Reviews (page 14 of 14)
Imagine dragons of the 80s?? They found a format that worked, kept at it, repeats the same lines and guitar riffs. Cool tho, but a little repetitive. Liked Iron Maiden more.
I was never too into AC/DC. I was ready for it to be over, but it was only the second song. I find this type of rock boring and uninspired.
I can understand why it is like but its so repetitive to me. I got so bored couldnt get through it all. 5/10 just cause i like you shook me all night long
Songs all sound quite similar. He has a unique voice, personally not a huge fan but it’s iconic. Guitar solo’s stood out as positives in several tracks.
meh
Sounded like a bunch of AC/DC songs in a row.
Either rock masterfully distilled to its bare essence or humerously remedial bullshit. Did your grandpa own a van? This is what he was playing when he got your grandma pregnant. In the van.
Too loud, too simple, and I don‘t enjoy the screaming vocals
Boy that sure is a lot of AC/DC. It is pretty remarkable how many of their hits were on this album though
The more I've listened to AC/DC, the less I like them. Musically it's so simple it doesn't do much for me, never was a fan of the vocals, yet still can't deny the amazing energy all of these tracks put out. It's so boring yet at the same time you can't help but get into it.
"All of AC/DC's songs sound the same"
I can’t believe a band with a singer like this got as popular as they did. It feels like parody. What did the other band members think when the singer was like hey guys I’m gonna sing like this? Some catchy hits and I knew most songs but I just really don’t care for AC/DC.
AC/DC is boring. They suffer for the "any one song sounds good, but they're all the same" problem. 1.5/5
Well, as an Australian I feel like I should get behind this, but this just doesn't stir my national pride. It's formulaic, not musically interesting and overrated.
man i just dont like the vocals
2.5
Basically what you'd expect from AC/DC, not a huge fan
Ugh. I liked this when I was a teenager but now I don't hit my wife and kids enough to enjoy this music. I also have too many teeth to be an ACDC fan.
Bleh. There are some good songs (the classics) but anything that wasn’t a single is just so hard to listen to.
Well, I mean, its AC/DC. I really do hate AC/DC. I can't believe I'm actually listening to this of my own free will. But in doing so, and trying very hard to give it a fair shot, I'm realizing what I hate might not be their music. After listening to much worse albums on this journey, this is listenable at least. If I was capable of overcoming my pretentious bias against the band and people who listen to them, maybe this could get a 3. But, alas, I'm not.
For me it’s kitsch.
Some above average heavy rock guitar continually ruined by an aggravating Geordie shrieking into a microphone. (Harsh, but fair?)
not my cup of tea in the slightest. they may have the structure of a decent album, the vocals drive me nuts and the guitars, while skilled in some aspects, are one note and boring.
Some fundamentally sound hooks and crisply done tunes but basic-basic and knuckleheaded to the core (though they would surely prefer on to say “to the bone”). The fun bits are not nearly enough to make up for the truckload of sophomoric and jejune lyrics and double entendres too unsubtle for even half-witted teenage boys. The slut shaming, troglodytic male gaze, the chauvinism and misogyny— these guys make Van Halen look like third-wave feminists. And as for “R&R Ain’t Noise Pollution” — well, thanks for that thoughtful public service announcement.
Sure was some AC/DC.
Bit same-y
I can’t shake “classic rock lives here” from my head.
A classic album... That I hate.
I've never been able to stomach the lead singer's voice. Great music otherwise.
I just can't stand the vocals on this record. The guitar playing is on point, but the loss of Bon Scott plays a significant role in my overall disliking of this record. Also, every track seems to be following the same structure and sounds very similar for the most part.
Okee beter dan ik dacht maar nog steeds niet iets wat ik zelf echt zou luisteren
Jack Black in School of Rock is better. Didn't even really like the hits. Eye-rolling.
Jaahas ja ukot veivaa taas.
Hells Bells is great, but then it just gets repetitive.
It was AC/DC. Surprising that was their seventh album, I guess. But every song sounded exactly like all the other AC/DC songs I've heard on the radio. No surprises.
I feel like AC/DC should be reserved for OST scoring. I don't think I'd ever put this on deliberately. Wouldn't say it's bad, just not for me.
Just about as boring as hard rock gets… and every song sounds about the same. Volume is no substitute for creativity or passion or whatever else they were lacking.
Some songs might be bearable if the singer just shut the fuck up. But this probably wouldn’t be the case, because they’re a boring band.
Meh
I’m sorry about Bon Scott but Brian Johnson would not have been my choice as a replacement singer. I find his voice unbearable. I already had a headache from being stuck on a tube with a mass of screaming children and then I had to listen to this screech. I can only say No so many times! Mind you I’m not sure I liked Scott’s voice much either. The music underneath is pretty good but this isn’t an instrumental album. It’s full of sexist lyrics and macho attitudes and I am not okay with that. What a start to the week!
Yeah, this just isn't for me. The two hits are really great. Brings me back to 4th grade. But other than that, meh. And "Let Me Put My Love Into You" is super rapey.
AC/DC is to me the parody of rock music. The people who love this band are mostly bland people. Now, I tried this album out and with the intro and the first tracks I was positively surprised. But then the vocals kick in... The way of singing is basically the same on every track. Not for me. I can tolerate some tracks in the back but that's about it.
Never really liked AC/DC that much. They're bottom-tier dad rock with some very cringe songs. You shook me all night long is a good song tho
I am completely exhausted only 3 tracks in. A good and tight hard rock song recorded in 10 different versions. Easy 50 million copies sold.
Very repetitive. Liked it at first, but it gets old, just like the listener
The title track is a classic for a reason, but the rest of the album is the same tired song that just keeps going over and over with very little going on.
It’s loud, like most of AC/DCs music it all sounds the same
This band is obnoxiously overplayed. The lead singer sounds like your favourite farm animal. Somebody get this drummer a crossword puzzle or something. I think I am heavily bias on this one, sorry to say. It might be different if I didn't already hear all of these songs in Pepsi, Call of Duty, and restaurant commercials for the last 30 years. Front man and guitar man are front and center here. They are really loud with attitudes. It's naughty but is also as family friendly as Disney or Mcdonald's. Listening to this album is like studying a sectional cut of American "flip the bird" culture. Turn it up for the neighbours to hear, fuck em! I can respect that this music is just made to be fun. You don't need to listen too hard to process it and the lyrics are tongue-in-cheek. It's hard to take serious and I think that counts for something!
I’m convinced there is a AC/DC themed porno out there entitled “Let Me Put My Love Into You”. This album is perfect for sawing wood in the garage and then ultimately mis-measuring numerous times resulting in four trips to Home Depot. Lot of hits / recognizable songs on this album. I will say, they know how to make a popular song, which is why this is higher than a 1. They have a formula, as they know how to make the money honey. The closest thing to something I like in this album is the first minute of the album, the Hells Bells intro. Once the voice comes in, they lose me. The thing about AC/DC is that their music just wears on me. By the end of this record, it absolutely WAS noise pollution. It really is a shame that when I google my name, something related to AC/DC comes up :(
Better than 2 stars, hells bells and back in black are worth the listen
Whatever man, plain old rock.
I feel like this album would be great if you are like 10 beers deep at a football game, but I do not really know why you would listen to it in any other situation.
Boring. Surprinsingly. Was expecting to like this one a bit more. 2 stars
Couple of great songs, the rest just filler.
So into this until the singing started..! You Shook Me All Night Long is an absolute banger, but other than that......
Eh.
Listened to this a while ago so can't remember 100%. It was fun and energetic but not especially complex I guess? Quite good to listen to while cleaning. Would probably listen to again.
seriously? this has a higher global rating than Enter the 36 chambers and to pimp a butterfly? are y'all just racist?
Loved it middle school, don't vibe with it in middle age
I found myself rolling my eyes at a lot of the lyrics - sexual innuendos abound - and vocals sound like a wailing cat but the classics are classics so 2 stars for that
Quite funny really
An iconic sound from AC/DC, but that truly is the only thing really going for it. The lyrics feel very misogynistic and just creepy. Also, there is no complexity to the album, just cold hard shredding. Good individual listens on here, but just inappropriate and lacks memorability as a work.
Meh. Commercial radio rock to misogyny to. Ubiquitous and vapid. Some cool big dick guitar, but still dumb and cheesy. Go ahead. Enjoy the “greatest rock hits of the 80’s, 90’s, and now!” Yeehaw. Shill music to shill to. Yuck. Bland ass idiots.
bleh. like crossfit with tommy.
I hate, and always have hated, the vocals of ACDC. Most of the riffs and all of the drumming are extremely repetitive. Almost all of the lyrics are about people having sex. The only reason I can't quite bring myself to give it a 1 is that it mostly wasn't miserable to listen to, but all of the other things I listed make it about as low of a 2 I can give.
Bon Scott era only. This is dumb, jock stuff.
Lekker energiek, maar nooit helemaal mijn ding geweest
So overdone.
Back in Black AC/DC 2.5 2 So much of this is hard to credit and/or take seriously, even if they had a notably tight and crisp sound for a hard rock band of this era. One confesses to have once liked this (as an adolescent, of course, but even then knew enough to keep it to myself and view this as a guilty pleasure). “You Shook Me” is all-time pure rock song. The rest is pretty flat and meh – some of it would be offensive if it weren’t so moronic (e.g., “Givin’ the Dog a Bone,” “Let Put My Love Into You”) “Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution” is a clear case of protesting too much. In the canons curated by teenage boys, this would rate much higher of course.
Mi aspettavo di meglio, ma comunque un album iconico, forse "basic" nel suo genere, il che lo rende prevedibile da un lato ma dall'altro riconosco che è il blueprint per chiunque abbia voluto fare questo genere dopo di loro.
Ugh idk kind of annoying if I’m totally honest
Somehow I’ve avoided being bothered by AC/DC’s music before listening to one of their albums proper. Also, for being one of the best-selling albums of all-time, there are a lot fewer hits on this than I was expecting
AC/DC isn't really an album band for me, as every song sounds essentially the same, power chords, basic lyrics screeched loudly, intense guitar solo, back to the chorus with some back up harmony this time. It's fun and it's energetic, but I could easily play "You Shook Me.." 10 times on repeat, and get more or less the same experience.
Through most of them title track, Alexis sat in the back seat screaming “I wanna different snack!” over and over and over. After about two minutes she briefly switched to “I wanna chewy bar!” for a bit. Her incessant screaming fit right in with AC/DC. (And the excessive repetition of an abrasive sound would have fit with yesterday’s Chemical Brothers.) But how did Brian Johnson (and Bon Scott before him) deal with the effects of that much yelling and screaming? Alexis wore herself out and eventually stopped. But the AC/DC singers must have spent a lot of time caring for their voices after performing. Honey? Salt water gargle? Marshmallow root? Maybe it was just the wrong time for me to listen to AC/DC. It's great in small doses, but this was too much. There's no levels to it. If they need a new lead singer though, Alexis could give them a run for their shouting money.
Shannah enjoyed, good classics (2.5) Conor likes. Some of rock’s finest riffs. (4/5) Bill absolutely LOVED each and every moment. Each note a drop of pure electric joy. (0.3/5) (2.3/5)
I know I know, just not that interesting
What if Angus played guitar over different lyrics? Angus is awesome, the lyrics are terrible.
The album itself is decent, though I can't stand ACDC anymore. This review is based on what I remember of it, which is that it's boring hard rock songs about rock 'n roll and girls and sex and bullshit like that. Though the title track is pretty dope, I don't care about this band or most of their music. It gives me strong "dad music" vibes
Ægte rock n roll, hurtig spade, falcet, tunge akkorder
Toliko mi je tesko poslusat dve njihove zaredom a kamoli cijeli album. Ide dvojka jer mi se svidio jedan decko u 4. razredu koji ih je volio pa sam i ja naravno headbangala uz back in black 🤟
Baš sam htio reći da će me se uskoro počet zvati Luk4 jer samo četvorke lupam, ali je došao AC/DC, pa će to sve sredit. Koliko instrumental nije toliko loš, ali glas je taj šta utopi sve.
Nakon godina nagovaranja od frendova i mog bacanja hejta evo poslušao sam od početka do kraja ac ⚡️ dc i nije kec uopće. Stvarno sve kužim, dobri su i jasno mi je zašto u shopping centru njihove majice i zašto ih vole boomeri i neki naših godina i mlađi, al nikako za mene i to je to. Da se vokal izbaci ne bih imao problema s njima.
Klinkt lekker, maar veel van hetzelfde. What do you do for money honey is leuk.
This is the second best selling album of all time. I wonder how many of the top 10 best selling albums I actually like? I don't like this one.
Despite all my efforts to avoid this LP over the years, many of the songs have ended up etched into my brain against my will. This is music for the masses to be played at football games generation(s) later. You just need to read the song titles to get a sense of how unoriginal the music is going to be.
I dont think I ever listened to Back in Black from start to finish.
Better album than highway to hell but still, man this is just not for me.
Repetitive with silly and unimaginative lyrics.
Album wie ein 10er Pack Dosenbier: ist eigentlich alles dieselbe Plörre, aber säuft man sich rein, kann’s sogar Spaß machen und im Verlauf merkt man auch einen leichten Unterschied zwischen Dritter und neunter Kanne. *Rülps 1.9
Oh man, can't stand ACDC. Liking some of the non-radio songs - giving the dog a bone? wtf...decent walk to it though
mmmmmmmhmmmmmm eh, sort of passes by and i wanted it to. some good songs that i enjoyed but not my thing personally
I was well in to this about 15 years ago and it popped in to my head a good few times when I was putting together my 101. All I can say is I'm glad it didn't make the cut. I do not enjoy it as much anymore. Oh yeah they are having a lot of fun and more power to them for writing the guitar riff to back in black. An absolute masterpiece that. But the rest of it is pretty drossy.
I mean yeah some bangers on there, but cannot say I enjoyed it. I used to love ACDC as a teen.. I guess I've changed. Objectively good songs, but not my tastes any more.
Cheesey
It really is impressive when a band with such a large discography manages to release the exact same sound over and over. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have King Gizzard.
all the songs sound the same
Its decent, the drumming and the vocals personally get tedious for me. This rating system could really use some decimals lmfao
boring metal - same droning sound and singing is annoying guitar solos wreck but not enough solos
Saved Prior: Back In Black Saved Off Rip: None Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Was hoping it was gonna be better than past listening experiences but I really just don't vibe with this kind of music. Back In Black the song is crazy good tho and none of these songs are bad. If I was on a roadtrip through Montana I wouldn't skip any of them.
Nice, but the songs are too similar to one another. Not my kind of thing.
This is the only time I've listened to this entire album and that's for good reason. Highly repetitive, and even for its time was subpar rock from a technical sense. Not heavy despite what their fans think. The last song is the best. Should be used only in movie soundtracks and loudspeakers at outdoor boomer events.
.
After a long day this was the last thing I needed.
I’ll give them this: I like the opening of “Hell’s Bells,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long” is an all-time banger.
Very samey all the way through... they ain’t trying to be anything else. Boring!
What is even the point? Every song is the same. Find a three chord riff, find one phrase to be repeated as a chorus, then write substance-less verses based on said phrase, then put that together sounding like a screaming Marge Simpson. Ridiculous
maybe this is pretentious but this was made to impress people who don’t understand music. also i hate his voice. lyrics don’t really bother me bc i can’t understand a fucking thing he’s saying. he has to be doing a voice. there’s no way that’s what his actual singing voice sounds like.
feel like i always go on too long about what i dont like, so we will keep it short i feel that the albums content, both musically and lyrically, is formulated to please the lowest common denominator; all the songs feel the same, and the constantly excessive high energy level worsens the experience discovering later that this was supposed to be a tribute to a deceased band member feels downright distasteful
One note, sounds the same the whole way through.
No.
At the beginning of my listening journey, I found it hard to hear the lyrics of songs. I have been practicing hearing the music beyond the instrumental, actually comprehending what the artist is saying, and I've been getting better. Perhaps if this had been one of the first albums I had listened to, I may have rated it higher. I hated the lyrics, and how they objectified women. It grossed me out. I've been thinking a lot lately about how a lot of men don't really see women as people, they only see other men as people, and it's been pissing me off, and that's entirely the vibe I got from this album. What can I say, I'm a feminist at heart. I don't want my son to grow up with this kind of opinion about women. This felt like the music of fragile masculinity, music perpetuated by the patriarchy. The music that maga chuds love to blast in their lifted pickup trucks when they're in the mood for rock instead of country. Once I clocked the misogynistic lyrics, this album started to annoy me immensely. The music all started sounding the same, too, just screaming and power chords. Of course, there are the couple of singles on this album that will be burned into my brain forever, that I have heard since I was a small child, but until today, I hadn't really heard this music at all. No thank you, AC/DC, there are enough problems for women already, and I do not subscribe to your objectifying ways.
Oh…. Well… You know, when the lead singer’s voice is the worst thing you’ve ever heard in your whole life, it suddenly becomes a lot easier to remember the fact that it isn’t original or interesting. Which this isn’t, by the way. This is bad. This is really bad. The riffs that are just okay can’t save the songs that are poorly written, awfully sung, and structured with about as much thought as a $2 Lego ripoff. The only great song here, the excellent title track, doesn’t do enough to even differentiate itself from the rest of the songs, so when you get to it, you’re just blown away by how unabashedly incredible it is, using a pretty similar formula to the rest of the songs, before being thrust into 4 more songs exactly like the rest, all of which that suck. Each song individually isn’t enough to hate, since the crimes are mostly blandness and annoyance, but when it stacks up… holy fuck. Please tell me this is the worst album I will listen to on this site, because I’m scared now. 1.6/10 (I swear to heaven above if people think I'm pretentious for this rating...)
Exasperating dad rock. The guitar playing is good, but I dislike the songs and can't stand the singing.
I fucking hate AC/DC - I know people love them but then people are idiots. I find their tunes tiresome, once you have heard one you have heard them all and I can’t look beyond the weirdo Paedo baiting Jimmy Crankie outfit and purile sex meteors. Gets a point for You Shook Me All Night Long because I like the chorus. 1
This is not for mey
not for me
Aaaahh, the subtle poetics of erotica, where you cannot tell whether a line such as “had to cool me down to take another round” (You Shook Me All Night Long) is the narrator’s stance on his libido in full swing or whether he is just a 60-year-old dude with chronic back pain trying to navigate his first yoga class. Haha, I guess that makes the lyrics of Back in Black so… relatable for everyone? But seriously, is this music successful despite the lyrics either being misogynistic crap or hedonistic male shit? Or was Back in Black successful precisely because of that? Gives me a headache to think about it. Gives me a headache to listen to this album… a shame, because the production is great and some of the riffs and performances (excluding the vox, ofc) are kinda ace. I mean, as far as (hard) rock albums go, this is probably one of the catchiest?? Now imagine that with lyrics that do not read like the diary of a 15-year-old musing about his wet dreams… Too bad, missed opportunity.
already rating this 0 stars
rock and roll ain't pollution, but ac/dc sure as hell is
No thanks
Fuck them they suck didnt even listen. Cant. Fuck em. 0 0%
sometimes rock n roll is noise pollution #sorry
Classic I guess but not for me
Boy this was a long one. AC/DC is one of those sacred cow bands that were ubiquitous during my adolescence. I don't like them at all. This is a legendary record but it's awfuly repetitive and simplistic. It's just not my cup of tea. There are some better songs like "shake a leg" and "you shook me all night long". But if it wasn't for the challenge I would not have listened to this. It was rough!!!
I just can’t.
Not for me
I have always avoided AC/DC because I can’t stand the vocals and I find the music incredibly dull, so this is the first time I’ve made it through an album. I struggled. It’s like someone took all the worst tendencies of Led Zeppelin and turned them up to 11, then stripped out anything interesting musically, and made the lyrics 1000% dumber. Rock and Roll might not be noise pollution but this album certainly is.
Vapid, misogynistic, hyper-masculine garbage and of course, there’s a song glorifying r*pe. I hope I live to see the day where we stop canonizing music like this.
fav songs: hells bells you shook me all night long drunk-core, riffs 20/100
God i fuckin can't stand this lazy ass band, ACDC has always pissed me off for it's absolutely boring and shit lerycs and basic ass riffs. Always felt like this band is the pinecle or mass appeal, record company pipeline slop. ACDC are responsible for some of the worst/ most boring tracks of all time. Just slop built on slop- it's like they were given a book of "fun American phrases" and made songs as fast as possible in the topics, shoved them into popular culture. Aerosmith and ACDC are responsible for 90% of the songs on the classics rock radio station that made me turn it off instantly. These bands fall so soundly in my group of bands and songs that never healed up from this era, it was radio slop for a time this music was very popular, that's it, nothing more. This shit is only relevant because a single generation had never heard an electric guitar before. So fucking lazy and unremarkable. Like honestly how does one get more then 30 seconds into any of these songs and think "I need more of this or can't wait to see where this goes". Ugggg Like this is how all the songs were made: think of a phrase- sing it 10 times- fuck it electric guitar riff, Don't even get me started on how toxic the lerycs actually are too, so gross, 0 if it was possible
Nope! Next...
Music for the really "cool" guy with a baseball cap and a truck. Music for dads with DUIs.
Absolutely dreadful album. Although even I can admit that, under the right circumstances (blind drunk and in a joyful mood)— You Shook Me All Night Long is sublime.
nope.
Operated album by operated band
this album made me want to blow my brains out. this is not an understatement, i mean it WHOLEHEARTEDLY
They are stuck in midtempo boring land here. They also sound very tired. I don't understand why this is the Big One for this band and I don't really like them in the first place. There will occasionally be a cool riff but then there'll be a really boring one.
This was a really thought provoking exercise in seeing if you could be overlook how much you hate the sound of a singer's voice on a regular rock album and it turns out the answer is no, not all. It's cool they found a singer who sounds almost like the previous one except shriller and it's a shame that it makes this album sound like self parody at times with even dumber and meaner innuendos than they achieved previously. Really shitty, mean misogynistic lyrics. Maybe I'm a boring woke scold, but it gets tiring after a song to hear dick as gun metaphors, dubious consent songs etc. I have a hard time because there are moments where the album does really rock, but lyrics, vocals and a lot of the songs blending together and sounding same-y tanks it for me. I know I'm wrong btw. Critical and commercial success strongly disagree with me, but that wouldn't be the point of this stupid project, would it? Can't really take the reputation and public opinion on these albums.
Trash. Through and through. Not as bad as iron maiden but no point fives are available to me.
I don’t know how people listen to this. Had to quit half way through Vocals are so irritating
It’s a turd
1 good song on that album. Can’t stand brian johnsons voice..
80s rock music is BAD. There are maybe some ok ideas for a song in here and every non hit is miserably boring
36/1089 какая же хуйня....
I will not be listening to ACDC sorry
The other day I was thinking what will be the worst album on this list. This immediately came to mind. I actually don't think this is complete garbage, but it's quite close. I'll get the things I like about it out of the way. The intro to Hells Bells sounds pretty great and actually makes up for an interesting start. The riff on the title track is undeniably fun and memorable. And I actually do like You Shook Me All Night Long, it's the only song here that I would describe as fun. Now onto the things that I don't like! Oh boy... It's a common consensus that AC/DC is a good band ruined by a bad vocalist. I actually have to disagree with that. They are a mediocre and generic band ruined by one of the worst vocalists ever. It's a mystery to me how so many great vocalists are considered too weird for the common audience in a world when shit like this sold millions and millions of copies. Seriously, what? This guy has the vocal chops of your uncle after 10 drinks on a karaoke night in a local pub. It ruins some perfectly decent songs, like the title track or Shoot to Thrill. The thing is, with a better vocalist they would have been better, but not by that much. The music is just very simple and kinda generic late 70s early 80s hard rock. The riffs are very samey, they're fine but barely interesting. The drumming is so simple that I'm convinced if you gave a monkey a drunset it would come up with some better rhythms. There is really no point in listening to this. I can understand liking the bigger songs, but the rest of an album is such a nothing burger that I struggle to see anyone enjoying it.
Couldn't bring myself to finish this. Thuddingly one-note and with a vocalist whose voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I have never really understood the appeal of AC/DC when far better hard rock bands exist.
Me before I played this album: “oh interesting. I wonder if they have anything good other than the popular hits.” Me after I played this album: “why did I think that. I don’t even like their hits.”
I do not like ACDC. I actually hate them, so no I did not like this.
BYOOWWWWW AWAWAAAHHHHHH!!!!! this shit fucking sucks deserves to be one of the 1001? imagine how funny it would be if it wasn't
I can't stand AC/DC. It's music for musically challenged alcoholics.
Styltiga trummor och bas. Sången låter som om den presteras av en äldre man i respirator. En charmlös blek kopia av ZZ Top. När låtar skrivna efter 1950 har titlar som Rock and Roll Ain't no Noise Pollution, då vet man att det inte svänger. Om det finns någon underliggande humor som förklarar hur dumt det låter så går den mig helt förbi.
A lot of people back then loved AC/DC (alternating current/direct current). High school pop music calendars were full of it. Back then, I didn't appreciate it that much. Listening back to it, I still don't.
Only know the hits. Coming off Pink Floyd's The Wall. Need a straight rock album. May inflate my feelings. Track 1: Classic. A tribute to Bon Scott. Definitely has a dirge-like vibe to start off, but AC/DC can't contain their nature for too long. My only complaint is the length. I got it. Track 2: I like the story behind the lyrics, but it's just another AC/DC song. Wouldn't turn it on, but would leave it on if it played. Again, a bit long. I got it. Track 3: I don't think I like AC/DC. But in that way where I'm totally fine that other people like this. Sounds like a good time if you're into it. But I'm bored. It's like peeling out over the same skidmarks, over and over. I won't turn them off if the radio deems it AC/DC time. But I'm not enjoying myself. Track 4: AC/DC rock about blowjobs. Track 5: Gross. Is this a rape song? I'm turning down the next piece of cake offered to me. Was actually enjoying the riff before the lyrics started. Track 6: Another classic. Or is it? Sonically, yes. But this is my first time reading the lyrics. Worst rap song I've ever heard. Track 7: Another classic. I'm not horny enough for this album right now. Track 8: I'm not drunk enough for this album right now. I'm pretty sure that band did a cover of this song in Road House, or should have. As on the nose as a Dalton right hook. This album could have been the soundtrack to Road House. Track 9: What the hell... Track 10: i don't know if it's because of a previous song, but why was he looking in someone's bedroom? Overall: Four standout tracks, and surprise surprise, the four singles. The only songs with individual sonic identities, kind of. The rest is AC/DC slop. Hey, you want to hear the same noises at a roughly similar tempo again and again? The only other song that had a riff I was starting to like turned real rapey sounding. These lyrics other than Hell's Bells are ridiculous. And not good ridiculous. These are adults. 1/5. Good riddance. Never again. Hell's Bells is the only track I care about. Otherwise, boring. Maybe not background enough?
I hated every second of this except for some of the seconds during the title track, wow
ace/decetov prijašnji frontmen, bon skot, izašao je jedne večeri u londonski birc i toliko se napio da je umro, a oni su, umjesto da prestanu s radom, pronašli pjevača s još nepodnošljivijim glasom i snimili ovo. nevjerojatno je da se vodio spor oko toga je li bon skot napisao išta od tekstova pjesama na albumu ili nije jer su tekstovi užas živi, kao i glazba. užas je i činjenica da ja u petak navečer slušam ovo i čitam daleko zanimljiviji od glazbe članak na vikipediji. pitao sam se zašto mi je pjesma "you shook me all night long", podjednako debilna kao i ostale, bila najugodnija za slušanje, a onda sam shvatio da je najkraća
Always been allergic to this. (1.5)
Didn’t expect much from this and it was much as I anticipated. Really crap lyrics accompanying monotonous sound.
I never had much use for AC/DC. Brian Johnson's voice really grates on me. Hard rock, arena rock leaves me flat. No subtlety.
Simple, misogynistic, overrated rock music. Big riffs, tasteful solos but, overall, a very flat and one-dimensional experience. Personally, I don't get the hype. Sorry.
Very similar song after song
okay i guess
Honestly tried to give it a shot. Hells bells has a killer intro, and then goes downhill from there. This is a consistent problem with hard rock
I'd previously only consumed AC/DC casually, one song at a time, so I didn't appreciate how repetitive and grating they would be in album format. Each song is its own joke, often off-color, repeated ad nauseum for three minutes or so, you know, to make sure you get the joke. I couldn't bring myself to finish this.
Nah
➕nothing ➖all of it i’m sorry i know how influential classic rock is and the instrumental itself is not bad, i actually mostly enjoy the instrumental, but then the voice is so whiny and the falsetto… its not good. i just cannot stand the voice. it reminds me of like all of the most annoying fucking stranger things fans on planet earth and nick from freaks and geeks also my dad.
Go away in grey
(1.5 stars) AC/DC (and this album), are so conflicting. On the one hand, they are a riff machine. On the other, the lead singer sounds like Miss Piggy being tortured. Low-key unlistenable. I skimmed the 1001 list and there’s so many albums like this: ones from rock bands obsessed over by the most boring white man in a bar. Dunno if I can stick it out tbh.
Hate these guys, just cant do it
This is music for low IQ alcoholics with hearing damage.
Bad boys hard rock with a squeaky voice doesn’t do it for me.
Butt rock
AC/DC frustrate me endlessly. They have absolutely killer riffs and genuinely well written songs. But the vocals are just so fucking annoying that it completely ruins everything they touch.
not my type of music, just yelling in every song, just not my type all the songs sounds exactly the same 1/5
Hate this guy’s voice, and this style of music. Some nice riffs, syncopation.
One of my least favorite bands ever. Songs have been so overplayed. I understand the cultural importance to America, but oh my goodness. I dislike this band.
AC/DC exists for the same reason the Super Bowl and Las Vegas exist--they answer the question of how to be the most extravagant, over the top form of entertainment without being niche? How to enchant the lizard brain? It's absolute rubbish schlock-rock, but it's the MOST rubbish shlock-rock, and they've made a whole career of it.
Never been a fan of AC DC, vocals are awful, sound is generic.
I can’t detest it more.
Bad
Monotonous macho posturing with no light or shade.
Refused to listen.
Slop
A schreeching nightmare!
Gubbigt
bon scott forever
I just can't do AC/DC. I know they're great, and I do admire the original guitar licks, but the vocals are grating to me, and every song sounds the same. And all lack a message.
Partially listened before - inane caterwauling Favourite tracks: You Shook Me All Night Long, Shake A Leg
Not my cup of tea. All the songs kind of sound the same to me :/ but all the rock lovers must like it for a reason
Ughhhh how to even talk about this one, it feels weird when an album feels divisive depending on what age you are or if there's an expectation that you should react some type of way over it or not because you belong to some age group. I've seen the increased backlash against anything AC/DC since forever even tho I enjoyed some of their songs when I was younger, but obvious when you are like 12 and have 0 idea about music you can simply latch onto stuff that's very well known because, well, it's popular so it must be good, right? I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that the reason I disliked this album was some contrarian, fuck old music thing when I know I liked this stuff before or even now I still enjoy hard rock. But what I think it is for me with this one is just it's hard not to feel like it wears out its welcome quick because there's so little variety, not to echo the oldest joke about AC/DC but genuinely some songs felt so similar to each other in their tempo, their general instrumental, the singing, just everything blends in but even more just how little the songs stand out besides the first two, the rest just don't leave and impression and if it does it winds up being negative like with " Let Me Put My Love Into You" having really questionable lyrics which made me uncomfortable to listen to or "Shake a Leg" being when I just had gotten really tired with the album and wished it had ended on "Back in Black" which also felt worse to listen to on the album as a whole than on its own. I think the songs individually could be fine in the wild but on a whole 40 min album I just get so tired so quick of this sound. Maybe another AC/DC album will click better because it's more varied or psychedelic but as it stands, this one's a dud for me.
Meh
Slop, really only way to say it
I don't like rock
one of the Big Time Rock & Roll Bands whose popularity truly confounds me. i really don't think i'd be able to tell the difference between these tracks & anything on their other albums (though i don't mind you shook me all night long) the notion of this as some grandiose comeback falls short when the songwriting is stale after one verse/chorus cycle; most of these riffs sound like examples from the cd that comes with an introductory guitar lesson book this is great music for car sex after prom but not much else!
just cant get into acdc
Boooooooo
There’s just absolutely no redeeming qualities here. Brian Johnsons vocals just hit the annoyance nerve in my brain so directly, it’s almost impressive. 0* if I could.
If you like AC/DC, I do not trust you with the aux cord or with my drink.
I hate AC/DC
Just really can’t stand the main singer
*totally not easy listening to! Banging and squelching. Not music, more noise
Monotonous with a few stand out tracks.
Well, it's ACDC...
These guys wrote one song, changed the lyrics and title and recorded in again and again. And someone needs to explain to them that screaming isn't the same thing as singing.
Stupid screaming.
Jesus stop SHRIEKING!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hells bells- 3 shoot to thrill- did he just say there was too many women.... what did the women do to you man what are these lyrics 😭 2 what do you do for money honey- 2 or 3 givin the dog a bone- 2 let me put my love into you- ill scream. 1. "dont you struggle dont you fight" :I no more brother eugh
Ugh. I hate AC/DC. Not my jam. Music for high school jocks and other teenaged aholes. Enough said. I know all of these songs and I don't like any of them. One star. Next.
Complete and utter drivel. All they do is make some backhanded sex reference and repeat it to shitty basic music. This album is a perfect example of music made for people who barely passed high school. Just a fucking dumpster fire. The only thing worse than this album is the people who enjoy it.
You know, I really thought I'd hate this enough that it would instantly go into my shit list. I mean, I always thought AC/DC sucked, and I still do; the vocals are terrible, the riffs are boring, and each song feels like a copy paste job of the last, although usually worse. HOWEVER, this album was just dreadfully boring, and I don't know if that's enough of a sin to be instantly cast away. It's repetitive, but at least its relatively short, they could have easily stretched this out another twenty minutes and sixty year old dudes would still lap it up as if its the highest form of music, so I respect it for keeping it mercifully brief. Some of the tracks on here suck, and the whole thing reeks of soiled adult diapers, but I just don't have enough energy to care. Its bad, its terrible even, but its not the worst. Still getting a one though, lol
I don't do heavy metal. It's noise to me.
- not my style, but I can see why it is a classic - wouldn't add to playlist - not really a fan of the screaming lol
Dodge Ram commercial music... I hate this so much. I don't care if it's a classic it sucks. The weird rapey song that was like "don't you struggle don't you fight let me cut your cake with a knife" was ok though
I avoided the last AC/DC album on this list, but I gave this a spin hoping to change my opinion on them. Nope. They suck. Like royally suck to me. Every song sounds the same and the lead singers voice always comes off sounding like he’s stuck on the toilet trying desperately to squeeze one out. Not a fan.
0/5 no lo pude ni terminar
#1 in bands you'll hear 1001 times before you die whether you like it or not. Probably a 2 on its merits musically, but subtract 1 for how many times I've been subjected to it. The first 30-90 seconds of these songs where they play a catchy little intro lick then run through the main riff are pretty decent - the guitar sound is bright and noisy with the compressed tightness of an overdriven Marshall, pure rock. But then the vocals kick in and it's awful and the guitar just play the same dull riff over and over. So many of these songs sound just like each other. Think about what else was happening in rock and pop around 1977-1980 and this just sounds totally regressive. Music for grandads clinging on to being 14. AC/DC is so tame and rehearsed, lacking the exhilarating thrill and rawness of the actually fun great adolescent bands.
ugh
I wish I got ACDC...but I dont
Hated it, the instrumental was repetitive and the 'singing' was more like screaming.
Boring
I really don't like this music
Probably my hottest take, but I can’t stand to listen to AC/DC. I was hoping listening to the entire album would change my mind, but it didn’t. It made me appreciate the hits a little more, but everything else exemplifies the things I hate about hair metal/stadium rock. VERY subjective opinion, but this band has band forced into my ears since I was born. I’m sure others have a similar opinion of the Grateful Dead, but for me, AC/DC is that band I have no love for. 🤷
1.5
Gross
I guess this was the time to give it one more chance, it still sucks ass. Will I listen to again: 0%
I've never liked AC/DC. I only know their singles but I don't like any of them. I usually don't make it very long before changing the station if they come on the radio. I guess that makes sense because hard rock isn't really my thing. I can admit that they do what they set out to do well. But that thing isn't what I want to listen to. If the vocals were different maybe I could like it, but probably not. I did like the bells at the beginning of Hell's Bells. I made it one song in before I decided to quit while I'm ahead... if I never hear AC/DC again, it'll be too soon.
Can’t get along with his voice! Not my favorite for sure.
Äijärokki ei kyl lähe
I'm so sick of this band and all they're singles. I've heard this album enough. I don't need to go through it again. It might be a 1.5-2 star because Hells Bells is about the only song I can maybe tolerate in the right mood and you can't really deny the guitar work on here. However, I want my summary to show how much I hate AC/DC so I'll be rounding down on this one.
Don't like ACDC, generic rock cancer.
Heavy metal ..... screeching vocals ..... the guitars sound good but also become monotonous after a few songs. I can't listen to this album for long.
Not my cup of tea at all.
This album does not let up, pedal is to the metal. It's AC/DC, they know their lane and they stick to it. When they were mixing this album did they remove the bass from some songs entirely? Even when the bass is present it's not doing all that much of anything. Some pretty good guitar riffs (as is their trademark). Drums are boooring. I'm irritated by Angus Young when and AC/DC song comes on the radio - listening to him for 42 minutes is like a weird form of torture. Angus, I'd rather you keep your "love" away from me. I'll admit, Shook Me All Night Long, Shoot To Thrill and Shake a Leg get my head bobbing a bit. I think I enjoyed this slightly more than expected, still a 1/5.
I have never been a fan of AC/DC. However, I have never listened to a whole album of theirs before and I resolved to go into this one open minded and ready to try out some of their deeper tracks surrounded by some of their biggest hits. You know when there's a pressure difference across a doorway that slams the door shut as you pass? That pressure difference was AC/DC's music on the open doorway of my mind. By about one minute into the second track, I was absolutely sick of it. The guitar work on solos is quite competent, even good, representing the only thing I liked here. The bass and drums are terribly boring, the guitar outside of solos is nearly sheer power chords the entire time, I find Bon Scott's singing voice irritating, and the songs are uninteresting. The one brighter spot track wise is You Shook Me All Night Long, which isn't a great song but I definitely found myself grudgingly head bobbing a bit to it, indicating there is some redeeming quality in that tune. On reflection though it's like a half remembered dream, I can remember the general feeling of enjoying the song but my mind can't quite grasp why. The best thing about having to listen to this album is that I know it is AC/DC's best known album, so there is hope that it is their only offering on this list. Some rock and roll is, in fact, noise pollution.
Trash.
why does he sing like that? it's annoying
Just soooo slow. I believe fans would call it "driving".
This is the starter-pack music you show to a classroom of middle school prep students to teach them “Intro to Rock n Roll.” It is not the music you show to an old, tired woman doing a puzzle. By “Honey Whatchoo Do For Money” this album was a 1 for me. Painfully formulaic and even a breezy 42 minutes felt too long.
No.
nothing on eaarth could make me listen to this
Snore
did a 7 year old write these song lyrics? riffs are the only thing saving this trash
my hatred for them is admittedly irrational but god I can't stand em
Shite hate AC/DC
Självklart inte min grej, även om jag är lite svag för You shook me all night long p.g.a. grottmanversionen. Jag tyckte det var tråkigt, sterilt, allt på sin rätta plats, sångaren stinker fis..... orden är på samma nivå (ibland under) som genomsnittlig trap utan alla lustiga ordlekar och referenser som gör den genren rolig och intressant att lyssna på. Gillar mn denna stil dock... stena på.... fr
Drugie pojawienie sie AC/DC na liscie, tym razem z ich pierwszym albumem feaczurujacym smiesznego pana w spodniczce i kaszkiecie, Briana Johnsona, zastepujacy zapitego na smierc pana Scotta, nagrywana i wydana w 1980, pomimo tego, ze zmienil sie glowny wokal, to tworza muzyke dokladnie taka jak wczesniej, czyli harde granie dla mas z chwytliwymi riffowaniami gitarkowymi i niesamowicie rownym drumowaniem, dodac do tego teksty gloszace epikurejsko hedonistyczno sodomistyczne podejscie do zycia, jak przystalo na rokowanie popularne, a rezultatem bedzie niesamowity komercyjny sukces, bo nawet jesli czlowiek nie zna sie kompletnie na muzyce, to jednak kojarzy album, chocby po tytulowym traku, ktory leci na plejke, a jak dla mnie najbardziej charakterystyczna cecha tego nagrania bedzie tak denerwujacy wokal ktory jest tutaj spiewany, albo raczej wyty do swiatla ksiezyca, przesluchalbym tej plyty w wersji instrumentalnej zeby sprawdzic czy naprawde tak dzialaja na mnie te wokale polaczone z niemozliwie popowymi lirykami, czy inny diabel w tym siedzi
I'm beyond tired of hearing the singles and I felt that the other songs were mostly fillers, but the truth is that I'm not a fan at all. 40 minutes of AC/DC is just way more than I can take. Maybe one day I'll become some 55 years old dude having fights in dive bars and then I'll change my mind about them.
Not in the mood
Lots of volume on these song; Back in Black and Hells Bells are the top songs for me.
Did not enjoy
This just gives me bad memories from High School, especially Brian Johnson’s voice. Eg the intro to Hell’s Bells is alright, especially at a Basketball game, but when he starts singing I just have to shut it down. Sheesh.
Basic drum patterns and whiny voice is really not my thing.
I never really got into AC/DC. Not a fan of the music or the lyrics at all lol. 2/10
För skrikigt. Orkar ej lyssna klart…
His voice is so grating. Can’t listen to more than 2 songs at a time
Dull. Nothing barely stands out.
Got about two songs in and I backed out. I absolutely can't stand Brian Johnson's voice. The music was solid, but without a good lead singer it falls apart.
Heavy metal? I don't need to hear any more before I die...
Hasn’t aged well has it
