Reviews (page 10 of 14)
A couple of classics, but I never realized how much the rest of AC/DC's catalog sounds pretty much identical to each other. They're not bad, but they're not great. As an album, OK.
Pas pire. Pas pire écoeuré du gros rock itou.
A lot of it sounds very similar, but it is good fun. A couple of the songs shake it up a little. Highway to Hell is a classic. Struggling to choose a rating as I did enjoy it, but I think I would get bored very quickly with how similar it is. Settling for a 3 because while the energy is good, I can't see myself putting the album on again. Fav song: Highway to Hell Least fav: Love Hungry Man
A lot of it sounded pretty much the same to me, not necessarily bad just the same. Favourite: Highway to Hell Least: Walk All Over You
I stopped drinking and smoking then my interest in ac/dc waned. Think there’s a connection?
High energy. Don’t love the womanizing undertone of some of the lyrics but definitely surprised me that I liked it better than I thought I would.
10 or whatever times the same song.
Is this band consistent, or one idea run into the ground? Either way, I guess this is the one to hear. I was not expecting a Mork from Ork reference at the end of Night Stalker. That did not age well.
This was a 2 but then my son started dancing loads to it and it was lovely so it gets an extra one.
I feel about this album as I feel about Back in Black. Namely, some deceptively simple yet iconic hooks, with a great stadium sound, great rock vocal, but the occasional tendency to drop into the formulaic rock n roll riffing of ZZ Top, despite an evident lack of pretension. I am not particularly interested in coming back to this album, the way I might Back in Black. Title track sure, and 'Love Hungry Man's is a treat. The rest is very proficient, and they have hit upon a sound that they could exploit for several more years.
Not as beloved for me as High Voltage, but still fun. Got pulled over for speeding once while blasting Highway to Hell, so I’ll always giggle at that memory.
Higway to hell is pretty good atleast, don't like ACDC tho. bon scott much cooler than brian Will I listen to again: 19%
I always found AC/DC an interesting phenomenon. On the one side, they can be fun, real fun. On the other side they are repetitive and boring like hell. If there is one group on the planet that is repetitive, then those hard rock minimalists. Highway to hell is no exemption. Individual songs are fun, the record as a whole never gets full rotation. It took me years to finally have listened to all songs and simply use it as a repository for one or the other song if I am to listen to them. It is their best outing, imho, but nonetheless....
Not something I would ever listen to again but I can respect it
Eh… not my fav AC/DC album. This is last with Bon Scott, first produced by Mutt Lange, but I don’t really love most of these songs. 3 great songs: 1. Night Prowler 2. If You Want Blood 3. Maybe Shot Down in Flames In general, I live AC/DC. If I was at a live show I could listen to them play this album back to back to back. As a singular listening experience these days… it’s a touch too much.
Title track is always fun. Girls Got Rhythm is not bad but his terrible voice was distracting. It sounds like he's trying to sound hard but not quite getting it? Same on Walk All Over You. The rest of the songs are fun - nothing crazy standout. Sidenote - had NO idea they were from Australia so that blew my mind!
There are some bangers on this album, but it is also pretty repetitive. I might return to this someday, but that also depends on my mood and the occasion.
This is a pretty solid album. Maybe not their best, but definitely not their worst.
It is a classic but don't feel like listening to the entirety of it ever again
6/10/ Sure why not lol
Some big hits but sounds too much the same.
Good, but not up to the standards of back in black
Not for me, but i will maybe play it one more time
Not the biggest AC/DC fan this was fine though
Well, it sounds like AC/DC alright. Ten big dumb slabs of ‘classic rock’, some of which are fun and irresistibly sing-along-able, and some of which are neither but somehow sound like the ones that are anyway. Definitely not as many bangers as Back In Black.
I feel like AC/DC figured out how to write one song well, so they did it over and over again changing almost nothing. By the end of this album I was definitely ready for something different but do have to give them credit for defining the sound that is undeniably theirs.
I had this before joining the group and my thoughts remain the same now, so I’ll just copy and paste them below: I don’t always listen to generic hard rock, but when I do, I want to listen to the legends of generic hard rock Editing this because I wanted to add some more thoughts. I feel like I have done a disservice to some bands by only knowing their greatest hits. The best example of this is David Bowie for me. Going into this project I only knew Ziggy Stardust and his greatest hits, but I did a deep dive into his back catalogue after listening to Blackstar and he's now one of my favourite artists with Blackstar being my favourite album from the project thus far. I can't believe the music I had missed out on! However, I don't feel the same about AC/DC. They're a perfect candidate for a greatest hits album. All the tracks sound pretty similar, so just give me the best of the best; you're really not missing much by only listening to the greatest hits. Favourite tracks: Highway to Hell, Beating Around the Bush, Night Prowler
came in expecting to be a hater but i quite enjoyed it
It's AC/DC. What more do I have to say. ⭐⭐⭐1/2
Good, but not my favorite AC/DC
You know how sometimes you hear a great song and think, wow, I sure hope the rest of the album is just like this! but it's usually not, because the band wants to explore styles or have a bit of variety. Not so with Highway to Hell - AC/DC knows what they're about and that's exactly what they're serving up for 41 minutes straight!
Look, they have like 2, super maybe 3, different songs. The most common is really good. The other on is really bad. But the ratio of good to bad is like 10:1. Two duds on this album (the last 2). But the really good aren't great, so in the end, it's a 3.
Listening to AC/DC always makes me feel like its 1984 and I'm 20 years old partying at my friend's parents' lake house. And I love that for me.
Hmm
Good record, even though I only know of one song. Still, a good one.
Die Songs sind sich schon sehr ähnlich. Aber es war nicht schlimm.
There's a lot to like here with the overall sound, but it comes off a bit repetitive to me.
I think my hottest music take is that I think AC/DC is probably the most overrated rock band ever. Let me be clear: I don’t hate them. I like some of their songs and they can be very catchy at their best. But they are repetitive as hell. Every song consist of some verses and a chorus that consists of repeating the title over and over again. And the songs will always be about rocking, fucking, and rocking while fucking. And every dad loves it and every granddad loves it and every classic rock station will play AC/DC a hundred times a day. It’s tiring. I give AC/DC this though; this is one of their best albums and it is the swan song of Bon Scott before his death. But I mainly mean that about Side A and Love Hungry Man on Side B. Those are songs that have the best energy and kick the most ass, which it was the band strives for. The other songs are the typical AC/DC stuff: repetitive and samey. Like I said, I don’t despise AC/DC. It’s just not for me and I’d rather listen to a majority of other rock bands from the seventies. But this is an iconic album for most people and it is worthy of at least a listen, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Or not. I’m just some rando on the internet. Don’t take me too seriously please. Favorite track: Highway to Hell (it’s catchy) Other hits: Girls Got Rhythm, Touch Too Much, Walk All Over You, Beat Around the Bush, Love Hungry Man
Some iconic anthems... mixed with some tolerable tracks. But still AC/DC deserves there flowers, nonetheless.
So very repetitive
6/10 It’s a solid album. I like AC/DC alright never been too too into them. This is a fine album with obviously a generational banger. Not much beyond that for me though
"Hold on, hold on, Bon, you know in Shot Down in Flames you start by singing "Out on the town - lookin' for a woman"" "Yeah, what are you getting at?" "Wel,l in the next song on the album, Get it Hot, the first line is "Goin' out on the town - just a me and you." "That's right." "Well maybe people will think we're a one trick pony if we're just yapping on about going out on the town over some head bopping blues rock riffs." "Nah mate, in the first one I don't have a woman YET, but in the other one I've already got the woman, so it's completely different." "Whatever, roll the tape..."
Ok. Great title track single, rest of it I can take or leave as I can with most of their output.
It was ok. Couple of nostalgic songs for me but feels a bit repetitive
I used to love AC/DC when I was a kid, but I feel like that's definitely faded in time. Still, there was something nostalgic about these riffs and Bon Scott's scratchy wails.
Good
When I’m listening to this during work, every song sounds like Thunderstruck and I get college PTSD - in this instance it’s a 2/5 I’ll give this the benefit of the doubt: If I were cruising my honda civic with the windows down on a sunny day it would be much better. Hypothetically I would give it a 3 or maybe 4 depending on where I’m driving. That being said this album does nothing to move me in any way and I will not revisit! I like the lame ass ZZ Top album better as a replacement 2.5 rounding up to 3 for Highway to Hell
I really do see how this was bad ass and cool when it came out. This album was “life changing” for my dad, just doesn’t hit the same anymore. Great guitar, great attitude, great songs, just heavily out classed by like 62 other bands that came decades later. Love highway to hell and beatin round the bush. Beatin round the bush is like if Van Halen was a good band. Lots of “didn’t I already hear this one?” to the point where the autoplay at the end of the album ran 3 more songs of theirs before I realized the album was already over.
This album reaffirmed my thoughts on AC/DC. Not good. I guess I can understand how they would have been hype back in the day, but they are just super boring to me. I've never really been excited when any of their songs comes on. The ONLY time I was excited to hear AC/DC was when Thunderstruck would come on in college and it gave me an excuse to guzzle alcohol faster than I was already doing. That song isn't even on this album. I'm giving this a weak 3 just because of their influence and popularity.
I think I'm just going to give hair and glam metal a standing 3/5 from now on. Yeah, yeah, AC/DC aren't hair metal, but AC/DC->NWOBHM->Def Leppard->sunset dtrip bullshit->Motley Crue, the lineage is there. Anyway 3/5 it rocks but in one specific way that doesn't get very interesting after the killer opener. Shazbot Nanu Nanu.
Decent album, expected more from it’s legendary status. By the end of the album the songs do begin to sound very samey unfortunately, and I would peg this down to the lack of melodic creativity. The energy is good, but I feel it lacks the fullness of what came to follow. Happy however to have finally listened to the full album front to back!
It's AC/DC alright. Never did like the lead singers voice, but the music bops. Thought Night Prowler was a good tune then Wikipedia said it was the "Night Stalkers" favorite tune and now I wonder what that says about me. All in all it's an ok album. Not my favorite from them though.
One friend said it's like 45m of the same song. I'd have to largely agree about all AC/DC albums. Some classics in here of course, but overall nothing thrilling to me.
This album rocks. But it would made a better soundtrack than it would an album to listen through straight. Go on a road trip, pick the track to match the setting, and you've turned your life into a rock and roll music video. A classic that sets the tone just right.
ACDC has the groove and the feeling, an awesome album but man those solos are almost all the same
Stereotypical heavy metal music. Very smooth sound. Sounds exactly like you expect it to sound. I enjoyed listening to it (on headphones) but it was nothing special.
3/5 all the songs sound similar, but it's a catchy rock and roll sound
Highway to Hell is a brilliant song. Rest are ok 3/5
Not as good as Back in Black, but a classic
Better than Coldplay
Not AC/DC fan at all. A lot of their songs are repetitive and IMO boring. But I can't lie their sound is distinguishable and you know what you're going to get when you listen to them. Their influence on so many other bands is huge.
I liked the girl's got rhythm. I wasn't really paying attention to the latter half, but I don't think the album made a huge impression on me overall. I do, however, understand how it's a classic for so many rock fans.
It was ok. Highway to Hell is an an obvious classic. I found the album all a bit samey. The one note is a good one, but one note nonetheless. I could probably reach across the entire AC/DC discography and compile one truly kick ass record...maybe a double even. I guess those are called greatest hits records, aren't they.
Just not for me. I get the artistry, the solos are sick, production dialed in. Can't quite get past the vocals and the subject matter I guess. I'm all for agressive music, i listen to a ton of it. It's just that this specific album is seemingly all sex lust and violence towards women as objects, which is a turnoff for me personally and doesn't make any of these an anthem for me. had no idea about their history and the loss of the lead singer
One of the best & original ACDC albums.
Pretty good. I enjoy the lead vocalists tone a lot, it feels in harmony with the band (similar energy, range, etc.) Also in regards to my criticism of the stevie wonder project having a massively popular song tucked in the middle of it, this project starting with a song that I'm already familiar with help to set the tone for the project which stayed largely consistent throughout. Still not exactly my genre of music, but as far as rock goes for me there is a lot here for me to enjoy.
First listen. One great title song and the rest is pretty standard fare. Just not varied enough for my tastes. An ok listen.
I don’t always listen to generic hard rock, but when I do, I want to listen to the legends of generic hard rock Favourite tracks: Highway to Hell, Beating Around the Bush, Night Prowler
Again, nice but highway is a bit overwhelming for my life at the moment. Music is a bit of a magical escape but rock is making the paradise look rather fiery. Alt rock seems ok tho
Screamy vocals are never going to be appealing to me, but I have to admit- this was super catchy! 🥲 I think I get why the AC/DC are so popular! Album rating: ⭐⭐⭐1/2
Never was much of an AC/DC fan, but at least you know what you're getting. This didn't disappoint.
Very decent bluesy rock & roll. I wouldn't call this metal (despite the squeaky vocals). I don't think this aims at being the climax of musical creativity, but it's fun and good at what it is.
good album but the songs are all very similar
Ensformigt
Sounded like phil collins on one song. Does the album end with someone saying "nanu nanu?
Fun like all AC/DC songs but I think one of their albums would be enough for this list.
It has a couple of classic songs: "Highway to Hell" and "Girls Got Rhythm". The rest of the album is OK. Interesting that this was Bon Scott's last album, and our other AC/DC album this week (Back in Black) was the first album with Brian Johnson, and also that their voices are kind of similar. Also interesting to read how Brian got the gig: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClassicRock/comments/17nwv3o/the_story_of_how_brian_johnson_became_the/
Liked highway to hell. Others were ok
Just ok.
It’s not bad but they repeated this sound for 50 years now. So it’s nothing special anymore.
if it was 1979 and i heard this freak's voice singing about being on the highway to hell, i would understand why people caused the satanic panic
No Back in Black but i love the trade mark sound of ACDC the stops the riffs. I even like later albums rock or bust for example.
It’s AC/DC; you know what you’re going to get. They do it well.
I have outgrown this type of music
I enjoyed this
it’s AC/DC you get what you expect, it’s fun for a couple of songs and those songs are great but it runs out of ideas pretty quickly.
To be sure, all the songs give the same vibe as highway to hell so it’s a good vibe, but I had a hard time picking any out cause of that. definitely an album I’d have to listen to again to find my favs
as soon as you hear the title track you know exactly what you’re letting yourself in for. A non-stop attack on the heavy brain cells not my cup of tea but definitely worth a listen.
This is seriously impressive how they managed to make every song sound identical. Something with the mixing of rock in this era makes everything mushy to me. It's okay. Not sure how Highway to Hell was picked as the hit over any of the other songs here.
I listened to this a couple times so I could pick out my favorite songs, but they all kind of start to sound the same. Wailing guitar, screeching vocals. This music almost feels like a caricature of itself now, but this was the OG, the real shit. I actually enjoy it though. I’d put this album on in the Summer by the lake when I’m trying to make friends and score free beers from the Gen X bros next to me.
Ight - few good songs but otherwise just kinda the routine rock album.
This is the AC/DC said father listens to (see S&M by Metallica Review) while drinking in the garage at 10am on a Saturday as the kids watch the Incredibles inside. I still love the title track, mainly because it annoys my Mum. Besides this, I don't understand how you can enjoy this kind of music once you give it more than 43% of your attention. There was better rock music available at the time, and better has come out since. I also think AkkaDakka didn't cram anything else in this album to be well known for. In other words, this is one of the AC/DC albums ever. Like I say, some people shop for music like they're buying a new car or house, others shop for it like they're buying a new kitchen spray & wipe.
The title track carries the first side, if not for musical merit then for the fact that every Australian has this song burned into their neural pathways. On a genuine musical assessment of this album, it is okay/good. Touch Too Much is really the only other song here I would go out of my way to listen to. On a cultural assessment, the impact that this band and album have had on Australian rock scene really can't be understated. Were it not for this album, Supercheap Autos around the country will fall silent. Jokes aside, it is a good album but you're really here for the title track. The rest of the album blends together in a samey, but enjoyable mash of noise. Highlights: Highway to Hell, Touch Too Much
AC/DC was my favorite band when I was about 9. I listened to a few of their albums, but this wasn't one of them. It's alright
Solid rock album that doesn't try to invent the wheel, at times it's really good(The title track), but there's not enough variation to keep me engaged on it. 5/10
rock that slowly morphs into a new color of white noise the longer you listen
I’ve never cared for AC/DC, and honestly, I still don’t. They write infectious hits, sure, but quite frankly, they’ve always struck me as a very boring band. Highway to Hell is often hailed as one of their best, a rock ‘n’ roll staple that helped define the genre, but to me, it’s a pretty bland and uninspiring listen. Let’s start with the positives. The title track is undeniably a banger. Straightforward, punchy, and designed to get stuck in your head whether you like it or not. The production is clean, the riffs are tight, and Bon Scott’s vocals have that raw, rebellious edge that fits the music perfectly. Tracks like Shot Down in Flames and If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) carry a fun, devil-may-care energy that makes them easy to throw on in the background. I can see why people love it. It’s built for stadiums, built for blasting at full volume, and built to be simple, effective rock music. But that’s just it. It’s too simple. Once you’ve heard one song, you’ve pretty much heard them all. The formula doesn’t change: big riff, basic drum beat, Scott’s raspy voice delivering lyrics about women, drinking, and rock ‘n’ roll. Rinse and repeat. There’s no real dynamism, no depth, nothing that really grabs me beyond the initial “Oh yeah, that riff’s kinda cool” reaction. By the time Love Hungry Man and Night Prowler roll around, I’m honestly just waiting for it to be over. I get the appeal. If you love straight-up, no-frills rock, this is a classic. But for me, Highway to Hell is just another AC/DC album: functional, predictable, and ultimately forgettable. 3/5.
6/10 Killer lead single and a serviceable Hard Rock album the rest of the way through I guess. Would work much better if you were drinking and smoking at a bar in the 80s but I’m too lazy to build a time machine. RIP Bon Scott, sucks you had to jinx yourself like that like I would’ve written a song about winning the lottery or something instead but fuck it bro its your life
Confesión: fuera de Highway to hell, se me hizo súper aburrido, cosa que ni de lejos me esperaba.
Run of the mill AC/DC
3/5 classic
👌🏻
harte kost, dieser hard rock. aber mit dem eröffnungsklassiker Highway To Hell und dem AC/DC-typischen sound geht die zeit im nu. nicht so mein geschmack.
I really liked it as a teen, but I’m totally over it now
The title track is a generational banger, and I like it as much as I did the first time I heard it. However, the other songs here are kind of more of the same but have less energy, less memorable lyrics, slightly worse riffs, and slightly worse solos. It's a really fun first listen, but the tracks just blend together—not a lot of replayability here. 7/10
ну одна песня ничо и все
3.5
Forty-one minutes of pure joy (except maybe for the creepy last song). A perfect antidote to the shitty weather and shitty news. I'm so used to hearing only the hits on the radio, so it was nice to listen to the entire album.
The backbeat could use a few more change ups every now and again, but Angus rips and Bon was giving it his all.
This album starts strong and rocks pretty solidly the whole way though, though the end hits different given my penchant for true crime.
I get why somebody would like this, it’s just not my jam.
Way better than Back in Black - it's still turn your brain off pub rock, but is far more adventurous
First listen. My father was fan of these people. I have only really listen to Back in Black, although I have heard the title track (of course). Not bad, not amazing.
Yeah unfortch jane was right. Pretty mid rock and roll, with a classic sound though. But none of the songs are particularly memorable besides title track.
Of course know Highway to Hell! However the rest of the album sounds similar to me to appreciate the album as a whole.
I get why this was such a big deal, but it's a bit tedious
The songwriting is a bit Spinal Tap...
I know a handful of the famous AC/DC songs. "Highway to Hell," "It's a Long Way to the Top," "Thunderstruck," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Back in Black," "Hells Bells." You get the idea. So when this album came up, I thought I'd be in for a trip down a track list like that one. I wouldn't say that ended up being true. I actually felt like I have the same kind of gripes with this album that I have with a lot of metal albums - it's too high energy for too much of the time. More than that though, I feel like AC/DC was kind of a one trick pony in some ways. Searing vocals from either Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, sick guitar riffs and solos from Angus Young, and a pretty standard song structure. The lyrics are never anything to dig into, but if you're coming to AC/DC for the lyrics, you're in the wrong place. The songs, I'll admit, blend together after a while. They all kind of sound the same. And that's disappointing. I said they're a one trick pony, but that one trick is pretty good. How they made a career off of it isn't really surprising to me - the music is far from bad, and it's entertaining and fun to listen to. I can't imagine what a concert was like in their heyday. But as a musical experience, it's repetitive and simplistic. But I still had a great time and it deserves three stars for the musicianship alone. Standout Tracks: Highway to Hell, Girls Got Rhythm, Night Prowler
Most well known song of this Hard Rock album is "Highway to Hell". Unfortunately the rst of the album basically sounds the same.
Great riffs. Somehow not hitting the same heights as Back in Black for me
7/10 not something I usually go for, probs wouldn't add any to a playlist or to my liked but can appreciate that they're all pretty solid songs ! no massive weaknesses, maybe slightly repetitive/hard to differentiate but that might just be me not being familiar with the genre
More historically significant than sonically interesting at this point, but not a bad listen at all. Just a bit samey.
echt nicht so schlecht Alles klingt zwar irgendwie gleich aber es ist halt nicht langweilig (No BOP tho)
3*
Straight forward, classic AC/DC. Night Prowler reconnected the album to blues roots, was a nice way to end it
I genuinely think this is the first time I’ve listened to one of their albums. Largely as I’ve never been very excited by them (Thunderstruck intro aside). Same applies to this album. On paper it’s a slam dunk, they have some great riffs, a decent vocalist and bags of positive energy. Yeah they’re ‘heavy’, however, somehow it just always seems a bit lightweight to me. Maybe it’s the staccato nature of the guitar, or the fact the drums and bass always seems a bit basic and secondary to lead and vocals. It’s also one of those one paced albums, and Nightcrawler is quite a blessed relief of a slower song at the end. It’s just all feels simplistic and not meaty, yeah that’s it, it just lacks any great nuance and is decidedly unmeaty. Mystery solved, but I’m sure it’s better experience live and pissed up.
I'm not sure what it says that I cannot pick up on the difference between Bon Scott and the next guy's voice. Now I've had back in black and this so I should be able to right? Or can everyone just kinda sing like taht in Oz if they want? Anyway, ignorant fun rock. Good riffs from big Malcolm the true wizard of this band. Interesting story of them hating Eddie Kramer and getting on with Mutt Lange two names you see all over classic rock. Also interesting connections between them and the easybeats, a truly legendary aussie band.
I like AC/DC but his voice is so unique and so is their style that to me their songs kinda blend into each other.
Really fun album with a great sound but it all sounds very similar
AC/DC falls in the same category as other bands from the late 70s to the early 90s for me. I call them 3F bands, because all their songs are about one of three things: fightin', fuckin', or foolin'. That said, I tend to enjoy riff-based music over masturbatory shredding, so Malcom & Angus' style of songwriting resonates with me way more than say, Van Halen's. This is a classic album, but it does get a little samey (like all AC/DC offerings). Easily a solid 3 stars, probably a 4 just for the classic title track. Impossible not to at least slightly bob your head to this music as you are driving to your office job in an SUV drinking coffee from a thermos.
One trick pony but it’s a decent trick
Not really my bag! But I can respect it.
Great artist; wrong album
Man oh man is the title track a towering banger. AC/DC is good for that. Unfussy and raucous hard rock. Listening to 'Back in Black' a while ago primed me to enjoy this previous album more. I still don't capital-L Love it, but I did have fun. Maybe I just like Bon Scott's voice more? Rest easy.
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would, the songs did get a bit repetitive after a while though.
Überraschend gut
I’m not in the mood to list clichés about AC/DC. In my opinion, the album is good, though quite monotonous. Then again, so is the whole band. Their musical formula is undeniably simple and repetitive, but at the same time, it’s their trademark – the riffs, the rhythm, and the voice of Bon Scott (for me, Bon Scott has always been the real one).
AC/DC is kind of stupid, but kind of cleverly so. Four to the floor and riffs and licks that all sound vaguely the same - and are immediately identifiable as AC/DC. Oh, and they're making sure to hammer home the chorus. Again. And again. Touch too much (which I'm assuming is about premature ejaculation) being the one that really stuck with me here - half the song was just that phrase repeated. I've turned off other stupid rock shite and given 1 star for it, but somehow I never felt like turning this off, although I'll never listen to this whole album ever again. Because... Why would I? Still... Better than KISS by several light years.
Feels like I'm listening to the same song over and over again.
Right from the beginning you could tell this was an AC/DC album, not only from the first track, which it's probably their most famous song, but because throughout the album the songs have that AC/DC sound. I don't typically listen to rock but this is the kind of rock that I find enjoyable.
Solid classic rock album but just too damn overplayed.
5.5
I don't think I can, in good conscience, give any AC/DC album more than 3 stars, even though no one has done what they do better than them.
sounds like ACDC to me
I enjoyed this, in spite of myself (particularly Night Prowler). I'm not sure I'd make an effort to listen to their other albums, esp post Bon Scott and some of the lyrics were almost repulsively horny. But! I liked seeing where other acts like Amyl and the Sniffers and the guys on tikok who did the 'I'm on smoko, so leave me alone!' video had been influenced by their pub rock forefathers
It’s like so, so many hard rock albums of its fame and its time. Forty minutes of similar guitar power chords and stressed vocals. AC/DC are one of a few bands (perhaps the most famous) that released these albums, and I can’t fault it. It does what it set out to do, and clearly to great effect. Absolutely everyone knows Highway to Hell, or at least its title track. There’s some surprising grooves in Beating Around the Bush and Night Prowler, and what should have been the stratospheric track from this album, Touch Too Much. So as far as 70s/80s hard rock goes, this gets a pass.
Pretty much the same as the last AC/DC we got - hard to dislike its exuberance, but gets a bit samey after a while. I prefer Bon Scott's vocals in this over Brian Johnson's. High three (but marginally higher than Back In Black)
A classic album, maybe a bit monotonous, but still a classic.
horny, masculine, can't help but respect it
Back in '79, half of my chums were really unto AC-DC, Motorhead, etc. Lemmy and co...OK, but AC-DC just left me cold. So, appreciate the prompt to head off and see whether I was misguided. Alas... I see the attraction, but it just does very little for me personally. Seems very calculated and crowd-pleasing to me, rather than a labour of love. I doubt I'll relisten to it.
My parents listened to a lot of classic rock when I was a kid, and that trend rubbed off on me quite a bit. For a while, I stuck with things that they had played a lot: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top, and a handful of others. As I got to be an older teenager though, I started branching out into some other artists that they never really listened to, and one of those artists was AC/DC. I bought their live album when I was maybe a senior in high school, and I listened to it constantly. As much as I loved that album, I’ve never listened to one of AC/DC’s studio albums in full, but I’m glad that the day has arrived for me to break that trend! This was fun to listen to, and I’d say it was fine overall. The title track is an absolute masterpiece, and honestly, that song alone may have landed this album on the list, and if that’s truly the case, I can understand that. The guitar riff on that song is one of the few classic rock guitar riffs that I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of. It’s simple, but man, it’s catchy. And when the drumming kicks in? I can’t help but nod along and attempt some really terrible air guitar playing. As someone who grew up in an evangelical household, “Highway to Hell” and AC/DC were so off-limits that no one ever had to say they were off-limits; it was just understood that listening to a song called “Highway to Hell” would surely summon Satan himself. Somehow though, this song still carries a bit of that mystique and forbidden fruit quality with me; it always feels like it’s something I shouldn’t be listening to, and of course that makes it all the more enjoyable. “If You Want Blood,” is easily my second favorite song on the album. The guitar riff is just as simple as the title track, and so is the drumming, but Bon Scott’s vocals really carry this song and make it great. The backing vocals are fantastic too, making this song incredibly fun, and one of the most underrated songs in the band’s catalog. “Love Hungry Man” was good too, and lyrically, it reminds me of the brilliance of “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” The bass playing on this song was easily my favorite on the album as well, and it gave the song a great groove that complimented the lead guitar really well. As for the rest of the album… well, it’s AC/DC. If you came here for a varied sound, you came to the wrong place. But if you came here for some hard rock that you can turn your brain off while you listen to, then you’ll go home happy. As for me? Aside from the three songs I dove into, the rest of the album was fine, but nothing else really grabbed me. A good portion of this album left my brain as soon as it left my ears, but while I was listening to it, it was fine. I hope I get to review Back in Black soon!
Meh 2.5/5
Средне
Drank a martini while I listened to this album. I don't really think it's a martini album, but I was in the mood for a vodka drink and a dry martini sounded really good. It wasn't wholly incompatible, ice cold and cutting. It just struck me as a little weird to be sipping a martini while Highway to Hell blasted on my headphones. Anyway, I think it's a 3.
Good rock that also sort of feels like it has rocks in its head. It's very fun, but lacks a certain depth that would help me get even more into it.
2.5
Fun, rocking album. Its nice to have something upbeat with some excellent guitar rifts. I would listen again, but the singer's voice gets a little samey after awhile.
For whatever reason, I love the song “Highway to Hell”. I enjoyed the rest of the album just fine. I like to listen to a record like this once in a while, but not often. It’s a very solid three stars for me.
Another dad rock staple but as an album not super interesting. They'll likely always be a greatest hits band for me. Opening track is a classic. I like the riffing on beating around the bush. That's about it. Another greatest hits staple band but album snoozer
AC/DC is not known for there deep cuts, and they shouldn’t be.
Was expecting to hate this but it wasn't bad!!
I am not a hard rock enthusiast but I make an exception with AC/DC. Good songs with moderate screaming.
More three star ROCK.
It's all right.
Good album that starts off very strong, but gets boring as you go through
It was alright.
solid. better choice could be picked though. could i write poetry to this? n
AC/DC does deserve two spots on this list. One for the Bon Scott era and one for Brian Johnson. Both are terrific Hard Rock singers. Unfortunately, this is far from my favorite of the Bon Scott-fronted albums. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" is a much better example of what they were capable of.
Solid album that was easy to listen to with some big hits. AC/DC has never been my cup of tea but this almost got a 4 out of me. 3.5.
The album flows really well. Every song is typical AC/DC and it's a fun ride. Night Prowler is a fun end to the album being a slower, bluesy song.
classic dad rock, no complaints
Glad that’s both the AC/DC albums out of the way now. To be honest I did prefer this slightly to Back in Black, probably because Brian Johnson’s vocals just sound like a bad impersonation of Bon Scott. I also thought Walk All Over You was a pretty good track.
It would be nice to hear different songs
6/10. A classic song and classic band. I kind of get it but overall not really my thing.
I’ve always said all AC/DC songs sound the same and listening to this album supports that theory. They are fun to listen to but nothing innovative. You know exactly what you are getting when you listen to this album. 3
3.4 1x
Hmmm. Who are these young upstarts? Can’t say I’ve ever experienced something like this. Well. Here’s to new expeditions in music. Nah I’ve obviously heard every AC/DC song as I’ve heard all power chords in any order. Highway to hell is a good song. However, when it’s not being followed by the sultry tones of the Q104 morning drive crew discussing a viral video of a dog farting, there is definitely a longing in my soul. I don’t know what “backseat rhythm” is, but I don’t like it. This song is fine. Kind of grating actually. Walk all over you is too long. That first slow chorus hit pretty hard but the tenth time had me longing for a weather update from Beefer and the Shit on my drive home brought to you by Dude Wipes. This song has an excellent chorus. Very same sounding to all other AC/DC tracks but they found a decent formula and executed well here. Good chorus. A little glam, but a lot of fun. This one has a lot more drive. The sound is dated, but with fresh ears, this one would rip. And it does. Holy hell this is good. I have not only spring a bald spot, but a Harley Davidson muscle shirt has emerged from my skin. I have alerted a local physician. It’s the worst case of white boomer dad-itis he’s ever seen. I’m a sick man. This song was just there. Floated by. I do want blood. This is another monster. Man. I’m liking this and hating that I do. I’m trying to be cool and edgy but I simply will not escape the basic white man allegations. Lock me away, senator. Not an AC/DC ballad. Nooooo. Ok. False alarm. This one isn’t fantastic. Actually, when he says “you’re such a treat, a man’s got to eat,” that probably removed an entire star from the album. Single-handedly. I’m sure Angus Young is turning over in his pile of money having heard my scathing review of the lyrics he didn’t write. Night prowler. Decent, a little listless to end but YOURE LISTENING TO T109.7 THE TESTICLE *pant zip * AND WEVE GOT NOTHING BUT CLASSIC ROCK ALL GOD DAMN DAY *church bell.* AND IF YOU CANT HANDLE THAT, WELL MAYBE YOU AINT GOT NO BALLS *wolf whistle*. AND NOW HERES CHODE AND THE MOOSE MAN. Whether or not these songs come before traffic and weather on the ones, it’s a whole lot of fun. A good album that has a high energy and if it hit my ears in 1979, it probably would’ve knocked me on my ass. Misses out on a little substance and a cohesive album feel, but as a song by song experience, Highway to Hell is a hell of a ride. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Highway to Hell, Touch Too Much, Beating around the Bush, Shot Down in Flames, If You Want Blood (You Got It)
- Neben Back in Black gibt es für mich nur noch ein anderes richtig geiles Album von AC/DC, und das ist High Voltage. Die Highway To Hell Platte gehört leider nicht dazu. - Ich finds immer noch ein ganz okayes Album, was auch Laune macht, aber mehr auch nicht - Highway To Hell ist und bleibt einer der geilsten Rocksongs aller Zeiten, bockt einfach - Der runtergebrochene Refrain von "Walk All Over You" ist auch echt cool - Der Basslauf bei Love Hungry Man ist geil funky und bringt nochmal eine andere Note rein - Sonst ist es halt einfach viel AC/DC Formel. Drei Akkorde, treibendes 4/4 Schlagzeug, schreiender Bon Scott. Ist natürlich immer mal cool, aber wird auf Dauer ohne die großen Hits oder etwas Abwechslung dann doch etwas ermüdend. Rating: 3,25/5
- Ja es ist AC/DC, ja die sind einfach ein absoluter Klassiker, riesig und beliebt - Aber für mich ist es weder eine 5/5, noch eine 4/5 - Leider klingen für mich, bis auf einige Hits, einfach viele Songs viel zu ähnlich und ich bin einfach weiterhin kein Fan der Stimmlage
I don't feel much depth but haha I mean its AC/DC so maybe all anyone needed was something to underscore a bender. Definitely feels like 'pure' rock and roll of the era. I just keep thinking about alcohol analogies. 2.5
Imma be honest, I never actually knew that AC/DC changed vocalists before Back In Black. I just assumed the guy’s voice changed a little. This album is like a loaf of white bread. The first slice is pretty good, and every slice after that is more of the same. It’s good enough, but I don’t need to eat the whole loaf.
Kelpo rockia
En oo fani, mut ihan ok laadukas levy
For some reason, I don't think I knew AC/DC was an Australian band. Likely the biggest one to exist by the time this album came out. It all sounds good. It all sounds like you'd imagine the rest of the album sounds from only knowing the title track. Classic rock n' roll. 3.5/5
Hard rock still not my go to genre of music. This album similar to many other hard rock albums with themes that resonate with young males. I was one of those, a long time ago... This album starts and ends strong (Highway to Hell and Night Prowler) but the rest is mostly the same. Still worth a 3 for the start and end...
Starts super strong, one of the best rock songs of all time honestly, and the first couple tracks after that are good too. But eventually there’s just too little variety, it all starts to sound the same and mush together.
It’s enjoyable. Highway to hell is a classic. But I can’t lie, all the songs are very similar. Which isn’t always a bad thing. But it did get a bit monotonous.
Every song is a thinly veiled metaphor of “I’m having hot sex with this hot chick” but man they rock so hard they can get away with it in the 70’s. I wonder how much satanic panic this stirred up back then?
I know, I know. It's a classic. But it's really just three different songs in a trenchcoat. I like them but not for a while album.
Knew the title track but then if you know one AC/DC song you know them all. So bland and inoffensive that you can't even dislike it. Just completely irrelevant.
Decent album. Consistent AC/DC sound
Classic album with some great songs and great riffs. This sort of rock can feel a bit samey for me. Not the sort of album I would listen to. Just the odd song.
Solid rock and roll. They've been playing the same damn song record after record for ages but... You can get away with it when it's a great song.
I have anti-nostalgia for AC/DC. It was the music of the people I didn't like, and didn't want to grow up like. That aside, this is really solid album, albeit one that's not to my taste.
Oddly this album doesn't hold up as well as a I remember. There are some major hits on it that are still great but the album as a whole is repetitive and boring.
Good album
Silly.
Some stand-outs and generally really enjoyable. I think I did prefer Bon Scott's voice, y'know. Slightly same-y by side 2.
Preferred Back in Black 1000% more but this one wasn’t too bad. Never was really into the rock genre on a really high level but I respect AC/DC obviously. Not a bad album
It surely has some classics on it, but the non-classic songs sound the same and are not that interesting. 3/5
"I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same." That's right. Get in the t-top, loser, we're hitting mailboxes with a baseball bat. Nothing groundbreaking, and somehow too long as an album, but every song rocks.
Highway to Hell is a great way to kick off an album. AC/DC has a sound, and they have stuck with it through thick and thin. These guys are super horny, every song is about getting laid. I can understand how some people might confuse some AC/DC songs. With as many hits as they have over their career, it's surprising that this album only really had one big one. This one delivers exactly what an AC/DC album promises.
I didn't expect this to turn me around on AC/DC, and I was pretty much right - it's very samey, straight down the middle rock that I would describe as "perfectly fine", with an annoying man singing bullshit over it.
First look...I'm not sure I've ever listened to this as an album before. I only recognise two songs off the top of my head. To my surprise I preferred it to Back In Black. This might be because I was listening to it in its natural habitat, ie on a long car journey.
Good. Not great. Good.
Fun listen but after two go throughs I can say “meh 🫤”with full confidence
Titillagið er banger, restin er fínn þungarokksfiller. Get alveg hlustað á þetta þótt ekki sé það fjölbreytt.
Album was okay. Title track was easily the best on here, the rest were pretty forgettable. They have better albums. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again
Klinkt een hoop een beetje hetzelfde
Fine but AC DC's hits are better than anything else
I appreciate AC/DC on a mix tape. A single song or two is great mixed in with other classic rock. An entire album is way too much for me and starts sounding very same-y. Girls Got Rhythm is one of my favorite AC/DC songs so I gave this album a bonus star for that.
generic
It was ok
Fill your pockets full of rocks. No, more rocks. No, still more rocks. Now you're ready to rock for the highway to hell.
1st song-i dont like it how they singing it sounds weird and plus they are singing so bad little bit 2nd song- ok this I like it little bit but crash in planes is really crazy and they sounds mad 3rd song- this one i kinda like it that much of big fan of them tho and this song so weird
I like the beat In their song but their singing is bad. but if you like it then you can play it.
Nothing really unexpected
Title track is a killer and deserves to be on the list for that alone.
Liked a couple
Write a third song already.
Finally, a member of my Australian legends list! AC/DC is simultaneously a very interesting band and a very uninteresting band. They're very popular, so I definitely think they deserve to have at least one album on here. Fortunately, they have two, with this being the earlier one. This album's pretty alright. The sound is quite good. I've always liked the riffs and solos I've heard of AC/DC. Although, I did just realize that, until listening to this album today, I had only ever heard like 4 AC/DC songs in my life ever. My belief has been reaffirmed with this album listen. Bon Scott's vocals are certainly unique. One may find them annoying, but I find them to be fun. Now, let's get the obvious complaint out of the way. Let's just say that there's a reason why people say that every AC/DC song sounds the same. This album's pretty repetitive in both sound and (for the most part) lyrical matter. However, while this does lead to a less interesting album, it does make Highway to Hell a pretty consistently solid album. Of course, it does peak with the title track at the beginning, but the others aren't bad. They're just not as interesting. Overall, this is a solid album from a pretty influential band. It may not be an album that I'm super passionate about, but I see the appeal and the importance of this album. High 3/5.
They had blood, I didn't want ite
Look, it's better than Back In Black and birthed School Of Rock (the film), so kudos to that. Enjoyed it more than I should've, but women aren't objects guys!
I didn't hate it, but it didn't stand out, either.
good classic rock, keeps with one style but is enjoyable and has bangers. Probably closer to a 4 then a 3, but a high 3.5 rating is appropriate.
Catchy, punchy, rock that sounds great loud. After one song or two of the album however each track sounds pretty similar.
Liked it but didn’t get through it
Iconic vocals and music. One of the classic American rock bands that still lives on today with timelessness. Not my typical rock music that I like listening to, but AC/DC has its place at times and they can shred. This record is seemingly energetic the entire time and offers a good time throughout. Had never listened to it in its entirety, but happy I did through this project.
Highway to Hell is a definite classic, and I do like the sound of AC/DC, but every song did sort of sound the same. They were good at one thing, and they did that thing.
Ultimately, the only memorable song is Highway to Hell. It’s better than a lot of other seventies rock albums we’ve had, but there’s nothing that makes me want to come back to this album specifically rather than listen to a greatest hits compilation.
I listened to this album while wrangling a toddler at the airport, and I think it matched the energy of the situation perfectly. Came in strong thinking hell yeah I got this. After the title song I faded in and out of the album with distractions. Every time I came back in, I thought yep this is AC/DC. Not their best album, but one of their best songs.
Never been a huge AC/DC fan.
Great rock and roll album. I remember reading an old Angus Young excerpt in guitar world magazine and someone submitted their opinion that Angus Young only knows 3 chords and doesn't play that well. And Angus Young replied with a lengthy letter back to this particular fan about how he was sorry that this fan didn't enjoy his guitar playing and at the end it something to the effect of "I know that there is a lot of similarities in the guitar riffs that I write but it's wrong to say that I only know 3 chords. Because I, in fact know at least 4." I thought it was hilarious. Especially because AC/DC are world renowned and at one time, on top of the world. They e definitely left their mark in music history and even though the music isn't necessarily complex... Angus Young has written. Some iconic guitar parts. So Fuck that guy. Let AC/DC be AC/DC and let there be rock!
It’s AC/DC it’s not high art. It’s fine. Theres nothing exceptional. There’s nothing terrible.
Very similar throughout, first and last songs were the best on the album, a decent listen, just samey
Some good things here that maybe hit harder at the time of release, but mostly feels like generic rock music.
When I saw this was the album I sighed. I just don’t like AC/DC. It’s the vocals. Bon Scott isn’t any better than Brian Johnson, in fact I think they sound eerily similar. This is sad because if it was anybody with decent vocals this album (and Back in Black) would probably be 4’s. If you take out the vocals it’s a solid album. Angus Young is an absolute hoss on the guitar and that was great. Everything is great except the vocals, and that really, really hurts this album’s rating (and my ears) so it’s a 3 for me (only because of Angus).
Gode riffs! Det er ikke at de her sange er dårlige, de er alle sammen ret fede, men det lyder godt nok lidt ens. Bon Scotts stemme lyder helt fucked up.
Fun album, kinda repetitive
Good album, nothing special for me, good to have on in the background and tap your feet.
Solid rock album by a Hall of Fame rock band. It's probably not their best album, but it's good. I don't think AC/DC gets enough credit for the use of "space" in their music. They're a hard rock band, but almost all of their songs include short periods of silence - breaks in the heavy guitar riffs that kinda draw you in. I think that's what makes their sound so unique and recognizable.
Here we go, some good, classic Aussie rock. I love AC/DC but their albums sound a bit samey. Night Prowler was, surprisingly, my favourite track from Highway To Hell. It’s slow but it’s sinister, there was something quite captivating about it.
It's solid, but it's just not my thing. The highlights are Bon Scott's passionate singing (which I didn't really like before) and Angus Young's leads. Liked Songs Added: - Highway To Hell
Not huge on hard rock, obviously there are hits that defy type like the titular track, but overall not my cup of tea.
Good classic rock album
Starts strong but drops off quick after the second track. Good opening riffs and sounds very on-brand, but the songs and lyrics are pretty forgettable after that first 10 seconds. They go on to do much better stuff, but I can imagine for the time of release it was well-received.
Good listen but not their best.
i listened to a ukrainian version of highway to hell after passing my driving test. great times
All started to feel like the same song
Hm
Enjoyed this a lil more than I thought! It’s fun! This list has been super populated with hard rock!
Thought I was going to like this a lot more! Fun enough!
kinda famously one of those bands that I love to hate - i was shocked that i enjoyed this as much as i did - it was really fun as far as the 'hard rock' genre goes (which i am seriously starting to dislike due to this list)
"We're young, we're dumb, we're full of cum, and WE'RE READY TO ROCK!" Is what I imagine these guys said when they sat down to record it. I know it's supposed to be a cornerstone of rock history but it doesn't really do it for me. Yeah, they're talented, a lot of musicians on this list are. I don't think they were anything more than a bunch of fuckboys who didn't add anything meaningful to the genre...still fun though.
Starts out strong but gets a little repetitive - meh after a while. Not their best effort.
Oh man, I've been an AC/DC fan for decades, but I've never actually tried to listen to a full album of theirs from beginning to end. And now that I have, I kinda can't get through it? It's a strange sensation, liking every song individually, just not one after the other.
It's all pretty much the same thing
It's a nice album, and 'Highway to Hell' is pretty timeless even though I've heard it _a lot_ in my time. The rest of the album is serviceable but blends together a bit for me with very little standing out to me as specially good. That's not to say the music is bad in any way and I generally enjoyed listening to it. It just didn't make me stop and pay attention, or pull me in much other than the title track Standouts Highway to Hell 3/5
Every ac/dc Album is a 3
3.75
If you like ac/dc you have to like this. 3.5
AC/DC were an Australian band that made guitar based hard rock, with a near-scream vocal style that typical of hard rock and metal. For Highway to Hell, these vocals were belted by Bon Scott, who died not long after the recording of this album. The band had many iterations and line-up changes in the course of their career, but maintained a consistent sound. Highway to Hell was the band's fifth album, and the one that made them into international stars. These are simple, potent songs, from a band that found a very successful formula. While very commercially successful, the songs all sound very similar, and are not particularly interesting.
7/10
As much as I don't love ACDC, all the songs are pretty catchy.
Yesssss yessssss…! Play the riff and shout the chorus! Yessssss
Leimallisinta AC/DC:tä ja parasta varmaan siinä mielessä, että joka biisi ei kuulosta ihan samalta. Joo! Ihan hyvä. Rullaa menemään. Positiivinen yllätys.
Mutt Langen mielestä levyn paras veto on Touch Too Me - mitä merkitsee, että en välttämättä ole eri mieltä? Tärkein vetonaula on kuitenkin vokalisti itse, jonka karhea kurkku kompensoi hänen kiusallisen likaista mieltään. Musiikillisesti materiaalin taso kulkee aina nimikappaleen monumentaalisuudesta Shot Down in Flamesin puhtaaseen geneerisyyteen. Kokonaisuus pelaa omassa konseptuaalisessa (vai tarkoitanko konseptittomassa) kontekstissaan, pari biisiä myös itsenäisesti. 3,5
Highway to Hell Night Prowler Last album with singer Bon Scott
I have a soft spot for this sound and gritty vocals especially on the well known ones like Highway to Hell. Night Prowler was also fun. All in all good exemplary album for the genre. 3.5
Boomer ahh music.
Highway to hell for sure!
kind of ass i dont like acdc 3/5
El último gran álbum de la banda junto al mítico Bon Scott, cerrando la primera y mejor etapa creativa de los australianos. Sin duda, “Highway to hell” coronó con un estruendoso rayo a la banda, cimentándolos como la banda de hard rock más potente y única del mundo, hasta el día de hoy.
every song sounds the same
It’s insane to me that this is AC/DC’s 6th album. What the hell were they doing before this. Clearly this is where they found their sound. Highway To Hell is an impressive opening and over the album is good. Huge riffs, Touch too much is great, so is If You Want Blood but it’s all a bit repetitive 7.2/10
Not their best - but top 3 for sure.
As much as I do enjoy their energy, and also Highway to Hell as a song itself, I need more mental stimulation than 10 songs that sound almost the same. This is a very common issue I have with these lads.
The hits are great the rest is good. They have better albums tho
non vorrei pensarla così, ma a parte la prima che parte col botto, mi paiono tutte piacevoli, ma tutte uguali. 3 politico da average album rock.
Rieccoli i nostri amici insospettabilmente australiani. Che dire? Highway to Hell (la canzone) è iconica; il resto dell’album è carino. Mi piace molto il rock, ma credo che questo tipo di rock non sia il mio tipo di rock. Nel senso che lo ascolto volentieri, ma non mi ci strapperei i capelli, ecco. Però probabilmente ho preferito questo album a Back in Black, e di questo bisogna dare atto.
- AC/DC is fairly essential party rock music. And the title track is a fun romp. However, almost all of the other tracks have the same structure and style as that one and they so not compare. - "Night Prowler" was a nice change of pace.
Had never listened to the entire album before. Thoroughly enjoyed it...but a bit too repetitive at times.
Never listened to the album. Solid rock album. No duds, and one classic. The rest is good but nothing eye-opening. A couple of Spın̈al Tap moments sprinkled in, as well. "A body of Venus with arms."
Embarrassed that I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Just solid classic rock. That last song was so fucking uncomfortable, though.
Walk all over you es la Unica canción que destacó. Siempre se me ha hecho bastante monótono AC/DC . A veces siento que suenan igual e innovar en un género como el hard rock no es fácil. El álbum no se me hizo aburrido pero difícil destacar.
3/5. Loud and in your face, this album really drives home the fact that you can't ever be too loud. Every instrument and vocal is turned up to 11, impossible to listen to this quietly. I gotta respect that. And despite the screaming vocals, they are still fairly clear and understandable, something many bands fail at. Is this a good album, kind of. Some great fun songs, some repetitive rockers, a fine line between them. Best Song: Highway To Hell, Touch Too Much, Night Prowler (hopefully not controversial for what I read about it lol)
Gotta love AC/DC, they found a formula and stuck with it, that being said, if you've heard one you've heard 'em all. Some nostalgia points but one of the major classic rock bands that I could live without being in heavy rotation.
The title track is an all time classic, and that’s all you need to get AC/DC of this period. All the other tracks are very similar in sound. It’s not necessarily bad. AC/DC is a goated band for a reason, but I prefer Back in Black over this one. The only other interesting thing here is the unfortunate connection to Richard Ramirez.
A classic. Some of its songs have been overused by the industry (movies, tv shows etc.) though.
Some classics and good riffs. It sort of all becomes the same at the end, but it's still good.
Ein Klassiker. Hard Rock. Und das zwei Tage nachdem ACDC in München gespielt hat. Aber so richtig das Meine wird das eben doch nicht.
AC/DC are very good at what they do, and never deviate from the formula. Enjoyable in small doses Strong 3 but cant quite give it a 4
Wild that for how popular the song highway to hell was. I thought most the other tracks were better than that joint. I'm into the energy of this one.
Genre-defining sound of 60s and 70s rock. The rest of the songs carry the same distortion and sustain-filled guitar riffs that the title track is known for. Found some new goodies like, “Touch Too Much” and “If You Want Blood (You Got It)”
groaned when I saw this but honestly much better than I expected. last track was my favourite I think.
For having distilled a sound and swagger and a highschool level lyric ability this is a must to listen to. But do you need to listen to all their albums when any one will generally do?
i can see why it holds a place in peoples hearts. i'm not the biggest fan of rock like this, but i was still swingin hips
Moderately entertaining.
Favorite Tracks: Highway to Hell Girls Got Rhythm Night Prowler
Having more than one AC/DC album on this list seems redundant
