Back In Black

a low 2 stars. i feel like this is the exact opposite thing to what i usually look for in music... macho, aggressive, yeah... nope. but for some reason i can't really say that i HATE it. it just kinda exists for me. as the album went on it just became a sound that i was hearing with no emotions attached to it. so that's kinda the only reason i'm rating it a 2 instead of a 1. it's not like it grinds my gears or anything it was more just boring and not my thing. and you have to admit the guitar playing on this was good, i can see why people like this. and somehow, i don't have any vitriol against the singer, either. i was just laughing at him because i thought he sounded like a high pitched mouse, lol. after a while he just melded into the sound too and i was like eh whatever i guess this exists. the only time i actually felt like i was hating on it a little bit was when "Back to Black" started playing and i immediately felt myself get thrown into a truck commercial because of how overplayed that one is. ugh. but other than that it's just eh. the lyrics are shit though. fuck that macho attitude. (yeah ik the lyrics probably aren't the focus of this at all but it just makes me want to listen to this less than i already did.) and btw, i was talking to my dad about this album, and he said it changed his life back in the day when it came out. so damn.

not acdc's best, annoying

Whenever I hear 'Hells Bells' now, I immediately think of Trevor Hoffman and that magnificent bullpen entrance. That song alone would strike fear into opposing batters. I've heard all these tracks so many times on classic rock radio that it feels like they've been around my entire lifetime. 'You Shook Me All Night Long' is such an absolute classic that it deserves its own 5-star rating!

If someone went and read a big sample of all the reviews I've written here, they would learn that I like heavy guitars and rhythm-led up-tempo music (anything that makes me feel like dancing). But they would also learn that I judge vocals that are harsh-sounding or not conventionally nice quite severely. AC/DC combines heavy rhythmic guitar barnburners with screamy high-pitched vocals, so you might think my take on it would end up falling somewhere between love and hate. But somehow I just, simply and purely, love it. The rhythm section is just that good (and the lead guitar ain't too shabby either). Yes, the lyrics are kind of silly. Yes, all their songs basically sound the same. But all Cadbury chocolate bars basically taste the same and I'd eat one any day of the week. Who needs variety when the product is this good? As soon as the bells rang on the opening track I could feel myself start to smile. I listen to a lot of these on my commute, and am often quite tired at time of listening as a result. But this album gave me such a jolt of energy on my way into the office. 5/5 would play on repeat

Most songs sound very similar but they are still good

Hell yeah

Guitar riff mastery.

Epic, in what I would call "Hard Rock".

I guess it's iconic, but his voice grinds on me and I'm just kinda over it.

Not my usual taste in music. But the album's overall vibe and sound just hypes me up. Not sure if i'll listen to it often but it was fun to explore.

horribly boring and grating on the ears. there is not anything interesting about this at all and i have no interest in hearing a song from them ever again. literally the original burger music.

DNF

I bloody love this album, have done for as long as I can remember. There’s bangers galore on here. Hells Bells is up there with my all time favourite openers. The title track, while massively overplayed, is still a classic. The stand out for me though is Rock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution, definitely in my Top 5 tracks from AC/DC.

This rocks and is just good clean old fashioned fun, the best of 80s rock and roll.

Absolute classic

Classic

Its like they wanted to write a bunch of songs about fucking and throw in some sweet guitar licks. Not every album needs to be a introspection about life and how terrible it is. Sometimes you just want to listen to some sweet music about boning and rock out with your cock out. If we can include multiple rap albums including skits that are not even music about how many women they get and people they are gonna shit, we can include a album by some bogans about laying pipe.

One of the best comeback albums ever

I may just be white enough to think this is excellent "dudes rock" music. Sorry it just rips almost all the way through. Soundtrack to many a drunken party/brawl in Anytown, USA and Straya.

This album goes hard af when you’re 5 years old

no one can make me hate this. it's so silly

AC/DC is funny, but they is really quite bad. Every track sounds just like the next. It's not offensive to the ears, but I find myself entirely uninspired by mega-hits and unknown tracks alike. This is smelling like a 2.

A lot of fun. Musically it’s not the most sophisticated but there’s plenty of bangers. Just turn your brain off and enjoy

This is a classic album. AC/DC just isn’t my favorite

It's a great album but I have heard it tons of times. There is a local rock station that used to play these songs daily. I have heard this too much and don't really care if I ever hear any of these again. They are good and all that, just way over played.

alternate current, direct current this message has been bought to you by your local electrician

MAYONAISE ON AN ESCALATOR!!! ITS GOIN' UPSTAIRS SO SEE YA LATER!!!

Too repetitive and the songs feel too long, boring and pretty generic, probably sounded better back when it released. They have better songs imo. Like: You Shook Me All Night Long 3.5/10

I actually can't stand listening to this many shrieky songs in a row. Propped up by the singles which are a mild departure from that

Wasn't a huge fan of them when I was a kid but they've grown on me over the years. Pretty good album.

It just never disappoints

3.5

some classic ac/dc also a lot of songs about fucking 💥hells bells 💥shoot to thrill 💥back in black 💥you shook me all night long 💥shake a leg

Gut

Their best

Too much shouting

Just a bloody great album. That's all I have to say. So: 4/5

Good campy fun. Maybe not the most technically proficient band ever or the widest range thematically, but enjoyable riffs and jams. A bit of a guilty pleasure. You know what? I’ll give them a 4 and no one can do anything a about it.

One of my early concerts and a great album!

solo me gusto 2 pero las demás tienen buen ritmo

Genuinely not a fan of this. I like Hells Bells but that is it.

alright nothing fancy

Okay Album. Not really for me. 3 stars. Back in Black is good.

FIREEE

It's like listening to a classic rock station. These songs are a great time, but I've heard most of them to death by now Favorite Songs: Back in Black, Hell's Bells, Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

Great guitar sound. Simple and very effective.

Despite the tragedy of losing such a legendary voice in the form of Bon, Brian is a damn fine replacement. It just so also happens that this is just a damn fine piece of rock. 4.5 bumped up to 5.

AC/DC has made one album 19 times. Even with the introduction of Brian Johnson, after the death of Bon Scott, they kept that sound. It was a teenage favorite.

I have vivid memories of being forced to run laps in my high school gym as Thunderstruck blared over the speakers which is essentially the only time I've ever listened to AC/DC. I realize that song isn't even on this album, but—high school exercise trauma aside—I was expecting something a lot more fun as a result instead of this unexpectedly monotonous album. At least it's not another Nick Cave album, I guess.

Perfect. Iconic. Representative of the explosion of hard rock music in the early 1980’s and still the anchor of classic rock radio stations 45 years later

Banger after banger, no skips, no notes

While I don't really think anyone could fill Bon Scott's shoes, Brian Johnson really does the best anybody could ever do here. Plus this album really stepped it up and knocks it out if you're into brainless, up the middle, rock. There's no nuance here, it's literally what I would give to an alien if one flew up to me in a flying saucer and asked what rock was.

AC/DC's best album by a mile. Every single song is exciting, fun, and iconic. It's the epitome of 1980 Rock & Roll. This album followed the tragic loss of Bon Scott. However, with every bleak cloud there's always a sun-gleaming silver lining. That silver lining is the iconic vocals of Brian Johnson. The drums are like vanilla extract; a little bit goes a long way. The simplified punchy drums do wonders for every song and make this album what it is. Obviously, people will point at the guitar and make an argument for the most important instrument in AC/DC's lineup but I whole-heartedly believe that if you just isolated the drums for a casual fan, they could give you the track title. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I think you can safely ignore any criticism from haters for this album. It's absolutely an album everyone should hear in their life. It's the heat from the sun that grows the crops. It's the lightning in the midnight supercell that shakes your house and wakes up your sleeping cats. I completely believe that if AC/DC hadn't made this album, someone else would have and it would have been just as commercially successful and internationally recognized. It's not about if it ever would have been produced, but when; this album was inevitable. And for that, it's a 10/10 in my books. I'd rate it among my few other perfect scores because of how important this album is to all music - not just Rock and Metal. Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Eminem, and Post Malone have all cited AC/DC in their influences and have referenced this album specifically in their music. 10/10 - Perfect album

Now there’s some kickass metal you can get into. Got some heavy drum beats, driving guitar riffs, and hard-core screeching. Never a fan of metal or AC/DC, but despite his juvenile male orientation, Back In Black was a game changer. The hits got plenty of radio play, I don’t remember a single MTV video. Holds up well more than 45 years later. (4.45*s) Best rock ‘n roll rebound ever!

Way to bounce back (in black) after losing your lead singer. Very hard to do but Johnson filled those shoes. This is their most popular record and not just because the fan base was in support after Bon Scott's death. The album has some of their best/biggest hits. These guys started to push the 80s rock into hair band style. I don't like where they were going but this is still some solid gritty rock and roll with strong sexual inuendo and mixing by the Mutt. Still doesn't have my fave track my the band but if you're gonna own one from AC/DC, this is the record...3.23 stars.

I can't say Back In Black is a bad album, but it's pretty hard not to call it overrated when it is put on a pedestal as one of the greatest ever. Sure, it's AC/DC's best album and has the impact of the Bon/Brian history tied to it, but even at their peak I still find them be just OK and still wildly overrated. I'm sure I'd catch a lot of flack outside of our direct family, but I know that sentiment is shared in the household. I get why it's huge, and I can't deny that it has a couple of fun songs, but Back In Black is just another pretty good album. It's got all the pieces of the AC/DC hard rock formula, which is fine but a little stale over time. Shook Me is probably their best hit in my book, but most the rest of the songs are more of the same "meh, whatever" when all is said and done. It's not a bad listen, just not one that I need with any regularity outside of a karaoke bar or whatever. Sacrilege I'm sure for the masses to hear, but to each his own. Back In Black still gets positive marks, but I just can't put it anywhere near the upper pantheon of anything personally. It belongs on the list for many reasons and has certainly cemented its place in music history regardless of how I (or anyone) feels about it. 3.38 stars

Ah another one from the past. Still a fun one to blast... between the opener and title track, it's hard not to like this album.

It's fun. Scholockly, schlocky fun.

Primo

Well I'm Ba-ah-ay-ah-ack

Pretty cool.

Hard rock being the best it can be!

One of their best albums and a fantastic return from the death of Bon Scott. Brian Johnson was probably the closest match. 5/5

This one isn't for me at all. While I'm aware of the advantages this band has (good players and chemistry) I just don't get the hype *at all*. The songs all sound the same, trying the same shtick with different levels of success. The energy for me never riches a 5/10. And mainly- why would I want to listen to this guy yelling at me for 42 minutes. No, not for me. A flat 2 and I'm quite generous (I give some credit to the riffs and rhythm guitar. But couldn't find anything special about Angus Young's lead. Sorry)

Whopper

Hard Rock Favorite Songs: Hells Bells, Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Have a Drink on Me Least Favorite Song: Given the Dog a Bone This album was so close to it being an 8/10, but like with the last record that I’ve listened to, this one felt a bit boring and samey. I’ll say this, though, of the two albums that I’ve listened to, this might be my favorite one so far. 7/10, but it’s a strong 7.

Repetitive

Just alright. Kinda boring since it’s basically the school of rock soundtrack. But hey, shoutout to jack black

Great collection of tracks with some of rocks must iconic songs. 8/10

Greatest disparity between the two best songs and the two worst songs on an album I've heard so far.

Très cool mais j’ai trop entendu d’ACDC dans ma vie du coup ça m’en touche une sans faire bouger l’autre Un solide 13,5/20

Great album, solid songs all throughout. Can definitely see why AC/DC is being seen as one of the greats of rock and roll

clásico del rock

Banger

It has a bunch of hits. It's their best album and it's before they fully embraced the cheese and Carry On Matron/what a lovely bunch of melons, lyrics and became a slightly heavier Status Quo.

Can’t help myself, this is a guilty 4. Brian Johnson’s vocals are actually pretty terrible (though I know they’re considered iconic) and there is nothing noble in the death of Bon Scott, but despite all this, the album rocks. It’s great for house cleaning and all other general chores. 4 Boolean: True

Heard every song on this album before remember it being fun but pretty just ok. Pretty ok inoffensive bland boring pop rock. Disney channel music.

The last half of the album is great! Some of my favorite AC/DC songs are on here

3.5 stars

Not an ACDC fan. I find Angus Young's voice very grating and the music itself is just vaguely heavy sounding distorted guitars.

Un bon classique hard rock + "Back In Black" Iron man forever dans mon cœur d’enfant 🤯

I won’t pretend like I had no fun at all, but there are some real stinkers on this one. I liked this a lot more when I was like 8 and my dad was blasting it in his work truck.

I admire AC/DC for the fact that after their singer died, they essentially got another one who sounded exactly the same and just kept going. Fair play really. The first album with Brian Johnson on vocals produced a whole bunch of bangers so it clearly worked

It's an ok album to be listened to in certain situations, like at a concert or when you are drunk. Sitting around the house with the kids listening to "You shook me all night long" is not one of those situations.

It sounds Ok. I’m more for the Bon Scott era

Old, dated, not my cup of tea

Rock and roll in its purest. Growing up listening to this in the back of my dad's car while we drove through the country is formative to me

As an Australian Acca Dacca is so firmly entrenched in our cultural identity their music is not something you really think about with a critical eye, it just is. Part of the fabric of life, part of the firmament. Hard to find many more elemental rock n roll bands than this. Quintessential. Turn it up.

It's almost as if they kept recording slight variations of the exact same songs and sometimes that small change led to a classic song like "Back in Black" and sometimes it resulted in a clunker like "Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution."

When I was growing up I had an older brother who loved AC/DC and blasted their music on a regular basis. Maybe it was the indoctrination at a young age or maybe the music is just such pure fun rock and roll, but I really do enjoy this album. I don’t think too hard about it, I just go with the vibe.

Big time, in your face rock & roll with a number of hits that you can play again and again. This is what other bands aim to be like and an album they hope to produce. Great listen and a solid addition to this list.

I’m usually pretty worn of the AC/DC vibe by the end of any given song. To listen to an entire album lays bare how repetitive and uninspired their music really is. Add the juvenile songwriting and innuendo, and the sum equals much less than it should, despite the few legendary cuts.

Grilled cheese is simple and delicious, two slices of bread and cheese. But of course nothing is truely all that simple. There is the grilled cheese you make when you need a quick lunch, 2 slices of wonder bread, a Kraft single, butter flavored Pam in the pan. A solid grilled cheese, but nothing that will knock your socks off. Then you have the grilled cheese you plan, a nice sour dough bread sliced just right, a lovely extra sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated, and an obscene amount of kerry gold butter in the pan. THAT is a special sandwich. Finally you have fancy grilled cheese, which includes some addition like bacon, pulled pork, buffalo chicken....endless options...great sandwich but no longer a true grilled cheese...more of a melt at that point. Rock & roll can be similar. Simple back beat, good riff, decent singer and off you go. At one end you have the wonder bread grilled cheese level band, nothing that knocks your socks off but solid bands. Then you have the fancy grilled cheese/melt bands, the proggy bands, also great but not quite pure rock and roll anymore. Then you have your special grilled cheese level bands. Simple ingredients, but all are top quality and meld together just right, this is AC/DC. They play simple rock & roll better than anyone else. They are fun as hell to listen to and they can still hype a crowd. They don't just play rock & roll, they ARE rock and roll!

MAMMA MIA CHE ROBA BASIC. CANZONI TUTTE UGUALI, STROFA RITORNELLO STROFA RITORNELLO, CON STRUMENTALI IDENTICI. TESTI SCRITTI GIUSTO PER METTERCI LA VOCE SOPRA LE CHITARRE. DAREI 1 SE SUONASSE MALE, MA SPEZZANDO UNA LANCIA A LORO FAVORE QUESTO NON SI PUÒ DIRE. 2/5.

AC ⚡️DC — Back In Black. Pre-Listening: uggggggggghhhhh. Fine. Best: You Shook Me All Night Long. Runner-Up: Back in Black. Third: Have a Drink On Me. Post-Listening: onward. Rating: 6/10 - due to overkill. Stars: 4/5 - I’ll give it its flowers.

Classic hard energy that still packs a punch. ★★★★

3.5

It’s fine but it’s not my favourite band and can’t see me putting it on. Gonna go 2.5. It’s listenable and not bad just not for me.

It was a great rock album. Plenty to sing along with

Great simple blues rock.

5/5 No Skip All Time Rock Album for me

Banger album

I mean, hell yeah

Takes me back to being 10 years old in the hockey dressing room listening to this era of rock and roll for the first time

Not a fan, but can't deny it's a banger

Well the guitar’s good, albeit incredibly samey. The less said about the rest the better.

A truly stupid record.

4.2! Has some all-timers, but it's not my favorite style

It's loud and proud but a bit one dimensional

Much like Aerosmith and other “classic” rock I just can’t get behind the vocal style, and the lyricism here is deplorable. I can appreciate the musicianship as always Playlist add: “Back In Black”

Se kuulostaa rokkimusalta.

Hirmu hyvä levy jos tykkää siitä, että orkesterin laulajalla on todella aggressiivinen ummetus ja lyriikat on horny af. Perus ÄkkäDäkkä kuulostaa noin päällisin puolin hyvältä, eikä se Brian Johnson nyt tässä kohtaa vielä niin pahalta kuulostanu. Menevää suoraa rokkia, kovin tuttu levy tämäkin RokkiBändin pelailusta.

I’ve eaten in two star Michelin restaurants and as you imagine they are great experiences, and I’ve also had a dollar slice in New York that was fantastic. Because sometimes simple ingredients prepared well are all you need. This is the a one dollar slice of an album. The ingredients are riffs and single entendres delivered by a singer with amazing charisma. None of these songs will solve problems but will generally make you feel happier and realise that sometimes all you need is a riff

Rock n Roll boiled down to remove any impurities so you just get the pure tasty licks.

I can't think of a better arena rock album. Just rock at it's purest.

10 songs Timeless hard rock. One of the first albums that I ever listened to, as my dad is a massive fan and I heard all of their songs constantly when growing up. One of my all time favorite bands, with probably their best album.

I jammed to it. The singles have been overplayed, but there were some other good songs on here. Still, that voice - it's pain.

Das kann ich nicht objektiv bewerten!

Klassiker für Roadtrips

This is a good album, but no album with the name ACDC on the cover will be as good as those with Bon Scott. As I look back, I'm a little pissed they didn't change their name after Bon's passing. Imo, a completely different sound and style. Yes I bought Back in Black. Hell I even bought For Those About to Rock. That's about the point I realized this band, without Bon had no substance, no soul and quickly faded to the background. RIP Bon! Well like my intro has stated, big Bon Scott fan and listen to the Bon albums on a regular basis. This is the first time I've listened to this album since High School, almost 40 years. Hells Bells will always be a favorite. Shake A Leg is underrated. Shook Me all night long overrated and Have A Drink on Me sentimental, their toast to Bon. The rest was OK. Was nice to hear again after all these years, but outside Hells Bells or Have a drink on Me, I don't find myself revisiting any of the Johnson era music. 4

Owned and enjoyed for many years (first bought on cassette from a 2nd hand record sale in 94) Great album..not quite the all time classic of it's reputation and not my favourite AC/DC album (that would be Highway to Hell) ..but it's still wonderful. The playing is great... especially the rhythm section. Such a tight band. You know what you're getting with AcDc but they do it so well. The lyrics are often silly and (through 2026 ears) occasionally problematic but it's all just tongue in cheek. ACDC are at their best when they do gradual build up songs and there is no better example of this than Hells Bells which is such a great opener. The title track is superb as well Favourite tracks. Hell's Bells, Back in Black, Let me put my love...

Simple fun rock songs to nod your head to.

This is one of those albums that I heard thousands of times throughout my childhood growing up. I really feel like there's not much to say about it just because it's such a common classic rock album that pretty much everyone's father probably owned back in the day. But this would be a great starting point for someone younger who's never really been familiar with AC/DC. If I had to choose, I'd say this is probably their most popular album, and it's a great album from front to back. Total classic.

hell yeah

I used to listen to this as a kid, and thought it was so cool, not listening to the lyrics. Listening to this as an adult, I can't help but think of the cringe in these lyrics. Favourite Track(s): Back In Black, Have a Drink on Me Least Favourite Track(s): Let Me Put My Love In You

2.5. It was fine I guess I just don't see myself going back to it? I'm not a fan of this genre. Maybe I will revisit later and change my mind.

a classic a weird experince to listen to all the songs in an album used to hearing them as singles

Listened to it at 8:30AM during work, great energy for a start, classic AC/DC, cohesive album, great solos, incredible how they were able to have so many similar songs in the same scale and still make it sound at least a little different. Yet that's not something I will be coming back to, but worth listening

was never on my radar

Eh

This is definitely teenage boy music but that does not mean it doesn't rip. I went wanting to hate this album because of how many white guys swear by it and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it holds up! The lead singers voice is annoying but there are enough cool things on the album to drag him through. Highlights: You Shook Me All Night Long, Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

Review - well this album is exactly what I expected. It's got some good songs. Not just the ones I already knew, a few like Shake A Leg were deep cuts I enjoyed, with fun guitar solos. I just don't find AC/DC very interesting, and specifically I don't particularly like Brian Johnson's voice. Not that I want to go listen to a bunch on of Bon Scott stuff but still. TNT is more interesting than any song here. In any case, AC/DC isn't a band I'd choose to listen to a full album of at like 7:30am, as I did in this case. Too early for Brian's Geordie caterwauling. Score - 5.5/10 Need to listen? YES

Meh.

Perfect.

the music itself isnt too bad, has a few bangers even, but im always gonna feel slightly racist listening to this

Picture it. 1980 and I heard this without a second thought of the lyrics; it was all about the guitars and drums. Decades later, the guitars and drums still rule, but now some of the lyrics give the icks. My heart votes 1 but my ears vote 5.

Klassikalise roki etalon. Mulle selle albumiga alati meenub Dave Grohli ütlemine, et kui tahad õppida trumme mängima, siis lihtsalt Back In Black ette. Siinne materjal pole väga keeruline, aga see on meeldejääv ning aidanud AC/DC-l jõuda maailma tippu. 4.5/5

Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Still rocks!

Christ, the popularity of this. Yeah, there are the guitars and drums, and whatever that vocal thing is, but it's so reductive, empty and banal. Driving music for idiots.

Worse than expected? Deels wrong to give 2 though

I love this f’n album, it is there best, in my humble opinion.

Como que si y como que no

Absolutely mammoth release from AC/DC here. I can't conceive a more gargantuan statement from a band that lost its iconic frontman. These guys out here hanging massive dong like that. And Brian Johnson, dude, my guy throwing fucken haymakers for 42 minutes of the greatest rock ever known at the time. Welcome to the big leagues. Easily one of the greatest albums ever made.

3/10

It's hard to think of a band with a bigger impact on music in the 80s. Love this album, of course.

Too much screetching!

Hard not to like this. Not trying to reinvent the wheel, just make it as simple, fun an and engaging as possible. It’s amazing how every song can sound the same and yet be so singular. Great album, great songs, great production. All around a good time

Ac/DC is legendary

Great songs, great solid rock. That's a lot of screaming for an hour, though. 3.5/5

Simple, effective.

This is the second biggest selling album ever? It is some way off my taste, so I have some difficulty relating to its popularity. Guitars somewhat crunchy but so simple (the title track riff, somewhat famous, is the only one that sticks in my head), rhythms so straightforward and sometimes plodding, pub rock evolved into arena rock (singalong choruses), is that enough? The lyrics are repugnant to me, but must somehow work with various audiences?? The AC/DC image pitch is that the singer / band members are “bad boys”, in a gang, hard-drinking, sexually aggressive: young men want to be liked by them, look up to the braggadocio?? Negativity in the lyrics must be a deliberate pitch - inchoate rejection of status quo and daily frustrations? If something gets you down, have a drink and hope for a root? Negativity here is undirected, not against anything except women. “Let me put my love into you … let me cut your cake with my knife”. “Don’t you struggle, don’t you fight, don’t you worry, ‘cause it’s your turn tonight”?!? The strained high notes of the singer are tiresome to me - for fans they maybe stand for peak excitement? I look again at what various retrospective reviews have said. I side with the negatives, while recognising the impact on commercial hard rock expectations. For me, it’s Bad, 1/10.

I respect ACDC but they are the core of "Dad Rock" and I have never liked the genre.

Der er mange gode numre på, men det er også lidt i samme riff-rille.

Actually, I do know one thing, that this album…is awesome. My second go around with AC/DC on this site, and I feel like they definitely just make good, solid rock and roll music. Going in, I have listened to this album before, but I didn’t really remember much besides the big hits. After listening to it again, I feel like it stands well along with Highway To Hell, and it’s also a great tribute to their late singer, Bon Scott, whose death inspired this album’s creation. I feel like the cool thing about this album and why it works as a tribute album is because it isn’t trying to be something it’s not. It celebrates Bon by making music that represents him. It isn’t bleak or sad, it’s loud, in your face, and debaucherous, the type that he loved to sing. The album thrives in simplicity, being able to hold down all of these steady rock songs without the need to show off, which some may say makes it boring, but I feel like the album wouldn’t work if it was made to be more complex, as it would take away from the essence of AC/DC, which is the fact that they don’t need to be complex to kick ass. It also holds up in both the instrumentation and the singing, with Brian Johnson filling in Bon Scott’s shoes very well, while making the songs his own. I do feel like the instrumentation is one of the reasons this album is really good. Songs like Hells Bells and Let Me Put My Love Into You, my first two standouts, thrive because of their incredible riffs and thunderous sound. The former’s intro setting the tone for the entire record, and the latter being a nominee for my favorite AC/DC riff, Angus Young’s guitar parts really do give this album its heaviness. Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd’s playing on drums and bass respectively do also give the album its epic heaviness. I also feel like the sequencing of the album is kind of underrated, at least what the beginning and ending show. Hells Bells introduced the darker tone of the album, and Rock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution, my third standout, is the band saying that rock and roll will never die(A La Neil Young) and that they’ll carry on rocking even if Bon is gone. My fourth standout would definitely have to be the title track, which may be overplayed, but I still think it’s cool, and it works pretty well in the context of the album, continuing the momentum through the middle of the album with Let Me Put My Love Into You. Overall, definitely a strong showing from AC/DC, a great tribute to Bon Scott, and just an overall solid rock record. Now, I’m gonna shoot for a thrill on the next album.

Mrusen Top

All of these songs feel the same… But also if any of them came on at a party, it's an impeccable vibe. The riffs are top notch. They knew how to do one thing and do it well.

Solid classic

not cool.

I'll say upfront that it is what it is: you probably have an idea of the riff-heavy, sex-drugs-rock'n'roll style of the music and it's not wrong. It is, however, the best-executed example of the form. The guitar work by the Young brothers, the rhythms from Cliff Williams (bass) and Phil Rudd (drums) and, of course, the vocals announcing the arrival of Brian Johnson. Johnson is actually a remarkable singer. He fits perfectly into the space left by the untimely death of Bon Scott. His upper register is insanely high and the grit in his voice is terrifying, as a trained singer. That his ability to sing has come and gone as an older man is not surprising -- his delivery sounds painful. Anyway, it's from 1980 and it doesn't sound like hair metal at all. It's also not thrash. I don't think anyone else has ever successfully imitated AC/DC's sound, which is surprising because of how simple it feels. The record still feels like it could be from any time before the emotionless indie of the early millennium. Throw it on, turn it up, don't think too hard. 5/5; this launched a thousand classic rock stations.

Too many total classics to give anything but a 5. Absolutely great album front to back

No notes.

an album i’ve heard of but never rly interacted with hells bells maybe an obvious thing to say but i like the bells this sounds exactly how i expected acdc to sound but i like it better than i imagined what do you do for money honey pet sitting normally have a drink on me i mean if you insist listened to more of this on the way to the station i think im giving it a low 4 :) fun stuff

Angus Young said, "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" Great tunes featuring the same four chords.

I’ve heard this before and I own it. This album is chock full of big dumb riffs and moron lyrics with the sensibility of a 13 year old boy, and it’s perfect in every way. Sometimes you need big dumb riffs with submoron lyrics to properly rock out, and this is the album to do it to.

It's 2026, I'm not listening to fucking AC/DC.

Quintessential hard rock album. Silly lyrics about sex with awesome riffs and melodies, pure fun.

Not the most variety on this album but thats not what you expect anyways. Good classic hard rock and a great comeback for AC/DC with Brian Johnson as new frontman. A few fillers are definetly there but also some of their biggest songs. 3,7/5

Всё то время что я слушаю сейчас Back In Black, один из знаковых и главнейших релизов АЦДЦ, я пытаюсь понять ПОЧЕМУ я отошел от подобного dad rock'а. Щас будет куча субъективщины: Когда в детстве я вступил в активную фазу полового созревания, и в один из дней задался вопросом "а чё такое етот ваш роцк??" что я побежал слушать? Правильно. Такие группы как AC/DC, это первое, что представляли родители в 70-х, когда неодобрительно фыркали на свое чадо, что он слушает "этот ваш рок.." И мне кажется, в этом и суть. Одна из популярнейших групп, узнаваемый голос, узнаваемый (но крайней неотличающийся от альбома к альбому) гитарный звук, это прям "рок группа из пробирки" и даже не в плохом смысле этого слова. Но это скорее то, что лично меня отпугивает от прослушивания, когда я уже вырос. Когда ты "будто бы для всех" ты одновременно с этим "ни для кого". Конкретно для меня: слишком прямолинейно, слишком неизъебисто, слишком одинаково. Однозначно, это талантливые ребята, написавшие не один хит, но как бы печально и даже грубо это не звучало, для меня они ощущаются "рок группой из супермаркета". Как бы не хотелось обижать австралийских ребяток. Что по альбому? Ну тут сплошные народные бенгеры, Shoot to thrill, Back In Black и вот это вот всё, чё вы и так знаете. Лично я в юности частенько тащился от Hells Bells.

Yo this album lowkey rocks, i didn’t even like ac/dc before this but now im seeing why people fuck with this so heavy. give a dog a bone kinda sucked though ngl. but this actually slaps i was wrong about them for a while

Thunder from down under! This album must have had excellent marketing when it was released because singles off of it were played all the time. In fact six of the ten tracks were on the radio constantly back then (they’re still being played). AC/DC is one of my favorites, but only before Brian Johnson took over. His voice is a bit too strained for me. Note - Wiki says this is the second best selling album in music history.

Hell's bells, Trudy! Is it better to have an album you know you don't like, or one you've never heard of? Just curious. Apparently this is the 2nd best selling album of all time. I do like it better than Led Zeppelin, I think, as it's a little more zippy, but it's definitely in that "genre I hate" space. Except they're Australian! I also don't think I knew the context that one of their bandmates died before this album. I guess I will round to a 3 since it was less painful than I expected. Slur count = 1. Highlight: 'You Shook Me All Night Long'

Been a while since I've listened to the full album.

I knew this was the comeback album after Bon Scott died, but I didn’t realise how many of their big hits this album had. Not only back in black but hells bells, shoot to thrill and shook me all night long. I do think the other songs were a bit to filler for my liking but I quite enjoyed this album as a whole and was fun to listen to

Fuck you

Not interested but not the worst thing ever

the real life "Smell the Glove" album. Never been a big ACDC fan, and if i do listen to them, it's more the Bon Scott era. But, wow, you have to give the band props for pulling off even greater stardom and an album considered one of the greatest rock/metal albums of all time.......with a replacement singer! not many bands can survive that, let alone thrive. "Have a Drink on Me" was always a popular song we used to play on the bar's jukebox.

I will start by saying I'm not an AC DC fan. But I'll tell you what, this album is INCREDIBLE. The songs are power rock genius. Arena rock at its finest. The way they r written. They way they r performed. The production. Everything is spot on. The drums are so interesting to me. So basic, but so powerful, and the drum production is some of the best from 1980 or earlier. 46 years old and is as fresh now as it was then. Amazing album. I wish the rest of their discography wasn't a carbon copy of it.

Good alblum The classic tracks are classic. The others are ho hum.

Classic and their best album!!! Not a bad song on the record.

Dont like the singing style

Shook me (almost) all night long

Amazing and probably the best AC/DC album with Brian Johnson! Has some of their biggest hits and a few hidden gems.

Favorite songs: Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Have a Drink on Me, Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution

Classic rock

its fine

I don't like loud music but i think i love this and i think it finest album especially song was "back in black" was just one of the best song i've listened

Shoot to thrill

Someone gifted me this album when i was a kid and it was one of the first albums i owned. It is not one i really have much lasting appreciation for though, i acknowledge its all iconic songs but All acdc sounds the same to me after like... middleschool and i could not sit through this whole acdc album in 2026.

Sex, drugs, and Rock & Roll. What else could a 14yr old ask for in 1980? 5/5.

Poop in poop

Usch. Har alltid haft svårt att utstå bandets musik. Har sina kvaliteter, men i stort riktigt tröttsamt.

Highly enjoyable

Tack mamma och pappa för att jag fick lyssna på det här som barn! Några väldigt tveksamma texter men satan vilka riff…

раньше очень любил, сейчас попроще отношусь к нему но поставил, пару треков до сих пор люблю очень но так аппетита для них годами давно не было

These stars are mainly for Angus 🐐 Some really weird/bad lyrics in here though

Similarly to Metallica's black album, I've listened to this album unintentionally a lot. That being said, it's still hard to rate it anything other than a 5. Any album that's going on 50 years old that's still this well known has gotta be an auto 5 right? "Hell's Bell's" "Back In Black" "Giving The Dog a Bone" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" are the standouts here for me

This is no doubt 5 for me, I can listen to every song on this album and jam to every song on it.

Favs: Back In Black, You Shock Me All Night Long

Buenas músicas, me gustaría más que cantase, pero también es verdad que los gritos le dan autenticidad

Voz aterciopelada que mi abuela no entendería. Hells Bells Back In Black You Shook Me All Night Long

Funny accents but aussie not brit. Albums rocks

My only complaint is it's almost to short. So good.

I loved the album, I went to see them in March 2026 and it brought back memories.

Very much like my previous AC/DC review. The hits are bangers and everything else pretty much is filler. It's fine, it's enjoyable, but not something I would ever need to own.

I understood why this group was added to this collection as back in the day this group was one of the most popular metal rock and roll groups around; however, I wasn't a fan when they were popular, and I'm not a fan today either.

This is just pure joy, a great album with great solos, so much energy and lots of fun. Sure, there may be more interesting records, but this one is flawless the way it is, it starts so strongly and with so much energy and it does not lose any bit of this energy all throughout its ten songs. Just great song after great song. Such a masterpiece of hard rock with some moving blues moments that really give this album a great touch and sound. It is just fantastic, magnificent, such a classic of rock.

Comes in so strong, if it was just the first 7 songs minus What Do You Do For Money Honey it would definitely be a strong 4 or even a 5, but that song and the last 3 really bring it down for me.

Longed for this classic album, every song is a banker!

Not my bag normally but I do really love Brian Johnson’s voice, one of the best rock and roll voices of all time. And this album has a lot of classics.

Not my cup of tea

I'm not even listening to this right now because today is not even a rock music kind of day

Awesome album containing a bunch of timeless hit songs.

Straightforward hard rock. 4.5

This album is awesome. So juvenile, with more sexual innuendos than I could count, and more than vaguely misogynistic. The music is great and it’s all cut from the same cloth. It’s not really my taste anymore but for what it is, sublime. Angus Young’s voice is incredible.

This is AC/DC in their full pomp. They hit the ground running with Highway To Hell, and we’ll never know what would have happened if it wasn’t for Bon Scott’s untimely death. However the heights they reached are undeniable, as is Brian Johnson. I think the vocalist can be the hardest member to replace oft times because their voice or presence is so iconic. I tip my hat to Brian he just walked in and gave it his all – and still does today. This is rock almost at its purest – big riffs, big beats, big solos, high energy, wailing vocals. Every song sounds MASSIVE and feels like it could take on the world. Yes they have a formula – but hey it works. To people saying “oh shows how simple minded people are that this is so popular” get over yourself and you might be happier. People can enjoy two things, I think this is great and also love heavy music, more complex nuanced intricate music too so go figure. Everything has it’s place. At 41 minutes runtime, this doesn’t outstay it’s welcome and feels like the perfect length.

74/100

If I try to listen to this outside the gym, Professor Oak is going to appear and say "There's a time and a place for everything... but not now."

*1980 sing a longs Hell's bells Back in black Shook me all night long

(9) Classic.

Not my thing

I did listen to it

Love this album “cut your cake with my knife” and all.

Cracker! Never listened all the way through before

One monster riff after another. It's not subtle or complex and it's certainly not well mannered. But it's certainly entertaining.

As a child of the 90’s I can’t say anything bad about this. The guitar work and childish themes are repetitive but the solos rock

This album is so fun and goofy. Yes the lyrics are simple and adolescent, yes they sing about blow jobs and being horny. Who cares? The guitar riffs are a party. Even a feminist lady like me can have a good time listening to this. PS did not know the resurrection history behind the album, which is pretty cool

Great classic

Highlights were Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black, and You Shook Me All Night Long. Very good album I enjoyed it. Solid 7/10

Just an absolute classic, bangers all the way through.

Iconic. Hard rock. Not really my jam... but a lot of jams that were lots of people's jams. The title track, along with You Shook Me All Night Long defined a segment of my teenage youth. Hells Bells, Have a Drink on Me, and Shoot to Thrill were also on heavy rotation.

i’ve heard these songs thousands of times (thanks dad). i get it’s for someone but it’s not for me. sorry

my dear tony stark i see you and i get you

2/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/ac_dc/back-in-black/ I can't stand AC/DC. Angus Young with his stupid outfits and antics, Brian Johnsons awful screechy voice. I have never listened to an entire album by them, and if it wasn't for this list, it would never happen again. Unfortunately, Highway to Hell is still coming up. At least that one's without Johnson, so maybe the vocals are nicer? Honestly, it's mainly the singing that icks me, because the instrumentals are pretty unassuming.

Hells Bells is really good, it's a shame the rest sucks ass 1.5/5

A band who simply wished they were houmous and chutney. 3.5 2/10 Shoot To Thrill

The ultimate reference album. Which is a little bit ridiculous since it actually took quality engineering to capture that sound, but still, pretty dang good.

The classics don’t reallake up for the rapey songs imo. Not for me.

Me había olvidado que este disco lo escuché unas cuantas veces cuando estaba en la Universidad. Buen disco! Claramente un clásico. Y nada más.

Have no great insights to offer it is just good fun Rock

One of those albums where you've heard every song on it without ever listening to the album. Unfortunately I like none of those songs.

Easy 5 There’s nothing subtle about it. It’s meant to be loud and get people excited. Pure Arena Rock

First album I got to listen and review, and it was hilarious to me, because I really can't stand most of the popular AC/DC songs, simply because I've heard them so many times on the radio during the years. It's stereotypical rock, which I never really liked. So, yesterday I was training at home and put it on to be my background music... Man, this album rocks (pun intended)! It's a really solid album and one of the best in the genre, I'm really glad I gave it a chance. I hope I get many experiences like this through this experiment.

Was great start to finish. Classic.

If I can't stand (like, truly revile) Aerosmith, Van Halen, Metallica and others of that ilk, I really should hate this, right? And yet I do not. After careful consideration, I have discovered the reason: Those guys suck, these guys don't.

incrível que esse é um álbum que parece que todas as músicas são uma só, como que pode cara genérico e cansativo na minha humilde visão, 40 min de tiozões falando que querem fazer sapecagem a noite inteira nas mesmas 5 power chords é tortura psicológica

concordo em tudo que o amigo disse. esse aqui eh cansativo, genérico, xoxo, capenga, nada demais, só 5 acordes e tiozões falando putaria a única coisa que eu acho doideira desse aqui eh a popularidade gigantesca dele. definitivamente eh um dos álbuns a receber o SELO ROCK ACESSÍVEL.

This challenge is really showing my bias against hard rock and metal. Just really doesn’t get me that excited. The hits were hitting on this one though.

3,5

Not really my thing... Some great songs. But top 100 albums of all time apple? Seriously?

Enjoyable, but really not what I’d typically choose to listen to.

Classic but as an aussie its a bit overplayed and i say this with as much love as i can but this album especially sounds like the same song for 40 minutes long, but it sound especially good during a few pints with the lads. Standouts are Hells Bells, Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long.

Primeiro álbum do ACDC que ouvi quando moleque e uma ótima apresentação do Brian.

I think I’m allergic to AC/DC. One good song on here rearranged 10 times. I cannot stand Brian Johnson’s voice. The hits are iconic and that’s fair but I don’t enjoy listening to them. I can see why this blew my dad’s mind but this really is like making a thanksgiving meal and then eating it every day for a week.

A level up from the previous Highway to Hell album, which sounded (even more) similar track to track. Lyrics are either silly or horny but also it's just what it is you know? It's unpretentious and they're talented.

Listens: 1 I feel so goofy listening to this album. Is this the kind of man I am? Am I suddenly going to start jumping on my bed doing air guitar? Being removed from an album's context—or the context of any piece of art—has some strange effects. For people around at the time, AC/DC symbolized some amount of rebellion, something your parents (or at least grandparents) might not approve of. (Perhaps rightfully, given some of these lyrics.) But as someone who grew up when I did, I've heard many of these songs in feel-good children's movies, and what used to be "heavy metal" about this now just feels cheesy, something not worth taking seriously. Not that AC/DC was ever meant to be taken too seriously, of course; that was a huge part of their appeal. But rock n' roll just doesn't mean what it used to: it's been too mainstreamed, too commodified, and the kids have moved on.

Some classic, legendary stuff here. Back in Black, Shook me All Night Long, RnR Ain’t Noise Pollution—all electric guitar 101 riffs that most kids learn first, right? Yes, some of the lyrics have not aged well. It was a different era

First time listening to an AC/DC album. Wow! It was siiickkk! Might listen to another one!

549/1089 - Better than I thought it would be. Every song sounds pretty much the same and is very much "Hard Rock" which is a genre I'm not a fan of most of the time, but this is overall done really well and a great example of Hard Rock.

Hall of fame classic rock album

I'd rather not rate this with five stars, but it's above 4.5, so... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Let me cut your cake with my knife, oh" What a fantastic lyric. Brilliant album from start to finish.

Misogyny was fun in 80's huh?.....I loved this.....if I pretended enough

Straight forward, no frills, balls to the wall rock and roll. My love of songs with great riffs began with AC/DC and I’ll never tire of their sound. The title track is one of the best rock songs ever written and the rest of the album isn't far behind. Sometimes the simplest setup can lead to the most memorable experience. *Record Collection

Utter drivel with very few redeeming features

I knew this album from nostalgia as I was pretty much raised on it. It still holds up as an excellent album today

Bro shut uopppppppoppp by the end of it it’s the same guitar tone and same vocal take every song and the hits are iconic but come on 2/5

Really solid rock album with some absolute classic bangers dropped in for good measure.

Not really into screaming but it was alright

OK so of course AC/DC are legionary. I support them and this album. Hooowever, I really only want to listen to them at a bar or karaoke lol maybe a wedding?

one of the all time great albums of all time

I'm gonna do something that will surprise the people who know me. I have made it very clear in the past, that I hate the lead singers voice. But I recognize how great the music and the lyrics are. I won't dock them based on my own wierd hangups. This album is iconic. I can't deny that.

An epic classic, though, in all my years, I don't know that I've listened to this album as a whole before. I'm quite familiar with 7 of these 10 tracks, but tracks 3, 5, and 9 not so much. Track 3 seems vaguely familiar, but I feel like I've never heard Let Me Put My Love Into You or Shake A Leg before. Let Me Put My Love Into You, despite it's lurid context, is the best track on the album and my new favorite AC/DC song. Perhaps because it's maybe the least AC/DC sounding AC/DC song - it's got a less frantic vibe about it; more of A Bad Company meets Kiss kinda jam. This is a great working in the garage, road trippin, boatin' cruisin, jukebox hero kind of album.

This is a completely stacked album, it has a lot of AC/DC's big hits on it; kind of seems closer to a greatest hits. This music embodies the famous motto of "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll," it's so goddamn sleazy. This kind of seems to predate glam metal with it mixing the heavy riffs with anthemic hooks accompanied by lyrics that focus on 'life-on-the-road-as-a-rockstar' and sexual innuendos galore. I haven't realised this until now but "You Shook Me All Night Long" kind of reminds me of the glam (rock) classic of "Cum On Feel The Noize" by Slade, and I suppose this also applies to the glam (metal) cover done by Quiet Riot. Ultimately I'm not a fan, it's just too generic for me. I respect it a whole lot, but the lyrics 9 times out of 10 aren't good and the raspy Mickey Mouse-like screams by Brian Johnson aren't helping whatosever. I think this is a perfect album for my 3 star flat collection, it doesn't sway too hard in either direction, but it's probably a bit more bad than it is good. It's just an album that's not for me, which is honestly fine. Highlight Song/s: "Back In Black" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution"

Not even the two famous songs with good hooks could save this boring album

10/10 album, proving that Brian Johnson would be able to carry the torch after Bon Scott's death. Every song on the album is a banger. There's a reason Back In Black is on every "Great Albums of Rock" list.

Increíble album

Not quite my tempo

You may not notice it the first few times you listen, but hidden within the lyrics is just the subtlest, most tasteful hint of sexuality. "Giving the Dog a Bone" and "Let Me Put My Love into You" are - in addition to common phrases which we all use every day - evocative of the actions which one must undertake in order to have sexual intercourse. But even beyond that this sensuality pervades the album. "You Shook Me All Night Long" doesn't sound like anything at first - there's nothing sexual about shaking. But then when you go a step further and consider what could be causing that shaking... the mind reels. They also seem very interested in this "rock and roll" concept which I assume is some kind of Australian sex act. Not sure what to think about AC/DC they're somewhere between respected classic rock like Led Zeppelin and disrespected crap like Aerosmith or Kiss. They never sing about lord of the rings or anything so maybe that's why they're not as respected as zeppelin. But they're much better than Aerosmith. Definitely going for "rock + roll" not like blues or prog, but they get a little more expansive than just pure guitar solos (I guess just the bell in Hell's Bells). They do great with arrangement and dynamics - it's all about the interplay between the drum kit and the lead guitar so when either drops out for a second it's really effective.

Timeless classic.

I can feel the feminism leaving my body. 4.5/5

🥞

I... can't give a bad score to this one. It's loud, not subtle, classic dad rock.

The day after AC/DC came to town was one of the buzziest ever, and I’d never seen anything quite like it. It seemed that literally half the students at my high school wore a black AC/DC concert shirt that day. Wearing concert t-shirts to school the next day was far from unusual, but the sheer scale of how many kids were at that show was remarkable. My best friend at the time went and, to this day, says it was probably the loudest concert he’s ever been to. His ears rang for three days. If concert t-shirts were votes, AC/DC was, by far, the most popular concert ever.

Great album. I've listened to this album so many times. Used to learn to play the drums to this album.

weird and interesting and experimental and kind of pre-jam-my? Or maybe it's full jammy? I'm not sure as a non-jam guy. But this was mostly funky and interesting, and while I would never willingly listen to it again, I enjoyed dipping my toe into these waters!

Shoot to thrill Skip tracks Most of the album outstanding of the main singles

Surprisingly good!

Can’t help but feel like I’d enjoy all these songs if they were sung by someone else

Classic rock. Not really my cup of tea but the guitar work is really catchy. The vocal melodies are also nice and catchy even though the style of vocals isn't really something I like listening to for a prolonged period of time. Maybe the vocals are the reason I don't like this more than I do. Overall, quite catchy and simple songs. I can see why it is rated highly.

Sound like what 'trying to be Cool' would sound like: slow, impactful, groovy riffs - what I would image to be true rock music. Songs morph into one - almost like background music: vocals don't have much variety or range, drums have no identity, riffs are cool but too similar.

Fav song: Back In Black

216. ok

The Angus Young and Brian Johnson show

Fun, mas raso

Best Track - "You Shook Me All Night Long"

joa classic

A very musically inclined friend of mine once told me that AC/DC punched above their weight b/c 'if you need a song for a chase scene or an action-packed heist, they got you covered.' This has always seemed to me their essential issue. Not smart enuf to be 'dumb,' they're also far geekier than they'd ever admit to being, & I hate a nerd acting like he's hard. 'Cause I'm the one who's gonna make you burn.' W/ this said, Back in Black is a better record (marginally) than Highway to Hell b/c it flirts w/ melody ('You Shook Me All Night Long') & Brian Johnson is a more sensible frontman than Bon Scott. Unfortunately, it also boasts 'What Do You Do for Money Honey,' an egregious example of 'cock rock', a pejorative I don't go for but works here.

Probably my favorite album of all time.
