Back In Black

J'adore ça, plusieurs gros hit sur l'albume. La voix du chanteur est très particulière, c'est cool pour les hits, tu reconnait tout de suite que c'est du AC DC. Par contre, quand vient le temps d'écouter les tounes moins connues de l'album, je trouvais sa voix un peu trop accaparante. Je vais continuer d'écouter leur succès plutôt que l'album complet je crois.

i enjoyed it but it’s not really my style of music but i still liked it i just don’t think i would listen again

A true classic, need say no more! \m/

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.

Catchy songs all throughout ACDC classics on here One dimensional / safe Pioneered classic rock sound?

It was pretty good. I don't care for the screaming frontman, but I like the high-energy guitar.

One of the best pure guitar driven hard rock albums ever.

Enjoyed this, turns out I like 80s metal more than I thought. Would love to see them live.

A classic. Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black, You Shook me all night long, lots of hits.

The soundtrack to my middle school years! In my search to find the music that felt like me. ACDC time and time again came through as an artist I could vibe to

Sounds better than i remember it.

Nostalgia... fun to listen to now and then.

Love it- knew I loved it before I listened to it. Listened to it twice. Totally pumped for work

I like it about as much as expected. I've heard them so many times as a kid that it almost feel jokey at this point. Still, I was struck by how bizarre it must've been when this first came out as manic as it is.

Fuck YES!

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.

Album kicked ass, kept the energy high. Every song sounded like a hit to me.

This album is fantastic. The first entry from their new lead singer(after the death of their previous one) is their best outing. Show casing a new vocal sound that is today the opitome of ACDCs iconic music. This album plays almost like a greatest hits album containing numerous songs that are mainstays on any rock radio staion(or playlist - "helps bells", "shoot to thrill", "back in black", "you shook me all night long" and "rock and roll ain't noise pollution") but even the lesser tracks on this album are still great songs("what do you do for the money honey", "given the dog a bone" and "shake a leg"). This album hits high on almost every song and delivers the iconic sound we love from one of rocks greatest bands.

I forgot how much the first twenty seconds of Back in Black absolutely slap.

A phenomenal rock album

Every song follows the same formula. Luckily the formula is rad.

.

Some classics, pretty great

Not really a fan of AC/DC all their songs seems too similar and not a fan of the singer. Guitar and music is pretty good and has a good energy to it but stick to much the same style in every song so they kind of meld into one. Enjoyable enough listen but forgettable to me.

See Van Halen's 1984. Some great rock songs, but they feel shallow. Fine for on the radio, but I'd never sit down just to listen to this album and "appreciate" it.

Heavy metal? I don't need to hear any more before I die...

Amazing

Little repetitive but got some real classic.

It's my first time listening to this album in it's entirety, it's a lot more soothing than I thought it would be.

Pure rock

heh

Solid classic rock album; everyone knows the hits. Vocal style isn’t my favorite but I can’t dislike the rock.

Pretty straight-forward rock, but some nice anthems.

After a long day this was the last thing I needed.

Hasn’t aged well has it

Good, classic.

This is right on the cusp of 5. The reason I went 4 is because this much AC/DC is a lot in a row

4.5

Cool album. High energy over the top rock and roll. All the songs sound pretty much the same. Lyrics are a little mediocre but the album rocks.

Classic album. which made it kind of boring

Bangers and sweet power chords

Day 39 of Albums You Must Hear Before You Die! It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n roll, that is, unless you’re AC/DC. The Young brothers, Malcom and Angus had a vision in the early Seventies to bring straight forward, hard edged, and unapologetic Rock ‘n Roll bangers to the masses. AC/DC was a hard working band that had no problem grinding it out on the road, and their hard work would pay off in a huge way. Although the years ahead would bring tragedy and line-up changes, they would deliver time and time again. From 1974-1980, with Bon Scott as the lead singer and charismatic frontman, AC/DC would turn every record they touched into something better than gold, they turned them all into platinum. T.N.T., High Voltage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and Let There Be Rock, would all be released in that time and any band in the world would be able to comfortably say that their musical careers had been a success and ride off into the sunset. When AC/DC prepared to record their sixth album, Highway to Hell, they parted from long time producers Harry Vanda and brother George Young, and ushered in Mutt Lange, who would help steer the band into a whole new stratosphere of rock. Highway to Hell would become their highest selling album up to that point and go on to be known as one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time. Singer Bon Scott would live out all of the excesses of a Rock God in his public and personal life, respectively. When he passed away unexpectedly in early 1980, his absence left an obvious gaping hole in the band. It seemed that AC/DC’s residency at the top of their game had come to an abrupt end. AC/DC isn’t the kind of band that rolls over and dies. When Bon Scott’s mother gave her blessing to continue on without her son, they soon recruited Brian Johnson to join the group. Bon Scott had seen Johnson perform before his death and highly recommended that the guys check him out sometime. Wanting to give tribute to their fallen band mate gave AC/DC the fuel to create their next album, and they did so in record time. In July 1980, only six months after Scott’s death, AC/DC would release Back in Black, once again collaborating with producer Mutt Lange. Back in Black was meant to have a totally black cover in memory of Scott, something that their label was very against, so they compromised and released the record with a mostly all black cover with just the title in grey. Due to the circumstances, most people would expect the band to take a more somber approach to the album. Hell no, AC/DC paid their respects by bringing the same frenzied energy to Back in Black that they were known to always have. Brian Johnson was the perfect frontman to step in on vocals. He didn’t try to replace Scott or mimic him at all. The opening track, Hell’s Bells starts off with the ominous ringing of a massive bell, setting the tone for Back in Black’s dark, yet pumped up approach. Their are no taboo topics on this rebirth. Death, Hell, drinking, partying, sex, it’s all there. When the most famous guitar riff of all time kicks in on the albums title song, Back in Black, I still feel the hairs on my neck rise. On You Shook Me All Night Long, you can feel the drums hit you in the chest as if you’re on the stage with the band. This is one of the cleanest recorded albums of all time, and it really shines because of its rough and rugged content. Have a Drink On Me and Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution are songs that you will still hear played on neighborhood bar jukeboxes around the world to this day. My personal favorite song on Back In Black is Let Me Put My Love Into You, it never loses its shine or sex appeal 40 years later. AC/DC had the perfect balance of Blues infused hard rock and work ethic that made them accessible to anyone that’s not a Bible thumping prude that can’t separate music entertainment from reality. My first memories of AC/DC come from my Uncle Mike. He always played their records at maximum volume that would vibrate the Angus Young plastered posters taped to his bedroom walls, and I thank him for that. (I can still picture Angus Young in his school boy outfit, with horns poking out from his hat, he’s my favorite). Back In Black is still the second highest selling album in the world. Let that sink in. There is no other band before AC/DC or to follow, that can overcome the loss of their frontman at the peak of their career, and go on to not only recover, but soar even higher than before. I’ll leave you with one last fact that I find to be especially impressive. While most albums have many, many songs recorded before selecting the final tracks that will go on the record, and leaving the rest on the cutting room floor, AC/DC recorded only 10 songs, all of which made it to the final cut. Then sold over 50 million copies of Back in Black... Mind blowing. Please share your thoughts, memories and opinions!!

All of my existing favorites, plus a handful of others that are also bangers. Led to a great continuation by Spotify also.

Enorme !

Now I know why AC/DC is legendary

Awesome Rock and Roll. Simple but killer riffs with a good sense of fun. Interesting to read that this was the break through album following the death of their previous lead singer through MisAdventure.

Some of these songs were much longer than I expected, and very similar to each other. Still a classic.

Good, fun listen. Although I have heard many of these songs to death it was still fresh listening. Not the most complex lyrically, but the guitar riffs and solos were incredible and straight-up cool. Favorite song is either Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution or Let Me Put My Love in You. I wouldn't say any song is bad, but You Shoot Me All Night Long and Back in Black were definitely somewhat annoying after listening to them for so long. TLDR fun, easy listening classic rock album, will revisit when in the mood, 6/8.

Finally, the unification of Satan and sophomoric innuendo that the people were clamoring for! A solid album all the way through, despite the fact that I find the lyrics to "Give the Dog a Bone" personally distasteful. I can also picture Richard Ramirez really feeling the lyrics to "Let Me Put My Love Into You." Apart from those issues, the album is insanely high energy with some really high points. So many rock n' roll classics in one album 4/5

Great rock album, one of the all time best, great classic rock.

Lotta classic, not much to dislike

Genial ACDC halt

What a great album, every song is class and belongs on there and is catchy

Classic, in some ways the definition of rock and roll. Love it.

Classic metal album, timeless bangers!

Lee: Take it or leave it for me. Not sure I like Brian Johnson's voice. There are some good tracks but not good enough to want me to listen again. Back In Black is probably the best (and most famous) from this album. Rating: 2.8/5

Brilliant. AC/DC at their rocking best.

Not really my style, but a classic anyway.

i mean its acdc and all but i wouldnt call it special but maybe its because ive heard it alot already

4.5

AC/DC's best work

Such a beast of an album. Just legendary. Every song is a banger. Every track a shredder. "Relentless" is a really great descriptor for this album. It never lets up, never slows down, never lets you rest. It's the opposite of a rickroll.

A perfect album. Best track: Back In Black

Classic. Part of my first purchase at Toms too

12/23 Mid for me, it's cool. Standout Tracks: Hells Bells, Have a Drink on Me, Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

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.

Pretty good, but sounds fairly repetitive after a while. Hits hard though. Closer to a 3.5

Very samey all the way through... they ain’t trying to be anything else. Boring!
