Highway to Hell

Solid

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)

Good fun that wears a little too thin…

Almost as good as their best

Some great, some shit

As middle of the road as rock music comes.

Danas sam saznala da oni, kad bi se zanemario vokal, ne bi baš bili najgori bend na svijetu. Ali pošto se ova vokalna katastrofa nikako ne može zanemariti, ništa od toga.

Ihan ok kaljanjuontirockia, 3/5

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.

3.2 I'll start by saying ACDC are massively overrated. This was more bearable than others though. Angus' vocals just get a bit much after 1 song never mind 10. The songs are too formulaic also, about 6 of these songs could easily blend into 1. Still, some of the solo's are banging, and on a mix tape a few of these would be worthy additions. But I was glad when the album was drawing to a close.

Fun but in one ear out the other

Dogwater

Even with overfamiliarity, this is undeniably one of the great rock albums. So good it has allowed AC/DC to remain popular despite decades of mediocrity.

After days and days of dark, somewhat weird music, I was excited to get some simple fun in the way of AC/DC. While it's not an album I'd listen to regularly, it was definitely a blast to listen to, and something I will probably go back to when I'm in the specific mood for something that just plain rocks. Even the less hype songs still have a lot of energy, and really pumped me up!! I'm going to give this a 3/5--not a masterpiece, but still really solid, with no bad songs or moments.

Just hella fun!

Already knew this one cause classic you know ?

un clasico!

I loved this album!

Never listened to a whole ACDC albumbefore and what an experience! The whole album is great, energetic with great guitars and impossible not to feel the urge to dance. . The album is really cohesive as well. Easy 5/5

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.

they are def on the highway to hell

I wouldn’t call it good, but it’s fun

First rock album I owned, and one that I still listen to today.

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

one of ac/dc's most iconic albums and the last album with bon scott performing vocals. it's labeled as blues rock in some circles but i really feel like i would classify this as classic metal music. these men take you on a one-way train right straight to the eternal pits of hell, where the flames burn for miles, demons play around and smokin' hot babes keep you company. it's full of energy, and you can physically feel the forces from deep within the earth's core making you bang your head. it's slammin' rock music that makes you feel alive. and it feels really damn good to be alive. woooooooooo!!!

не совсем мое, но приятные воспоминания из детства. подойдёт для мальчишника или фильма с адам сэндлером, или ехать в грузовике. альбом крутой но ваще не мой вайб

This is the first “hard” rock album I bought and only the second band I saw live as I was lucky enough to catch them on the tour at the tender age of 13! I absolutely played in to death, bought all their back catalogue and wanted to be Angus! This is really the last proper AC/DC album even though Back in Black is pretty good they lost a bit of their swagger and most of their tongue in cheek humour when Bon died. I lost interest in them after that.

Title track is way overplayed. Touch Too Much and Shot Down in Flames are the best songs here. I do prefer Bon Scott over Brian Johnson but Powerage would have been my choice for AC/DC albums.

Yeah, solid.

High three great classic rock album

It's a classic, but not my favorite highway

Classic rock radio ruined ACDC for me. It's rudimentary, boring rock and roll. They created a blueprint that a lot of other bands expanded on. And they definitely have their place in rock history. But I almost never intentionally listen to ACDC anymore. I don't listen to this just like I don't eat vanilla ice cream on purpose. Why do that when there are so many good flavors and toppings out there? I mean, I'd rather vanilla over nothing. Just like I'm not going to hate ACDC. But it's basically my last choice.

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.

Dad- 7 Mom- 4 Mike- 4 Lori- 3 Michael- 6 Miles- NA Cole- 2 Avg- 4.33

Best leuk hoor, vooral de titeltrack natuurlijk, maar het klinkt allemaal hetzelfde. Echt elk nummer.

It’s actually incredible how much they manage to do with such a narrow palette

Hell yeah. This rocks!

Awesome

Boring, stopping listening 1/3 of way through.

Disfrutable si de verdad te gusta el hard rock. No me ha disgustado pero se me ha hecho un tanto repetitivo.

GET ME OUT OF HERE

Fine, carried by Highway to Hell

I feel like if you like dad rock, this must be pretty good. But I couldn’t find anything memorable for me at all.

Classic! Listened to it on my way home from work 😛

this website is trying to kill me personally. i STRUGGLED through bib LITERALLY YESTERDAY and theyre like hey do you want basically the same exact album again? no! i do not! admittedly i do think this one is better, rip bon scott your vocals are much easier on my ears.

Previously mediocre band, killed by Mutt Lange.

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

That s it!!!!

Classic

It’s AC/DC. Classic but not fantastic…it’s just AC/DC.

It's a fun album to air-guitar to.

Why has the guy furthest to the left on the album cover got such a big head?

Acdc

I really like a lot of AC/DC but other than the title track here, this album is not their best stuff.

-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.

Years ago, I had a dream I was riding a golf buggy on the motorway and blasting ‘Highway to Hell.’ Can confirm I’d like to do that in real life too.

Ist ganz okay. Die meisten Songs klingen sehr ähnlich und ich kann auch nicht besonders viel mit der Genre metallic hard rock anfangen. Klassiker wie "Highway to hell" sind aber natürlich trotzdem ganz cool. Kannte die anderen 8 Songs tatsächlich nicht. Fande bei "Walk all over you" die Gitarren Parts ganz cool. Bei "Touch to much" finde ich den anfang sehr nice, da er ein bisschen anders als der Rest ist. Bei "Night Prowler" finde ich auch den Anfang am besten, also die Gitarre und das Schlagzeug. Ich war insgesammt kein großer Fan von der Singstimme da es nicht so mein Geschmack ist. Insgesammt so 3/5 Sternen. Man kann es mal hören aber ich würde es nicht auf meine Playlist packen.

My first time listening to an entire AC/DC album. Yep, it sounded like AC/DC. They have a sound and they stuck with it. It's fun and energetic and definitely has its place.

Not my favourite genre, but keen to give it a go - many of the tracks on the album have a similar construction and rhythm - certainly hasn’t left me keen to explore their wider catalogue

Hig

*Strong album, but everything kinda sounds the same. *Didn't realize ac/dc is Australian. RATING - 7/10

I can now say I thoroughly enjoy AC/DC lol

Hey, another album I’ve listened to before. I only need to hear this album once instead of my usual twice. If I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure this is the second Australian album to reach my ears. I’ve always liked that my country is home to one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, though there’s a little bit of a complication: I don’t like hard rock. As an avid music lover this has, naturally and understandably, instilled within me a crippling sense of malaise and existential dread. In any case, I’m always down to give this album another go. Yeah. I mean, it’s AC/DC. Highway to Hell is a good track – very iconic. I can’t think of another song which is more emblematic of the hard rock genre. It may or may not be sacrilege, but I view Touch Too Much as the best song of the album. I enjoy the punchiness that the songwriting and vocals have, as well as the many kickass guitar riffs. Good song. Beating Around the Bush is a solid follow-up. Again, the punchy guitar hooks make for a nice listen, and I especially enjoy how the vocals harmonise with one another around the chorus. If You Want Blood does well to revitalise an (admittedly) weaker second half, and Night Prowler is a solid send-off with a sweet guitar solo. There’s nothing like an album closer being the longest track on the album, which works especially well here with how the song continually ups the ante. I came away with a dramatically improved opinion of this album, which is quite surprising. I guess trying to articulate my thoughts forces me to view these albums in a more favourable light. I’m gonna read the book entry for this album cus I love my country. Breakthrough album. An influence on metal. That’s about it, really. All things considered this is a solid pick. Massively successful and a representative of its genre. What else could you want from this list, really?

And I’m going down! All the way down! Sorry, just had to get that out, this album is a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. I’ve liked AC/DC, but I’ve never loved them as a lot of their songs are played a lot, so I figured that this album would basically just be a collection of singles, and it was…But it was a collection of really good singles. Singles that actually work together due to most of the songs having a similar subject matter. So what I’m saying is it actually works as an album. This album was the last album to feature the late Bon Scott, whose vocals are great, though unnatural. Everyone would agree that both AC/DC frontmen have strange voices. The Young brothers are a great addition the band, with Malcolm laying down some crunchy rhythms, and Angus dishing out some great riffs and solos. Cliff Williams bass and Phil Rudd’s drumming are both essential to giving the album that hard rock sound that AC/DC is known for. Overall, I’d say it was definitely a great album, and I feel as though it got me to change my tune on AC/DC.

C'est douche, c'est cave, y'a pas de balade. Bravo.

On s'tanne vite hein? Rendu à Touch Too Much c'est pas mal comme ça que j'me sentais. 2.5 étoiles

I enjoyed it! All the songs sounded more or less the same but Highway to Hell is really good and so are all the other songs love it! ACDC is cool and I like Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap I'll give it a nice 4

Exceptional album!

Highway to Hell is obviously a classic track … but not enough here to push it to a 4. Back in Black is better.

Talk about iconic. You hear that lick and you're a kid again, no matter where you are, what you're doing. You're in a hot rod on route 66 probably. Angus has always been a firecracker and a really capable, steady frontman. It's got that fun firey nature a lot of rock albums completely fucking forget about. Electrifying really. Rock was everything back then. This album makes me wanna go shoot pool and drink beers all night. I mean as a rock band, AC/DC was everything a rock band should be-- and what they should sound like too. I like the speedier parts a bit more than the meat and potatoes bits- Beating Around the Bush being a standout for sure. A lot of this album is meat and potatoes driving drums, searing guitars and licks, Angus being Angus, and that's all good fun for the cookout. Night Prowler is for sure the blusiest on the album and It's honestly a great closer. The 80s were off to a great start. Also kinda odd that for an Australian band like, how big they got in the USA. Your parents fucking love AC/DC.

this is just kind of .... solid. every song is the same but not in a bad way?? idk.

This band is like Taco Bell: Same 4 ingredients, dozen different combinations. Instead of tortillas, cheese, beans and meat, AC/DC works in a medium of parties, fighting, booze, and chicks. You have to admire a band that knows their strength and stays in their lane. No, they’re not going to win a Michelin star anytime soon, but hell, sometimes a quesadilla and a burrito really hit the spot.

3.25 / 5 While I prefer Back in Black, I think this album has some great jams and the guitar work is always fun to listen to. I think you could play this at a summer party with old dudes (myself included) and it would probably be a safe bet that people would enjoy it.

This get a little tiring after a while

There's nothing subtle about AC/DC, but if you want high energy Rock...

Yes, every song sounds the same. That just means every song sounds like Highway to Hell, which is an all time classic. The rest of the tracks run together, but it's all good. Back in Black is better.

Hell yeah

Highway to Hell was fun. The rest of it was similarly high energy, but nothing else really stood out. This one is a high 3 star.

Does anyone care about anything on this album beyond Highway to Hell?

Can I say I like AC/DC better with Brian Johnson as lead singer? I love Bon Scott and his unique vocals, but the band really hit their stride under Johnson. Ok, now that I have that out of the way, I love AC/DC. Their stuff, especially from this era, lets me retreat into being a hormone crazed high schooler with nothing to do and tons of time to do it. This music was the backing track to all of that. Good times.

Did I rock out you ask? Of course I did. It would be rude not too.

Hell yeah

Nae that bad

not exactly "intelligent" music but ac/dc is one of the easiest ways to cure depression (for me at least.) leaves a big goofy smile on my face. yeah, their songs all sound the same, but at least that sound is really good. they're popular for a reason. favorite song: "touch too much" overall: 9/10

I used to like this album when I was in middle school, but I haven't enjoyed ACDC since a guy from college I hated made me play the drinking game "Thunderstruck" where you drink every time they say Thunder. Anyway, I came in planning to pan it since I've always considered AC DC to be the Bud Light of rock, but look, there's some aspects of the album that are good. The production is clean. The music is simple but driving. The lyrics are pretty dumb, but Bon Scott can sell. It's still Bud Light, but a beer is a beer. Still not a fan, but I can't give this lower than a three in good conscience.

I mean, AC/DC!

When “Girls got Rhythm” is arguably the weakest track on the record, that tells you every song is a banger. I love this record. The pinnacle of the Bon Scot era. Bon had a very mischievous nature and smugness to his swagger that was a unique style of his own. This contrast with the Brian era is most evident in songs like “Touch too much”, “walk all over you” and “Night Prowler”. The most underrated song on the album and for the band in general may just be “Beating around the Bush”. Nothing less than a full boat of stars.

I was gonna hold back on this one based on the obvious top rating of the next album. But then I shot that down in flames and realized you really have to treat AC/DC in two chapters: the Bon era and the Brian era. And when you do that, this powerhouse album shows the band firing on all cylinders at the height of Bon’s time. Let there be rock indeed!

God yes. I accidentally turned the volume down while listening to this briefly, and shamed myself for doing so. This requires full throttle. What’s that you say?? Every AC/DC song is the same? Perhaps you should shut up, nerd, and let this ballad free session of rock shower over you. Also the last one is in 6/8. Shows what you know.

Just some good ol rock and roll. I still don’t hear “season ticket…” Solid all the way through

Solid straight down the fairway rock. Reserving some points for the album that comes next... 4/5

No daje kopa. Taka trochę naiwna, ale pełna dobrej energii muzyka. Nie za ciężka (to jak o deserze - nie za słodkie), ale no jak sama nazwa zespołu wskazuje elektryzująca. 7/10

good i liked

Fast paced riff laden laddish metal rock not unlistenable but then why would I not really my thing.

Highway to Hell a classic and easily enjoyable. The rest all sound pretty similar. Totally fine

Ac/dc basically have one song but that one song is good. Back in black is a better album but this is great

4/5 stars 5 star - "Highway to Hell" Classic album Starts high octane, levels out 4 tracks in. Last Bon Scott album.

I loved this. Probably because of my dad haha. I do think a lot of it sounds similar but that’s ok because it’s a damn good song. I really liked if you want blood (you’ve got it).

Highway to hell is decently cool and the album cover is on point, but the rest is pretty middling rock. While high energy, this album struggles to capture your attention and every tracks bleeds into the next. In the end, the unique vocals save it from the dust bin.

It’s a classic of the genre but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen

me ha sorprendido para bien, aunque ya dana dolor de cabeza la voz del cantante. Es literalmente como me imagino que suenan los 70’s. Me he guardado algunas canciones.

To quibble that all their songs sound the same is useless because, that's almost the point!

Straight in with a banger. GOOD MORNING 🥳 Seems the rest of the album is demo versions of Highway To Hell

I mean lets face it, it is one of those albums that he word "classic" is made for! ACDC, especially the Bon Scott era, cannot be fucked with!

I was surprised to only really know one or two actual songs but since they all sound the same it didn’t make a difference. I’ve never been a huge ac/dc fan even though it was often played in locker rooms before practices. It was fine.

Excellent album by an excellent band.

Great, rockin

Sounds really cliché and slow now, hard to imagine what it would be like listening to it originally but must have made an impact

solid and emotional album

Sounds great, still. New favorite ‘Beatin’ Around the Bush’

Great.

The album is decent, but pretty samey. It pops off with Highway to Hell at the start, Touch Too Much is even better, and Night Prowler is pretty good, but the rest of the album is just good for background music.

🛣️

Crass, simple music for knuckle dragging cretins. What a fun album.

Glorious rock from go to woah. Shot Down in Flames is a song I hadn't heard but has flavours of Thunderstruck. Give the people what they want.

Classic album. Repetitive after awhile. It’s good to listen to individual songs but not all together.

Most of this album is a light version of the songs we know so well from them.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? It’s AC/DC or as the aussies say, accadacca. Really great rock and roll especially for the time. Not exactly my personal style of music but it has its place (dad rock playing in the background at a barbecue). I personally give this album a 5/10. Rounded down for personal reasons.

A lot of the songs on this album sounded the same. I got bored halfway through.

Pretty good, title track carries album hard though.

Around song 3 I thought "well at least there IS a good song, maybe this album won't be so bad" and then every other song was using similar riffs and progressions, like I don't usually say shit like that because I barely know about music but there is a point where the meme about them writing the same song over and over is just true and it shows.

I liked it

A couple of classics, but I never realized how much the rest of AC/DC's catalog sounds pretty much identical to each other. They're not bad, but they're not great. As an album, OK.

I grew up with AC/DC. They were not a huge favourite of mine, not as sophisticated as Deep Purple or some of the other bands I followed, but they were always on the ghetto blaster of the gang I ran with. A few years later I realised that there was much more to AC/DC than I had given credit for. I knew all the albums, at least up until Back in Black, but I had never really listened to the song construction, had mistaken simplicity for simple. Yes, AC/DC do one thing, but they do it incredibly well and the songs don't all sound the same. Highway to Hell may well be my favourite. Powerage runs it close but lacks Mutt Lange's wonderfully clear production. Back in Black is a classic but lack's Bon Scott's roguishness and presence. There is not a bad track on the album. "Highway to Hell", the song, captures everything that was great about AC/DC in the late '70s - the four to the floor kick drums and clear snare, the rounded open bass tone, Malcolm Young's deceptively simple open chord riffs, Angus's stabs over the top and his bluesy soloing, and Bon's winking lascivious growling - he's going to hell but hell ain't a bad place to be (as someone said...) "Girls got Rhythm", "Walk All Over You", "Touch Too Much", "Beating Round the Bush", "Shot down In Flames", I could list them all, all variations on a theme, but a great theme. This is Bon's album for me, and not just because it was his last. His sense of humour is all over the lyrics and he delivers them knowingly, with a smirk. As great as Back In Black is, it has always struck me as slightly odd how quickly after Bon's death it was completed. But perhaps he would have wanted that... Shazbot. Nanu Nanu!

Täytti odotukset!

Rock.

Kyyyl!! Pari ei niin hyvää rallia mutta kokonaisuudessaan rautainen levy.

Olihan se kova.

AC/DC, known for their bluesy-rock and schoolboy outfits, brings their Catholic Faith into full view on this album. This rich concept album begins with the tales of a young man (absolutely NOT autobiographical on Bon or the Young Brothers part) journey starting with their subjugation to sin as they reconcile their Highway to Hell (very Catholic). Songs like Touch to Much and Walk Over You masterfully represent the moral conflict the protagonist is feeling toward his lustful habits as these are a continue part of the Highway monologue. But, while in an amorous moment he meets a girl whose is of Catholic Rhythm methods (Girls Got Rhythm) squelch his sexual desire leaving him open to the concepts of redemption. This trial is graphically detailed in his fall from grace with songs like Shot Down in Flames and Get It Hot, where the fear of eternal damnation overtakes him, and finally he finds salvation in You Want Blood where he accepts the sacrifices of the divine and Love Hungry Man where he accepts his need to spiritual growth. But, he is aware that the Night Prowler is ever lurking to take him back. It is spiritually uplifting and should be played in every church at high volume. …and completely crap. After 340 albums. I thought I’d mix it up. Great album though, and a cheers to the great Bon Scott.

Random thoughts: * If Back to Black is the Mona Lisa of cock rock, Highway to Hell is the Vitruvian Man of cock rock. * Not as loaded with well know hits but all the songs rock. * Highway to Hell is pretty ironic considering Bon Scott's fate. * You can't really go wrong with rocking out to this not quite a classic. Rock on!

Que serait l'humanité sans AC/DC?

Pas pire. Pas pire écoeuré du gros rock itou.

Écouter ça me fait regretter mon 4 étoiles pour salade hier. ÇA, c’est du vrai rock! Tellement efficace, les riff de guit sont infectieux. T’as envie de monter le son à 11! Touch too much, meilleur chanson. If you want blood, délicieux

This is a very silly album and I think it’s great.

How many billions of streams??? What an incredible energy for an album to have, and those guitars! If I recorded this album, the police would have had to shoot me to death.

Love it. Great album

You can hear the seeds of AC/DC going from the world’s greatest bar band to arena rock legends over the course of this album. It’s just a shame that Bon Scott couldn’t hold it together and would go on to die at 33 the next year. The band is tighter, precise, at the top of their game, with the kinds of riffs that would propel them to superstardom. And yet the key is Bon, who is slowly turning from raucous emcee to masterful frontman over the course of this one record. Honestly, AC/DC never sounded better than this, and as shown in the muddle of Back in Black, they never really would reach this height again.

the title track rips but unfortunately there are 9 other songs after it

Great rock album.

Perfect for driving rig in traffic

Favorite songs: Shot Down in Flames, Walk All Over You, Girls Got Rhythm, If You Want Blood (You've Got It), Highway to Hell, Touch Too Much, Beating Around the Bush, Night Prowler Least favorite songs: if forced to pick, Get It Hot 5/5

YES

A lot of it sounds very similar, but it is good fun. A couple of the songs shake it up a little. Highway to Hell is a classic. Struggling to choose a rating as I did enjoy it, but I think I would get bored very quickly with how similar it is. Settling for a 3 because while the energy is good, I can't see myself putting the album on again. Fav song: Highway to Hell Least fav: Love Hungry Man

Classic for a reason. Starts off very strong with highway to hell then just keeps that going. Short sweet and gets you in a good mood id say. Specific rating - 4.4 Fav song- highway to Hell Least fav- love hungry man

A lot of it sounded pretty much the same to me, not necessarily bad just the same. Favourite: Highway to Hell Least: Walk All Over You

I stopped drinking and smoking then my interest in ac/dc waned. Think there’s a connection?

Knew that I liked these guys, but never had the chance to listen to the whole thing. Thanks for the suggestion.

Boring, but better than Back in Black.

High energy. Don’t love the womanizing undertone of some of the lyrics but definitely surprised me that I liked it better than I thought I would.

10 or whatever times the same song.

This is the album where AC/DC got their shit together, integrated the targeting systems on their love/hate missile and reinvented rock music. I prefer Malcolm Young's vocals to Bon Scott's (who died shortly after recording this album) mostly because Back in Black and For Those About to Rock dominated my adolescence, but the corralled chaos of him makes this album largely perfect except for the blues drag of "Night Prowler."

I love to rock but I hate AC/DC, a one-note band that just bores me. They remind me of the feeling of being stuck at a party you want desperately to escape, but you can’t leave because your ride is off shotgunning beers or hooking up with someone behind closed doors (this covers much of my high school experience). This is slightly better than I expected — I think I prefer Bon Scott as vocalist to his successor, who just evokes chain-smoking — but I still couldn’t wait for it to end. Songs like “Get It Hot” and “Touch Too Much” are just ridiculous — heavy petting anthems that would turn me off faster than “Pour Some Sugar On Me.” The production is clean, the guitar tone is quality, the drumbeat never varies, and yet rather than being exhilarating, it all feels like a slog.

Is this band consistent, or one idea run into the ground? Either way, I guess this is the one to hear. I was not expecting a Mork from Ork reference at the end of Night Stalker. That did not age well.

Bon Scott went out on a high note. Or, rather, a raspy wail. RIP. Are all the songs on this album perfect? No. They never are. That was never AC/DCs thing. But even the worst AC/DC song is still stupid fun.

Brilliant album. First time listening to it all the way through.

2+ Stars (6/15)

Wore out a cassette in the 80s with this!

Well what can you say about this? It's an absolute classic. The last one with Bon as front man. The title track is as, whatever the word is, today as it's ever been. And there are some great rock songs on here beside the 3 singles. I do possess this album, and had it on tape with Back in Black, the first Brian album. They complement each other so well. Back though to this one, it's a great album, but not perfect. Sorry Bon, Angus, Salcombe, et al but it's not a 5 a very strong 4 definitely

Despite so many suspect lyrics I really like this album. I’ll prefer to assume that all of their obvious hornyness is aimed in completely legal ways. That way I can just enjoy the great and cliched ‘rock’ style and the gravelly vocals.

This was slightly less cringey than I expected. What are they? They are too lame for Heavy Metal, so i guess it's some sort of hard (ish) rock. It's just not for me. That said, i didn't get the urge to chew my arm off. As they are all musically competent I would have given them a 3, but as the guitarist uses to dress up as a schoolboy its a 2.

This was a 2 but then my son started dancing loads to it and it was lovely so it gets an extra one.

Like quite a lot of the guitar and rhythm section work - fun in a classic pop way (could easily be Sweet, T-Rex or early Bowie). But god, those vocals, lyrics and image. Just so irritating and offputting.

Reminds of poker nights and guitar lessons! Fun!

Late to the party with AC/DC - really didn’t like it in my younger days. But it’s just simple of heavy rock really ain’t it…I like the hits, probably wouldn’t give this album a 2nd look though if I’m honest.

Music to suit my parental status. 666 stars

Bon scotts vocals are primally powerful and down under. This is classic high powered sex drugs and rock and roll.

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.

Highway to Hell It has no pretension, no swords or dwarves, no parental angst and it is entirely successful in executing exactly what it set out to do - riffs, grooves, booze and sex. But don’t mistake simplicity for basicness - underneath that apparent simplicity they have a very smart and canny understanding of what works and what doesn't, and they also have their secret weapon; in Malcolm, Cliff and Phil they have a great rhythm section, not particularly ostentatious and obviously capably steady, but they have the ability to give the songs groove and an element of slipperiness that belies the plodding headbanging reputation. And Angus understands exactly what he should do, never overlong or self indulgent, punctuating things with excellent white man overbite air guitar style riffs and runs. That’s what I wrote for Back in Black, and this is pretty much the same - incredibly enjoyable and fun good time rock’n’roll. I think Back in Black is marginally better, in that it has 3 all time classics in Hells Bells, Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long, whereas the title track is probably the only true classic on this. However it’s still an excellent album with great seedy tracks like Girls Got a Rhythm, Touch too Much, Beating Around the Bush, Shot Down in Flames, If You Want Blood and the uber-sleazy Night Prowler. Despite being a notch below BIB it’s still a 5, another brilliantly fun 40 minutes. 🛣️🛣️🛣️🛣️🛣️ Playlist submission; Highway to Hell

I feel about this album as I feel about Back in Black. Namely, some deceptively simple yet iconic hooks, with a great stadium sound, great rock vocal, but the occasional tendency to drop into the formulaic rock n roll riffing of ZZ Top, despite an evident lack of pretension. I am not particularly interested in coming back to this album, the way I might Back in Black. Title track sure, and 'Love Hungry Man's is a treat. The rest is very proficient, and they have hit upon a sound that they could exploit for several more years.

Not as beloved for me as High Voltage, but still fun. Got pulled over for speeding once while blasting Highway to Hell, so I’ll always giggle at that memory.

Every single song sounds the exact same. Sorry to the fans of this if I’m missing some secret nuance here but wow what a boring record. Absolutely perfunctory rock.

Rock and fucking Roll.

Higway to hell is pretty good atleast, don't like ACDC tho. bon scott much cooler than brian Will I listen to again: 19%

Omg yesterday I listened to Pet Sounds. I wanted to cut my ears of. This is the perfect antidote. Dirty, loud, simple. No theremins or clown horns or fricking harmonies. Get some. Four stars. (Fuck Morrissey)

Absolute classic

Excellent, timeless album. It also happens to contain my all-time favorite AC/DC song: If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It). Its only real flaw is that it’s not Back in Black, but I think it proves that they’d have still taken that leap with or without Bon Scott.

Two-word review: Fuck yeah!

Highway to Hell is the best song on the albums, which is weird because it all sounds the same

I always found AC/DC an interesting phenomenon. On the one side, they can be fun, real fun. On the other side they are repetitive and boring like hell. If there is one group on the planet that is repetitive, then those hard rock minimalists. Highway to hell is no exemption. Individual songs are fun, the record as a whole never gets full rotation. It took me years to finally have listened to all songs and simply use it as a repository for one or the other song if I am to listen to them. It is their best outing, imho, but nonetheless....

Opens with a banger and stays strong from there

Real ones

This is the 136th album I’m rating. I had a different project before this one but I messed up my settings so I had to make a new one, and the album was this. Adding to my Playlist - Highway to Hell, Girls got Rhythm, Walk All Over You, Touch too Much, Beating Around the Bush, Shot Down in Flames, Get it Hot, If You Want Blood, Love Hungry Man, and Night Prowler. Not Adding to my Playlist - Nothing. Highway to Hell - A classic rock song that never gets old that I guess I forgot to add. All in all I liked 10/10 songs. AC/DC is really really good. Others bands like Led Zeppelin disappointed after learning that they're really just singles bands but AC/DC is good all the way through.

Not something I would ever listen to again but I can respect it

Highway to Hell: Classic and fun guitar Girls Got Rhythm: Not great vocals but catchy and fun guitar Walk All Over You: Kinda boring Touch Too Much: Kinda boring but maybe good solo Beating around the bush: fun guitar Shot Down in Flames: Pretty generic and boring Get it Hot: Boring Rest of songs: pretty boring all the same sound

Eh… not my fav AC/DC album. This is last with Bon Scott, first produced by Mutt Lange, but I don’t really love most of these songs. 3 great songs: 1. Night Prowler 2. If You Want Blood 3. Maybe Shot Down in Flames In general, I live AC/DC. If I was at a live show I could listen to them play this album back to back to back. As a singular listening experience these days… it’s a touch too much.

Not my style

4 / 4 rock songs that all sound very much the same

AC/DC albums are always just fun. I was very happy to see this come up in the rotation. Obviously nothing artistically deep is going on here but meh, I'll take that over something that's a chore to get through.

All time classic album!

This is more like it. Now, the big criticism can be summed up in this apocryphal story of a reporter asking Angus young how he responded to criticism they’d done the same album 13 times. Angus bristles and says ‘we’ve done 14 albums. ' And while that is not unfair, it doesn’t really grasp that that is what makes ac/dc great. An incredible consistency over 50 years. The band rocks. And rolls. Angus is one of the great rock guitarists. Malcolm is the metronome. As great as Phil Rudd is, ac/dc, like the Who and Metallica is driven, not by the drums, but by the rhythm guitar. Cliff young can’t be described as flashy, but solid. And Bon. He could scream, he could growl, he could plead. He could sing, man. All ac dc albums are 50 billion stars. Some are better than others. I’d have dirty deeds on this list rather than this one, because dirty deeds and jailbreak should be the national anthem and national song. I think it was Australian band frenzal rhomb who said we’d drink paint for acca Dacca. Fair dinkum we would. Here’s some more of my thoughts https://www.toppermost.co.uk/acdc/

Legend has it that the 'A' on Angus Young's schoolboy uniform cap stands not for 'Angus" or 'AC/DC', but for 'Ashfield Boys High', Malcolm and Angus' high school, and the original uniform that they borrowed for Angus to wear on stage. My sons all went to Ashfield Boys, and the uniform includes a baseball cap with a prominent 'A" (https://www.lowes.com.au/schools-online/ashfield-boys-high-school/black-cap-sco-29963) in homage. Angus Young always referred to AC/DC as "my brother's band", and that is true to the soul of what is going on here. Angus and Bon Scott are charismatic front men, but the backbone of AC/DC is the rhythm section, clearly led by Malcolm Young. It's all in the rhythm guitar. New producer Mutt Lange cleverly provides polish and punch to AC/DCs sound (which was pretty well defined by this point in their career) without adding too much filigree (beyond a blokey backing chorus) or distracting from the tight power and feel of the band. This is simple rock and roll, and you can easily dilute the power by gussying it too much, and Lange avoids that. He could clearly see that AC/DC knew what they were doing and were hungry to achieve success. They were putting int he work, on the road and in the studio. It's not rocket science, it's not poetry, but it rocks. It rocks hard. It's a simple formula, but it works. They have resisted the urge to muck around with the formula, and it has been really successful for them. It's hard to go wrong with AC/DC albums (because they don't change much), but I reckon this is pretty good example of their core mission. It's got a bunch strong songs on it (title track, If You Want Blood, Walk All Over You, Girls Got Rhythm, Night Prowler), and not a lot of duds (although Angus doesn't like Love Hungry Man, apparently). Footnote; Bon Scott is at the height of his powers here, and his unfortunate accidental demise shortly after this album's release is one of rock's great tragedies. I am uncomfortable with the way that Bon has become a legend of "hard livin'"; it is wrong to celebrate the man's loss as some kind of symbolic martyrdom to rock and roll. I don't think Bon wanted to die. I don't enjoy the way that legend of some records are inevitably caught up in the suffering of the artists involved. It's a form of trauma porn.

Title track is always fun. Girls Got Rhythm is not bad but his terrible voice was distracting. It sounds like he's trying to sound hard but not quite getting it? Same on Walk All Over You. The rest of the songs are fun - nothing crazy standout. Sidenote - had NO idea they were from Australia so that blew my mind!

Pretty average but gets an extra point for Highway to Hell

Nice album, full of popular song

One of my favorite AC⚡️DC songs of all time!

Probably you had to be there to get it, I wasn't.

It’s hard to dislike this. 70s/80s hard rock is by no means a favorite genre of mine, but where most of their peers tire me out by seemingly trying too hard, going over the top more often than not, AC/DC appear more concerned with keeping everything “in the pocket.” They know what they’re good at and they keep it pretty simple. That approach, I think, fits the genre so much better. This album, while not offering a lot of range, is fun as hell, sounds great, is full of energy, and doesn’t overextend itself. (I must also admit that Jack Black’s character from School of Rock, Dewey Finn, was a huge influence on my feelings about various “classic rock” bands, and AC/DC gets a lot of prominent love in that movie.) Must-listen #151!

rocanrol

qué bandón che, ya no las hacen asi

Solid rock and roll. Light 4/5.

classic AC/DC...... being tough, having women, 3 chords.

Excellent.

It's clearly not a season ticket

Some really good songs, but it feels kind of like listening to the same song a few times in a row. With enough re-listens I think this feeling might fade because on the second listen I didn't feel that way as much. Favourites were: Highway to Hell, If You Want Blood, and Night Prowler.

There are some bangers on this album, but it is also pretty repetitive. I might return to this someday, but that also depends on my mood and the occasion.

This is a pretty solid album. Maybe not their best, but definitely not their worst.

Before listening to this album, I'd never heard an AC/DC song I didn't like. But obviously there's some selection bias going on, since I was only familiar with their biggest hits. It turns out, they really are just that good. As soon as the guitars kick in, you can't help but smile. The rhythm section is the probably the best of any rock band ever. The energy on these songs is so infectious - it really feels like everybody involved was having a blast. And even though all their songs are basically the same, somehow it never gets old. With some albums on this list, I listen and then spend time deliberating over whether it deserves 4 stars or 5. I think this is my first 5 star album in a while, and it's made me realise that when I'm on the fence, the answer should always be 4. Because when you know, you know. Rock on

Much better tolerating the vocals then I expected! Good music for vacation Beating around the bush Got it hot

3.75 There are some elements that I really like here but somehow I can't see myself listening to this too much, I feel saturated after a few songs (Night Prowler is quite nice though). It would probably sound better to my ears with cruder production and audio quality lol.

Classic

Just solid rock. Perfectly is what it's supposed to be.

A classic. Anybody will like this rock style.

Every once in a while this is really on point and solid to listen to. The problem is classic rock radio has worn out these songs so much it losses all of its impact. The guitar is so distinct and punchy, the vocals are top shelf and the composition is just appropriate and perfect for what they're trying to convey.

i expected to dislike it, the title track is so overplayed, and I'm usually not big on the cheesy hard rock with questionable horny lyrics. I'll be the first to admit, though - some of the tracks are kinda fun if you don't take them seriously. still, don't think I will ever go back to this.

It is a classic but don't feel like listening to the entirety of it ever again

Super fun, never heard any of the tracks besides the title. I had a great time working out to this.

Album #500!!! Halfway complete! AC/DC has a signature sound that is hard not to love. The album is a bit uneven, with the hits being great but the rest of the album being a bit of a slog. But while it ebbs a bit, it's still a pretty good listen. Night Prowler is pretty creepy and is the low point of the album IMO. Fav song: If You Want Blood (You've Got It)

I'm going for this over BIB as the ultimate AC/DC album. Monster singles, quality throughout and I think Bon gives them an edge that Brian, thoroughly nice chap, doesn't have. Also the last album where there's a trace of the blues roll of their early years.

6/10/ Sure why not lol

Wow. I also have watched the 2003 comedy "School of Rock" and have played the popular video game "Guitar Hero"! I can imagine hearing this at the time and thinking it was game changing, but now it's a big cliché. The title track is cool, there's some other cool riffs but it never heats up for me beyond that. I'll stick with the hits. 4/10 (2/5)

Some big hits but sounds too much the same.

Good, but not up to the standards of back in black

Not for me, but i will maybe play it one more time

The songs all sound the same, but hey it works. Normally that kind of thing would get boring but I'm not even mad. The guitar and vocals are sick

Bon Scott was one hell of a front man. I still stand by AC/DC being a guilty pleasure, and I especially enjoy their early stuff.

Not the biggest AC/DC fan this was fine though

Hell ya. This is it. Classic Aussie Rock

10

Got this on a Friday, and you just can’t be mad about AC/DC on a Friday.

Well, it sounds like AC/DC alright. Ten big dumb slabs of ‘classic rock’, some of which are fun and irresistibly sing-along-able, and some of which are neither but somehow sound like the ones that are anyway. Definitely not as many bangers as Back In Black.

I respect ACDC but not really my jam

I only got into AC/DC late in life. Without having studied their music, I found them to be a kind of cheap hard rock. I always thought a few songs were great, but overall I didn't understand the euphoria about the band and their music. Now I've listened to one of their albums in its entirety. And I really enjoyed it. The sound is great, a great soundtrack to a road movie. I'll definitely listen to it more often. 5/5

I feel like AC/DC figured out how to write one song well, so they did it over and over again changing almost nothing. By the end of this album I was definitely ready for something different but do have to give them credit for defining the sound that is undeniably theirs.

I had this before joining the group and my thoughts remain the same now, so I’ll just copy and paste them below: I don’t always listen to generic hard rock, but when I do, I want to listen to the legends of generic hard rock Editing this because I wanted to add some more thoughts. I feel like I have done a disservice to some bands by only knowing their greatest hits. The best example of this is David Bowie for me. Going into this project I only knew Ziggy Stardust and his greatest hits, but I did a deep dive into his back catalogue after listening to Blackstar and he's now one of my favourite artists with Blackstar being my favourite album from the project thus far. I can't believe the music I had missed out on! However, I don't feel the same about AC/DC. They're a perfect candidate for a greatest hits album. All the tracks sound pretty similar, so just give me the best of the best; you're really not missing much by only listening to the greatest hits. Favourite tracks: Highway to Hell, Beating Around the Bush, Night Prowler

It’s fine. Not a lot of hits. I knew what I was in for. Went exactly as expected.

It's a rock classic, obviously. It encapsulates very well the AC/DC sound, and it's very consistent with it. The tracks are pretty high energy, good instrumentation and pretty compact and well written. The topics are varied and pretty light, very on par for the genre without getting too deep. Scott's singing is very distinctive and intense, the delivery is good although at times his tone can be a bit much. My favourite song was probably "Highway to Hell", it's just a classic and it remains as good as ever. Overall, the album is pretty cohesive and works well, it doesn't outlive its welcome but instead just powers through for the whole lenght.

came in expecting to be a hater but i quite enjoyed it

Top shelf stuff

It's AC/DC. What more do I have to say. ⭐⭐⭐1/2

Good, but not my favorite AC/DC

You know how sometimes you hear a great song and think, wow, I sure hope the rest of the album is just like this! but it's usually not, because the band wants to explore styles or have a bit of variety. Not so with Highway to Hell - AC/DC knows what they're about and that's exactly what they're serving up for 41 minutes straight!

Look, they have like 2, super maybe 3, different songs. The most common is really good. The other on is really bad. But the ratio of good to bad is like 10:1. Two duds on this album (the last 2). But the really good aren't great, so in the end, it's a 3.

Listening to AC/DC always makes me feel like its 1984 and I'm 20 years old partying at my friend's parents' lake house. And I love that for me.

AC/DC is good at writing one type of song. This album is 10 versions of that song. They’re all well produced, but they feel very repetitive after a while.

It was okay but i've listened to it a lot of times before so it's not new.

Rude, raw, brash, in-your-face in the best way possible! Even a little on the nose at times - but so, so cool. I love their classic rock sound. 87/100 --> 90/100.

What a fantastic album. It's one of the best of the list. I mean, you just have to listen to the opening title track, no, you just have to listen to the intro of the opening track. How great can music be? It's the added value of Mutt Lange's production that gives this album so much more than its predecessors. Most characteristic are the backing vocals choirs. Those are magnificent. And this album has one of the greatest songs ever: 'Touch too much'. It hardly has any flaws, every track is enjoyable. Can I give 6 stars? 10/10

Hmm

AC/DC’s 1979 release neatly summarizes the metal of the ‘70s and paves the way for the metal of the ‘80s.

Rock and roll!! Awesome sound here

This is an era of music that I just can't connect with unless I'm in a very specific situation and unfortunately when listening to it I was not at a live sporting event.

Stone cold classic

The perfect rock album. Ever.

Touch too much makes this the perfect album by the rock by numbers masters.

Hard rock with commercial oomph.

A classic

Good record, even though I only know of one song. Still, a good one.

Energypilled. Previously listened to 4 songs off of This album (Highway to Hell; Girls Got Rhythm; Touch Too Much; Night Prowler) AC/DC has got to be the only band that can sing the same song in different variants without boring me. This rocked. Favorite Song: Night Prowler

Что тут сказать?

Die Songs sind sich schon sehr ähnlich. Aber es war nicht schlimm.

5/5

2.5 stars Consistent at what it is. If you’re in the mood for straight ahead hard rock you can do much worse. But it gets lost in the sameness and the formula gets old without providing much more.

There's a lot to like here with the overall sound, but it comes off a bit repetitive to me.

I think my hottest music take is that I think AC/DC is probably the most overrated rock band ever. Let me be clear: I don’t hate them. I like some of their songs and they can be very catchy at their best. But they are repetitive as hell. Every song consist of some verses and a chorus that consists of repeating the title over and over again. And the songs will always be about rocking, fucking, and rocking while fucking. And every dad loves it and every granddad loves it and every classic rock station will play AC/DC a hundred times a day. It’s tiring. I give AC/DC this though; this is one of their best albums and it is the swan song of Bon Scott before his death. But I mainly mean that about Side A and Love Hungry Man on Side B. Those are songs that have the best energy and kick the most ass, which it was the band strives for. The other songs are the typical AC/DC stuff: repetitive and samey. Like I said, I don’t despise AC/DC. It’s just not for me and I’d rather listen to a majority of other rock bands from the seventies. But this is an iconic album for most people and it is worthy of at least a listen, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Or not. I’m just some rando on the internet. Don’t take me too seriously please. Favorite track: Highway to Hell (it’s catchy) Other hits: Girls Got Rhythm, Touch Too Much, Walk All Over You, Beat Around the Bush, Love Hungry Man

Great album

Cool

If your life depended on rocking and rocking hard for 3.5 minutes I'd hit you with some AC/DC. They get right to the essence of rocking. That's about all they do though. A one a tool player that fucking crushes that one tool. Feel like this is a 3 but giving an honorary 4 because I'm not sure how much AC/DC we'll get. I'm a Bon Scott guy and frequently listen to "Jailbreak" and for some reason his cadence at the beginning of the song make me laugh every time.

I’m not sure why I love AC/DC but hate Van Halen. Both bands play simple three chord lighthearted hard rock about the joys of being a dickhead, but with AC/DC I find this ethos completely charming and even life-affirming, but w Van Halen find it repugnant and depressing. Maybe it’s the subtle difference between being cheeky (bon scott) and cheesy (Roth). That, and Angus Young just fucking rocks, where VH always feels like he’s trying to impress you. Every song is basically the same thing but who cares? There are few bands in history better to drive a car too than AC/DC

One of the first albums my parents let my brothers and I buy was AC/DC Live -- a compilation of their live hits. We had those songs in our iTunes library forever. One of the funniest things I remember was that the song titles were not automatically scraped from the CD, so we had to name the tracks ourselves. In order to protect ourselves from the profanity, we named Highway to Hell "highway to..." 😂 Us good catholic boys doing our best to let Satan only have a small slice of our lives Theres a lot to love about this album, but I'll go right ahead and say it that its not ACDC's best - Back In Black is far superior. Highway To Hell, Touch Too Much, If you want blood, love hungry man and night prowler are great power tunes. The stories in the wikipedia were really fun to read. I didn't know that a third Young brother (George) was involved as the original producer for the band and was practically kicked out by the record company. Sounds like producer Mutt really brought the band to new heights though.

Liked this way more than I expected. Not a huge fan of Brian Johnson’s voice - coupled with the sing-along-shouty choruses, always sounded kind of gimmicky. But then I this listen through I realized The Japandroids follow pretty much this exact formula and I’ve always loved their stuff. In both of these bands, every guitar riff is so simple and in your face. That early Japandroids album is called “Celebration Rock” which I think is a nice name for the genre AC/DC forged here - songs that make you want to slam some beers and stay out at the late night bars shouting rock and roll songs. Tell the babysitter it’s going to be a late night.

Some iconic anthems... mixed with some tolerable tracks. But still AC/DC deserves there flowers, nonetheless.

So very repetitive

AC/DC just aren’t for me

Eh I did not enjoy

Not something I normally gravitate to, but it does what it sets out to do well.

Quintessential hard rock. Every song is a banger. Makes you wanna drive drunk.

Easy 5 stars

It does what it does well. But it was too much of the same for me. 'Girls Got Rhythm' was the favourite.

not a fan

I am the panopticon of music your dad enjoys. No take escapes me. The wheel remains unchanged, but I'm not convinced there’s anything wrong with that. It rips without any major hiccups. 7.7/10 Favorite Song: Walk All Over You

6/10 It’s a solid album. I like AC/DC alright never been too too into them. This is a fine album with obviously a generational banger. Not much beyond that for me though

Not really my thing. There is a time and place for some of AC/DC's biggest singles, Highway To Hell being one of them, though I've never been enticed to listen to an album of theirs. Having done so, I'm even less inclined. Feels harsh to rate it one star, but I can't find much to enjoy in this. Best Tracks: - Highway To Hell Worst Tracks: - Girls Got Rhythm - Walk All Over You Rating: 2/10

A classic

Quite a bit better than I expected and actually really enjoyed it. 4 stars

This was awesome. Great rock album.

Is there anything of intellectual value on this album? Of course not. But if you want that, go listen to jethro tull or something. AC/DC’s simplistic style of rock n’ roll works wonders and establishes this album as a classic. Bon Scott gives a tremendous performance, his last before he would go down his own highway to hell less than a year later. Night Prowler kicks ass. If I was a serial killer (Richard Ramirez) it would be my favorite song too. Also the title track is an all time classic. The eight songs between them ain’t too bad either. Beating around the bush has a great guitar riff, as does if you want blood you got it. A lot of the songs sound alike, but that’s kinda the point. The world has enough music that takes itself seriously. We need more music for delinquents.

🤘🏼

Its AC/DC so everything sounds the same, good or bad at least you know what your getting. This has always been a fun album.

"Hold on, hold on, Bon, you know in Shot Down in Flames you start by singing "Out on the town - lookin' for a woman"" "Yeah, what are you getting at?" "Wel,l in the next song on the album, Get it Hot, the first line is "Goin' out on the town - just a me and you." "That's right." "Well maybe people will think we're a one trick pony if we're just yapping on about going out on the town over some head bopping blues rock riffs." "Nah mate, in the first one I don't have a woman YET, but in the other one I've already got the woman, so it's completely different." "Whatever, roll the tape..."

Awful

Listening to this was like watching a toddler play with a toy steering wheel; they’re convinced they’re driving, but you’re just parked in the driveway. Or the review that compared this to Saltines. Slightly salty, widely available, and dry as hell. Or maybe plain tofu and white rice, unseasoned, and cooked in a microwave. Shlock Rock™. The riffs are plain and chunky, the vocals are nasal, and every song is basically a remix of the previous one with a new punchline. I get why this sells beer and fills stadiums, but it’s also the reason ̷d̷a̷d̷s̷ grandpa's everywhere think they’re music experts. Put it in the Smithsonian next to the Crocs display, please.

Ok. Great title track single, rest of it I can take or leave as I can with most of their output.
