Highway to Hell

Another personal classic, which has been on my plate from early pre-teens and never left. Most of the Bon Scott era, plus Back In Black, is what I've always prefered to listen from Acca Dacca, nothing's changed. This is a really good rock 'n roll album, not their best but close enough.

I'm pretty sure I must've heard this album before because my dad is a fan. Meh? It's not the most terrible thing I've ever heard but their signature sound makes all the songs sound the same basically. And I just don't like AC/DC in general. 2/5

A classic, really, but still an amazing album. I dont have anything else to say really

AC/DC is kind of stupid, but kind of cleverly so. Four to the floor and riffs and licks that all sound vaguely the same - and are immediately identifiable as AC/DC. Oh, and they're making sure to hammer home the chorus. Again. And again. Touch too much (which I'm assuming is about premature ejaculation) being the one that really stuck with me here - half the song was just that phrase repeated. I've turned off other stupid rock shite and given 1 star for it, but somehow I never felt like turning this off, although I'll never listen to this whole album ever again. Because... Why would I? Still... Better than KISS by several light years.

Feels like I'm listening to the same song over and over again.

Highway To Hell: 10/10, classic, ultimate road trip song Girls Got Rhythm: 7/10, fun to vibe to, lyrics are alright Walk All Over You: 6/10, song topic is the same as the last and it's already getting kinda repetitive Touch Too Much: 5/10, when are they gonna sing another song that ISN'T about sex?! However, I quite liked the guitar solo Beating Around The Bush: 7/10, yay a song that isn't about sex! I liked it, fun to dance to Shot Down In Flames: 4/10, boo hoo you got rejected idc Get It Hot: 3/10, if ur gonna sing about sex all the time at least make the lyrics good If You Want Blood (You Got It): 7/10, not about sex, I actually somewhat enjoyed the message behind the song Love Hungry Man: 2/10, sex. Night Prowler: 6.5/10, a decent horror-themed song Overall album rating: 5.75/10

Classic hard rock album that you can't really go wrong with. Only thing stopping me from giving it a 5 is a few of the songs towards the back end that I didn't enjoy for whatever reason. Maybe they just weren't as good, or I began to get tired of the album A high 4

Absolute banger from top to bottom featuring Bonn Scott in one of his last albums before he died

Banger but can't do the voice for too long...

A classic.

Right from the beginning you could tell this was an AC/DC album, not only from the first track, which it's probably their most famous song, but because throughout the album the songs have that AC/DC sound. I don't typically listen to rock but this is the kind of rock that I find enjoyable.

Some of the best hard rock in history, but also some pretty forgettable by-the-numbers stuff too. Overall though fun, catchy album. Contentious perhaps, but overall I personally prefer the albums Blow Up Your Video and The Razor’s Edge, as they were the ones I first heard back when I was a teenager in the late 80s / early 90s.

Solid classic rock album but just too damn overplayed.

Awesome album, every song is great.

Not their best album by any means but still good enough for 4 stars or B.

[5/10] Yeah it’s ac/dc alright. So ubiquitous at this point that it does about as much for me as staring at a charcoal grill. I’m sure it was revolutionary for everyone’s dad when it came out though.

*No music, just noise and screaming.

5.5

I like the idea of ACDC a lot more than I like ACDC. I think it's the workman-like plodding of the standard ACDC song. They're all at very close the same tempo and that tempos never really connected with me. Bum, pop, dutiful driving without any real propulsion, I just get bored when it's not a solo (Bon Scott's perfect rock vocals notwithstanding). That said, when Young does do a solo, my interest increases exponentially, and the songs that run at a tighter clip are far more infectious (I wish there were more songs played at Beating Around The Bush's clip)

Absolute banger

I don't think I can, in good conscience, give any AC/DC album more than 3 stars, even though no one has done what they do better than them.

As always, I like loud, dumb, riffy rock albums like this. But something tells me AC/DC has something even better than this up their sleeve....

very one-note but it's a pretty good note

sounds like ACDC to me

Not a big fan of this band. Production is good though. Same old heavy riffs and pentatonic blues scales. Yawn

One of the greats of classic rock and roll. The songs are great and kicksss but they aren’t necessarily their best. It’s impossible to not know what song you are listening to because they love to repeat the title over and over again. Back in black is their best album over even though I feel like bon Scott was a better front man.

Yes to this!!!! Best way to walk in to work way too early. A Rosie album :)

This may be the brochure for sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The presentation may be fine, but most of this is tiresome and uninteresting.

About as straightforward as it gets. The same song over and over again, but that song is very very good.

fine for what it is, but not something i’d listen to in my free time

This is not as good as Back in Black, though there aren't many hard rock albums that are as good as Back in Black. I always thought the association of Night Prowler with Richard Ramirez, as if AC/DC had anything to do with his crimes by inspiring him, was tenuous. Not sure if psychopaths need inspiration and attributing music that is otherwise normal to a serial killer's intentions seems like a foolhardy task. Highway to Hell Girls Got Rhythm Touch Too Much Shot Down in Flames If You Want Blood (You've Got It) Night Prowler 6 great songs on this album and it's the peak of the Bon Scott era with the band. I recognize this is presumptuous, but I would bet this album would have been the peak of the Bon Scott era no matter whether he lived to make more albums or not. There is a certain bluesy feel to this album that is welcome but the Brian Johnson era of AC/DC felt like an invigoration for a band whose music all can sound similar. Not a perfect album but a great listen for those who want to know what pre-Brian Johnson AC/DC sounded like.

I enjoyed this, in spite of myself (particularly Night Prowler). I'm not sure I'd make an effort to listen to their other albums, esp post Bon Scott and some of the lyrics were almost repulsively horny. But! I liked seeing where other acts like Amyl and the Sniffers and the guys on tikok who did the 'I'm on smoko, so leave me alone!' video had been influenced by their pub rock forefathers

It’s like so, so many hard rock albums of its fame and its time. Forty minutes of similar guitar power chords and stressed vocals. AC/DC are one of a few bands (perhaps the most famous) that released these albums, and I can’t fault it. It does what it set out to do, and clearly to great effect. Absolutely everyone knows Highway to Hell, or at least its title track. There’s some surprising grooves in Beating Around the Bush and Night Prowler, and what should have been the stratospheric track from this album, Touch Too Much. So as far as 70s/80s hard rock goes, this gets a pass.

Pretty much the same as the last AC/DC we got - hard to dislike its exuberance, but gets a bit samey after a while. I prefer Bon Scott's vocals in this over Brian Johnson's. High three (but marginally higher than Back In Black)

A classic album, maybe a bit monotonous, but still a classic.

Didn't need to listen because I have listened to this more times than I can count. Great record!!

classic but one hit

horny, masculine, can't help but respect it

Back in '79, half of my chums were really unto AC-DC, Motorhead, etc. Lemmy and co...OK, but AC-DC just left me cold. So, appreciate the prompt to head off and see whether I was misguided. Alas... I see the attraction, but it just does very little for me personally. Seems very calculated and crowd-pleasing to me, rather than a labour of love. I doubt I'll relisten to it.

They have a sound but it’s a GOOD sound. Killer riffs, great hard rock vocals, and just fun bar rock

My parents listened to a lot of classic rock when I was a kid, and that trend rubbed off on me quite a bit. For a while, I stuck with things that they had played a lot: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top, and a handful of others. As I got to be an older teenager though, I started branching out into some other artists that they never really listened to, and one of those artists was AC/DC. I bought their live album when I was maybe a senior in high school, and I listened to it constantly. As much as I loved that album, I’ve never listened to one of AC/DC’s studio albums in full, but I’m glad that the day has arrived for me to break that trend! This was fun to listen to, and I’d say it was fine overall. The title track is an absolute masterpiece, and honestly, that song alone may have landed this album on the list, and if that’s truly the case, I can understand that. The guitar riff on that song is one of the few classic rock guitar riffs that I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of. It’s simple, but man, it’s catchy. And when the drumming kicks in? I can’t help but nod along and attempt some really terrible air guitar playing. As someone who grew up in an evangelical household, “Highway to Hell” and AC/DC were so off-limits that no one ever had to say they were off-limits; it was just understood that listening to a song called “Highway to Hell” would surely summon Satan himself. Somehow though, this song still carries a bit of that mystique and forbidden fruit quality with me; it always feels like it’s something I shouldn’t be listening to, and of course that makes it all the more enjoyable. “If You Want Blood,” is easily my second favorite song on the album. The guitar riff is just as simple as the title track, and so is the drumming, but Bon Scott’s vocals really carry this song and make it great. The backing vocals are fantastic too, making this song incredibly fun, and one of the most underrated songs in the band’s catalog. “Love Hungry Man” was good too, and lyrically, it reminds me of the brilliance of “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” The bass playing on this song was easily my favorite on the album as well, and it gave the song a great groove that complimented the lead guitar really well. As for the rest of the album… well, it’s AC/DC. If you came here for a varied sound, you came to the wrong place. But if you came here for some hard rock that you can turn your brain off while you listen to, then you’ll go home happy. As for me? Aside from the three songs I dove into, the rest of the album was fine, but nothing else really grabbed me. A good portion of this album left my brain as soon as it left my ears, but while I was listening to it, it was fine. I hope I get to review Back in Black soon!

выскажу две очевидных мысли: 1) первый вокалист намного лучше, он хотя бы визжит не сильно жеско 2) песни хорошие у ац.дц, но блять даже в 2020 году альбом звучит точно так же )

Meh 2.5/5

C’mon, it’s a classic. Ya all AC/DC sounds the same. That’s the glory of it isn’t it?

Средне

4 stars

good album

Another one I just really did not like. This is my second AC/DC album I got since I started this, the other one was Back In Black. Both of them have been 1/5 for me. But I've been told their early stuff is better so I'll give that a shot too. So my actual problem with AC/DC is that it feels like they write songs about being jerks to women solely to try to impress other dudes and I like music that is about being jerks to women to impress no one. Like the day before this I got Magazine, another misogynist band, and that band is cool because at least Howard Devoto doesn't write about it that would impress middle school boys. He almost talks about love in a way that a homeless man on the bus would give me an anecdote without me asking him. So that's why Magazine rules and AC/DC sucks. That and every AC/DC song sounds exactly the same to me. I don't like AC/DC.

Pure unadulterated rock god bliss.

Amazing

Not interesting.

Take me there

Drank a martini while I listened to this album. I don't really think it's a martini album, but I was in the mood for a vodka drink and a dry martini sounded really good. It wasn't wholly incompatible, ice cold and cutting. It just struck me as a little weird to be sipping a martini while Highway to Hell blasted on my headphones. Anyway, I think it's a 3.

You can't spell "heavy metal head bangers" with AC/DC!

Good rock that also sort of feels like it has rocks in its head. It's very fun, but lacks a certain depth that would help me get even more into it.

3.5

Timeless

2.5

Nothing really stood out to me other than the vocals, the pure pomposity of rock-and-roll, the catchy tunes, and the guitar.

Fun, rocking album. Its nice to have something upbeat with some excellent guitar rifts. I would listen again, but the singer's voice gets a little samey after awhile.

Title track is an absolute classic and obviously great. Touch Too Much is damn good. That's about it for this album, but I wouldn't say everything else is *terrible* either.

For whatever reason, I love the song “Highway to Hell”. I enjoyed the rest of the album just fine. I like to listen to a record like this once in a while, but not often. It’s a very solid three stars for me.

The last album before Scott's death. After that, AC/DC took a plunge. There's some really good songs on this album. The final track is very underrated. I also liked the title track as well. 4 stars for "Highway to Hell".

Another dad rock staple but as an album not super interesting. They'll likely always be a greatest hits band for me. Opening track is a classic. I like the riffing on beating around the bush. That's about it. Another greatest hits staple band but album snoozer

I grew up in the country, where driving on back roads and pounding beers while you do it (road loading!) is the main pass time. Lots of the best times of my life fall under that description, and AC/DC soundtracked them. IYKYK.

bangers to be fair

produced by mutt lange, so every song is a fiddle away from shania or a synthesizer away from loverboy. at least they sang about relatable things like being a woman or working for the weekend.

AC/DC is not known for there deep cuts, and they shouldn’t be.

Best recorded guitar sound in rock history. Holy hell!

Straight good old rock and roll. An absolute banger.

This was so good I listened to it twice. Five stars.

Was expecting to hate this but it wasn't bad!!

I am not a hard rock enthusiast but I make an exception with AC/DC. Good songs with moderate screaming.

More three star ROCK.

Echt super nice

A younger me would hate me saying this but, Highway to hell is the best song on this album and the rest is pretty meh

Hyped up riff frenzy Screeched and wailed at high volume Rock n roll attack

It's all right.

Good album that starts off very strong, but gets boring as you go through

Probably closest to 3.5 stars but really enjoyable. Super unique sound which is cool even though it demolished the lead singer’s voice

This was great. If I didn't know better I would have thought I was at a keg party circa 1982. Really fun listen

Pure rock and roll babyyyyy

It was alright.

10/10. It's AC bloody DC!!! This album is one of the most important hard rock albums of all time! It is repetitive, but that doesn't matter, since it slaps so bloody hard! Hell, yeah! :)

that's super tasteless bullshit

solid. better choice could be picked though. could i write poetry to this? n

AC/DC does deserve two spots on this list. One for the Bon Scott era and one for Brian Johnson. Both are terrific Hard Rock singers. Unfortunately, this is far from my favorite of the Bon Scott-fronted albums. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" is a much better example of what they were capable of.

Once you realize that the bugs are actually features, AC/DC clicks.

I was a young Record Store Manager When this LP came out and we hosted an In-Store appearance by the band before their concert that evening! They were just a bunch of rowdy kids having a great time! What fun! I’ve got photos and autographs to prove it! This is a great Rock n Roll record!

Banger!

yeahhh i dont like this

Why not, some good songs that understandably became legendary, a signature guitare sound, but nothing that amazed me, especially the fact that it was released in 79. I was expecting more experimental or at least fresh and modern.

I know a lot of AC/DC songs sound the same but, honestly, this still slaps.

This is hard rock at its best. The production is sharp, letting each instrument stand out on its own while still creating a cohesive sound. It has a raw, stripped-down feel that captures pure rock energy and keeps the album sounding fresh and powerful.

Solid album that was easy to listen to with some big hits. AC/DC has never been my cup of tea but this almost got a 4 out of me. 3.5.

It’s not as definitive as Back in Black but it still scratches that hard rock - heavy metal itch. It’s weird to me how similar the voices of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson are. It’s also weird to me how the ascendency of AC/DC into the pop culture zeitgeist seemed to be not affected in the least by the death of their front man, last heard on this record.

Favorittbandet mitt fra 2003 jo

Ton of fun. Not much else to say. It's a classic for a reason. 4/5

The album flows really well. Every song is typical AC/DC and it's a fun ride. Night Prowler is a fun end to the album being a slower, bluesy song.

The kings of simplicity. I loved this album as a kid and it’s still great after some time away. The title track might be the best rock and roll song of all time. RIP Bon

A lot of songs sound similar but I have a soft spot for AC/DC so

Classic Hard Rock. I like it

classic dad rock, no complaints

Glad that’s both the AC/DC albums out of the way now. To be honest I did prefer this slightly to Back in Black, probably because Brian Johnson’s vocals just sound like a bad impersonation of Bon Scott. I also thought Walk All Over You was a pretty good track.

It would be nice to hear different songs

Genuinely one of my least favorite listening experiences ever. Back In Black I went into knowing I'd dislike because every hit there is the bane of my existence, but I had some small hope that the deep cuts here would be better in some way, shape, or form. But, nope! In fact, every single song here is arguably the exact same track as the last, and when it finally bothers to change it up on the final track, it may be different, but it's still bad. Seriously, you guys critique the hip hop albums for their objectification of women and their repetitive lyrics, but at least they don't have Angus Young producing the most mediocre guitar riff on top of that. I just fail to see how anyone cares for this band. You want high octane energy? Go five over the speed limit, you'll get about the same high.

Not my favorite album but still AC/DC. My guilty pleasure band LOL

Sucks

One of the all time greats

🤟

1. 10/10 classic for a reason, no notes 2. 5/10 good, repetitive and recognizable riffs throughout 3. 10/10 love this never heard it before 4. 9/10 like it a lot 5. 6/10 little chaotic for me, cool time signature and riffs 6. 5/10 repetitive, didn’t grab my attention 7. 8/10 made me want to play guitar hero real bad 8. 4/10 never a big fan of a bunch of people singing like a chorus on a rock record 9. 4/10 didn’t leave an impression 10. 6/10 I like the slow pace and the lyrics overall really nice album, made me feel like dewey finn from school of rock

Good but not awesome. More like a 3.5

6/10. A classic song and classic band. I kind of get it but overall not really my thing.

I’ve always said all AC/DC songs sound the same and listening to this album supports that theory. They are fun to listen to but nothing innovative. You know exactly what you are getting when you listen to this album. 3

Classic

3.4 1x

AC/DC are one of my favorite bands. Especially the Bon era. Bon Scott is one of my favourite singers. I would probably say Let There Be Rock is my favourite AC/DC album but this album still smokes. Great songs and they had their sound and formula down pat by this point. Bon Scott ended on a high note. Rest in Peace.

Rockin'.

'I'm afraid your just too darn loud'

Hmmm. Who are these young upstarts? Can’t say I’ve ever experienced something like this. Well. Here’s to new expeditions in music. Nah I’ve obviously heard every AC/DC song as I’ve heard all power chords in any order. Highway to hell is a good song. However, when it’s not being followed by the sultry tones of the Q104 morning drive crew discussing a viral video of a dog farting, there is definitely a longing in my soul. I don’t know what “backseat rhythm” is, but I don’t like it. This song is fine. Kind of grating actually. Walk all over you is too long. That first slow chorus hit pretty hard but the tenth time had me longing for a weather update from Beefer and the Shit on my drive home brought to you by Dude Wipes. This song has an excellent chorus. Very same sounding to all other AC/DC tracks but they found a decent formula and executed well here. Good chorus. A little glam, but a lot of fun. This one has a lot more drive. The sound is dated, but with fresh ears, this one would rip. And it does. Holy hell this is good. I have not only spring a bald spot, but a Harley Davidson muscle shirt has emerged from my skin. I have alerted a local physician. It’s the worst case of white boomer dad-itis he’s ever seen. I’m a sick man. This song was just there. Floated by. I do want blood. This is another monster. Man. I’m liking this and hating that I do. I’m trying to be cool and edgy but I simply will not escape the basic white man allegations. Lock me away, senator. Not an AC/DC ballad. Nooooo. Ok. False alarm. This one isn’t fantastic. Actually, when he says “you’re such a treat, a man’s got to eat,” that probably removed an entire star from the album. Single-handedly. I’m sure Angus Young is turning over in his pile of money having heard my scathing review of the lyrics he didn’t write. Night prowler. Decent, a little listless to end but YOURE LISTENING TO T109.7 THE TESTICLE *pant zip * AND WEVE GOT NOTHING BUT CLASSIC ROCK ALL GOD DAMN DAY *church bell.* AND IF YOU CANT HANDLE THAT, WELL MAYBE YOU AINT GOT NO BALLS *wolf whistle*. AND NOW HERES CHODE AND THE MOOSE MAN. Whether or not these songs come before traffic and weather on the ones, it’s a whole lot of fun. A good album that has a high energy and if it hit my ears in 1979, it probably would’ve knocked me on my ass. Misses out on a little substance and a cohesive album feel, but as a song by song experience, Highway to Hell is a hell of a ride. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Highway to Hell, Touch Too Much, Beating around the Bush, Shot Down in Flames, If You Want Blood (You Got It)

- Neben Back in Black gibt es für mich nur noch ein anderes richtig geiles Album von AC/DC, und das ist High Voltage. Die Highway To Hell Platte gehört leider nicht dazu. - Ich finds immer noch ein ganz okayes Album, was auch Laune macht, aber mehr auch nicht - Highway To Hell ist und bleibt einer der geilsten Rocksongs aller Zeiten, bockt einfach - Der runtergebrochene Refrain von "Walk All Over You" ist auch echt cool - Der Basslauf bei Love Hungry Man ist geil funky und bringt nochmal eine andere Note rein - Sonst ist es halt einfach viel AC/DC Formel. Drei Akkorde, treibendes 4/4 Schlagzeug, schreiender Bon Scott. Ist natürlich immer mal cool, aber wird auf Dauer ohne die großen Hits oder etwas Abwechslung dann doch etwas ermüdend. Rating: 3,25/5

- Ja es ist AC/DC, ja die sind einfach ein absoluter Klassiker, riesig und beliebt - Aber für mich ist es weder eine 5/5, noch eine 4/5 - Leider klingen für mich, bis auf einige Hits, einfach viele Songs viel zu ähnlich und ich bin einfach weiterhin kein Fan der Stimmlage

7.5/10 My second AC/DC album, and it turns out I quite like them, unexpectedly I can see how they are so huge - big, crowd pleasing hard rock and metal. Big guitars, big bass, dramatic vocals I didn’t concentrate on the lyrics much, but I suspect that’s not the point The stuff that was more bluesy was less up my street Best: Highway to Hell

I don't feel much depth but haha I mean its AC/DC so maybe all anyone needed was something to underscore a bender. Definitely feels like 'pure' rock and roll of the era. I just keep thinking about alcohol analogies. 2.5

omg i was so fucking bored aaAAUIaaUOIU

AC/DC found some kind of chemical reaction that makes every one of their songs feel as if it was injected with a double shot of electricity and rode with it for years. Their song's aren't all that original, but damn they are catchy and great on this record. Highway to Hell, Girl's got Rhythm, and Shot Down in Flames were my favorites.

Imma be honest, I never actually knew that AC/DC changed vocalists before Back In Black. I just assumed the guy’s voice changed a little. This album is like a loaf of white bread. The first slice is pretty good, and every slice after that is more of the same. It’s good enough, but I don’t need to eat the whole loaf.

Highway to Hell. It's good, classic rock. Enjoy it.

Only 4 in their catalogue. Back in Black is a 5. Everything else is 3 and below, with choice cuts.

Escuchar un álbum entero de AC/DC del tirón debe ser de las cosas más duras de hacer en el mundo de la música. Si nos manejamos en un espectro del 1 al 10 en INTENSIDAD SONORA, su tema más suave es un 7 de intensidad y su tema más fuerte no llega al 10... maneja un espectro sonoro que llega a ser molesto si se escucha por más de 10 minutos. No es un 1 porque la elección vocal, los riffs de guitarra están muy bien, y durante 10 minutos es hasta divertido

Loved the title track and then everything sounded the same

Bon Scott forever <3

It's funny how low-key the title track is. The album opens with it and it has a very nondescript ending that just flows straight into track 2. No pomp and circumstance for what would be a legendary track. No real bangers but a solid album that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Grew stale in the second half though. Fav Track: Beating Around The Bush

Simple rock and roll and they do sound the same in all their songs. But what they do, they do it well and sometimes it’s what you need.

Kelpo rockia

En oo fani, mut ihan ok laadukas levy

Some fun riffs but it's the same shit for 42 minutes Highlights: Highway to Hell

reminds me of my old roommate who was obsessed with ac/dc objectively they are talented but subjectively this genre sucks and so did my roommate

For some reason, I don't think I knew AC/DC was an Australian band. Likely the biggest one to exist by the time this album came out. It all sounds good. It all sounds like you'd imagine the rest of the album sounds from only knowing the title track. Classic rock n' roll. 3.5/5

Full of bangers. First time I’ve listened to it front to back. Seeing as it was made in the 70s some of the 4 on the floor parts did give me an impression slightly of the one of the other genres in the decade ‘Disco’. This album make you want to rock out though. Head nodder.

Is AC/DC THE quintessential cock rock? Maybe? Ironically, once Brian Johnson stepped in for Bon Scott, it feels like we started getting less cock, more rock. Though now I wonder if this hadn’t already begun by Highway to Hell, which is mostly great up until it closes with Night Prowler. On its own, the concept of lurking around in the darkness isn’t necessarily bad. Ninjas, Owls, Batman, and the Northrop B-2 Spirit are all generally beloved. These are not the night prowling vibes which AC/DC embraces on this closing track. But maybe the willingness here to fully embrace and explore some of humanities more problematic corners is, in fact, a good thing. Even if it may not appeal to my own personal tastes. I was gonna give this five, then Night Prowler made me think four. Now I’m seeing an opposite argument for it to justify the five. But ultimately, this is just my opinion, and personally, Night Prowler lost me at the end, so four.

i hated it

Hard rock still not my go to genre of music. This album similar to many other hard rock albums with themes that resonate with young males. I was one of those, a long time ago... This album starts and ends strong (Highway to Hell and Night Prowler) but the rest is mostly the same. Still worth a 3 for the start and end...

Starts super strong, one of the best rock songs of all time honestly, and the first couple tracks after that are good too. But eventually there’s just too little variety, it all starts to sound the same and mush together.

It’s enjoyable. Highway to hell is a classic. But I can’t lie, all the songs are very similar. Which isn’t always a bad thing. But it did get a bit monotonous.

Really good!

it feels like eating at a mcdonald's, plain for me

This rules. Everything you think ACDC sounds like is in here. A powerful voice, combined with absolutely shredding instrumentals. 10/10.

Every song is a thinly veiled metaphor of “I’m having hot sex with this hot chick” but man they rock so hard they can get away with it in the 70’s. I wonder how much satanic panic this stirred up back then?

Never seen so much filler in an album Bon Scott died on this shit

I know, I know. It's a classic. But it's really just three different songs in a trenchcoat. I like them but not for a while album.

Ughhhh..... not a fan of this band. I only know the title track here so we'll see. Yeah, no. Terrible. Not for me at all.

Knew the title track but then if you know one AC/DC song you know them all. So bland and inoffensive that you can't even dislike it. Just completely irrelevant.

No. 272/1001 …Highway To Hell 5/5 Girls Got Rythm 4/5 Walk All Over You 4/5 Touch Too Much 4/5 Beating Around The Bush 4/5 Shot Down in Flames 4/5 Get it Hot 4/5 If You Want Blood 4/5 Love Hungry Man 4/5 Night Prowler 4/5 Average: 4,1 Just an all-around great rock album. There's not a lot of diversity, but all the songs just slap.

Gran disco

Decent album. Consistent AC/DC sound

Classic album with some great songs and great riffs. This sort of rock can feel a bit samey for me. Not the sort of album I would listen to. Just the odd song.

Solid rock and roll. They've been playing the same damn song record after record for ages but... You can get away with it when it's a great song.

Everyone knows that AC/DC only has one song and they just change the lyrics to make an album, right? There’s so much more potential here but they came up short on this one.

I have anti-nostalgia for AC/DC. It was the music of the people I didn't like, and didn't want to grow up like. That aside, this is really solid album, albeit one that's not to my taste.

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Girls Got Rhythm, Walk All Over You, Shot Down in Flames, Get It Hot Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: In a complete reversal of my feelings for Back In Black, don't care particularly for the title track but the secondary hits on this one are all stellar

very noice

I'm gonna do 2 reviews of this, one personal and one more critical but the personal will be what i will put down. I grew up on classic rock, highway to hell is one of the first songs i learned on guitar. So yeah... this will be a personal 5. A no-brainer and this 1001 list really shows that personal attachment is how people usually grade these albums. So onto the more detached and critical review! The cultural impact: if you say classic rock AC/DC is probably the first band that comes to mind. Most people have at least heard highway to hell and seen the logo whether they want or not. So it deserves a spot here i would say. Music wise i will say it lacks in variety and when they stray to much from high pulsed rock n roll they kind of fall flat (i feel night prowler and love hungry man are not the greatest on here). But when they do what they do best, it's great and catchy. It don't really challenge you musically more than having impressive solos. So it's main driving point is energy and easy listening. My detached score would probably be between 3 or 4 so say 3.5. it has a important place and reached allot of people but it don't challenge listeners which can be good in a sense, but i think bands like Pink Floyd is challenging while still inviting.

Oddly this album doesn't hold up as well as a I remember. There are some major hits on it that are still great but the album as a whole is repetitive and boring.

One of the great frontmen for a band. One of AC/DCs best.

RIP Bon Scott. Legend. Also possibly AC/DC's best album. Yes, I said possibly. I know you're reading this Jeff.

Rippy

Vocals are amazing. I didn’t get to listen to the highest quality recording but I still enjoyed most of the album.

Good album

If Kiss was my gateway drug into hard rock and metal, AC/DC was the hook that kept me there. It was also nice to hear a record free of ballads. I actually heard this before “Back in Black” came out. It sucked that Bon Scott died so soon after this came out, but that only added to the band’s hard rocking/hard living reputation.

It wasn't as bas I was expecting, lots of melody going on, lyrics are pretty big standard, lots of 'hot and 'woman' and the such. 2.5

Silly.

A really solid hard rock thumper with fun dopey lyrics.

Some stand-outs and generally really enjoyable. I think I did prefer Bon Scott's voice, y'know. Slightly same-y by side 2.

Preferred Back in Black 1000% more but this one wasn’t too bad. Never was really into the rock genre on a really high level but I respect AC/DC obviously. Not a bad album

It surely has some classics on it, but the non-classic songs sound the same and are not that interesting. 3/5

So boring and repetitive... not the best AC/DC album.

First AC/DC album I bought on CD. A classic album. No filler in this one. All grunt.

Full of drive and energy, eternal classic

It's funny how similar the Back in Black singer sounds like Bon Scott. And also wore the hat. Was he just not allowed to be his own thing? Anyway yes, this is ACDC. It's always going to be exactly what you expect. I definitely forgot it was on after a few tracks. Not bad though. Not good either.

"I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same." That's right. Get in the t-top, loser, we're hitting mailboxes with a baseball bat. Nothing groundbreaking, and somehow too long as an album, but every song rocks.

Can this album take less than five stars?

Great

Highway to Hell is a great way to kick off an album. AC/DC has a sound, and they have stuck with it through thick and thin. These guys are super horny, every song is about getting laid. I can understand how some people might confuse some AC/DC songs. With as many hits as they have over their career, it's surprising that this album only really had one big one. This one delivers exactly what an AC/DC album promises.

I didn't expect this to turn me around on AC/DC, and I was pretty much right - it's very samey, straight down the middle rock that I would describe as "perfectly fine", with an annoying man singing bullshit over it.

First look...I'm not sure I've ever listened to this as an album before. I only recognise two songs off the top of my head. To my surprise I preferred it to Back In Black. This might be because I was listening to it in its natural habitat, ie on a long car journey.

You know in your late teens, early twenties, and you're meeting new people - college, university, house parties, wherever - and you meet that guy who fires up the room, a real party animal, everyone's buddy. You start talking to him, and it sounds like he's the most awesome person ever... but as the night wears on, he's just drinking more and more, and tell the same story over and over again to every new person who joins the group, and the story is all about the tons of sex he is DEFINITELY having, and how he's having MORE SEX than everyone else, and how he DEFINITELY did it today, and everyone realises he's just kind of... a sad act who has one story at most? That's Highway to Hell. The album starts great, with a genuine banger, but then every other song after that blends in to hard rockin', sex havin', four to the floor sameyness that really leaves me cold. The last track at least tries something different with the blues-y feel (although it is still about a serial killer stalking a woman, so no thanks), but overall I don't think it'll be one for a second listen. Fave: Highway to Hell

Kinda mid

no ac/dc album should be more than 30 minutes. no ac/dc song should be more than 3 minutes.

Good. Not great. Good.

Fun listen but after two go throughs I can say “meh 🫤”with full confidence

Titillagið er banger, restin er fínn þungarokksfiller. Get alveg hlustað á þetta þótt ekki sé það fjölbreytt.

A hellofa album. The title track is fantastic. AC/DC have an iconic sound that serves them particularly well here. Unpretentious rock.

Album was okay. Title track was easily the best on here, the rest were pretty forgettable. They have better albums. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Love this album. Have enjoyed acdc since I was a kid

Oh to be a teenage boy.

Very enjoyable. So many good songs.

Sure was some AC/DC.

AC/DC makes music for venues to play between bands

Not a giant fan. Occasionally I'd be enjoying a song, and then the singer would do some weird Spongebob-esque laugh or adlib and then I'd hate it again.

Klinkt een hoop een beetje hetzelfde

I'm pretty sure that if you fed 5 random AC/DC songs into an AI, it could produce a discography so similar to the real one that no one would be able to tell the difference

Explodes like a bomb

Fine but AC DC's hits are better than anything else

A some cold classic. It feels like some of these songs have always existed. They are part of my DNA and it is hard to listen to them critically. Overall this might be one of their best balanced albums. Highway to Hell, Touch Too Much, If You Want Blood, Night Prowler and Girl’s Got Rhythm are the standouts. Basically all hits.

All the songs sound the same, but that's not 100% a bad thing.

Classic

Always a good time.

Classic album. This is AC DC at the height of their powers. Massively influential album, too.

I appreciate AC/DC on a mix tape. A single song or two is great mixed in with other classic rock. An entire album is way too much for me and starts sounding very same-y. Girls Got Rhythm is one of my favorite AC/DC songs so I gave this album a bonus star for that.

It's ok, kinda samey all the way through

Love this. Takes me back to 6th grade

This is the pinnacle of rock and roll for me. The songs are brilliantly written and have such an energy, the voice perfectly matches, the guitar sound is raw and angry and the rhythm section drives it forward like a train. This isnt my genre and doesnt have the depth of better work, but god damn its fun

Hard rock. A fun album all the way through, although there are a few songs that kind of blend together. The vocals aren’t bad, but they kinda wear on my ears after 40 minutes. Still though, some excellent songs in here. Would probably give it a 4.5 if I could.

Every song sounds the same. Boring.

Biased because AC/DC is one of my favorite bands.

generic

Ready to run through a wall after listening to this. If you ever need an endorphin kick, just put this on and crank it.

Surprisingly decent album, 1st listen for me

Very nice classic rock album. Listening to it is like driving home from work on a Friday on a cool fall day with the windows down and no responsibilities and no cares in the world but just vibes

It was ok

fun und fetzig!

Fill your pockets full of rocks. No, more rocks. No, still more rocks. Now you're ready to rock for the highway to hell.

Can’t go wrong here

okkkk

Class

Do you like songs with unique vocals? The album 'highway to hell'' by AC/DC might be the one for you! I think this album was one of the first Rock albums I ever heard it caught my attention mainly for the vocals, he has a raspy, low voice and it seems as if he had lost his voice the night before. It also caught my attention because of how Angus young played the guitar, its something about how his guitar sounds that I like and I still can't figure it out. In conclusion its a very good album and It's unique in its own ways. I would recommend this to literally anyone since its a good album you can listen in the background, if you like rock music of course.

have you ever been on a road trip and wanted to listen to something good or would make the trip more exciting well in my opinion highway to hell is good because when your on a road trip and makes it more exciting like when they put it on movies where the character could be on the road driving or is letting someone else drive it fits perfectly and makes me excited on what's next cause when the trip ends the either cut to it or show it which is great and makes me interested in the music and the movie this song always fits with cool scenes that happens in movies to like when a fight happens in the movie also the instruments used are pretty sick sounding and really makes the song better and my favorite part of it is when it says "I'm on a highway to hell." highway to hell is good and I would recommend listing to this because it makes trips exciting or any movie exciting

It seems like this song is based on life on the road and how you can just do something bad and there will be no consequences, which makes the song have a reckless vibe. Overall, I think that song is fine, but I don't love it because of the wild guitar freestyle that's annoying in my opinion. 2. I think this song is based on the commitment of making a good band, even if there will be some major consequences. Overall, I think this song is slightly better than the first one I listened to. Anyways, I don't like ACDC because I feel like if I listened to this for a long period of time, I would get a severe headache

Did you know one of the songs is called Highway to hell and that is what their song's name is? I like the song Highway to Hell because I've heard it in a few movies so I know a lot of the words. I like the songs because I like the lyrics, and I like the singers voice. Also good to play in the background.

1st song-i dont like it how they singing it sounds weird and plus they are singing so bad little bit 2nd song- ok this I like it little bit but crash in planes is really crazy and they sounds mad 3rd song- this one i kinda like it that much of big fan of them tho and this song so weird

I like the beat In their song but their singing is bad. but if you like it then you can play it.

4 - just not as iconic as some of their other stuff

Nothing really unexpected

01) Highway to Hell - 10,0 02) Girls Got Rhythm - 8,0 03) Walk All Over You - 8,0 04) Touch Too Much - 9,0 05) Beating Around the Bush - 7,5 06) Shot Down in Flames - 8,0 07) Get It Hot - 7,0 08) If You Want Blood (You've Got It) - 7,5 09) Love Hungry Man - 8,0 10) Night Prowler - 8,5 TOTAL: 8,15 (82/100) Current ranking: 96/311

Title track is a killer and deserves to be on the list for that alone.

Loved this in early highschool. It’s not my jam anymore

Liked a couple

It's AC/DC what else is there to say

Pure rock and roll

I think the reviews are pretty overblown. AC/DC has songs that all sound the same as much as any other band that fits solidly within a genre. Sure, they aren't Led Zeppelin, but what they do is incredibly solid and driving. Great album.

A bag of known tracks with some great deep cuts.

4.5

Good album

ofbeldi

5 estrelas!!!

Well, this isn't my favorite ACDC album, since that's Back in Black, but this album still fucking kicks ass. ACDC has such a distinctive sound, and I've never really thought about it before. Incredibly heavy for the time period (or any time period), very cleanly produced, great vocals, lyrics that are as young, dumb, and full of cum as they were when they were first penned 4/5

Very solid album but gets old fast due to most songs sounding similar. Love the guitar but the voice doesn't do much for me. Ends on a high note with really strong songs, overall was very enjoyable. Favorite songs were: 2. Girls Got Rhythm 8. If You Want Blood (You've Got It) 10. Night Prowler 8/10

Write a third song already.

Gutes Hard Rock Album mit dem namensgebenden Klassiker “Highway to hell”. Es stechen keine weiteren Titel besonders hervor … allen ist gemeinsam 🤘🏽 Heavy recall.

Finally, a member of my Australian legends list! AC/DC is simultaneously a very interesting band and a very uninteresting band. They're very popular, so I definitely think they deserve to have at least one album on here. Fortunately, they have two, with this being the earlier one. This album's pretty alright. The sound is quite good. I've always liked the riffs and solos I've heard of AC/DC. Although, I did just realize that, until listening to this album today, I had only ever heard like 4 AC/DC songs in my life ever. My belief has been reaffirmed with this album listen. Bon Scott's vocals are certainly unique. One may find them annoying, but I find them to be fun. Now, let's get the obvious complaint out of the way. Let's just say that there's a reason why people say that every AC/DC song sounds the same. This album's pretty repetitive in both sound and (for the most part) lyrical matter. However, while this does lead to a less interesting album, it does make Highway to Hell a pretty consistently solid album. Of course, it does peak with the title track at the beginning, but the others aren't bad. They're just not as interesting. Overall, this is a solid album from a pretty influential band. It may not be an album that I'm super passionate about, but I see the appeal and the importance of this album. High 3/5.

Basic hard rock. So simple most novice teen bands can cover them. About as meat and potatoes as you can get. Part of every classic rock playlist.

Very nice last Bon Scott album. The great thing is AC DC sound only like themselves and nobody else really sounds like them.

Five seems like a stretch, but I love AC/DC

Good, solid, consistent, driving rock. But the funniest thing is Brian Young trying to recreate the album cover's sneer now; he just looks like an old guy who's suffering from hemmerhoid pain.

They had blood, I didn't want ite

Great classic to start off this trend, and I enjoyed some songs I never heard before.

fire

Look, it's better than Back In Black and birthed School Of Rock (the film), so kudos to that. Enjoyed it more than I should've, but women aren't objects guys!

I didn't hate it, but it didn't stand out, either.

Can’t bring myself to listen to this. I HATE this band. 1 star

A masterclass in rhythm rock guitar riffs and just mid to uptempo rock in general.

good classic rock, keeps with one style but is enjoyable and has bangers. Probably closer to a 4 then a 3, but a high 3.5 rating is appropriate.

Good album, music I like, doesn't always flow terrifically well but all songs are something I would listen to again. Each song is similar enough to be in the same album but a different song in its own right.

Catchy, punchy, rock that sounds great loud. After one song or two of the album however each track sounds pretty similar.

Awesome album, great sound balance and guitar, super solid

Liked it but didn’t get through it

I live in Australia now and come from the UK. In Oz they bang on about Bon Scott being the be all and end all when it comes to AC/DC. I grew up only knowing Brain Johnson and they both have there good and bad points. Anyway AC/DC are a band who stay in their lane and they do not deviate, they are dad rock at its finest. Not a bad I go out to buy or listen to but if its on it will get a head nod from me. Stand out tracks: - Highway to hell - Girls got rhythm - Walk all over you - Night Prowler

Iconic vocals and music. One of the classic American rock bands that still lives on today with timelessness. Not my typical rock music that I like listening to, but AC/DC has its place at times and they can shred. This record is seemingly energetic the entire time and offers a good time throughout. Had never listened to it in its entirety, but happy I did through this project.

I mean, not much to say except that AC/DC rocks. Hard. I tend to find that some of their songs can sound a bit the same, but I thought this album actually did a great showcase of their different rock licks and musicianship. Would definitely rock out to this again. *There may be potential bias because I did listen to this album as Florida State was being booty blasted by Boston College - Go Canes*

Highway to Hell is a definite classic, and I do like the sound of AC/DC, but every song did sort of sound the same. They were good at one thing, and they did that thing.

Iconic opening riff. Lot of good riffs and melodies dispersed throughout.

Really enjoyed this album. I hate when albums start with the best song and then it’s all downhill from there, but I really did appreciate the rest of what this one had to offer. In terms of the “sound” this is one of the albums that had captured it extremely well. Every song was familiar because the band has a unique sound. To me that benefited it throughout. At times I thought of giving this one a 5, but I think a high 4 is fair.

Ultimately, the only memorable song is Highway to Hell. It’s better than a lot of other seventies rock albums we’ve had, but there’s nothing that makes me want to come back to this album specifically rather than listen to a greatest hits compilation.

I listened to this album while wrangling a toddler at the airport, and I think it matched the energy of the situation perfectly. Came in strong thinking hell yeah I got this. After the title song I faded in and out of the album with distractions. Every time I came back in, I thought yep this is AC/DC. Not their best album, but one of their best songs.

One of the OG albums.

Never been a huge AC/DC fan.

Very fun and energetic. Probably won't revist but I liked this record's vibe. I really love the guitars in this. No real stand out songs except the title track, but is pretty cohesive. 3.5/4

Not a bad album, I enjoyed it but it wasn’t perfect.

assurdo che questa merda abbia 3.54 di rating su rym

Great rock and roll album. I remember reading an old Angus Young excerpt in guitar world magazine and someone submitted their opinion that Angus Young only knows 3 chords and doesn't play that well. And Angus Young replied with a lengthy letter back to this particular fan about how he was sorry that this fan didn't enjoy his guitar playing and at the end it something to the effect of "I know that there is a lot of similarities in the guitar riffs that I write but it's wrong to say that I only know 3 chords. Because I, in fact know at least 4." I thought it was hilarious. Especially because AC/DC are world renowned and at one time, on top of the world. They e definitely left their mark in music history and even though the music isn't necessarily complex... Angus Young has written. Some iconic guitar parts. So Fuck that guy. Let AC/DC be AC/DC and let there be rock!

Paska

total classic, the deep cuts are great on this one (as with most ac/dc releases), and ofcourse the hits are undeniable.

Although I listen hard rock at some times, I dislike AC/DC, mainly because of this terrible screaming voice. And the stage performance in a schoolboys uniform when you are over 50-60 years old is ridicoulous.

Fun butt rock. The other tracks are just as good as the more commercially popular title song. My favorite was the Night Prowler

This rips. Beating Around the Bush is about as good a distillation of pure rock as you can find. Album cover: B

Life doesn't get much better than listening to this album and playing the new wow expansion. Epic!

AC/DC sure do have a consistent sound. I like that sound, and when it first comes on I'm nodding my head and tapping my feet. After thirty minutes I'm thinking 'wow this is still going?'. They are iconic, and this album is legendary, but it really does all sound the same. This music is at its best when exactly one song comes on the local classic rock station as you're driving down the highway. You bang your head, tap the steering wheel, and drive a little faster. When that same song comes on the same station three days later, you'll do it again. 7/10. I like it a lot, but only 5-10 minutes at a time.

It’s AC/DC it’s not high art. It’s fine. Theres nothing exceptional. There’s nothing terrible.

Pretty sure I destroyed a pair of Jensen speakers with this cassette.

Rock and Roll. No tricks.

Nice, but not their best.

Killer.

Very similar throughout, first and last songs were the best on the album, a decent listen, just samey

Some good things here that maybe hit harder at the time of release, but mostly feels like generic rock music.

Quite enjoyed. Solid album with some classics. Reminds me of cocoricos too much 7/10

There is something about these Australian hard rockers that I just like. I know the songs are pretty similar. Amazed at how much Johnson sounds like Scott did before his passing. I like a guitarist who wears shorts while playing.

I enjoyed it more than I expected it. I went in with this will probably be a 3 but the consistency and execution were very good regarding the style of play. I probably will listen to it again

When I saw this was the album I sighed. I just don’t like AC/DC. It’s the vocals. Bon Scott isn’t any better than Brian Johnson, in fact I think they sound eerily similar. This is sad because if it was anybody with decent vocals this album (and Back in Black) would probably be 4’s. If you take out the vocals it’s a solid album. Angus Young is an absolute hoss on the guitar and that was great. Everything is great except the vocals, and that really, really hurts this album’s rating (and my ears) so it’s a 3 for me (only because of Angus).
