear the music properly. Read more ›› |

This album caught a lot of flack but the first 5 songs are pretty good songs. I take this over Blow up your Video anyday.

This is almost utter crap of an album; AC/DC at it's worse I think. Songwriting is taken for granted, and when there isn't even one real good song to copy -- the songs do sound almost all same -- and it's not good one song ten times... The last song is probably my favourite here -- and no, not only because after it the album is over.

Definitely a guilty pleasure album for me. It does have a lot of strong songs on it, but I get why this album gets so much shit though. There's too many songs here that could've been great AC/DC songs if Brian Johnson hadn't sounded like crap in them. I feel like this could've been one of been one of the better AC/DC albums, but blew it with terrible production.
