Classic Back to my teens
Solid classic rock album 4/5
Hard rock but it ain’t always easy
this was great. reminded me of my dad. would like to listen to again
It's a classic for a reason.
Good in like a riding in uncle Sam’s boat way. Not my usual vibe but it has its time and place fs.
Really only liked the first song
Hell yeah. 3.5 rounded up for If You Want Blood, one of the best needle drops ever as heard in the movie Empire Records.
Awesome with some bangers. 8.3/10
A rock-solid AC/DC album. Some absolutely killer tunes, with Beating Around the Bush being a real highlight - a rollicking riff that departs from the usual Young brothers formula. A couple of sub-par numbers and iffy lyrics knock it down to a 4 star.

It's a good album but personally just they get better after moving to Brian, it give them the extra kick from good to great.
Kova levy, on kuunneltu ja tullaan kuuntelemaan.
Great ACDC album that really defines rock and roll. Something that would keep your energy up from start to end. Overall a great album!
Good
It's AC/DC, I don't know what else to say
just earlier today I gave Van Halen's Van Halen shit for being a great execution of a thing I don't particularly care about, and here I am about to give AC/DC a four for doing basically the same thing but I'm sorry, I love this, Bon Scott's scumbag warbling rules for all the same reasons I hate Diamond Dave and I am living so comfortably in this cognitive dissonance there are other better albums that are getting a lower score than this. I can't defend myself and I'm not even going to try, I'm just gonna listen to Touch Too Much again
Nothing will ever touch Back in Black, but this was still pretty good.
Fun listen
A classic. Strong title song and while most of AC/DC songs sound the same - they are all very good, energetic, powerful and fun rock songs.
Ja dit is natuurlijk gewoon heel goed. Echt niet mijn muziek, maar er zit een groove wat altijd goed is!
you know what it reminds me of one of my favorite movies so i like that (school of rock)
Just raw and sick ass vocals and awesome guitars. Not as many hits but great energy throughout the album
The first concert my mom ever went to in the 80’s was AC/DC so growing up I always thought they were so cool and yanno what I still think that
It's really good if you choose to like it
A lot of my love for AC/DC faded as I matured, but this album holds up. Sure, it can be a little one note, but I credit them with coming up with 1001 metaphors fer fuckin' and for distilling hard rock to its essence
When I first took guitar lessons, the first song my teacher had me learn was Highway To Hell. I don't know if it made me like the song more or less. Still, AC/DC is a solid artist and this is a great album.
Classic classic rock
This is definitely a classic album, and while there aren't many hits on it, I think the biggest problem is that several of the songs do feel pretty forgettable. Everything is well done, and I think that with time, any rock fan can learn the songs and appreciate every single one, but it doesn't have an instant ability to blow me away on almost every track in the way I'd give a 5 star album.
Solid fun rock album. Would listen to again 7.5/10
Really solid classic rock album. Loved the blues influences on the drumming and guitar work on a couple tracks. Can see why its influential.
This just has to be one of the most solid, consistent hard rock albums of all time. Not a bad track here
Rocks so hard that it's been overplayed for decades
It’s a classic rock album. It’s also exactly what you’d expect from AC/DC. Although after listening to this album all the songs started to song similar. Favorite song: Beating Around the Bush
No better way to start the day than the title track
4/5
A classic, high energy. Not always in the mood for AC/DC but it's a nice listen. Every song a banger never boring.
instrumentals are absolute cinema, the use of electric guitar and drums is just beautiful like they seem like they had fun making this album. what i can say is that i don't connect at all with lyrics like i don't think id ever know the lyrics of the songs ever, maybe that is partly cause i can't hear what he is saying.
A superb offering from one of the greatest bands ever! This was an absolute tonic after the disaster of listening to Miles Davis the day before, just what was needed to get me back on track. Some amazing tracks, didn't get five stars as I felt nothing topped the first track but that's just personal preference.
Oh I grew up with this one - excellent! Just don't let your drummer sing it all the time in a band.
HELL YEAH BROTHER Loved this review someone left: "unclear if the album would be better if it were just "Highway to Hell" 10 times"
a few classics!
Pretty good. Nothing gets close to Highway to Hell on this. Air guitar, head bobbing and banging were had throughout though.
Every song sounds the same but it’s a pretty good song
All-time opener and great Australian representation. Without having listened to an AC/DC album in full this did more for me than I expected. RYM: N Saved a song: N
Very good, felt quite repetitive tho
Solid rock album, one of the greats. Just sounds too similar in clsssic AC/DC fashion, 4 stars
I listened to it and it was a great pick me up.
Rockin!!! Loved it, proper toe tapper. Actually made me engage in my work a bit more lol
More greasy 70's rock please.
Great classic
better than i had remembered ... stripped-down, bluesy, raw. singer actually sounds good (in contrast to the other guy that came later)
School of Rock coded / why he gotta scream like that in every song?
Estan buenas Love Hungry Man y tmb Night Prowler, entre muy negativa a escucharlo pero al final i just fw.
Альбом хороший, бодрячковый, но мне просто не нравятся AC/DC, вокал неприятный, инструментал ну базовый рокешник, на фоне в баре пойдет
Gleichzeitig Original und Parodie. Das ist alles so dumm, macht mich aber auch sehr fröhlich. Dummpamin?
Simple and fun stadium rock. Was not expecting the Mork and Mindy reference at the end!
Bon scott acdc What's not to like
One song in different flavors. But all the flavors are decent. Just some good ol’ fashioned rock n’ roll.
It’s an alright album!
🤘
Je préfère l’album Back in Black ! Cela dit, c’est dynamique, ça met de l’ambiance, c’est chouette
7.4/10, пиздато, хоть рок и не слушаю, но есть какая то однотипность в треках, но слушается легко и ахуенно
Solid album. High energy with at least 3 classic songs.
Classic...hard rock in expert mode - Malcolm and Angus Young's guitars blast out of the speakers like no one elses, Bon Scott puts in his usual charismatic performance, and I reckon Cliff Williams is the secret weapon throughout, playing the most deceptively simple bass parts in rock, completely locked in to the groove from start to finish. Not to mention Mutt Lange's production and distinctive backing vocals - there are moments that you hear the same tricks he'd use to make his millions from with Def Leppard and Bryan Adams a decade later. Fun, fun album. A couple of clunkers in amongst it but one of their best for sure. R.I.P. Bon Scott - this was quite an album to go out with.
AC/DC is one of those bands that feels like I know them well given how much they have played on the radio for the last 5 decades, but other than the title track, this was a new listen for me. I was surprised both at the level of consistency is creating great rock songs, and how many of the songs revolve around 'loving your girl'. Great listen, and excited to see more AC/DC appear on the list.
It’s just SO fun. Time to dig out my devil horns light-up headband from the 2016 Rock or Bust tour. 👹
Classic bangers
Ganz geil, haben ihren Sound gefunden und ziehen ihn durch. Für mich besser ab und zu ein guter Hit, als ein ganzes Album am Stück. Trotzdem gute 4 Sterne
Несмотря на то, что не самый большой фанат голоса вокалиста AC/DC - альбом понравился
I mean, geras albumas, neturiu ka pasakyt Favorites: "Girls got rythm", "beating around the bush"
A pleasant listen, was afraid of hating the album but it was solid throughout.
fun mindless rock. didn't think a band like ac/dc could have good deep cuts like the ones on here highlights: girls got rhythm beating around the bush night prowler
Call me a philistine all you want, but this was so much better than that U2 album. Is AC/DC complex, meaningful music? No. Is AC/DC fun and do their songs kick ass and rock hard? YES! Sometimes the simplest things in life are best, like an ice cold Budweiser on a hot day. This album is that ice cold macro lager, it’ll always have a place. Very solid 4/5
The classic Bon Scott DC album. You cant complain about an album that opens with ‘Highway to Hell’. Which is an undeniably great rock song and shows off the band’s strengths perfectly. The opening riff, drums and the vocal intro is just faultless, as it builds to the epic chorus is so simple but also just pure perfection. Girl’s got rhythm continue to focus on the harmony between Bon’s vocals and Angus’s guitar. AC/DC tracks always have a groove to them (as well as a fair slice of innuendo) and this one is no different. I enjoyed Walk All Over You’s group chorus. Touch Too Much is a fun, infectious tune and is a highlight. The other tracks follow the same blueprint with If You Want Blood being another clear standout. Sometimes simplicity and an entire album following a very strict blueprint can mean it falls short, especially where there is such a classic track on it. But that’s not the case here, HtH is just a classic foot stomping rock album. It’s amazing to think that they were able to replace such a great vocalist who seemed so integral to their sound with another who just fitted seamlessly.
Finishing yesterday's beepy bloopy Brian Eno album and immediately moving on to Highway To Hell was quite a vibe shift. I really enjoyed the chanting backing vocals of Walk All Over You, but honestly I enjoyed the whole thing. The gang vocals on multiple tracks particularly are really fun, but I didn't even get annoyed by the guitar solos. The hook of the bassline on Love Hungry Man is very funky. Look, does this sound pretty cheesy listening to it in 2026? Yes, but you know what? Cheesy can be fun. This just makes me smile and tap my toes. The last words being spoken on the album being a quote of Mork (of "and Mindy" fame) feels very fitting, even if the song it appears on is tonally different from the rest of the album. I am wishing for a half star, as I think this is more a 3.5 for me but it's much better than a 3 so: 4/5
Proper riffs, such a good time
I liked this album ok. I appreciate harder rock and huge bands, however in a folksy jam band girl at heart (with gangster rap in my soul).
It all sounds the same to me tbh but it’s still good stuff
AC/DC also rocks. Just classic and fun. Makes me want to throw a few lite beers and party back in Gastonia where I grew up!
++: Highway to Hell, Girls Got Rhythm, Touch Too Much, Beating Around the Bush, Shot Down in Flames, Love Hungry Man, Night Prowler +: Walk All Over You, Get It Hot, If You Want Blood (You've Got It) 8,8/10
Az elején berúgja az ajtót, aztán kezd ellaposodni, mikor ugyanazt hallod 8-adjára. A gitársound zseni, a dobos ugyanazt üti végig.
Classic rock n roll
DIdnt listen to album but know songs on it are good
Lavly
Great in a very simple way. Hearty vocals, superlative guitar and the clear recording allowing the drums to cut through in the background. The strong, high energy sound delivered so convincingly makes up for some of the repetitive elements. It isn’t revelatory but it doesn’t need to be, it’s just great.
I am at danger of repeating myself vs Back in Black. I am sure the critics will explain wide differences in the albums. I don't think there is. - Mega energy - Riff / drum formula and pattern that drives the whole thing - Chuck on top a neat but slightly demented vocal - Now polish the hell out of it This is what your left with. It is repetitive in some ways as a result but remains engaging and I don't tire of it which is to their credit.
Another album where AC/DC sort of nail it. OK, so each Song is a one-riff-wonder, the tracks are formulaic, and the lyrics aren't exactly deep... But its tight, its fun, the vocals are absolutely killer, and it rocks. AC/DC are one of those bands that I will rarely choose to listen to but every time I hear them, I can't help but enjoy it.
My first one on this journey, classic of course. Some songs I've ever heard before but all seem like the same song, not much variation. Still, love it.
Great album top to bottom
wowwww amazing
Classic rock. Bangers. Good energy. Idk what else to say.
I really enjoyed this - I only knew Highway to Hell as a song and really like that and yet there were plenty of other great songs on this. Felt like a real rock classic.
Great album
I like it
Great start with highway to hell, but the rest was just as classic.
Unapologetic Rock N Roll. I can almost make it through the whole album without a break. Just good rock.
great album
One of the greatest rock n roll albums of all time. Instantly recognisable. The title track and “if you want blood” stand out tracks
Classic. My type of dad rock
vyer enjoyable
A classic for a reason, hell yeah.
Banger of an album. This record is evidence that having an album full of songs that sound the same CAN work. Girls Got Rhythm, Touch Too Much, Shot Down in Flames and Night Prowler all great songs, as well as the title track. Overall a very enjoyable 41 minutes.
Its a clasic for a reason, but a bit one note
I don't like AC/DC as much as I should. And I like Bon Scott less than Brian Johnson. Yet despite only knowing the title track I have to admit this was a lot of fun and varied enough in parts for AC/DC. Well done. The second half especially good.
Tracks flow really well into one another. Production very crisp little reverb in your face classic plexi tone, everything cuts through really well balanced and warm sounding. Absolute classic of an album cover
It's an album full of very basic, standard rock songs. There's nothing on here that really pushes the bar. And sometimes I like listening to basic rock music and that's okay! They might be a little vanilla, but goddamn if the songs ain't catchy. I do wish there was more variety in the lyrics. I don't want this to sound prudish, I don't have a problem with songs being about sex. I do have a bit of a problem when almost ALL of the songs are about that. It's hard to knock the band for that because songs about love, sex, and breakups have been overdone by nearly artist since the beginning of time. But it does get a little irritating when a band does the same topic over and over without bringing anything new to it. Yet again though, the songs are so. goddamn. catchy. It's soooo close to being a 4 for me. I give it a 3.8/5.
Great
4⭐️/5 01.03.2026
Just good, loud, simple rock. Mutt langes production is great. Sounds drag and clean still now.
if you’ve heard one song from this album then you’ve heard them all.
7/10 AC/DC always deliver exactly what you expect of them
This is NPC rock, unfortunately I'm not a so called "free-thinker"
Great album. Classic songs
Not an ac/dc fan, not my thing
AC/DC was my favorite band when I was like 12, which coincidentally the best way to describe AC/DC is a 12 year old boy’s favorite band. It’s simple rock, nothing complicated here. Lyrics anybody with a 4th grade education could get. But it’s fun and it just works
4.4
The penultimate great AC/DC album. After they blew their wad with Brian Johnson’s fist album with them on Back In Black, it was all autopilot from here.
They all sound quite similar and I wondered I like that fact or not. Im listening to it while studying and it’s kinda hurting my head but its probably because I’m not in the mood for loud music today. All in all I would listen to it again when I’d have the vibe for it. Some songs are bangers. 8/10
Nothing
Un clásico, rock clásico, no puede fallar.
Classic ACDC. Love it.
One of their best, but not their very best. Actually surprisingly weak relative to some of their other albums after the title track.
I forgot 'if you want blood' was on this record and I was pleasantly surprised by how cohesive this work was. it's just a jam fest with really fun drums and guitar. it makes me want to swing my hair and be a nuisance to my downstairs neighbours.
Used to love AC/DC, then stopped cause all their songs started kinda sounding the same. Fast forward to today and I realize that I’ve never actually listened to an AC/DC album all the way through. This was a fun time. Real rock and roll grooves, it was a little grimy, and hearing Angus on the guitar is never a bad time.
Léger 4 j'ai pas vibé tout le temps mais c'est quand même légendaire
Le pouler
Wesh ça c’est du rock qui roll hard. Guitare qui envoie, ça parle de femmes et autres amusements. La seule critique que je peux faire c’est que tout est très similaire. J’ai un grand regret d’avoir mis un 5 à Pump peut-être que je vais compenser ici
Oh wow Highway to Hell? Well I have definetly never heard this before XD. This was not a bad listen, but I knew all the songs inside out already.
Great songs and great flow throughout, easy rock to listen to and to spend the time. Good riffs and one of the best rock albums that have ever existed, sadly the last one with Bon Scott as singer, and leaves a great legacy with this one.
Good classic rock album.
One of my early favorites as I turned from a boy to a man. My adolescence reeks of this record. Not my favorite AC/DC record but one I did listen to a lot.
i got to see ACDC in concert may 2025. they were amazing. this album is amazing too. i'd give it a 7.5/10
Hell yeah, this album goes hard!
Fun album
Solid and easy to listen hard rock, tho the hits are a tad above the average compared to the unremarkable other tracks
Pretty sweet album
Actually pretty good
high octane rock and roll
AC/DC’s sound is instantly recognizable and damn near bulletproof. Even their weakest album still kicks the doors off most bands’ best efforts. Spinning one of their records feels like running into an old mate you haven’t seen in years, everything clicks right back into place, and you suddenly remember how much garbage you’ve been wasting your time on when you could’ve just been blasting AC/DC the whole damn time.
It's easy to see why this is considered a classic AC/DC album, it's pretty much all killer no filler. I know a good amount of songs from these, having been into rock music for over half my life, but never listened to a full album by them. There's a few surprises I've really enjoyed like Walk All Over You, and the high energy Beat Around the Bush which has some killer riffs. They've been called "one trick pony" in terms of their formula but it works.
Iconic band, with an iconic voice. Highlights: Highway to hell & Shot Down in Flames.
Very good, just not my taste
You know what you're getting with AC/DC. And it's good. It's catchy rock songs either directly about one thing or heavily hinting at one thing. It's just a steady stream of bangers.
I liked it more than I wanted to 4/5
Son great rock and roll! The title track is so incredible.
Outstanding sounds and fury! I love the sound of Bon Scott and the band was still doing fresh songs, they weren't yet in the, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mode. Sure, a bit of it is repetitive but it still makes you want to get up and dance and bang your head.
(devil horns emoji)
On se edelleen menevä levy!
Geht gut nach vorne - 4.5
It's Basic. Basically good.
Balsas nepakartojamas. Labai geras abumas, labai geros gitaros. Problema, kad man visos dainos tiesiog skamba thunderstruck lol
I would never consider myself a fan of AC/DC. Everyone i knew as a teenager had the Live CD and Back in Black. They were never my choice when it was my turn to play music. Be that as it may this album is really good. Beyond the title track the remaining songs are well produced and sound good.
Blistering Riffs, screaming vocals, a bit samey musically gotta be AC/DC but it’s just what the Dr ordered!
A few years back I listened to Back in Black alot and really got into the album - but did not explore the rest of the ACDC catalogue. Very much enjoyed Highway to Hell - not quite as polished as BiB - but it rattles along at non stop pace and is a great undemanding listen. Not quite a 5 but a high 4. No stand out track as they all pretty much sound the same - not really a criticism as I enjoyed the whole.
Great album
second ac dc album and i love this. genuinely gets me so excited and hype
нуу нормально. все песни очень одинаковые, но вроде бы даже хорошие
Classic AC/DC that doesn’t go wrong, and I don’t care if many of the tracks sound similar. Lot of new songs to me and I did enjoy them all, great album length so nothing overstays its welcome. 4.25/5
Solid after solid, not much variety but that’s not what you come to AC/DC for. You enter this house for energy and fire and then you leave
I always through they were more like the Ramones. Tight 2 minute bangers. These songs were all a lot longer than I expected. I’ll leave that up to you wether it’s good or not.
Great stuff.
4/5 8.3/10 has some bangers.
Anther classic album by the Aussies in this collection, and a fitting swan song for Bon Scott and his distinct vocals. I never really idolized AC/DC the way I did bands like Van Halen or even Iron Maiden, but I always respected their commitment and consistency, and this album is probably their finest moment. Curiously, there aren't too many outstanding tracks on this album for me, aside from the indelible title track and "Shot down in flames" and "Night Crawler", but taken as a whole it's a whole lot of heavy-duty rock filling your eardrums. Sadly, the videos to many of the tracks are incredibly boring faxu-live performances, and so clearly lip-synched/air-guitared that they kind of tarnish the otherwise fine songs. But very interesting to read how they chose/recruited "Mutt" Lange to produce the album and how transformative he was for helping them be better musicians.
A bangin ride. Wasn't coming into this with high expectations given I'm not the craziest about the vocals on the biggest AC/DC hits but I ended up liking Bon Scott's vocals more
a lot ofsongswere alike but i enjoyed them
I found myself comparing to back in black...this was great but black is a notch better.
Amazing album with many iconic tracks. 4.5
If you are expecting anything more than classic AC/DC, then you will be disappointed. Fortunately, I knew what I was getting into. It sounds great, and has some great songs. Is it my favorite? Probably not, but I liked it anyways.
This album starts so strong... and then I kept chasing that next great song on the album, and while they are all solid rock songs, I didn't find the next great AC/DC hit. If you played "Get it hot" in your right ear and "Highway to Hell" in your left, you'd hear they are essentially the same song!
Of COURSE it's good. It's a classic. Thank goodness for rock.
Classic, straight-up rock and roll. Simple but brilliant. 4/5
Awesome rock!
It was cool. I definitely respect their classic jams. I’d definitely listen again.

AC/DC doing AC/DC stuff. What’s not to love…?
The title track is a timeless classic - AC/DC also being one of the first rock bands I've ever listened to brings up some nostalgia and love towards this song and a band. Hooowever, this album is not perfect. All of the other songs feel like... Your average AC/DC songs. Which is good! This band has a particular problem of sounding the same since they started their career which was more than 50 years ago - I can respect their consistency though. But sounding the same for 50 years is something that kinda bores me. But, back to Highway to Hell. Great, enjoyable album with a classic opener.
Favorittbandet mitt fra 2003 jo
Loved this. Old school epic rock album
Good, as expected from AC/DC
Everything else aside, I miss Bon Scott.
Great fun, I enjoyed most songs
so electric. felt so pumped. they really kept the energy up!
hell yeah 🤘
A really good A-side gives way to an ok B-side. No bad tracks on the second half, but they don’t quite reach the rock n roll boner standard of tracks like Highway to Hell and Touch Too Much. All in all a solid album
Solid rock album. High energy. Didn’t feel any down spots.
This album is aptly titled, since it is "Highway to Hell" followed by a bunch of tracks that remind the listener of "Highway to Hell." That's not really a bad thing, though. Favorite track: "Highway to Hell"
Bangers all the way down.
Rocks pretty simply
There's no denying that the iconic sound of AC/DC is extremely enjoyable. The roaring guitar riffs, iconic vocals and heavy production always makes for a great listen, but I have to say that this album doesn't hit the same as Back In Black. Some of the tracks here blur into one, and 2-3 of the middle section feels very much like filler material.
Classic banger.
8/10
Good classic rock vibes
Pure rock without frills.
just some good classic rock. AC/DC gives you what you want and nothing less from the genre. Yes, a lot of it is samey sounding but therein lies the charm. Sick riffs, predictable drums, clear and loud vocals. Pretty great all around. Perfect garage mechanic soundtrack.
Just some classic AC/DC. No bells and whistles, just catchy guitar riffs and vaguely sexual lyrics. “Shot Down in Flames” is a great tune as is “Girls Got Rhythm”. I was going to give it 5 but it’s more of a 4.5 so round down!
Aussie aussie aussie
Very good voice, but a lot of the songs sounded the same. Hells bells was besg
Very easy listen. Reminds me of a childhood car ride with Scott Dudek. Classic rock at its finest. That said, many of the songs sound very similar to a sense that when it starts I’m like “oh I’ve heard this jawn before,” but in reality I have not— it just sounds very similar to something I’ve heard. Still very good, 3.8/5– would listen with Scott on a drive through CVNP.
As a lot of other reviews have said, this is a fun enough album, but it is 10 slight variations on the same song. A low four, as that song is quite good.
Yah this is one of the greatest hard rock/early heavy metal albums of all time. It literally starts with one of the greatest songs in all of rock music, which is truly saying something. I do think it hasn’t aged perfectly, but that’s mostly because of the music mentality at the time. For example when I was a kid and all I listened to was AC/DC, KISS, Aerosmith, Poison, etc. you can hear very clearly that the goal is to find a sound and refine it but NOT to stray from that sound ever. I think the two biggest and best examples of that is AC/DC and KISS. They both riddled out their rock sound and never tried to truly stray from it. Now financially they clearly knew what they were doing. But in hindsight, when you are listening to an album where every song is intentionally made to sound like the last song, it gets stale quicker than 14 yr old me would like to admit. Once again, literally one of the greatest straightforward rock albums of all time. But yah don’t go into expecting variety.
Riffs for days, solos rip throughout the project. The lyrics are pretty standard sex, drugs, and rock and roll type stuff. But if you take it for what it is, it’s pretty easy to jam out to.
This was fun!
AC/DC’s Highway to Hell. Bon Scott’s last ride. Mutt Lange produced. They figured it out here. Scott died six months later. Greatness becomes myth becomes legend. Fuel of the gods.
People weren't kidding, every AC/DC song sounds like every AC/DC song. Even if they wrote one song eleven times, it's one damn good song and it was a good time. Not really much to say past that.
Classic hard rock, good songs, great guitar. Must Lange’s production really helped them sound their best.
Rock in
Solid Rock & Roll, right here. Do I enjoy bands that are constantly putting out new and different music that evolves over time? Yes. Do I enjoy AC/DC who mastered their craft and cranked out a bunch of similar albums that all rock the fuck out? You’re god damn right, I do 🤘🏻🤘🏻. I wish Metallica had stuck to the AC/DC formula instead of evolving their way to Load and St. Anger 😒 *Gwar’s cover of If You Want Blood is superior
Pure rock & roll. Like the definition rock & roll. But I do like Back in Black a bit more.
A solid rock record all the way through. Not sure if anything on the album is as good as the title track but a good listen none the less.
Good and fun Rock and Roll. Not quite perfect, but very good and glad to have listened to it.
Dropping the horny-ass rock n roll sledgehammer, as they always do. Bon's a beast. Malcolm's the riffmeister general. Tight rhythm section for Angus to go apeshit over. "[She had] the body of Venus with arms."
This album is not my favourite from AC/DC but a sure go to when I'm I want to listen to rock.
AC/DC often gets criticized for never changing their sound. It’s a fair criticism to be sure, but how much does that matter if the songs are mostly good? I suppose the sameness isn’t a real problem if you’re a fan (which I am), and in some ways the similarities in the music make it easier to distinguish the great from the merely fine. This album has two really great tracks (title cut and “If You Want Blood…”). The rest are mostly fine rockers with the exception of “Night Prowler”, which is a letdown as an album ender. There’s a grittiness to the album that makes it stand out from its contemporaries, but this is solid hard rock for all times.
Dropping the horny-ass rock n roll sledgehammer, as they always do. Bon's a beast. Malcolm's the riffmeister general. Tight rhythm section for Angus to go apeshit over. "[She had] the body of Venus with arms."
Just a bunch of horny Aussie lads playing classic blues rock, but they do it so very, very well.
Sure, it feels like the same song played 10 times over, but it still rocks hard! 🤘🤘
classic
This is a good album. Most of the songs on this album sound exactly like AC/DC, which is awesome, but actually hard to do. Sometimes an album sounds like the same iteration of the same song again and again and that gets boring. This manages to sound exactly like them and unique enough across the board that it doesn't make it boring or tedious.
Big album
Great vocals. Great guitar. Awesome, fat bass sound. This rips
ROCKS.
There can't be many acts that generate such a feeling of being a cliche, parody of, well themselves. The opening song is no longer a song, it's a cheesy movie/TV montage that going to end in explosions. And then the next song starts and its pretty much the same, just with different lyrics, and what poetry. ACDC give you exactly what it says on the tin, they do it well as long as you aren't looking for too much variety. But don't get me wrong, I like the album sometimes basic is what you need, if only occasionally. And I guess it's not the records fault that it's been assimilated into every action film/advert. 3.5 Star, cause sometimes it what you need.
AC/DC as a fantastic band if you’re drunk as hell on a boat on a hot summer day, otherwise they’re kind of hard to listen to
Not a lot of variation but their formula also works so well it’s hard to hate.
Solid classic rock, didn’t really have any skips but don’t know if I’d put it in a regular rotation
Really iconic and entertaining
Liked this! Favs were Get It Hot and If You Want Blood
I've never heard an AC/DC album all the way through, and I have to say it benefits from pausing between the A and B sides. This is a lot of rock music at one time. And it's AC/DC - they don't do ballads, or low tempo numbers, or, well, dynamics, even. But they lay it down like very few bands can. I really like it, actually. The first two tracks are rock radio mainstays, so I was familiar with them, but the let-off in quality I was expecting after those wrapped up didn't happen until the second to last song. Which might have just been Rock Fatigue. "Love Hungry Man" might be the worst song on the album but it is at least trying something a bit different than boilerplate AC/DC, which is fun. Hey ya know what screw it FOUR STARS
Returning back to rating these, and can’t really go wrong with AC/DC. Always consistently good, but also not surprising in any way - so no “wow” factor here either. Enjoyed the tunes though.
Never heard an AC/DC album in full. Beyond the hits of Highway to Hell and If You Want Blood (You Got It) lies an incredibly solid slab of hard rock. While it can be one dimensional at times (as with a lot of AC/DC's music) it was an enjoyable listen none the less.
A great rock album, for sore a very iconic album Fav song - Highway to Hell and Girls Got Rhythm 4/5
One of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll albums of all time.
Classic, simple rock
Not what I would listen to but I understand why this is such a classic
Solid and consitent but lacks stand out tracks. Light 7
Pretty good, love the energy. Favourite Song: Shot Down in Flames Honourable Mention: Highway to Hell, Walk All Over You
very good
Good stuff
he songs are fun, the guitar riffs stick with you, and the title track is an all-time classic. Some parts feel a bit samey, but overall it’s pure energy start to finish. 4 stars
Solid rock, good fun
I'm not sure I'm cool enough for this album.
Might be ACDCs best album.
Hell yeah. If I were growing up when this album came out, and also happened to be an adolescent boy, I imagine I would feel mischievous and badass listening to this. Listening to this felt easy, which made me understand how AC/DC is the Pop artist of the rock genre. Their songs on this album were structured similarly, which felt repetitive at times, but was still enjoyable.
Like A Body Needs Blood 1001 Albums Generator 117 (09/12/2025) Every AC/DC song (and thus every AC/DC album) pretty much sounds the same. But when the sound is this good, you can't really be mad. Highway To Hell is the sixth album by AC/DC and was the last album they recorded with their original vocalist, Bon Scott, before he tragically died. It features their biggest song in the title track and is their second biggest album ever. The title track opens the album and it is so obviously awesome. The chorus, riff, solo, and verses are all iconic. Girls Got Rhythm is another hit that is quite good, especially with the group vocals in the chorus, and Walk All Over You has a bit more of a restrained tempo and a less predictable structure. The opening riff of Beating Around the Bush is really cool; I had not heard that song before. It's bluesy and fun with great call-and-response between the guitar and vocals in the verses. If You Want Blood is a super hype song that just gets me real fired up. I kind of understand people's hesitation when it comes to Bon Scott's vocals; they are definitely quite shrill at times, but it just really works on here honestly. I will also say that although all the songs here are kind of the same, some of them are less than others, with Touch Too Much and Get It Hot being my personal least favorites. Highway To Hell is a great, classic example of a hard rock powerhouse that deserves its iconic status. 4/5.

Rating: 8.5-9/10 The second half is not as good, but this is amazing. This album is banger after banger track that's head-banging heaven. Simplicity can equate to greatness, and these guys simply have it.
Great album with some great songs. Gets a knock because every song sounds kinda the same; not much range.
Just a lot of fun. It's almost all the same song over and over again. But what a song it is.
Standout Songs: Highway To Hell Girls Got Rhythm Touch Too Much Shot Down in Flames If You Want Blood (You've Got It) Night Prowler
What to say, AC/DC still keeps remaking this record, but for good reason... Not the biggest fan, but the record is fun.
AC/DC found one thing they did well and went all-in with it. I sure wish today's good time party music sounded like this!
4/5 Best Track - "Highway To Hell"
yeah ac/dc writes the same song every time but they all rock
Best AC/DC album in my opinion. Solid pretty much all the way through and filled with awesome riffs. Favorite track: Highway to Hell (Shot Down in Flames a close second)
First AC/DC album that I've listened to in full. It's kind of cheesy I guess, but eh, it's still pretty listenable and I can see why they're popular. Not high art by any means, but it's fun.
Um verdadeiro clássico. Para compilar tudo o que foi o AC/DC com Bon Scott, só faltou a gaita de foles.
Not their best, and kind of all sound the same, but I also like a "usual".
A couple of standout bangers in the title track and Touch Too Much make this album a guaranteed 4 Stars. Rip Bon Scott.
This is easily their best offering. Some real bangers on this one.
Þessi plata byrjar af svo miklum dúndurkrafti að maður æsist allur upp. Lögin sem á eftir koma eru ekkert síðri. Ég viðurkenni alveg fúslega að ég er alltaf til í svona tónlist og mun alltaf gefa henni háa einkunn óháð gæðum tónlistarinnar en þessi fær 4 bara af því að ég veit hvað þeir eiga mikið inni.
You ever heard AC/DC before? Yup. In standard AC/DC fashion, the songs all sound very similar. It's good fun, though, so it's hard to be too cynical about it.
Really great album. I liked it. It brings energy.
Rock and roll.
Clearly, DDDDC > HtH. Why isn’t the former on the list, I wonder?. Still a very enjoyable experience to revisit this classic
Not fancy. Gets the job done. Addresses the issue of middle men in fancy clothes who sit on the fence.
not sure what to say here but uh yeah pretty cool
Much better than the previous offering. More accessible musically to the layperson. The voice can still be quite grating, but it really is some enjoyable rock/metal (Beating Around the Bush was fantastic). I think they’ve earned a 4.
I really care if all sounds the same I really enjoyed it
Consistent
Riffs riffs and more riffs. This is guitar driven with bluesy beats. ACDC at their finest. Much cleaner and cohesive than their previous albums. Although those are great too. This one shows they were ready for the big time. No skips press play and enjoy
They had their formula, and it worked. Fair play. 15-year old me would've given this 5 stars, but they lose marks for the lack of musical bravery. Did it change the world? Yes. Is there better rock music out there? Also yes.
a classic, maybe a little dusty - all great sonds heard 1000 times
Awesome album.
So much energy
Raw, anthemic, rock and roll. Straightforward heavy riffs. Bon Scott's raspy vocals. Angus Young's eclectic, electric soloing. The call and response style backing vocals. Everything ties together to make a proper iconic, energetic album. My only gripe is that later in the album some songs did start to sound just a touch repetitive in places. But overall a great listen. Favourite track - Touch Too Much. 8/10
Felt younger than I expected
Even if you don’t like AC/DC, you have to admit they do what they do well. It’s a great album full of dirty hard rock songs played by great musicians, what more could you ask from AC/DC? It’s not anything life changing, but it’s a good time.
This is another one of those late 70’s / early 80’s bands that remains part of the cultural zeitgeist, but that I never really gave much thought or attention. For me, this period of Rock always fell a little flat. It missed the ambition and experimentation of the 60’s and early 70’s, but didn’t fully lean into the absurdist party vibe of the mid to late 80’s. It feels like a middle child of Rock that didn’t do anything particularly unique or memorable. That said, there’s nothing wrong with this album, and my rating reflects that. Throw it on at a party and no one’s mad, but it just leaves me wanting something more. 4/5 Highlights: Highway to Hell Touch Too Much Beating Around the Bush If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)
Almost as good as their best
i like. Highlights: title track, “walk over you,” “touch too much”
Gøyalt rockealbum. Gode låter, mye høres helt likt ut så klart. Man merker tydelig at det er noen bluesreferanser i låtene oppbygging og tekst, men ellers en helt egen sjanger. Selvfølgelig er klassikeren her.
As songs, they go hard, but as an album it's very tiring to listen to. Pretty much all Heavy Metal albums have this issue to me, great for being mixed among other songs but as just the album front to back is exhausting.
4 out of 5. Classic rock staple, doesn't deviate but doesn't get boring.
Bon Scott's vocals just hit differently. RIP to a legend, would have loved to see what the band could have become had he not passed away so soon. This thing is pure 70s metal awesomeness.
Just hella fun!
Already knew this one cause classic you know ?
un clasico!
I loved this album!
Ui, das ist schwierig. Natürlich ist das legendär, vor allem im Sound und seiner schlichten Genialität, aber halt auch entsetzlich breitbeinig. Immer diese harten Männer... Musikhistorisch 4-5/5, rein musikalisch 3,5/5, also 4/5
I wasn't sure about this ... I do NOT like the singer for AC/DC. But this wasn't bad. I read Bon Scott was lead singer at the time, but he died after this album was released. So sad, because I liked his voice. The next album - Back in Black - brought us Brian Johnson and was a big hit. But I just can't stand his voice - sorry.
I have a pretty big soft spot for AC/DC. Does every song they’ve ever written sound pretty much the same? Yep. But thankfully, that song is pretty fun. And I could listen to Angus Young solo pretty much all day. Highway to Hell is a classic. 4/5
Yeah, solid.
It's a classic, but not my favorite highway
40 minutes of scorching and horned up hard rock and heavy metal. Incredible to open with “Highway to Hell” and then maintain that energy for an entire album. Bon Scott’s screaming wail is absolutely insane. This is a fun and ridiculous album, but a good time for sure.
I'm glad that "Back to Black" is on this list, which I rated as a 5, because it's a good gauge to help me rate this one. "Highway to Hell" is one of the great rock songs of all time. No other song on the record comes close to that, and even though it's packed with some great other tunes, they are just that... "other tunes" and not huge standout tracks. Regardless, AC/DC are amazing, and this record has no weak spots which I find really impressive. Sure, maybe it lacks a bit of depth because of that, but I think that's a fine tradeoff- don't experiment too much and give me the sound that I want when I put on an AC/DC record. 4.1/5.
Classic! Listened to it on my way home from work 😛
Last album with Bon Scott. To me, this was the end of an era. Truly their last great album. Back in Black is good, but was just not the same as the Bon Scott era. 3.65/5 stars = 4 Can't miss songs: Night Prowler Highway to Hell Walk All Over You Get It Hot
It’s AC/DC. Classic but not fantastic…it’s just AC/DC.
-Highway to Hell is a great song, even if you don't enjoy heavy music. It's also a fantastic way to kick off the album by setting the mood. The singer's voice does get a bit repetitive but I like the guitar solos.
I can now say I thoroughly enjoy AC/DC lol
