Horny! Fun. Very samey. Night prowler is a good bluesy anthem. 2.5 rounded to 3
I’ve never gone out of my way to listen to AC/DC besides what’s on the radio and movie trailers or whatever. I’m not sure what I expected- maybe a little more variety? This was fine but samey-samey to my ear.
This was an interesting first pull because I’ve actually been re-discovering my love for this album already prior to today. I’m absolutely floored by how crispy and crunchy the whole thing sounds. Bon was the man. Guitars sound flawless. Favorite track is STILL ‘Touch Too Much’.
Es bueno solo no es para mi la vd
Clean and mean
I mean, you know what you’re getting with an AC/DC album, but they do it damn well.
To me this is one of the greatest albums of all time, so many classics. They’re unbeaten when it comes to a great amped up rock song with satisfying riffs. Such a strong album early on for them too. I love it this was already a classic to me. Such consistent high energy music.
This happens to be my favourite AC-DC album. Back in Black is good but I always preferred Bonn Scott to Brian Johnson who most of the time likes to belt out his vocals at a high pitch most of the time while Bonn Scott's vocal style stays varied between high and low, while still maintaining consistent energy throughout most albums of his era. This album is no exception. I can't really think of another album that perfectly encapsulates classic rock and includes so many memorable guitar riffs, while channelling the classic sounds of Blues rock but not having the style of music overshadow the whole album. Touch too much is my favourite song from it.
8/10
I didn’t like it
Repetitive and boring.
Tengo la sensación de haber escuchado la misma canción durante 40 minutos. Menos Walk All Over You que me ha gustado de verdad.
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.
Primera canción bien. Luego a partir de ahí todo se hace un barullo y suena todo igual y no se cuando acaba una y empieza la siguiente. Aún con eso puedo entender lo icónico que es estar haciendo esto en los 70.
A solid rocker.
i never quite liked hard rock, generally isn't particularly pleasant for me
Full of bangers, iconic album from a legendary band
Familiarity not making an album good is true here. I liked it because I know it. But I loved the song Nightcrawler
While I love AC/DC, they are the definition of a band that puts out the same album over and over. That said, this, along with every other album rocks so hard. 8/10.
That Australian cover is as good as the album. 1/5
Beside the obvious reason why this album is meaningful as the eponymous track makes or breaks this record, it feels quite bland compared to AC/DC's next record in Back to Black. It is also on the monotonous side with too many songs sounding like a Highway to Hell rip-off. 7/10 [DROP]
The best 3 chords, played for 40 minutes. Simple, but it’s so effective
I bloody love me some AC/DC so this is a long time favourite of mine. Touch Too Much is up there with my favourite songs of theirs. I will say though for being their most famous song, I would rank 4-5 songs on the album ahead of Highway To Hell. Top Track - Touch Too Much
I expected more from this.
Repeat listen
This album really won me over. I never listened to this album in full, and going into it I assumed that it would be filled with songs I've heard on classic rock radio many times and have lost their luster, despite their influence. Even though it's clear how this album (and AC/DC more generally) influenced countless bands for years to come, the riffs are more timeless than I thought - there's a primordial essence to them that's hard to deny. This album is just plain ol' fun rock. Perhaps it's a 4.5, but I'm rounding it to 5 by the surprise it gave me.

Tiresome, repetitive and annoying. You've heard the first track and you've heard them all... I'll give credit to the energy, the guitar riffs and the high octane vocal delivery - even if he sounds like a goblin giving birth, it still fits with the overall sound of the record. AC/DC is fine for a song or two, but 41 minutes of it is not for the faint of heart. Average. 2.5/5
A classic album that everyone should own
Album #106: Highway to Hell - AC/DC Genre (W): Hard rock, blues rock Singles: Highway to Hell, Girls Got Rhythm, Touch Too Much I have not listened to this album before. Thoughts?: I love Highway to Hell, the song. I think it’s a song with catchy songwriting and a thunderous riff. And a few of these songs are pretty good too. However, I’ve noticed that a lot of these songs sound pretty much the same, so therefore, the album starts to feel stale and boring. Great opening, but almost everything else lacks. Favorite songs: Highway to Hell, Girls Got Rhythm, Touch Too Much, Beating Around the Bush
My fourth 70s record in a row. This band were never one of my favourites, though I have some respect for length and breadth of their popularity. Title track has a certain effectiveness (good at what it does). It occurs to me that I should compare/contrast this music (which I would have seen as blokes' pub rock) with the guitar-y punk I was often hearing at the time (which was also often quite blokey, but not only). Both could have a lot of repetitive unison guitar/bass, and lots of shouty tenor vocals. AC/DC is definitely slower (sometimes plodding in pub rock mode), also its energy relies on accuracy of playing simple rhythms, where punk was frantic and desperate, and commonly energy and inspiration were more important than accuracy. AC/DC has swagger, but zero irony. AC/DC has lots of lyrics about sex, which sound braggart, whereas punk would be more delirious without claims of mastery. AC/DC has verse, where the best punk had poetry. Is that too harsh? Here are some stand out AC/DC lyrics: "Don't know what your name is ... I want to take you tonight ... Don't want no conversation ... all I want to do is make a meal out of you, 'Cause I'm a love hungry man". (And this is not a critique but an anthem.) First nine songs, I'd say negligible musical or emotional variety. Final song, Night Prowler, brings some dynamic range, but the lyrics (and total tone of music and delivery) are repugnant. So, such variety of emotional engagements as is offered, is not attractive. I am reinforced in my sense of "what AC/DC sounds like", but there is nothing here I would want to play again. It's Pretty Poor, 3/10.
Ik weet niet of ik het mag zeggen, maar de stap van Bon Jovi naar dit is eigenlijk niet zo heel groot volgens mij. Toch kan ik dit beter hebben. Zoals ik bij een ander album al noteerde: Ze vallen onder m'n gedoogbeleid. Als ik heel eerlijk ben vind ik ook AC/DC niet super geweldig hoor, dus wat dat betreft ga ik mezelf nu niet te ongeloofwaardig maken. Het album begint met de grootste hit en daarna krijg je nog 9 nummers die grofweg allemaal een beetje hetzelfde zijn. Of ze zijn wel verschillend maar maken individueel niet echt indruk, dat zou ook kunnen. Ik gaf het andere album 4 sterren, ik denk dat ik er nu één meer op zak hou. 3 sterren dus.
I feel bad ass like I should be smoking a cigarette
A rock/metal classic. Some banging riffs, albeit some songs feel a little samey but overall pretty iconic
good classic rock, makes me want to rewatch supernatural lol. if i'm being honest it's mostly the title track that does it for me though.
This album is the embodiment of nostalgia. When I listen to this, I remember the times that me and my friends were riding in my ‘68 Firebird throughout the summer of ‘79 causing havoc wherever we went. I wasn’t even born then, but I definitely feel like I should remember that when listening to this album! Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the vibe this album gives me.
Iconic put listening to it I realize I had never listening completely before this time so I was amazing
It was alright, very repetitive and I'm not a fan of Angus Youngs voice but by god can these guys write a guitar solo.
Hard Rock Favorite Songs: Highway to Hell, Girl’s Got Rhythm Least Favorite Song: Honestly, they all sound the same, so let’s go with…Night Prowler, I guess? While the album sounds so professionally and the lyrics are fine in my opinion, I don’t think that I would want to sit down and listen to the entire album all the way through. While I can handle the band’s same kind of discography in small doses via if I put the songs on shuffle, I will get bored very easily if I ever decide to listen to the full album. This is due to hearing about the fans saying that they use the same three chord progressions at different keys, and while it’s fine that the song structure can sound a bit samey or basic, it’s more so that I don’t want to physically own the album and pop it in a CD or vinyl player. 6/10
It’s just a flat out great rock album. Easy 4
An album from my high school days. For me, music you really had to get used to back then. Oh, how rough it was...
If you ever get a job washing dishes in a restaurant, put this album in the tape player and the night will fly by. The chef might even make you something special when the shift is over.
My top list of all time. Classic collection from Kings of Rock. can’t help it!
After listening to the excellent Back in Black, Highway to Hell has a lot to live up to as its predecessor. And I'll be honest... it doesn't quite get there. When a single track boasts roughly 20x the number of streams as the next most-listened-to one, you have to ask yourself: is this album worth its weight? I'm reminded of Dexys Midnight Runners's "Too Rye Ay" album, with Come On Eileen at 850 million streams and Jackie Wilson Said, the next biggest, at just 9 million. Regardless: Very spirited performances in every song. The guitars and vocals are pretty fantastic, and the bass/drums don't slack off either. AC/DC is clearly an incredible live band. I'd love to hear an extended solo or three from their prime days. Girls Got Rhythm is straight up Bitch (from the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers) but with a different singer. Shot Down in Flames, interestingly, is also extremely comparable to Bitch. Those riffs are near-identical, down to the key. I hope AC/DC paid their due royalties. The source material is great, though, so Girls Got Rhythm is great by extension. Next we have Walk All Over You: catchy but ultimately forgettable on account of lacking any memorable hooks or melodies. But it's performed so damn well. I can't hate these guys. All the "metal gatekeepers" in the reviews section need to realise that (a) the band isn't obviously intending to be metal, and (b) AC/DC was popular for a reason. You need to take that into account. Judging music needs to involve a solid understanding of its cultural impact. And HtH was a behemoth back in the day. If You Want Blood (You've Got It)... heck yeah. That's the riff I was looking for. The crowd-singing fadeout at the end is the cherry on top. Later, in the intense finale Night Prowler, a great guitar solo cements the listener's belief that this is a band to be reckoned with. By this point in the album, you've noticed – and accepted – the fact that every song has the same texture and bounces back and forth between just a couple of keys. But it's okay. It's AC/DC, bitch! 4/5 Key tracks: Highway to Hell, Touch Too Much, If You Want Blood (You've Got It)
Top notch...
While my appetite for listening to this, go pleasure, is limited, I nonetheless enjoyed the album and appreciate it for what it is: good rock music. Probably good to run to, or similar
This is the first AC/DC album I've listened to start to finish and it's a solid one. I like AC/DC more than I realized based just on the odd random hit I've heard over the years. This album rocks.
Bon Scott is the man!! This album is pure perfection. I think this album launched AC/DC into super stardom. Too bad it was Bon's final masterpiece. This is one of my all time favorite albums ever recorded.
It might be formulaic, but they damn near created the formula and have done it better than anyone else. With Bon Scott, they were so good at bringing that sleazy, dirty, grimy feel to rock music in such a fun way. This album never gets old.
Now this is pure dopamine. Loved it.
I enjoyed listening to this album while driving. I was only familiar with the title track but found I enjoyed a couple of the riffs and beats. I doubt I’d buy this or recommend to a friend though. 3/5.
a great aussie album, some really good tracks that you don’t normally get to hear
Well I liked this, I didn’t think I would like any of their stuff😂
Listened to this way too many times as a child to enjoy it now.
Cool album
Fantastic production and performance.
AC/DC perfected their craft. It may be simple, but there's some really catchy songs on this album. As a rock and metal enthusiast, you'd think I'd like this more but their simplicity has bored me more often than it's entertained me.
Better than the last one , but still too heavy
Favorite Track: Walk All Over You
whoa, this takes me back.
Dico la veritá ero partito con il pregiudizio che album come questo fossero piú classici e noiosi; se non fosse per questo sito probabilmente non sarei andato a cercarlo. Invece mi sono ricreduto completamente, canzoni strapiene di energia, mi é piaciuto un casino Ho iniziato ad usare il sito proprio per questo motivo, scoprire canzoni fuori da quello che ascolto di norma, o fuori dall'idea di quello che sono sicuro che mi piace
Pretty good, I think I crap on AC/DC a bit too much because they were never able to make anything new after the death of Bon Scott. This and some of the previous albums are much better than I give them credit for because all of the later albums just sound like discarded demos from the original three projects that brought them their fame, and it made me just tired of the sound in general.
miau podobał mi się bardziej niż back in black
music is love
it sounded pretty good probably a 2.9
this is a better album than the one with “weve got big balls” but barely. these dudes are cornball, cheesebuckets. yikes.
Siis ihan hauska. Ajaessa hittas ja ihan mukavia grooveja ja hyvä meininki kaikinpuolin. Levyn puolivälin jälkeen alko vähän kyllästyttää, miten kaikki biisit on neljää sointua, peruskomppia ja boomerbend-kitarasooloja, mutta ei voi varsinaisesti sanoa, että biisien taso huomattavasti laskis, vähän vaa kyllästyy. Hauska on hyvä sana kuvaamaa tätä levyä, mutta jossain kohtaa kaikki biisit alkaa vaa kuulostaa samalta ja tylsiltä.
that was not as good as I expected
People always make fun of AC/DC for making the same song over and over, but while I was listening to this album I tried to imagine an alternate universe where they experimented with disco beats, or maybe power ballads, or tried their hands at incorporating electronic elements. I couldn’t do it.
I don't really like the contemporaries of AC/DC. Cock rock never really did it for me except for what these guys produced. I hear the music, and I think about those guys who like to talk big but when it comes down to it they're kinda himbos and just big softies and are all shy and silly. I don't know why I think this. It's completely illogical. I like both lead singers of AC/DC. Why are we always comparing them and picking a better one? They can just be different y'all.
Classic, exactly the right length. Ended as I was getting fed up.
No soy chica acdc, tanto griterio me molesta y siento que todas las canciones son iguales 4/10
There’s only so much AC/DC I can do in a row because the songs start to blend together at a certain point. But how can you deny the simplicity and the straight forward pop character of a hard rock album like this. The production is obscenely good, I was surprised at how great this album sounds. Hard not to like
My Last.fm stats say I have not relistened to AC/DC since I was in high school, which is to say a long time ago. AC/DC is a band that does what they do best: chugging riffs and making music for you to drink to. High floor, low ceiling: you know the expectations and if you just need them to be met and that's all: they're perfect. The Bon Scott era makes people forget how big they were before they insanely won the music lottery again and became Icons. Give AC/DC their due, they are pretty good with riffs. The hooks would improve with Back in Black however. Highway to Hell (the song) is one of the many AC/DC songs that will be some part of the human international songbook alongside the Beatles, Hallelujah, Seven Nations Army, and Mr. Brightside. People will remember these songs (for better and worse) long in the future over most things we listen to in the current era. People are gonna still pick up guitars and want to play and sing this song live. God it must have been fucking crazy to see AC/DC in their Bon Scott prime and Brian Johnson prime. Their early live performances are what drove attention to them and moved them from Australian's darlings to an incredibly big Rock and Roll band across the world. Highway to Hell (the album) was a great breakthrough for the band and got them to be big outside of their home country. The album itself is filled with half good songs (title track, Walk All Over You, Touch Too Much, Show Down in Flames and If You Want Blood (You've Got It). They follow the AC/DC formula successfully. The others are either too bland or just not great. But the riffs man, the riffs are quite powerful.
Raucous fun from the Down Underworld
Good
A perfect exemplar of a time long gone. Released in the second half of 1979, Highway to Hell was the last album to feature singer Bon Scott before his untimely death. The title track is iconic and the whole album rocks and swings hard while still having some pop and commercial sensibilities. But for 1979, this was still dangerous music for rebel kids dressed in a denim vest uniform, adorned with patches from hard rock and metal bands. AC/DC would rise to new heights with their next album, Back in Black, but Highway to Hell shows them at the pinnacle of their musical creativity, which makes it even more tragic that Bon Scott would die less than a year after it's release. The world will never know what AC/DC could have been like if they continued to be fronted by Scott; but they left us this jam to crank up in his memory.
oh ok
AC/DC is a strange band that somehow manages to create at least one really great song per album that becomes an all time classic. And then proceed to spend the rest of their albums creating simple generic rock songs that are so hard to hate and also love they just kind of exist.
It's a solid 3. An enjoyable listen. Probably won't listen again. Nice sounding rhythm guitar, not so into the guitar hero lead. The vocal style isn't my cup of tea.
I wasn’t expecting to like many songs from this album because I’ve always had this idea on how rock music all sounds like noise and super similar. While listening to this I found some songs actually pretty good like walk over you. I could picture some as theme songs if I’m ever running.
I live pretty close to Bon Scott's hometown (who treat him like the second coming of Christ) so I have 0 issue to say that I don’t care for this album whatsoever. Just imagined Charlie Kelly singing these songs and it both enhanced the experience but also made it so I couldn’t take it seriously Solid 5/10
Yeah, ok….This was a bomb plopped on the 80’s. Lots of folks went nuts for these guys, and I was in the correct demographic at the time. Should’ve fallen in line, but I strayed to punk instead. Just couldn’t abide by the mainstream conformers. I’ll agree with others… it all does all sound the same. Can’t deny their impact, but 3 is the best I can do.
Solid hard rock record (made me want to watch Maximum Overdrive again lol) with pretty much a perfect first side. The music ain't high art, but for its purpose, it's exactly what you need, from both a production and songwriting perspective. I like "Touch Too Much" the most.
Agnes and his absolutely vibe factory is the only thing keeping this out the 1 bucket. Idiom Rock, sing the hook 3 times, rip a solo, so damn predictable every track. I knew it was gunna do this dang trick lol
I read somewhere that highway to hell is in the top 5 of selected funeral songs, and I think that’s beautiful ✨
Light 3,5
2.94255
Me genera un movimiento involuntario, agitar la cabeza con toda libertad, muy buen álbum para apreciarlo, me hace recuerdo bastante a un juego llamado guitar heroe, supongo que e encuentro un gusto por mis hermanos
Really good music !! They’re talented asf. Very groovy x Fav song is “Touch Too Much’.
Hard charging rock, led by the incredible vocals of Bon Scott and complimented by Angus and Malcolm with Cliff and Phil lending their talents. Incredible rock and roll album. It is a 4.5 (not perfect) but since you can't give a half star, it is a full 5.
Not the most adventurous band, to say it soft, but they sure can rock.
honestly i dont love ac dc anymore i just find a lot of the music grating, especially the popular hits i've grown sick of. this album was mostly tolerable except for the title track though.
The godfathers of 80s rock. Definitely worth its place in the pantheon.
Excellent title track, great preparation for a day in the hills.
Tricky one this one. Listened the first time and loved the energy coupled with nostalgia. Listened the second time and got bored. A generous 4*
One of the greatest rock albums of all time,and one that's ageing disgustingly well. Of course much of it sounds the same, but who gives a shit when it's this good. Just don't listen too hard to the lyrics. 5*
7/10
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.
it's really unfortunate how much better AC/DC was in the Bon Scott era. i think this album does fall into the AC/DC pit of having only one song repeated a bunch, but at least it's a pretty solid song this time. hell, (pun intended) i think the world would be missing something without the title track. top shelf boomer rock. i listen to it often, but i listen to this album never (other than my first listen and for this project), because it never quite perfects the formula again. deserves to be one of the 1001? i think ignoring this band would be a misstep even if i find them easy to leave in the past. but keep it to this, ok?
I don't have to listen to this to rate it. I used to scare my nana by leaving this album around the place. This is an absolute belter. Classic Aussie hard rock. Night Prowler is my favourite under rated song. If You Want Blood is iconic. The whole album is just so good - easiest 5 stars ever
Always fun and high energy.
I like later albums more
06/01 Classic album. Not a bad song on it
repetitivo
The album certainly rocks.
My kind of music 🤘🏿
I just do not like AC/DC
classic just not my style
I found it quite repetitive. However, it has some memorable sounds. I really liked the choice of opening track. Ignoring the song's popularity, it's powerful, it's memorable, and it represents well what the album will be like next.I felt like I was back in my childhood, listening to my neighbor's old-school rock music.
Acdc is overplayed
Highway to Hell... palabras muy mayores. Disco mítico, el último de Scott, antes de otra bestia como Back in black, Touch Too Much, Walk All Over You, Shot Down in Flames, If You Want Blood (You've Got It) oNight Prowler
one good one the rest is just ac/dc
Это базаа, кайф
divertido pero es demasiado de lo mismo sin la misma calidad favs "Highway to Hell" y "Touch Too Much" 3.7
Rate: 10/10. IF YOU WANT BLOOD!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Look, I dont dislike this band, but most of their songs sound the same to me. This whole album blended together and before I knew it the album ended. Ok, maybe I don't really like AC/DC
Highway to Hell is a pretty fun album. Back In Black (the previous album i did by AC/DC) isn't all that fresh in my mind so i'm not sure if i completely remember my opinions on it but i definitely do feel like this album is better since it feels a little bit more heavy and i definitely like heavier sounds in my hard rock albums. Every song here was very good with a bunch of great guitar riffs, catchy melodies and fun vocals. My main issue with this album is that all the songs sound super similar to each other to a point where i had trouble distinguishing them but the album wasn't overly long to a point where that was a huge turn off for me. I still enjoyed this album quite a lot. Best Song: Night Prowler Worst Song: Walk All Over You
Not crazy about the album, but I like how it made me feel. I felt like a cool older brother 🛹Thank you☺️
- ts hits everytime - i dont care this is the frickin stuff - milan, cullen, mds, jordan, and me love this album - the guitar shredding is always good
Very good however very basic
high way to hell highway to hell way to hell to hell hell + go hell ______________________________ = this album is evil and satanic
I was surprised that even the songs I hadn't heard before were absolute bangers. I'll have to listen to this again.
I'm not the biggest fan of the vocals on this album, but everything else is pretty good. I like the band and would like to listen to more of their music, but this album is not anything amazing in my opinion.
One of the best intros to an album oat. This was the first album of the "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" list and it definitely started out with a banger. It's that classic rock sound that everybody loves. From Bon Scott's satisfying yet raspy and gritty vocals, to every amazing electric guitar riff, this album is just so much fun. It does get a bit repetitive at points, and the drum lines were very simple. But you can't deny how catchy it is and the band is definitely a great introduction into hard rock.
2.5/5
Not my cup of tea
While I can appreciate the culture impact and sound. This one isn't for me. Not a bad listen, but also not a listen I'd add to any of my own playlists.
Fun, but basically the same song x10
One of my favs, not the best one but damn close ..I love my AC/DC! Rock on
ok first of all the album art is honestly pretty sick. i love how the australian version is clearly attempting to censor it but instead just kinda makes it go harder by setting the entire thing on fire. incredible stuff. anyway, it's pretty appropriate that this album is titled "highway to hell". not only because the track of the same name is the first thing on here, but also because each of the other 9 tracks on here might as well also be "highway to hell" but played at a slightly different speed. i've accused quite a few albums of being samey at this point but they're really taking the piss with this one. the only song on this album that feels like it might be able to pass as a separate piece and not just a slight mutation of the title track is "night prowler", and that's almost entirely down to it being slow enough in comparison that it could potentially trick me into thinking it's something different if i'm not paying attention. highway to hell isn't a bad song, but surely they could've have tried playing something else at least once. i'm feeling real let down by this album given how much fun i was having looking at the cover art. what the fuck man,
la tipica, cool
There’s a few bangers on this album, but it’s mostly repetitive. Its impressive what they did with three or four chords over and over again.
Highway to Hell is a great opener. Rest of the album is just meh.
I’m biased. I absolutely despise AC/DC - terrible. I’ll give two stars just to be somewhat fair.
Classic AC/DC, what's not to like?
Very little filler: great stuff Also, I didn’t realize until listening to Touch Too Much how much Def Leppard’s early sound was borrowed from AC/DC
3/6
hm
This was great! Sounds great and 70s but timeless!
Guys will see this and just think "hell yeah".
i love
The last Bon album is a great sendoff. The songs are tighter, his singing is more refined, and there's more emphasis on structure and quality than before. You can thank "Mutt" Lang for that. While the technical aspects of this record are improvements on their past work, I still prefer the wild and out of control attitude of albums like "Let There Be Rock". Still an essential rock record.
Classic rock. Hard rock. Highway to Hell is an all time rock anthem. The rest of the album wavers between ok and too juvenile to take seriously.
I've never gotten the appeal of this band. Sure the single is kind of catchy, but the rest is all just super generic anglicized blues rock. The songs are all about sex, nothing to really write home about once the fog of adolescence has cleared. It's not terrible, but they didn't push anything forward musically, it's all pretty safe and predictable. 2/5
fine but all of the songs are pretty similar. 3 stars for me.
yeah just good
really cool album. felt really good throughout and at times i felt like i was eating a cake.
I dont get the hype behind this album dont like it at all 1.7/10
I don't like them but the title song is pretty catchy
15 year old me is screaming rn
IT's ACDC and one fo their most iconic albums. 5/5
Simple rock and fun all the way through. Probably a 3.5 for me, but bumping.
Absolutamente icónico. Fue el álbum que los hizo gigantes. Love Hungry Man y Night Prowler fueron mis favs. Es repetitivo pero funciona, no es para escucharlo todos los días.
I really don't know how I feel about ACDC at this point. Back as a teenager - who thought thatguitars were boring - I saw them as the biggest example of my exhaustion with rock music. Later in my life - with a newfound realisation that guitars can be really fucking good - they're alright. I don't think anything here is mind-blowing brilliant, but it's good raucous fun. I think that's what the bands best at. Not everything has to be high art, and I think Highway To Hell serves as a great example of that.
classic album, a bit overrated
terrible voice technique and sound. mid riffs
certified boomer classic which yet again proved the ability of ac/dc members on making one million songs which all sounds like one song 3/5
Killer and iconic hard rock energy. Was pleasantly surprised that the end of the album manages to cool off a bit and offer some more unique songs to help the album feel less one-note. AC/DC always brings ballsy energy, and this album is no different. Top tracks: highway to Hell, Walk All Over You, Night Prowler
Not a huge fan. I liked the other one better. But the picture is amazing!!
Solid rocker, 2nd best ACDC album. 4 stars.
Nice to revisit. Still rocks.
It could be argued that AC/DC it's a substandard band by how similar and same sound all of their songs. That such a band gained such fame and success, it's also arguable. But, and I think here's the crux of the thing, their music fucking rocks. That's undisputable, at least on these classic albums. There's not much that can be said about this music. It's catchy, rhythmical, energetic, fun. Their songs have ear-catchy melodies, and are easy to remember. A lot of singles, bla bla. I think this is music that you listen when you start to explore rock music and popular music in general. And despite the time and other music, it still can be a safe spot for something fun to listen. That's all you can expect, and sometimes, ¿what more you need? ALso, i love Night Prowler. what a song.
Title track is great Rest are kinda the same A lot of high pitched almost screaming
No
Classic band. Great album even if not my favorite. The start of their arena rock sound.
war gut. aber bissi repetetiv
This is one of those few records I would take to the deserted island….no need to climb trees for coconuts….just turn this album up loud and the coconuts will fall all on their own 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Swaggering, grooving, melting assault of proto cock rock.
Shermz: surely this album doesn’t need any introduction HAHA. Wenz: I need introduction 😂 Ok, but is another rock band to me, not a real fan, the songs are not too bad. Shermz: OMG but surely you’ve heard of highway to hell babesssss
Motorväg till helvetet är ju lattjo. Men sen är det inte riktigt min typ av rock. Det är smånajs, men lyfter inte till högre höjder.
AC/DC har tyvärr ett lite väl enformigt sound över en hel skiva, men det är ändå rock som svänger och som låt för låt är svår att inte gilla och dras med i. Den höga lägstanivån gör att det ändå blir en svag fyra i betyg.
The title song is obviously SO overplayed, but it's interesting to hear it in the original context. I just love some good old ROCK AND ROLL!
Ok, not my thing
Just good old classic rock and roll, easy listen. Like classic AC/DC but not entirely overplayed. Not a lot of variety across the album but that's not a bad thing
A CLASSICCC these dudes are so cool (musically)
Having two AC/DC albums with Bon Scott's last album & Johnson's first is probably the right choice? You can see the difference to some degree as you can hear the strain that Johnson puts on his voice to emulate Scott's. Scott's voice seems to much more natural sounding than Johnson's. Since this is my last AC/DC album on the list, I will looking for the least AC/DC sounding AC/DC song in their catalog. 4
암 하이~웨이 투 헬~
Not a huge AC/DC fan recognize the title track, but everything else was new to me
AC/DC Live is really the only album you need to hear from AC/DC. Highway to Hell is a great song. There are other good songs. But in my opinion, after the hits, most of AC/DC albums are basically filler. I would listen to different records by them before I put this one back on. Again, AC/DC Live, Back in Black or greatest hits is where most people will be happy.
good album overall, just not my genre
Best Song: Highway to Hell This is an absolute classic hard rock album. I wish I could say this was my first time since that would mean that I would be able to listen to it again for the first time. But, alas, it is not. Always a great listen and a must for anyone into rock/hard rock/metal. 5/5.
Highway to Hell - 5/5 Girls Got Rhythm- 4/5 Walk All Over You - 3/5 Touch Too Much - 4/5 Beating Around the Bush - 2/5 Shot Down in Flames - 2.5/5 Get it Hot - 3/5 If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) - 2/5 Love Hungry Man - 3/5 Night Prowler - 3/5 Overall 3.5/5
Enjoyed the guitars and rocky-ness of this album. Singing is good too. Highway to Hell is such a classic singalong for me
Nice album, tbh, only Highway to Hell blew my mind.
AC/DC is a high-energy, fun band to listen to. A lot of the songs sound pretty similar, but that’s just part of their formula. Back in Black is the stronger album, but the title track here is easily the standout.
This is a classic and the top songs are worthy of a 5 some of the lesser known songs Lowers the rating Sloghtly
I love ac/dc
I am quite familiar with this album, having listened to it quite a few times before beginning the project. This is probably classic hard rock in its purest form. It gets by on two things: anthemic choruses and loud riffs. And, really, what else do you need? This is a great album just off the colossal hits that came off it, proving that the masses love this brand of raw rock with just enough pop polish to make the top 40 for 12 weeks or so. Lyrics are simplistic and dumb, but that's the point if I'm being honest. However, they clearly have a talent for songcraft, making simple three-chord riffs into anthemic songs that still hold up in the modern era. AC/DC of this era never fails to be a fun listen if nothing else, and this album is hardly the one to disappoint. It's an absolute classic of the classic rock genre, and I will never be able to rate it less than 5 stars.
Bon Scott is clearly a more charismatic and dynamic singer than Brian Johnson, however the music is pretty much the same for both versions of AC/DC.
Esse disco traz, em suas faixas, o tipo de rock que existe no imaginário mundial quando se trata do gênero, sendo, assim, o puro suco da época e do estilo, com todos os seus atributos. Entretanto, apesar de seus inúmeros pontos fortes e de suas faixas divertidíssimas, o disco não traz consigo nada de inovador ou diferente, o que me faz entender o porquê de todas as piadas envolvendo a banda e das notas baixas. Se eu pudesse, daria meia estrela a mais, ficando a nota com quatro estrelinhas e meia, mas o aplicativo não me permite. Gostei de verdade.
« NO COMMENT ». C’est ce que j’ai fini par griffonner juste à côté de la pochette. Pas parce qu’il n’y a rien à dire, bien au contraire, mais parce qu’à ce stade de la compétition, face à un tel monolithe de l’histoire du rock, les mots semblent parfois superflus, voire carrément dérisoires. On s’attaque ici à Highway to Hell, l'album de 1979, l’année où tout bascule pour de bon, l’année où AC/DC finit de polir sa machine de guerre pour l’envoyer s’écraser avec une précision chirurgicale contre les charts mondiaux. C’est le dernier tour de piste de Bon Scott, le dernier souffle du poète de caniveau, du clochard céleste au foie de titane, et quel souffle, bordel. C’est l’album de la consécration, mais c’est aussi, avec le recul, celui du linceul. Highway to Hell c'est le moment charnière où le groupe quitte enfin le giron un peu trop familial des frangins Young pour se jeter dans les bras de Robert John « Mutt » Lange. Ce mec, c’est le génie maléfique qui allait transformer ces Australiens teigneux en une multinationale du riff. Certains puristes, les intégristes de la première heure, diront sans doute que c’est là que le groupe a perdu son âme ou sa spontanéité crasseuse. Moi, je dis que c'est là qu'ils ont trouvé leur armure de combat car Lange a nettoyé les bordures, il a musclé les refrains, il a fait briller la production sans pour autant enlever la crasse noire qu’ils ont sous les ongles. C’est une production au scalpel : chaque coup de caisse claire est une gifle en plein visage et chaque riff d’Angus est une décharge de 220 volts directement dans les parties génitales. Et puis, il y a cette pochette. Angus avec ses cornes de pacotille et sa queue fourchue, ce regard de gamin possédé qui défie la terre entière. C’était de l’imagerie sataniste de supermarché, le genre de truc qui a fait flipper l’Amérique puritaine et les ligues de vertu pendant des décennies. C’était soit du génie marketing absolu, soit juste une grosse blague de potaches qui a fini par leur coller à la peau comme une étiquette indélébile. Musicalement, on est au sommet de leur art. Pas de chichis, pas de solos de batterie de vingt minutes pour laisser le temps au public d'aller pisser, pas de nappes de synthé dégueulasses pour boucher les trous. Juste trois accords, une section rythmique qui martèle le bitume avec la régularité d'un métronome sous amphétamines, et Bon Scott qui éructe sa joie de vivre vicieuse. Le morceau-titre, on l'a tellement entendu, usé, abusé dans les radios, les films et les mariages foireux, qu'on finit par oublier à quel point il est intrinsèquement parfait. C'est l'hymne ultime du voyageur sans billet de retour, le cri de ralliement de tous ceux qui n'ont rien à perdre. C'est un riff que n'importe quel gamin de douze ans peut apprendre en trois minutes dans sa chambre, mais que personne, absolument personne sur cette foutue planète, ne peut faire sonner comme Angus Young. C’est là que réside toute la magie du truc : c’est d’une simplicité biblique, mais c’est techniquement et émotionnellement inatteignable pour le commun des mortels. On n’est pas ici pour faire de la poésie post-punk intello, on n’est pas dans l’expérimentation sonore ou le bidouillage de pédales d'effet, on est dans le muscle, dans le bas-ventre, dans l’électricité pure qui vous redresse les poils. De « Girls Got Rhythm » à « Shot Down in Flames », c’est une succession ininterrompue de tubes taillés pour les bars sombres et les arènes bondées. C’est de la musique de route, de la musique pour rouler beaucoup trop vite sur une nationale déserte, pour boire trop vite, pour vivre trop vite. Et c’est précisément là le problème quand je l'écoute aujourd'hui avec un peu de recul. Parce qu’on sait tous comment l'histoire se termine. Six mois après la sortie de ce disque, Bon Scott s’étouffait dans sa propre vie à l’arrière d’une bagnole. Fin de l’acte un. Le « No Comment » de ma note, il vient de là aussi. Comment veux tu noter le testament d’un mec qui semblait pourtant totalement immortel sur microsillon ? Comment évaluer froidement un disque qui a servi de modèle absolu à des milliers de groupes de hair-metal ringards, alors que l'original reste d’une classe et d'une morgue absolue ? C’est l’album de la transition totale, celui qui a fait passer le rock d’un truc de marginaux un peu louches à un spectacle de stade planétaire, sans pour autant perdre cette arrogance de voyou. C'est un disque qui ne s'écoute pas sagement dans son salon, il s'éprouve physiquement. Il se subit comme une canicule de plomb en plein mois d'août. C'est pesant, c'est gras, c'est génial. Mutt Lange a compris qu'il fallait canaliser l'énergie d'Angus, lui mettre des barrières, des glissières de sécurité pour qu'il explose encore plus fort à chaque impact. Le résultat est une machine de précision où il n'y a pas un gramme de graisse superflue. Tout est là pour servir la chanson, le groove, la puissance. On est loin des errances bluesy parfois un peu longuettes des débuts. C'est du hard rock millimétré, de l'orfèvrerie de chantier. Et Bon Scott... bordel, Bon est au sommet de son charisme. Sa voix est plus râpeuse que jamais, plus insolente, plus habitée. Il chante comme s'il possédait la ville, comme s'il avait les clés de toutes les chambres d'hôtel et de toutes les caves à vin de la région. On sent une urgence dans Highway to Hell qu'on ne retrouvera plus jamais vraiment par la suite dans la discographie du groupe. Même sur Back in Black, malgré sa puissance de feu phénoménale, il manquera toujours cette petite étincelle de danger pur, ce sentiment que tout peut déraper à n'importe quel moment. Ici, le danger est partout, il est dans le regard de défi d'Angus sur la photo, il est dans les paroles sombres et moites de « Night Prowler ». Ce morceau final, lent, lourd, inquiétant, qui a d'ailleurs valu au groupe des emmerdes pas possibles à cause d'un tueur en série fan du morceau. C'est ça, AC/DC en 1979 : un pied dans la gloire internationale et un pied dans le caniveau le plus sordide. C'est ce mélange de succès mondial massif et de réalité crasseuse qui rend l'album unique. C'est pour toutes ces raisons que je refuse de mettre une note chiffrée. Ce disque est devenu une constante universelle, une unité de mesure à lui tout seul. C’est un truc qu’on se transmet comme une maladie vénérienne ou comme un héritage familial précieux, selon le point de vue. On peut passer ses journées à écouter du neofolk, du post-rock ou l'indie le plus obscur et le plus exigeant, on ne peut pas, si on a un tant soit peu de sang dans les veines, rester insensible à la rythmique de Malcolm Young. C'est le battement de cœur même du rock'n'roll, celui qui ne s'arrête jamais, celui qui vous rappelle que la musique, c'est aussi et surtout de la sueur et de l'adrénaline. Ce n'est pas toujours censé être cérébral, ce n'est pas toujours censé être sombre, torturé ou conceptuel. Parfois, la vie, c'est juste un type à la voix de gravier qui hurle qu'il est sur l'autoroute de l'enfer et qui vous invite, avec un clin d'œil complice, à monter avec lui. Et on monte, sans réfléchir, sans se poser de questions métaphysiques sur la validité artistique du projet. On appuie sur "Play" et on laisse la décharge faire son boulot de nettoyage par le vide. C'est un disque qui se suffit à lui-même, qui n'a besoin d'aucune explication de texte, d'aucune analyse sociologique fumeuse. C'est du rock, putain, c'est Highway to Hell. C’est le genre d’album qui rend toute critique caduque. On se contente juste de hocher la tête en rythme, on se contente juste de subir la loi du riff. C’est l’essence même du projet « 1001 Albums » : tomber sur ces balises temporelles qui nous rappellent d'où vient toute cette foutue électricité. Alors voilà, pas de note chiffrée, pas de comparaison foireuse avec ce qui se faisait ailleurs à l'époque. Juste le constat d'une efficacité terrifiante, ce putain de disque n'a pas pris une seule ride, alors que ses créateurs sont, pour certains, déjà sous terre depuis longtemps, et pour d'autres, enfermés dans des musées de cire ou des stades aseptisés. La puissance du truc est restée intacte, brute, sauvage. C’est une leçon de minimalisme maximaliste : faire le plus de bruit et de dégâts possible avec le moins d'éléments nécessaires. C'est le génie absolu d'AC/DC et c'est le génie de cet album en particulier, qui restera comme le point d'orgue d'une époque révolue où l'on pouvait devenir la plus grande star du monde en chantant des histoires de cul, de came et de bagnoles avec une honnêteté qui force le respect. Allez, je m'arrête là, ça suffit. Le disque tourne encore sur la platine, la dernière note de « Night Prowler » s'éteint doucement dans un souffle de larsen. Le silence qui suit est presque assourdissant. C'est le silence de la fin d'une ère, le silence après l'orage. Terminus tout le monde descend, ou tout le monde crame, au choix. Moi, je reste dans la bagnole, je remets la face A, et je ne rajoute rien. No comment.
not bad, but this is not the typical genre I listen to -> it sound all very same to me. "highway to hell" is a classic though
Базовое но не мое
Fine. Classique. Boring :)
still dont like how they sound, at all
It’s AC/DC!
solid album
This album has aged well. The first album with mutt Lange producing and the last with Bon Scott on vocals. It’s really well balanced and tracks like ‘love hungry man’ and ‘if you want blood’ are excellent. The definitive statement by the entirely Antipodeon original line up.
Gear: Focalman Cleardara Artwork: 😈😆🫦 Production: 😐👍🆗 Music: ⚡️🎸🙂↕️ Rating: 🛣️🛣️🛣️🛣️/5
I think of all of the classic rock albums I've gotten, this is my favorite. Each song is high energy and makes you want to dance but doesn't drone on too long past the point that you're bored. Good job boys
A little one-note but generally fun and catchy.
Классика Heavy Metal, тут ничего не скажешь. Но крайне редко нравится метал с визжащим вокалом
Je album openen met Highway to Hell, een van de meest iconische rock nummers ooit. Dat is een cheatcode zeg... Maar verschiet je dan niet meteen al je kruit? Word het nog wel wat daarna? Ik heb meerdere keren geklaagd bij andere artiesten over het schreeuwzingen van sommige bands. Maar AC/DC, dat hit gewoon net op een andere manier. Je weet gewoon precies wat je krijgt bij AC/DC, en het is ook niet heel veel meer of minder. Dat kan een voordeel zijn, dat kan een nadeel zijn. Ik merk altijd dat ik het in redelijk kleine doseringen heel goed trek. Die gitaarsolo op Walk all over you? Fucking vet. Is dit een hoogstaand stukje muziek? Mwah niet perse, maar is dit gewoon een steengoed(ha ha) rock album? Jazeker, Back to black vind ik wel echt beter, en die gaf ik 4 sterren, maar eigenlijk voelt 3 sterren hierbij gewoon ook niet terecht. Het is beter dan de meeste 3 sterren albums, maar eigenlijk ook weer een beetje minder dan de meeste 4 sterren albums. Toch neig ik dan eerder naar 4 sterren, ik had misschien toch een klein beetje meer variatie wel leuk gevonden, al lijkt het bijna een ballad bij Love hungry man, maar in zn geheel is dit album precies wat je verwacht van een AC/DC album. Gewoon. Goede, stevige hardrock. En soms kan het leven zo simpel zijn. FAVO: Highway to hell, Walk all over you, Beating Around the bush, If you want blood
Every Song a banger!
One of the top rock albums of the 70's and still sounds great. Best of the Bon Scott era. Night prowler is a little weak, but thats it! An easy 5 from me.
Yes please.
Me gustó, emocionante
kinda tuff ngl
buen álbum pero con skips
3.5 Acdc album is acdc album
A very good album, a classic. A great listen.
its fine
I really like Girls Got Rhythm and Beating Around the Bush. I never really paid attention to how freaky their lyrics actually are, but they have good riffs.
A lot of fun! Saved me from having 40 boring minutes at work.
Buen album, no muy fan, pero esa guitarra es buenisimo.
I was like a month old when this came out. Bon’s last album; Mutt’s first with the band as producer and you can hear it! 🤘
It's a bit before my time, but, at the risk of getting lynched by long-time AC/DC fans, I don't actually register the difference between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. This is a good album, but not as good as later albums where AC/DC fully developed as a band. It's just a shame Bon didn't live long enough to be part of that.
It's black eyed peas, Miley, fergy, drinking and dancing and fucking party music, but for mens
another classic banger. some say all AC DC Albums sound the same but this one sounds the samest (best)
A love letter to the kick drum. Straight ahead rock and roll. put this on while you're shirtlessly washing your T-bird.
Ive never been a huge AC/DC fan. I respect their legacy, but I'd never sink into their music.
Album of absolute rockers. Such a breeze to listen to because it really just goes.
Good
fuck yeah!!!
AC/DC always do their thing, and they do it well. 'Industrial-strength boogie' is the best description I've seen
Good stuff
Great
Hadn't listened to AC/DC in yonks. Forgot how bluesy they are. Beating Around The Bush riff was a smash. Probably my third favourite record of theirs. Hard choice between 3 and 4 but going 4 for nostalgia bias.
I mean every song sounds the same but that’s not always a bad thing y’know!
Recently bought a record player and got this album from my moms record collection
This album is like 2 and a half stars. I was already familiar with a lot of the songs on the album. I actually do like a lot of the songs on this album, I have more than half the songs in my likes on Spotify. I think I judge the albums I listen to by how likely I am to add the songs into my current playlist and actually go back and want to listen to it again. For some reason I don’t have the option to rate this one using the stars.
A classic
I enjoyed this style of rock.
AC/DC is so nostalgic to me. Fun listen!
Although I remember this album fondly, and the title track is one of my favourite AC/DC songs of all time, there's also a lot of filler. It feels slightly harsh to mark it down to four stars, but then I look at songs like "Love Hungry Man", think of pizza, and feel it's actually a fair score.
More like a 3.5. A lot of the songs are great, but it gets a bit repetitive.
I'm too old for this.
I was raised on this album so it was a re listen but this time as an active listen. There is a reason this band and this album is genre and era defining. It holds up and is amazing classic rock
It’s basic AC/DC - anthemic rock, guitar riffs to appeal to the crowd, lyrics that don’t get too deep, hooks that are catchy
song i didn't dislike: highway to hell drunkcore, obnoxious, exhausting 10/100
Classic rock and roll at it finest 🤘👊
Yea this album was all the way fire. There’s really not much to say outside of that. The first two tracks are phenomenal so to start a record off like that is some legendary shit.
Malcolm Young had the best right hand in rhythm guitar history. Mutt Lange sure loves him a dry-as-dust rhythm tone though. It's leering, it's louche, it does what it says on the tin.
Obviously it starts with a hammer, truly iconic song, but then I have to admit I got lost in the album, a few songs stood out but in the end it all felt like the same one to me ... Probably cause I can't understand the lyrics with his voice and strong accent, I bet it didn't help. At least it's coherent and the vocals/guitar solos are amazing. Cover : Iconic of course, devilish as rock music is
divorced dad core, beer, rock roadtrip to grand canyon, hot Arizona day
Always great to listen to this album
Classic
A lot of people criticize AC/DC for their simplicity, but I would say there it something to that. Malcom Young is criminally underrated as a rhythm guitarist and oft overshadowed by his brother. While not quite as reaching some of the highs of some of the other albums of the Bon Scott era like Let There Be Rock. This album is still quite good. 4/5
Not as bad as I thought it would be but not good. Foghat was better at this kind of Rock
Booooooooring
Dumb album where everything sounds the same, but a fun and good album still. Brian Johnson was a commendable replacement, but I prefer Bon Scott's voice and energy. This might as well be a greatest hits album with all the bangers on here. Touch Too Much and Walk All Over You are my favorites here. A bunch of good songs, none really bad, good album.
I swear this album is some blokes whole personality. Enjoy your tarmac whiskey Not bad though, just not all that 3/5
Fun. Makes me feel like a sleazy asshole. Vocals are crazy.
Good rock n’ roll. This album is not at the top of my list for AC/DC and not one I would seek out.
AC/DC have such a great groove to their playing. I enjoyed the first few tracks but my enjoyment kind of fell off after that and I thought that night prowler was gross. I’m sure there are Led Zep songs that are just as filthy that I probably love.
Not a fan
всем мира, но я люблю разные тональности и пение посерьёзней)
Perfect rock album
Fav songs: • Highway to Hell (obvs) • Touch too much
Not quite my fave but will listen again in a few weeks. I don't think I was in the right headspace for this one.
AC/DC doing AC/DC things
Fun
bit of harry innit 6.9/10
"I'm sick to death of talking about how we've released 11 identical albums. In fact, we have released 12 completely identical albums." — said Angus Young. You can't argue with the maestro; all AC/DC music is about killer guitar solos and screeching vocals on one side, and schoolboy lyrics over a very standard rhythm section on the other. So why did this formula only started to work for the band on their sixth album? I don't understand. They say the change of producer helped here — I wouldn't say so; the next album, Back In Black, is much more different from the older albums. Perhaps people were simply in a time in the late '70s when they wanted relaxed yet energizing music. Nevertheless, the monotony hasn't gone away, and AC/DC's studio recordings quickly become boring. Their concerts and live albums are a different story! So if your soul is craving for some energy and fun, it’s better to turn on AC/DC Live – an album that, in its title itself, conveys the band’s clarity and straightforwardness.
Klasika. Ale nebavi ma to...
Im new into rock so i might change my opinion after i get into this genre and understand it fully. But as for now i think for me every track felt the same, everything is up tempo except the last track and i struggle to find any memorable moment out of it except the crazy ass guitar riffs. Those stand out to me the whole project, the way the guitar riffs come in at the end of the 1st track highway to hell and on the track walk all over you (3:30 mark) is really crazy. It's just that I can't separate out other songs of this album from one another because it's kinda monotonous (as of now). Night prowler is another track i find interesting because unlike the other tracks, it has a slow tempo and a good slower vibe. 3 stars cuz i ended up saving two songs out of the album.
Never much of a fan but the impact is undeniable.
10/10.
Fun stuff. AC/DC really knows their niche and fills it perfectly. Just solid rock song after solid rock song. The guitar really gets in your face on each track and tells you all you need to know about the band. The vocals hold their own, but never really steal the show. The other components do enough to bring it together without being all that distinct in the mix. Highway to Hell is probably the best song on here, but the rest aren't far behind. Each track in isolation is pretty strong. Listening to them in a row does get a bit tedious, though. That's probably the biggest issue I have with the album-- it's all pretty similar the whole way through. Good, but similar. That's probably true of any AC/DC album given to how intently they stick with their sound (which I would do, too, if I sounded like they do). For what it is, this is a really good album. It rocks all the way from beginning to end. I think it falls a little short of great, though. Overall: 3.8/5
Good, old fashioned guitar rock!! Some great riffs and guitar solos on this one, and just a fun record to play loud. Highlights: "Highway to Hell" and "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)
Classic brother-in-law rock, taxi rock radio station, stories from the old times, dandruff, etc. Amazing anyway.
C’est pas mal, c’est limite bien. Je comprends qu’ils aient cette réputation en vrai
Clássico, já não ouvia há imenso tempo porque achava repetitivo. Mas agora com esta idade tenho um respeito renovado por pessoas que conseguem manter este nível de energia tanto tempo!
Este som clássico não desaponta, mas acaba por ser um álbum um pouco repetitivo no fim do dia
AC/DC fait du AC/DC et c'est bien ! C'est exactement ce qu'on leur demande ! On sait à quoi s'attendre mais c'est exactement qu'on a envie d'écouter. Note : 4 À réécouter : Oui
im a fan i think there was a lot of times i was banging my head. my problem w rock albums are a lot of the time every song sounds the same. i didn't feel that way about this
I mean not my kind of type of music that I use to listen, but I do appreciate their intensity.
Rock N Roll baby!
As I grew up in the 80's, this is a true classic.
te levanta el ánimo como nunca
Yesterday “Back in Black,” today “Highway to Hell”—OK, challenge accepted. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that AC/DC with Bon Scott and AC/DC with Brian Johnson were two different bands. But the differences are certainly striking when you compare them side by side—besides the obviously different vocals, especially in terms of songwriting. “Highway to Hell” is much more deeply rooted in the blues and thus presents a significantly more authentic and raw version of AC/DC than “Back in Black” did a year later. Naturally, this makes the songs tend to be a bit less catchy—apart from the title track, of course—and they really don’t unfold until the second listen. Overall, “Highway to Hell” ranks in my top 2 or 3 AC/DC albums—naturally behind “Back in Black” and perhaps also behind “The Razor's Edge.” Still, a legendary record!
Whole lotta fun. Not as much of a beast as Back in Black but close enough. AC/DC is just a good party rock music. 🤘🏼😎🍺
One amazing song followed by an album of generic, same sounding, forgettable rock songs.
Gracias por tanto Bon Scott
Otla vez alos
I’ve been a long time fan, and also think that one AC/DC album is pretty much interchangeable from any other. I’ve heard this album 100 times before, but this 101st listen was half-ass. Bonus star for history enjoyment.
My mother is indifferent to most music, but she cannot stand AC/DC. “No more of that horrible little screeching man! Turn it off!”
I genuinely cannot imagine the happiness that came in 1979 in a sports car as a 17/18 year old in the summer and you throw this album in and Highway to Hell is first up. Jfc. Wait. Had no idea the original vocalist, Bon Scott, of AC/DC died of alcohol poisoning and the lead vocalist changed after this album. Walk all over you feels a little surfer rock. Fav song so far probably. Will come back to this. A touch to much is my least favorite. Too narrative? And too long. Opens up good but so bored by the end. Repetitive. The underlying music is so good, but lyrically, very boring.
Not surprisingly, it sounds like most AC/DC albums. :) Touch Too Much stood out of the songs I had not heard. 4/5
Grote classic, helemaal top
Ohh yeaa rokanroll ooohhhh siiii lml, bueno esa es mi reviw ahr no. Bueno la verdad este álbum fue una sorpresa siii, escuchar los primero temas se sintió como un baldazo de agua… estando yo prendido fuego despues de haber escuchado el álbum anterior. No le tenia fe porq venia de haber perdido toda mi esperanza en música de este estilo y no me consideraba para nada un ejoyer de acdc… pero puede q lo sea un poco mas de lo q pensaba. Obviamente empieza con uno de los temas insignia de ace y disi el famoso duo de rock ahr no sabia nada. Bueno empieza con “carretera al infierno”, tema q da nombre al álbum: “carretera al infierno”. Es un fakin clásico todos lo conocen, la verdad nunca lo había escuchado a detalle y lo primero q pensé en mi primera escucha fue “wow q admirable como son capaces de hacer una intro tan memorable para el álbum en general tan solo con el ritmo de batería mas básico q existe, y un riff icónico” y ahora q lo pienso no me parece nada muy loco pero bueno la intro me parece muy buena ns porq escribi esto. El tema es bueno ta lo admito. Ya con este tema empecé hyped af tipo me la re subio ns. Siguiente tema: “las chicas tienen ritmo”. Bueno este no es de mis favoritos la verdad, no me llegó a la medula, pero es un tema q mantiene el hype y eso lo admiro ahr porq admiraba tanto. Ahora siii, uno q es para mi gusto uno de los bangers de ste álbum “caminar arriba tuyo” ahr q era ese fetiche. Si hablamos de hype, la intro de este tema si q me hypeo y mucho en la primera escucha, me la bajó q sea algo aparte al tema, si la hubiesen conectado mejor me hubiese gustado aun mas y no perdería tanto el efecto de hype en las siguientes escuchas. Eso no quita q el tema me haya gustado bastante, me gusta mucho el coro cuando todos gritan “caminar arriba tuyo!!!!” en el fondo. También me gusto la pequeña outro. Algo q me había olvidado de destacar hasta ahora, es q la voz del cantante siento q me debería resultar insoportable… pero no es asi, me gusta bastante, tiene muchísima personalidad y queda mucho con la música. Bueno sigue “mucho toque” o ns como llamarlo ns. bueno es un poco mas de lo mismo y me pasa maso como el segundo tema, no me termina de fascinar, pero mantiene algo el ritmo asi q ta. aunq igual no voy a negar q le estoy perdiendo un poco hilo ya desde aca, tipo se q si sigue asi me va a empezar a aburrir. “pegándole alrededor al arbusto” que significa eso ns ahr q no se traduce asi. Bueno este tema me gusta mas me parece, siento q no es algo q debería ser de mi gusto, pero loes, un poco. Me gusta ese riff con el q empieza, no se a q me recuerdaaa, capaz a un tema de Extremoduro puede ser pueser. Me gusta mucho en los versos cuando canta como se queda todo callado menos el redo y ta eso. “derribado en llamas” o ns como mierda ya traducir estos títulos ns ni porq lo estoy haciendo. También quizás de los q mas me gusten. Me estoy dando cuenta q no tengo mucho para decir de los temas porq aca entra ese factor de repeticion, pero igual me gustan. Este me gusta la parte cuando dice “hey you angus, shoot me” y el niño angus hace ese solo q me gusta bastante, aparte me gusta mucho cuando pasa eso en los temas q el cantante le da entrada de forma original al guitarrista para hacer su solo. Bueno q puedo decir del resto del álbum, paso lo q me esperaba y q ya venia pasando, q me empezó a aburrir. “hombre ambriento amor” es un poco mas tranquilo de lo q venia siendo todo, pero siento q esta muy al final dentro del álbum, ya a este punto es tarde y me aburri. Es el único tema q me fije en el bajo la verdad, queda tan en segundo plano en los otros temas q te olvidas q está, la verdad q me gusta mucho como suena aca. La verdad siento q este y el ultimo tema deberían haber estado mas en la mitad del álbum, para q se sienta mas dinamico todo. Bueno ns q mas decir, quiero terminar esta review de una vez. Estuve pensando q creo q tuve algún tipo de efecto escuchando este álbum, porq como vine de escuchar puta mierda una peor q otra, ahora q escuche algo q me parecio un poco mejor mi cerebro lo celebro como si fuera una puta obra maestra, cuando no es para tanto. Me pareció el mejor hasta ahora, si, pero pasa igual q con los dos álbumes anteriores, existe muy poca versatilidad y a medida q el álbum avanza se hace cada vez mas complicado seguir enganchado. Supongo q los aisidisis lo hacen bien si, disfrute del sonido de este álbum, pero no me gustan tanto los temas como para escucharlos mas veces. No creo q llegue a un tres, pero me parece q es un 2.5 yendo para arriba, aparte estoy harto de ratear álbumes con dos estrellas asi q le voy a pone tres… pero no llega a tres ok.
Muy bueno, el disco

Cool shi
I LOVED Back In Black but this didn’t do it for me. Lacks the power, grandeur and catchy hooks, and I prefer Brian Johnson.
I'm not a big fan of AC/DC but this is certainly listenable.
AC/DC is the rock music equivalent of fast food. Sure, you’re not going to get a Michelin Star dinner, but you know what you’re going to get and sometimes you just crave a juicy burger. Quite often, actually. Highway to Hell is that fastfood offering, but it has to be said that the menu is stale. After another generic rock aong about how great sex is, I was about to give this album two stars. The final track, Night Prowler, saved the day. Rest in peace, Bon Scott
3/5
