| | Customer Reviews: Memories (17 December 2008)I remember having long hair and loving AC/DC. Just listened to this after many years. It's only Rock 'N' Roll but it's so great. Relentless beat - so cool it freezes everything in sight! Buy this and Highway To Hell (02 November 2008)Amazingly good album, every track is strong, no filler, very inspired, if you're new to AC/DC start here along with Highway To Hell. Glorious Bad Taste (26 October 2008)This album only happened because we lost Bon Scott. If you don't like heavy metal/heavy rock then you won't like this. However, if you do then it doesn't really get any better. Some bands have done records that are as good as this but after over twenty five years of listening to music in the area I'm struggling to think of any album that betters it. Quite simply A ROCKER! A true masterpiece! (21 October 2008)The fact that there are currently 68 reviews of this album shows what a classic this is. If there is one album where every song hits the spot its this one. It has to be in your collection. No excuses. Very, very good but really not their best effort (15 October 2008)Back in Black is now so ubiquitous it seems that every home actually has one. It has sold more than twenty million copies and you'd probably be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn't even heard of it. It was AC/DC's first album after the death of their previous, classic vocalist Bon Scott and was made with the blessing of Scott's family, with all concerned feeling that some kind of tribute was appropriate. And it is an excellent album. But it's not their best. After the masterwork that was Highway to Hell, producer Robert "Mutt" Lange directs this album into heavier territory. This is no bad thing, but as the album was recorded and released so quickly there is something of a sameiness about the tracks, and a couple of rather forgettable ones too, notably Let Me Put My Love Into You and Shake a Leg. However, Scott's replacement Brian Johnson shines on his DC debut and the band certainly fire on all cylinders on the classics Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, Hells Bells, Have a Drink On Me and the outstanding title track, gloriously defiant in the face of the loss of their former frontman. And Johnson was definitely the right choice as Scott's replacement. So, a mixed bag. Not the best AC/DC album ever but probably the most important. There were greater things behind them, but there were also greater things yet to come. |
