The definition of old man rock. At least it was only 40 min long.
AC/DC really had one idea for a song and then recycled that one idea endlessly their whole career. I mean it's fine, I just don't know if I need a whole albums worth y'know?
Woman rock
AC/DC is fine
Sitä vanhan sortin rokkenrollia, joka ei vaan itseen iske. Klassikkokappaleita joo, mutta en haluaisi kuunnella uudelleen.
I think the bullies from grade 8 would beat me up If they knew I gave this a 2. Bon Scott is the superior singer and these early albums show some blues influence, I guess. But it’s not great. Not terrible. It’s just ok.
Ok
Well what can I say. They’re groundbreaking pioneers, but, not really my thing.
uneven
Just completely washes over me. Don't care for this at all. I don't think it's bad or anything, just painfully uninteresting. The type of rock album that lacks any real character and coasts on solid instrumentation and songwriting. Made to be played at sports games and shitty dive bars and guitar hero games. The mixing on the vocals is horrendous.
Starts off with Highway to Hell and goes downhill.
Eh. Title track rules but gets so boring
This type of ”boys just wanna have fun” hard rock always bored me.
boring as always
It's ac/dc back to back
2,5
There is probably White Girl Pop that goes harder than this.
Favorite Tracks: "Highway to Hell", "Girls Got Rhythm", "Touch Too Much", "Love Hungry Man" I wish these ratings weren't out of 5 stars because it doesn't feel right to give this a 2 or 3. It's somewhere in the middle for me. It starts to lose steam at Shot Down In Flames for me, but picks back up at Love Hungry Man.
I understand why these guys are so influential but scream-singing has never been my bag.
When I was 15, I would have given this album 4 stars, but I've listened to this album numerous times. It's not bad, I get the cultural significance of this album. Nevertheless, you get 2 stars babe. XOXO Maggs
So recognizable anthem and the rest of the album goes with copy-paste production method. Simple is good but I listening this album makes me question the value of this album. Nope.
I'm pretty sure I must've heard this album before because my dad is a fan. Meh? It's not the most terrible thing I've ever heard but their signature sound makes all the songs sound the same basically. And I just don't like AC/DC in general. 2/5
Highway To Hell: 10/10, classic, ultimate road trip song Girls Got Rhythm: 7/10, fun to vibe to, lyrics are alright Walk All Over You: 6/10, song topic is the same as the last and it's already getting kinda repetitive Touch Too Much: 5/10, when are they gonna sing another song that ISN'T about sex?! However, I quite liked the guitar solo Beating Around The Bush: 7/10, yay a song that isn't about sex! I liked it, fun to dance to Shot Down In Flames: 4/10, boo hoo you got rejected idc Get It Hot: 3/10, if ur gonna sing about sex all the time at least make the lyrics good If You Want Blood (You Got It): 7/10, not about sex, I actually somewhat enjoyed the message behind the song Love Hungry Man: 2/10, sex. Night Prowler: 6.5/10, a decent horror-themed song Overall album rating: 5.75/10
[5/10] Yeah it’s ac/dc alright. So ubiquitous at this point that it does about as much for me as staring at a charcoal grill. I’m sure it was revolutionary for everyone’s dad when it came out though.
I like the idea of ACDC a lot more than I like ACDC. I think it's the workman-like plodding of the standard ACDC song. They're all at very close the same tempo and that tempos never really connected with me. Bum, pop, dutiful driving without any real propulsion, I just get bored when it's not a solo (Bon Scott's perfect rock vocals notwithstanding). That said, when Young does do a solo, my interest increases exponentially, and the songs that run at a tighter clip are far more infectious (I wish there were more songs played at Beating Around The Bush's clip)
Not a big fan of this band. Production is good though. Same old heavy riffs and pentatonic blues scales. Yawn
This may be the brochure for sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The presentation may be fine, but most of this is tiresome and uninteresting.
fine for what it is, but not something i’d listen to in my free time
Title track is an absolute classic and obviously great. Touch Too Much is damn good. That's about it for this album, but I wouldn't say everything else is *terrible* either.
produced by mutt lange, so every song is a fiddle away from shania or a synthesizer away from loverboy. at least they sang about relatable things like being a woman or working for the weekend.
yeahhh i dont like this
Why not, some good songs that understandably became legendary, a signature guitare sound, but nothing that amazed me, especially the fact that it was released in 79. I was expecting more experimental or at least fresh and modern.
Sucks
'I'm afraid your just too darn loud'
omg i was so fucking bored aaAAUIaaUOIU
Loved the title track and then everything sounded the same
It's funny how low-key the title track is. The album opens with it and it has a very nondescript ending that just flows straight into track 2. No pomp and circumstance for what would be a legendary track. No real bangers but a solid album that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Grew stale in the second half though. Fav Track: Beating Around The Bush
Some fun riffs but it's the same shit for 42 minutes Highlights: Highway to Hell
it feels like eating at a mcdonald's, plain for me
Everyone knows that AC/DC only has one song and they just change the lyrics to make an album, right? There’s so much more potential here but they came up short on this one.
It wasn't as bas I was expecting, lots of melody going on, lyrics are pretty big standard, lots of 'hot and 'woman' and the such. 2.5
So boring and repetitive... not the best AC/DC album.
It's funny how similar the Back in Black singer sounds like Bon Scott. And also wore the hat. Was he just not allowed to be his own thing? Anyway yes, this is ACDC. It's always going to be exactly what you expect. I definitely forgot it was on after a few tracks. Not bad though. Not good either.
You know in your late teens, early twenties, and you're meeting new people - college, university, house parties, wherever - and you meet that guy who fires up the room, a real party animal, everyone's buddy. You start talking to him, and it sounds like he's the most awesome person ever... but as the night wears on, he's just drinking more and more, and tell the same story over and over again to every new person who joins the group, and the story is all about the tons of sex he is DEFINITELY having, and how he's having MORE SEX than everyone else, and how he DEFINITELY did it today, and everyone realises he's just kind of... a sad act who has one story at most? That's Highway to Hell. The album starts great, with a genuine banger, but then every other song after that blends in to hard rockin', sex havin', four to the floor sameyness that really leaves me cold. The last track at least tries something different with the blues-y feel (although it is still about a serial killer stalking a woman, so no thanks), but overall I don't think it'll be one for a second listen. Fave: Highway to Hell
Kinda mid
no ac/dc album should be more than 30 minutes. no ac/dc song should be more than 3 minutes.
Oh to be a teenage boy.
Sure was some AC/DC.
AC/DC makes music for venues to play between bands
Not a giant fan. Occasionally I'd be enjoying a song, and then the singer would do some weird Spongebob-esque laugh or adlib and then I'd hate it again.
It's ok, kinda samey all the way through
Every song sounds the same. Boring.
It seems like this song is based on life on the road and how you can just do something bad and there will be no consequences, which makes the song have a reckless vibe. Overall, I think that song is fine, but I don't love it because of the wild guitar freestyle that's annoying in my opinion. 2. I think this song is based on the commitment of making a good band, even if there will be some major consequences. Overall, I think this song is slightly better than the first one I listened to. Anyways, I don't like ACDC because I feel like if I listened to this for a long period of time, I would get a severe headache
Loved this in early highschool. It’s not my jam anymore
ofbeldi
not a huge fan of hard rock, nor do I care for Scott's voice. it was ok. felt like lot of the tracks had same sound
Kæft det er monotont! Ikke nær så mange bangers som på den sidste vi havde med dem
Der var den der highway to hell, som er relativt kendt og så føles resten af pladen bare som den samme sang..
Listened to this album years ago, but AC/DC aren't really my thing. Everyone knows the title track and every track after it basically sounds the same.
Don't have it in me to listen to a whole album. Singles are good
We get it... you've made your intentions clear. Over and over again. 10 songs and 42 minutes of basically the same thing. With the exception of the last track. Which was only slightly different. Not my taste.
AC/DC man, a band that’s aged like milk on a radiator.
Mostly forgettable straight forward rock music. I get why at least one AC/DC album is on here, they are an institution in rock and roll music. I like a lot of their songs, but an entire album was too much. They are great at what they do, but for me they’re a greatest hits band with a few deep cuts that are worth checking out. Overall what I expected, a few gems with a lot of filler.
The guitar playing is great, not a fan of the vocal screeching. The songwriting is mediocre at best.
Soo-ooo boring. Brian Johnson's vocals are abysmal too.
Just sounds the same. Singer's voice becomes grating after too long
Titke track was it for me
Band is lame tbh
I thought this was gonna be so cool! Guess the songs I sorta like that sound just like these songs are on a different album though.
I've never actually sat down and listened to this album before. All the jokes about their songs sounding the same are true. Extremely mid. I'm honestly not even sure why they're still popular decades later. Not even mid, pretty bad and stupid.
Mid.
Не буду оригинальным в заявлении, что все эти песни звучат абсолютно одинаково. Я никогда не был большим любителем AC/DC, это тоже правда. Альбом норм, но даже при небольших сорока минутах ощущается затянутым. Лучшая песня - Touch Too Much.
Better than I expected.
#246. I knew this day was coming, and yet I was hoping anyway that it wouldn't. I listened to this album to keep with the spirit of this whole thing, but I already knew it was going to be terrible, and as I suspected, it was terrible. 2/5: garbage
Just not my sound
i never listened to ac/dc in middle school so this music really hasn't resonated with me. it's funny to me that the only song on this album i knew ahead of time was the title track and, quite frankly, it's the lamest song on here. the rest of the album really doesn't do it for me a whole lot. solid enough hard rock. the sound is better than i feel the songs are. just really makes me feel like music a middle schooler would like. ah well, i gave it a shot.
There is absolutely no reason for 2 AC/DC albums to be on this list. Once you've heard one of their songs, you've heard them all.
same old same old
Meh
1 great Song. The rest made my ears tired.
It’s not bad, just repetitive and bland. The classics are overplayed at this point, the rest just filler. I get why it’s on here, I just don’t care about it.
Is there a band that likes singing the name of their song over and over in the chorus like AC/DC? Highway to Hell (song) stands the test of time because it's the best song here. Once you've heard that, though, you've basically heard everything here. Anthem rock all the way and it's pretty boring for that, in my opinion. My favorite song that was new to me was Beating Around the Bush.
I think the rhythm guitar sounds better on this one than in Back in Black, & the Bon Scott era is better overall. but Highway to Hell doesn't have the Back in Black chord riff. music: hated. (⌐■_■)
It is what it is
Jeg har aldrig før bemærket hvilke ACDC sange der er med Bon Scott på vokal og hvilke der er med Brian Johnson. Ud over titlenummeret bryder jeg mig ikke særlig meget om vokalen på dette album. Der er backing sang på en del numre. Og så er riffs’ne for bløde. Rytmerne for kedelige. Highway to Hell (sangen) holder 100. Men resten af albummet var virkelig skidt.
Loud rock. Not my favorite. 2 stars.
Not my thing, and i just dont like it, i never will. I like in Highway to Hell, the little pauses in the chords on the guitar. Hate the vocals so much. I think its bad. 2/5
first one is a banger but then they all sound the same after that
Nothing really caught my attention
While music everywhere was evolving and transforming, we still had these guys to belt out tired riffs and cringy lyrics
Tony Hawk Pro skater nostalgie. Wel lekkere schreeuw herrie. Veel van hetzelfde beetje saai. Zou het niet nog een keer opzetten. En niet afgeluisterd.
Overrated. Full stop.
While they do have some bangers, like the title track here, I find a lot of their songs are cut from the same cloth. And the cloth is a fairly boring cloth.
2024-03-23...
3/10Heavy metal. Not for me. Although Highway to Hell a classic
This was a great album when I was 14
If you are into that genre it is very good.Personally not my cup of tea but my brother in law loves it.
I like “Highway to Hell” and I enjoy a couple of the other songs. But mostly this falls into the category of music that is ultra masculine that I can engage with for a couple of tracks and then become increasingly tired with. I don’t think it’s garbage but the aggressiveness drives me away. 2.5/5
Gym rocked, classic guitar, just not exciting or special to me
Never care to hear these guys ever again
It was okay
Highway to Hell was a great opener. Night Prowler at the end I enjoyed but enriching else was pretty forgettable. It’s not bad, it’s just not for me
While I've heard the hits over the year and they are great (at the right time and place). The rest of the album was pretty forgettable for me.
It’s cool, pretty legendary butt rock. Transports me to my Midwestern small town beer tent. That being said, it all kinda sounds the same and I don’t know that I’d ever choose to play this again.
AC/DC é uma das bandas mais medíocres de todos os tempos, as únicas partes que salvam esse álbum são os solos, de resto, é todo normal pra ruim
Not terrible. Kind of relemtless. Bluesier than I expected in some of the non-radio songs.
Never realized how few of their songs I’d heard besides the big hits. But then again they all kinda sounded the same. Solid, consistent, dumb rock songs.
Pears!!!
I can see why this album is on the list. Decent rock music and talented musicians but overall it’s kinda boring. I listened about half way through
Waande me direct op de zondagmiddag in de Keunefeest-tent met de party-rock opener Highway To Hell, wat niet eens verkeerd beviel. Daarna direct een vurige riff met Girls Got Rhythm, waarna ik bijna zoals Tom Arfman bij Chelsea Dagger op tafel stond te hossen. Ik dacht dat dit de eerste grote verrassing ging worden, mocht het niet zo zijn dat al hun trucjes bij de eerste twee tracks al tentoongesteld werden. De rest van het album was een aaneenrijging van schunnige sex-obsessies en ordinaire objectivation, nummers die het vast goed doen op een rally van Trump. Een 6 voor de energie. 6/10 Highlight: Girls Got Rhythm
AC/DC is zoveel meer dan Highway to Hell... ...nou niet dus. Ook al is Highway To Hell een legendarisch nummer met een bak energie en heerlijke riffs, alle andere nummers daarna hebben elementen uit HtH. Met Shot Down in Flames als toppunt, dat is gewoon bijna dezelfde song. 10 nummers lang hetzelfde doen. Simpele riffs en Bon Scott die alleen maar hetzelfde zingt, geen variatie in tekst of manier van zingen. Wel voor het eerst dat AC/DC me een beetje deed denken aan the Who, wss doordat de zang van Scott wat lijkt op die van Daltrey. Anyway... Highlights: Highway to Hell Walk All Over You (Who-vibes)
This was my first ever AC/DC album. It was “just alright”. On to the next one.
Even in the context of its era its still boring
2 great songs and 1 good one. The rest were pretty generic sex or fighting songs which was kind of boring.
Meh - beyond the title track I didn’t really care about any of the songs. They all sounded the same, very one note. I will say that if I had heard this when I was in 6th grade I would have been OBSESSED with AC/DC.
I mean Highway to Hell is a fun song but I can't even call this an album, it's literally just one single 41 minute long song. This entire album is a deja vu trip 2/5
aiii
Dad rock. Highway To Hell is track 1, maybe 2 other songs really enjoyed but struggled to get through the whole album. Good to hear more AC/DC songs however it reminds me of growing up and blaring stadium anthems coming from my little brothers bedroom. Can appreciate the ground work this album put in for future hard rock albums.
Довольно однообразный, но драйвовый звук, хотя хитовые треки у группы в целом совсем друг на друга не похожи, но альбом однообразен----->на треке beating around the bush передумал)) звучит все также однообразно драйвово, но свежо и круто
Classic rock. 2/5
Outside of the the title track not AC/DC's best effort. RIP to Bon Scott
Other than Highway to Hell, nothing ever stands out to me. After GnR just two albums ago, I've had my fill of this style of hard rock. *Heard before.
Honestly a bit of a snoozefest for me - by the 6th album I think AC/DC ran out of ideas for original compositions and just began recycling their sound. Not only that but the lyrical content feels like it's written by a horny middle-schooler. Title track ain't bad though. Fav Tracks: Highway to Hell
A lot of them all sound the same. Very specific sound. Very simple and repetitive melody. The song highway to hell is classic.
Everything sounds the same but they got some catchy licks. Unfortunately the cringe of how "badass" they are combined with the safe vanilla sound make for a pretty boring listen.
Funny that this used to be consider "hard rock." Seems so tame now. Not my thing really.
my thought process listening to this album: "highway to hell": hell yeah this is gonna be a dope AC/DC album full with bangers. at this moment, I am expecting to, at some point, hear back in black, thunderstruck, dirty deeds, or any combination of the top AC/DC tracks. "Girl's got rhythm" to "Touch too much": there haven't been any super killer AC/DC tracks other than "thunderstruck" thus far, but these tracks all maintain the energy, provide killer riffs, and allow me to think that this album is still 4/5-5/5 range. "Beating around the bush" to "Get it hot": I am now desperate for a recognizable track, or anything resembling a breath of fresh air. Every song now sounds the same, and I'm sick of Scott's screaming vocals that offer no dynamics "If you want blood" to "Night prowler": all hope has been lost. I have succumbed to the AC/DC sound, nothing can save this album at this moment. 1 good track (and 9 other identically-sounding tracks) cannot make a good album. Any of these songs on their own could make their way into a dad-rock playlist, but I'm convinced that this album simply is not made for front-to-back listening. I juggled with different ratings, but if I'm being honest, it really just deserves a... 2/5
God this is a load of rubbish just ooo guitars going grrr and mid singing for an entire fucking album! Lord!
If ever you can hear a band name and know EXACTLY what the music is going to sound like, it is AC/DC. Every single song is the same as the last one. How they have become such a rock juggernaut, nay, behemoth is beyond me. Bang. Sodding. Average. I feel a headache coming on.
I liked a few tracks, Highway to Hell, Tough to Much and If you want blood but overall just not a huge fan of AC/DC. It all blends together
Textbook generic rock by numbers. The guitar tone is the only standout element with a tight bright distortion sound ringing out in the open chords and a generally fun & concise if unoriginal approach to solos. Good clean crisp drum sound too. Otherwise it's just dudes doing rock noises. Pretty stripped back in terms of production. They had a formula and somehow it worked for them for decades, but good God is it tedious. Truly the Top Gear of bands.
Not my cup of tea but it's not bad
Hadn't listened to this in 10 years. Was enjoying the first few tracks before I remembered that I don't listen to AC/DC because all their songs sound the same and are about the same things. Piss off/10.
Highway to hell: such a great album opener. Album is oozing with energy to the point that most of these sounds samey to me. 2* since I enjoyed it more overall than the last few albums, but I don't think I'd revisit it very often.
After two AC/DC albums, I can confirm that I like AC/DC's hits by themselves, but as a whole album it's too much. As I remarked with "Back in Black," there's just no levels here. It got old really quickly after the title track.
Heard before: some For a band that is constantly rewriting the same 2-3 songs, it’s kind of incredible how much the quality can vary track by track. I guess either a lick tickles your lizard brain or it doesn’t, because the lyrics are consistently stupid. But that’s what you expect. This whole thing is pretty much what you expect, I guess, but I don’t think it's the AC/DC record I’ll put on if I want one. Top tracks: If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It), Touch Too Much, Highway to Hell
OK
Liked songs - Highway to Hell, Touch too Much Very famous album by the most famous Australian export on the global music scene. Seems like standard rock n roll music. Nothing overly special. 2
Listened to this while playing A Feast For Odin. I have never listened to an AC/DC album before...though of course I knew the title track. Didn't recognize any of the other songs though. Definitely not my style. I felt so straight after listening to it, I followed it up with Dua Lipa just to balance the scale.
Nostalginen hitti, mutta eipä muuten herätä juuri tunteita. Klisee bändin biisien identtisyydestä näkyy pitävän paikkansa.
Eäh tavallaan ACDC on omassa ACDC-luokassaan (kiitos pääsystä helvettiin satan tää on hyvä mesta) tyylipuhdasta ja siten virheetöntä. Ehkä koko levy kuitenkin tätä kamaa putkeen vähän tökkii. 2/5
It's like the band made the song Highway to Hell (admittedly a decently good song) but then just Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V that song 9 more times with a slightly different shade of paint. You hear one song here, you've heard them all, and they aren't interesting enough outright to want to listen to more than once
2.5
Nostalgisk og til tider kult, men blir for mye slitsom vokal for min smak
I’ve never been a fan of AC/DC’s brand of testosterone driven stadium rock. The most interesting thing about this album is the production. It manages to bring out a richness in what are generally pretty annoying vocals from Bon Scott. The guitars also sound great. The songwriting is boring and/or dumb, every song seems to be another take on lusting over girls, as though the big bad wolf hooting at little red riding with his jaw down wrote all these tracks. It’s basically sex predator rock, it even inspired an infamous serial killer. So yeah, I’d say this is vastly overrated and did not age well.
Probably better suited for a crowded bar in southern Nebraska where everyone is moderately inebriated and is tone deaf but still screams along anyways.
First track is classic but otherwise sucks. Probably great in 1979
I groaned a little when I saw this album pop up, but after the first 2 tracks i thought "hey, maybe it's not so bad". A couple more songs later and nope. The fatigue sets in so quickly with ACDC, people are not exagerrating when they say every song they make sounds the same. It's all the same structure, the same sound, the same tempo, same same same everything. It's 40 minutes but it feels like an hour, 4 minute songs feel like 7. I won't give it a 1 because the songs individually are catchy and fun, but listening to more than 1 in a row just shows how much of a one trick pony they are.
Not for me. I've never liked the singles but thought that was maybe just because they're overplayed, but no, don't like the vocals and the songs all sound very similar to each other. I appreciate that they're good/iconic in this field of "pure" rock but not really for me. Fav track: Touch Too Much
All sounds the same after the title track. Last album by Bon Scot
I'm afraid I have never been a fan of "hard rock" and in trying again, I still don't like it. Highway to Hell will always be kind of fun, but after listening to one song, I'm done.
Mid
File under: Toolbox Rock. It's like KISS but slightly less gross. But only slightly.
Highway to Hell is a banger. The rest is repetitive. It’s all good but a bit one note.
Really having a hard time enjoying this, mostly due to the vocals. Some fairly good bones on a few of the songs though. I'll call it a 2.5. Tolerable, but not for me.
boring
why do those 2 guys look like goblins
you've heard one acdc song you've heard them all
Pretty straightforward. Most of the music is about having sex. Fairly bereft of known songs. Kinda got tiring towards the end. At least it was easy to listen to, though. I'm stuck between a 2 and a 3 but Moby has me feeling slightly less charitable that I'd maybe normally be. Standouts: Highway to Hell, Touch Too Much, Beating Around the Bush
Meh
Classic but hard rock is not my cup of tea. Some great songs in here such as self-titled, Touch Too Much, and Night Prowler. Personally, too many repetitive riffs over saturated across the album.
Of all the hard rock bands and albums, AC/DC hit the sweet spot for gen X with Highway to Hell. It was just loud and heavy enough that dads everywhere in their 40s/50s today love the sense of rebellion, but not too loud or heavy that they're scared by it. To this day, old farts will call into the local classic rock radio station, spouting "J-Lac, b'y can you play some 'Tunderstruck by h'A.C.D.C. K-Rack racks!" And then they crack another beer. The band knows what they're good at and lean heavy into it. Blues riffs with heavy distortion, competent rhythm section, big face-melting solos, goblin vocals. AC/DC are effortlessly cool for 70's in a practical, working man way. The problem largely rests in their lack of consistent quality: you've heard one AC/DC song, you've heard most of them. The exception is their hit songs, which are usually quite good! There is only one hit song on this album. Can you guess what it is? AC/DC stews around in passable hard rock, usually quite bland and unremarkable. Most of Highway to Hell is not worth more than a second look, but you can rip the opening track for your road trip mixtape, so it's got some value in there.
Chugging pub rock
I get it. You like sex, man. All the songs sound the same and I only liked Highway to hell.
Basically the same song 10 times. At least three of them sounded like you shook me all night long, even though it isn't on this album. Highway to hell is a banger mind but another band that should condense their back catalogue into an EP.
Well apparently you just need to write ONE banger of a track and play it on repeat to be regarded as a rock n’ roll legend.
One song I liked but oh so samey. I went with two stars because If You Want Blood reminded me of Empire Records, which isn’t a bad thing.
kind of background music-ey. both of us arent the biggest fan of AC/DC, and it feels like they're playing the same song over and over.
Ну вощем конечно же совсем не мое. Но в фоновом режиме даже не раздражало. Такой стиль
ils ont fait 10 fois highway to hell du coup bon
No great revelation here - it's exactly the same-y aggro blues rock one would expect from an AC/DC album. This is probably the first time I've listened to a whole album of AC/DC since high school. It's not terrible. I don't need to turn it off or leave the room when it comes on or anything - it just ain't my cup of pickle juice. I'm not even invested enough to speak to any difference between Bon Scott era AC/DC and Brian Johnson era. I will say, the original Australian cover was cooler than this one.
It's not terrible, but I got kinda tired of it after a couple of songs.
Not my style, repetitive
Boring
sexiest garbage
About as straightforward as hard rock can get. AC/DC is fun enough but they’ve just got the least interesting/diverse catalogue in all of rock music. I enjoyed it for a while but eventually every song sounded exactly like the previous one. To be fair, AC/DC is leagues better than the punk rock that was also popular in the late 70s.
Don't want to listen to this. Why does Ryan hate me? Whatever "good" is, this is the opposite. Generic butt rock. Every song is the same. Never want to hear highway to hell again. Beating around the bush steals the Oh Well riff Not a complete abomination, so gets a 2. But no. Do better, list person.
It's just okay, pretty repetitive drum beats and guitar riffs. Highway to Hell may be the greatest song ever (by AC/DC) but that just means everything is downhill from that opener. AC/DC has a bunch of good songs but no good albums.
How many beer cans do you have to crush on your head before you're dumb enough to like this album? This is the kind of album listened to by dudes who go to the gym to get noticed by women but are baffled as to why only other dudes comment on their muscles.
Same song 10 times over.
i never liked ac/dc and i still don’t
🤷🏼♀️
Borde ha lyssna på dehär påväg tibaks ti helsingfors tbh
Några bra chunes o lite mer sloppy än back in black.... kändes 20 min längre än det var dock. Ungefär lika varierat som Flockaveli med 10 % av den skivans swag....
I mean, it's not bad, but there is no variation and not my vibe. Sounds like 40 minutes of the same mediocre song.
Not a fan
Dull, monotonous, cookie cutter rock.
i wish i liked this. i tried. i just don't.
I usually give AC/DC a flat 3, but I must be feeling grumpy today because this is really getting on my nerves. Some of the most unimaginative rock of the 70s.
ferdig med acdc
I've been to enough NZ Bbq's
2,5 Not a fan of AC/DC
All 12 songs sound more a less the same
if you want an SG and visions of smelly sex, you go it
I'll take Bon Scott over Brian Johnson any day, but it won't change how irritating they both sound to me. AC/DC's music is just too boring and generic for me. It's constantly playing SOMEWHERE whether you want to hear it or not. I'm so close to hating this band, but they're at least somewhat tolerable here.
I dont mind some ACDC, this is a solid album and probably one of their best.
just not my thing
Not my taste But an iconic tune on it Classic rock Lyrically very complex
Eh. I found this repetitive and kind of boring? I bobbed my head a bit, but then got bored part way through the album.
I expected to like this a lot more. I guess the proto-screamo gets old if it's a whole album at once. Can't deny the hits, but the rest of the album was ... fine.
not my favorite - okay...
Samey. Didn’t make it through.
For all intents and purposes, this entire album is just one 43 minutes long song. It works for some people, just like some people's favorite ice-cream flavor is vanilla. Somebody like me who likes to listen to Radiohead and Pink Floyd is not the target demographic. I like the occasional "Back in Black" or "Thunderstruck" in a rock playlist, but an entire album? Give me a nice scoop of lobster flavored ice cream. That's a real thing by the way.
Not a novel idea but it is basically the same song over and over, blends together. There are worse songs to repeat, but it’s just boring. Best song: Touch Too Much
Langweilig.
1979. Highway to Hell, If You Want Blood
The opening hook is one-of-a-kind, but rest of the record is as forgettable as it is memorable – you hear the crunching guitars on one track, you've heard on all, with lyrics designed to spark #metoo complaints. One big meh serving of troglodytic rock.
Standard radio rock. Not much stands out beyond the title track, If You Want Blood, and Beating Around the Bush.
never really been a fan of AC/DC. I guess when you hear the occasional jam its okay but a whole album was just corny and repetitive.
10 of the exact same songs put together as an album.
Back in black is a great album. This one only has "Highway to Hell" and the rest of the songs are mediocre.
Blandly repetitive outside of the title track, perhaps the only song on this LP with an interesting melody behind it.
Ehhh
all dc discography is a one long and boring song
Doldið hressandi, ekki eitthvað sem ég myndi hlusta á sjálf
"Superproducer 'Mutt' Lange sculpted AC/DC's rough-granite rock into chart-smart boogie on this album."
I mean a decent album but most of the songs sounded just like each other. There was a lack of diversity I think and there weren't any hidden gems in this album. The namesake and shook me all night were the only welcome songs. 4/10
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not an AC/DC fan. There aren't any songs that I'll include in a playlist.
There was enough boring hard rock in the late 70s before this album was added to the heap. There is some interesting guitar playing on this LP long after the title track.
Angus Young is a guitar legend, but I didn't like the vocals.
one okay song
When I was listening I thought every song was around 8 minutes long and was going to comment that they could have made them more snappy. Upon checking after, to my surprise they were all 4 mins long. Bit samey, bit not that good. A couple stood out, but 2 songs is enough ACDC for me thank you.
Album 3 of 1,001. First AC/DC of this run. Title track is great, rest sounds the same as any other AC/DC song. A band that have never really clicked with me, and likely never will.
Each song is a carbon copy of the next. Enjoyable, but repetitive and a bit tiresome.
One trick pony.
Ok, still not a fan
Melodiös hårdrock. Enformig skiva.
Rocks, but not in a way that seems much different or better than their contemporaries. The riffs are well-executed, the lyrical material meh, the vocals consistent. Above average, but there are too many exemplary hard rock albums out there. Other albums.
2 stars
Nah
This hardly feels like the definitive AC/DC album that one must listen to.
nice pop rock but................nice pop rock
Dated. Rebellious at the time but that energy isn't enough to carry it today. Musically very monotone
Not the biggest AC/DC fan, but as far as AC/DC albums go this is probably the one I would be most likely to listen to.
I might have appreciated this if it were my first time hearing it, but I burnt myself out on AC/DC years ago.
None of the other songs compared to the title track
I don't like AC/DC at all. I'm pretty sure it's that voice, it grates on my nerves nd drives me mad. Without that nails on a blackboard singing I might quite enjoy this band.
Too much radio play killed this for me.
Don’t really enjoy listening to full albums of theirs... maybe a Greatest Hits would be nice.
5/10, a good time, but nothing about it really sticks with you. Middling at best
Meat and potatoes stuff going down here; with a large side order of innuendo. Not for me
mais sem sal que feijão em self service paulista chato, repetitivo e cansado, que nem tudo que essa banda de formas de corrente elétrica sempre fez
More shite
this all sounded the same after 3 songs
Förstår väl grejen med albumet men det är fan rätt trist alltså, lite hesa skrik och riff sen är det rätt trist. Samma sak hela albumet
Not my tang
This album certainly sent me to hell, in a "I am being eternally punished" way.
Fine, I like the hits, but this largely sounds the same to all other rock of this time
Repetitive and boring.
Partimos de la base de que no me gusta nada ACDC pq no aguanto la voz de este señor. (Update: de momento he escuchado 5 canciones y he tenido que hacer un descanso porque mi cabeza no puede más (maybe no es el mejor disco para escuchar mientras trabajo)). Mi conclusión es que este disco/grupo requiere de una escucha MUY activa para no tener la sensación de que llevas 41 minutos y 35 segundos escuchando la misma canción. Si tengo que salvar una canción, posiblemente sea Night Prowler, que no ha estado mal, podría decirse incluso que me ha gustado.
That Australian cover is as good as the album. 1/5
Man, I just can't make myself like AC/DC. I've tried many times, and gave it a good shot this time - but I just can't. This ain't for me.
I just do not like AC/DC
Acdc is overplayed
Not my cup of tea
I dont get the hype behind this album dont like it at all 1.7/10
terrible voice technique and sound. mid riffs
song i didn't dislike: highway to hell drunkcore, obnoxious, exhausting 10/100
Not as bad as I thought it would be but not good. Foghat was better at this kind of Rock
This is such a chore to listen to. I guess this is what happens when you can't stand their one song.
There are many things you can do before you die. Listening to this shit is one of them. You can do it, but ask yourself, should you? should you really do it? should you really listen to this shit? should you really do it motherfucker? S H O U L D Y O U?
I've never been able to stand these guys - every song sounds the same and someone needs to tell them that screaming isn't the same thing as singing.
I have no more words for how much I detest this group.
I hate this band
Amazing instrumentals, ruined by awful vocals. That's AC/DC. All their music is the same, I almost admire their lack of willing to change, but their does come a point where they are really taking the piss. I really think that if you take the repetitive formula and absolutely god awful vocals out of their music, you would have something amazing, dare I say even in a similar league to the likes of Led Zeppelin and bands in that vein. But unfortunately, they completely ruined it in favour of the style that they are so famous for.
Nope! Next...
No
I love the SONG highway to hell/ACDC in general… as an album I just am taken back to cutting weight for wrestling in high school.
Fine and glad I listened, but not my jam.
Cannot listen to this at all
Sounds like a fat turd
Sucks butt
Annoying as hell
This went on forever and scored 0/10 for the duration pretty much, albeit with a possible half mark for the title track given the opening riff and that the connection always makes me laugh when anyone mentions “Highway to Holiness” a VCFS organisation based in Haringey… I’d be up for albums on weekends too if others are? Tom.
not my taste at all
Honestly not my favorite, I thought most songs sounded the same and blended into each other
I don't like AC/DC. All the songs feel the same.
i really dont like ac/dc
Thank you for reminding me how much I do not like this band. I get the appeal to this band but my God it does not appeal to me. I honestly wish it did. I wish I see what so many people see in one of, if not, the greatest and most important hard rock band in music, but I just don't. And that's okay.
stupid
Nej tak
Pues me escuche el disco pero fue como escuchar una cancion solo porque ha sido muy monotono exceptuando la que ya conocia
This is so boring. I get that their sound was unique but it was an hour in hell for me.
Thought some of these songs were never going to end. 1/5 ⭐️
this album gets worse with age
Straightforward powerrock
I didn't want to listen to it again, I listened it in my youth and now I see it as a bland album.
not my type
Dogwater
Boring, stopping listening 1/3 of way through.
GET ME OUT OF HERE
Fast paced riff laden laddish metal rock not unlistenable but then why would I not really my thing.
the title track rips but unfortunately there are 9 other songs after it
Like quite a lot of the guitar and rhythm section work - fun in a classic pop way (could easily be Sweet, T-Rex or early Bowie). But god, those vocals, lyrics and image. Just so irritating and offputting.
It's clearly not a season ticket
not a fan
Not really my thing. There is a time and place for some of AC/DC's biggest singles, Highway To Hell being one of them, though I've never been enticed to listen to an album of theirs. Having done so, I'm even less inclined. Feels harsh to rate it one star, but I can't find much to enjoy in this. Best Tracks: - Highway To Hell Worst Tracks: - Girls Got Rhythm - Walk All Over You Rating: 2/10
Awful
Just can’t get on board with these guys. The lyrics are basic with a sophomoric subject matter. Vocals are just annoying. I do respect their impact on metal.
SHITTY ALBUM HOLY FUCK
