Reviews (page 14 of 14)
Refrões antêmicos, solos de guitarra grandiosos, letras simples e chicletes... Elementos do chamado Hard Rock, mas que eu prefiro chamar de Rock Bunda. Sempre tive um preconceito grande com essa banda, mas nunca tinha ouvido esse disco inteiro, apenas a faixa titular (muitas e muitas vezes, contra minha vontade). O veredito? Meh. É OK, inofensivo, lendo na wikipedia descobri que na verdade o vocalista que eu detesto foi o que veio no disco posterior a esse, Back In Black, o tal do Brian Johnson. Os vocais daquele cara eu verdadeiramente detesto. Os vocais de Bon Scott eu só não gosto mesmo, não chega a ser ódio. Na metade do álbum eu ja tava pronto pra ele acabar logo. Toda canção é igual. Isso é ótimo se você gosta do som da banda, mas eu não gosto. A melhor parte desse álbum foi quando percebi que ele foi lançado em 1979 e me lembrou um outro álbum que lançou no mesmo ano. Unknown Pleasures, do Joy Division. E assim que a última faixa disso acabou (processo árduo, a ultima faixa, Night Prowler, é de longe a mais insuportável de todo o disco, ao final dos 6 agoniantes minutos eu já estava desenvolvendo uma enxaqueca), fui la ouvir aquele disco que é monstruosamente superior a esse. 1/5
Lowest common denominator music. Only listened to it once, where I've tried to give every record here two shots. There's no point, and no additional value I could gain from more time spent with Angus and the crew.
Maybe the worst vocals on an album I've ever heard, this is unlistenable 1/5
God can this list please include some fucking half decent hard rock so I don't have to keep giving them bad reviews and have it as one of the lowest reviewed genres on my profile. This album is like the opposite of of ahead of its time. It sounds like if someone in the 50s decided to make a hard rock album. It's so quintessentially cringe Gen X, the type of Gen X who votes Pauline Hanson, complains about woke and the Satantic imagery of the French Olympics despite this being their favourite album. I'm convinced this album sounded dated on the day it came out despite releasing in '79. A truly miserable experience. 2/10
Hate this band hate this song im giving it a 1 based off of vibes
Not my type especially after 30s ages..
This record is ass.
Grow up.
Refused to listen.
*No music, just noise and screaming.
Another one I just really did not like. This is my second AC/DC album I got since I started this, the other one was Back In Black. Both of them have been 1/5 for me. But I've been told their early stuff is better so I'll give that a shot too. So my actual problem with AC/DC is that it feels like they write songs about being jerks to women solely to try to impress other dudes and I like music that is about being jerks to women to impress no one. Like the day before this I got Magazine, another misogynist band, and that band is cool because at least Howard Devoto doesn't write about it that would impress middle school boys. He almost talks about love in a way that a homeless man on the bus would give me an anecdote without me asking him. So that's why Magazine rules and AC/DC sucks. That and every AC/DC song sounds exactly the same to me. I don't like AC/DC.
Not interesting.
A younger me would hate me saying this but, Highway to hell is the best song on this album and the rest is pretty meh
that's super tasteless bullshit
Genuinely one of my least favorite listening experiences ever. Back In Black I went into knowing I'd dislike because every hit there is the bane of my existence, but I had some small hope that the deep cuts here would be better in some way, shape, or form. But, nope! In fact, every single song here is arguably the exact same track as the last, and when it finally bothers to change it up on the final track, it may be different, but it's still bad. Seriously, you guys critique the hip hop albums for their objectification of women and their repetitive lyrics, but at least they don't have Angus Young producing the most mediocre guitar riff on top of that. I just fail to see how anyone cares for this band. You want high octane energy? Go five over the speed limit, you'll get about the same high.
reminds me of my old roommate who was obsessed with ac/dc objectively they are talented but subjectively this genre sucks and so did my roommate
i hated it
Never seen so much filler in an album Bon Scott died on this shit
Ughhhh..... not a fan of this band. I only know the title track here so we'll see. Yeah, no. Terrible. Not for me at all.
I'm pretty sure that if you fed 5 random AC/DC songs into an AI, it could produce a discography so similar to the real one that no one would be able to tell the difference
Can’t bring myself to listen to this. I HATE this band. 1 star
assurdo che questa merda abbia 3.54 di rating su rym

Although I listen hard rock at some times, I dislike AC/DC, mainly because of this terrible screaming voice. And the stage performance in a schoolboys uniform when you are over 50-60 years old is ridicoulous.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE GOBLIN SLEEP PARALYSIS MONSTERS. they look so inbred. free me highway to hell- :I 😐. 2 girls got rhythm- 3 walk all over you- 2. so sleepy. im not even making it halfway through these songs for my own sanity touch too much- 4 beating around the bush- had to stop the song to watch trainspotting youtube shorts in order to calm down shot down in flames- stop. 4 or 5 get it hot- 2 if you want blood- :( thats me having to hear this. 2 love hungry man- enough. 3 night prowler- i refuse they shouldve faced time for this album. i cant give you a zero so i give you a one
every single song this band makes sounds exactly the same.
blah blah blah. Couple ok ones but man they had boring material and his voice is like nails on a chalkboard after a while
Не нравится
This sounds like sparkles singing the whole time but worse
No not my cup of tea
I feel like I was on a highway to hell listening to this album.
Eh, well known AC/DC
Not my cuppa.
You know I really tried going into this with an open mind considering how much I absolutely loathe the title track. I hate being dismissive but this is everything I hate about this era of hard rock. The riffs and playing are present, but they're utterly wasted on these monotonous and shallow excuses for hard rock songs. For one, I cannot stand these yelpy and shrieky vocals. This is a general gripe I have with this era of rock but they're extra intolerable here because of how shallow I find most of the writing to be. Except for maybe 'If You Want Blood (You've Got It)', the anthemic choruses are nothing to write home about either as they all stick to this very predictable sound and progression. I'll give the closing track 'Night Prowler' some credit, it's certainly more ambitious on both the structural and lyrical fronts. Lyrically it's a lot more sinister than most of the other affectionately written songs here. I don't know how to feel about it, but at least it's different and it grooves pretty hard in the second half. Again, the playing is good and the riffs are muddy and dirty as I'd expect out of this genre, but that's a minimum requirement to even be qualified as hard rock. What truly matters is how well you can expand on those rudimentary sounds and piece them together to make memorable songs; something this album fails horribly at for me. There's a distinct sound attached to AC/DC and it's one that I hope I don't have to listen to again for a long time. Even this album cover pisses me off.
Bad bad and more bad
Not for me
Not a popular opinion, but I just never liked their music. Like most people, I've heard many of their songs throughout my life, and I still find it extremely repetitive. (How many times can you repeat the song title during a chorus ?) I honestly think some people enjoy it simply because it's presented as a classic...
Ugh. So samey. Do not like, this one is even worse than Back In Black. I was almost tempted to skip listening to this but forced myself. Listens: 1 Fave Track: None Rating: 1
Dorky as hell, not cool at all
Fine, if you don't listen to the lyrics.
Bit much for me.
Bland, Generic
I had always heard the “all AC/DC” songs sound the same thing but after two of their albums in one week, it’s even worse than I thought.
This music is not to my taste.
Nah fuck this shit lmao it's so boring to me
F u I'm not putting this on
This album is the same song played 12 times
There's wimp rock and then theirs dumb rock. This is dumb rock where screaming seems to matter. Don't ask me ... I've never had the luxury of shutting down my brain.
This album screams 50 year old white conservative truck driver and “I was born in the wrong generation” type music. It’s aged Terribly, the guitar solo are forgettable and corny, and these vocals are so painful. I could barely distinguish between songs they all use the same formula, I’m glad this is 40 minutes cause I don’t know how much more I could take.
Piss poor
you dont really expect me to listen to this AGAIN do you???
:( hate it
meh
OK
Did not enjoy this one really. I don't like ACDC and this just didn't change that whatsoever.
Wish I could give zero stars. I fucking hate this band and I can’t believe I listened to this entire thing. I can listen to any album now
Things from Australia I'd sooner experience than listening to this mediocre paint by numbers band and their nails on a chalkboard voice having lead singer again: - a kick to the balls from a kangaroo - a Vegemite enema - being a practice dummy for the national rugby team - sharing a small bathtub with five Tasmanian devils during mating season - giving Robert Murdoch a food massage while listening to him talk about ethics in media One broken electric plug out of five 🔌
Amongst the most dogshit things I've ever had to listen to.
AC/DC are basically the epitome of the style of boring classic rock that I just can't get behind no matter how much people hype it up. The lyrics are trite and the songwriting is too straightforward. Some of the guitar tones and soloing are nice though I will admit.
Leiðigjarnt rokk. Nennissiggi.
My goodness, this is seriously sh!te
Has always been one of the classic rock bands that irritates me the most. I hate the sound of the guitars and vocals, the repetitive choruses, and the macho lyrics.
ughhhh nein
AC/DC is an exemplary 80s rock band, it's just that I really, REALLY dislike 80s rock bands.
Po tylu latach sie czlowiek wreszcie dowiedzial skad ta podswiadoma odraza do pradowej bandy, a okazalo sie, ze chlopaki z najwiekszej na swiecie kolonii karnej pochodza, co jest pewnie glownym czynnikiem dlaczego te wokale tak potrafia rozsierdzic czleka nawet o spokojnym usposobieniu, kolejna niespodzianka bylo to, ze nie jest to ich debuitancki material czy tez jakis wczesny, bo to szosty album w dyskografii z roku 79, sama banda juz dziala od 73 i nadal tworzy muzyce dla napalonych boomerow, a z pozytywnych zaskoczen, to glownego pana wyjacego nie ma na tym materiale, bo dopiero po tym albumie pan Bon Scott, og wokalista bandy sie wywrocil i jego miejsce zajal Johnson, ale przechodzac do samego highway to hell, to przed odsluchlem znalem jedynie tytulowego traka, ktory jest jednym z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych numerow zespolu i po przesluchaniu 41 minutowej plyty utwierdzilem sie jedynie w przekonaniu, ze sluszenie tylko jeden numer wyroznica sie z calego albumu, ktory jest doslownie zawodzeniem wyposzczonego upadlego czleka, z kawalka na kawalek caly czas o tym samym, jak by to patelki byly robione, rymci cimri rymci, wiec nie dziwne, ze banda zyskala taka popularnosc jako hardo rokowa banda radio przyjazna, wiekszosc kawalkow zamyka sie w standardowych 4 minutach i jest instrumentalnie tak powtarzalna, ze ma sie wrazenie, ze polowa materialu to rozne wersje jednej piosenki, bracia Young postarali sie zeby gitarki byly mocno przesterowane, wiec nie ma mowy o jakis ambitnych brzmieniach, a jest lupanie po lopacie, jedynie pochwalic sie da pana drumersa Rudda, zwlaszcza na trakach gdzie sa one wyeksponowane na z przodu sceny ratuje on czesc instrumentalna plyty, jak na kawalkach shot down in flames czy tytulowy highway to hell, podszedlem do albumiku bez zadnych oczekiwan i odchodze po przesluchu bez rozczarowania, bo jednak ac/dc to chyba jedna z najbardziej przehajpowanych band mainstreamowego rocka, ale przynajmniej wiem juz cos wiecej poza tym, ze strasznie wyja, juz wiem kto wyje, po co wyje i o czym wyje, bardzo edukacyjny pick listowy, na plejke juz nic nie dodaje, bo tytulowy traczek jest wystarczajaca pamiatka po tej plycie
While never being big fan, I’ve always liked the way ACDC rebounded after their singer died, finding a guy who sounded like Bon Scott with his balls in a vice and putting out a mourning album, which turned out to be one of the greatest selling albums of all time. That said, if I were to compare this to the Van Halen offering from a while back, I’d give VH the nod in the late-70s-commercial-rock-I-didn't-like-then-or-now category.
When there are a 1,001 albums to listen to you irnevitably get some gems and some dreck. This is the latter unfortunately.

Just no.
Loved Highway to Hell, swear the rest all sounded very similar.
No thanks, already heard all the AC/DC I ever need to hear.
-Title track is a hella simple song, vocalist is the main star of it for sure. Makes me feel like I'm driving down the road sunny day wearing a leather jacket and I have a beautiful woman alongside me who has like, 10 piercings. -Girl's got Rhythm: I think this song is about sex!!! -Wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this but it's good background music for a road trip like at the beginning where motivation is high and we have lots of caffeine.
Just getting into this album. Love the title track
