Back In Black

No notes, perfect

Okay

No lo terminé de escuchar y ya sé que van las 5 estrellas. Álbum del remil carajo. Rocanrol total. 10/10

Know it. Like it. Upvote. Moving on.

This is my favorite AC/DC album, so how you thinking I might rate this beast?!?!

Another classic album. A bunch of hits and the rest of the album is also quite good. Favourite songs: Back in Black, Hells Bells, You Shook Me All Night Long and Shoot To Thrill.

Obviously this album has some classic rock hits on it, but overall I was not very impressed. There is a reason the couple hits are the only well known songs. They sound the same on every song, the scream singing gets old quickly, and lyrically nothing special. But the hits make it better. Top Songs: Hell’s Bells, You Shook Me All Night Long

Nah. Boring.

I was a good album. I liked it more than I thought I would. Kings of simple drum beat, cool guitar part. Had some classics in there

It's ok, I'm sure it was somewhat influential when it released but today it just sounds like bland, heavier rock. I can understand why it's included, but it's nothing special

Nice riffs and catchy tunes but nothing out of the ordinary. A bit one-dimensional.

gostei bastante 8/10

A classic.

Obviously this is considered a classic. But I truthfully found most of the songs to sound essentially the same and forgettable outside of the hits. I also just don't really prefer Brian Johnson's voice. I like the double-tracked riffs, but there are many bands that do this better imo. 3/5

Flawless

There is no such thing as an objective review.

Timeless.

Solid rock album with some classic tracks.

Not for me. I understand why people like it I really like the guitar I just don’t vibe with it

One of the first songs I learned with two fingers on piano was Thunderstruck Talk about cool. 😎 AC/DC have been and will always be giants of rock and roll. Having cannons on stage and fire and combining lyrics about sex, love, and other rock and roll themes.

all I could picture was elmo shredding his absolute heart out

YES. All killer, no filler.

Imagine being on your death bed surrounded by friends and family. You have made peace with the reality of your eminent death. You had a full life. A good life. You are comforting all the sad faces around you with a smile it's a special smile the kind that appears on your face when you have resigned yourself to the inevitable when all of a sudden you hear a car parking in front of your home another visitor you think as you hear the opening riffs of Back In Black... You get a second wind and ask your sad faced nephew what was that glorious sound that was coming from his car just now and demand that he plays it right now, so of course he does and as AC DC's magnum opus is blasting you wonder how it's possible that you never heard this glorious noise until now at the very end of your life and you hang on as no way you are dying without hearing the entire album. Some 42 minutes later as Rock and Roll Aint Noise Pollution nears its end you feel great relief that you got to hear such sonic perfection before you died and feel a tinge of sadness as you know that you won't be hearing it again at least not on this planet, you tell your nephew AGAIN! PLAY IT AGAIN... and he does and you smile the kind of smile that a man only gets to wear a few times in life as you take your last gasp.

Good rock with classic songs. The songs I was unfamiliar with didn't stand out, but not sure if that was because of the unfamiliarity or just not as great.

It’s a turd

It’s good, just not for me.

popular but not really my vibe eh

Hells Bells!! Back In Black!! You Shook Me All Night Looooooong!! Love this album

I love hate this record. I was excited to see it come up - was expecting some really fun good time rock and roll. It kind of delivered on that. I do find his affected vocal delivery a bit off putting though. The guitar chops are awesome but there is something about the blues and country clichés that bugs me too. The objectifying and sexualising of women is off putting in parts. At times it feels like a cheap cosplay led zeppelin record. But it's also full of some well constructed solid hard rock pop songs. It's really fun to listen to when I can see past that stuff

Makes me want to smoke Winnie blues and drive a truck

A classic.

So many classic hard rock songs on one album. Two of my core music memories involve ACDC and I think it, regardless if the messaging is overwhelmingly misogynistic, I will always have a soft spot for this band. Core memory one - 1991 at the bus stop, Cory Young has a walkman and a cassette of The Razors Edge. When I asked what is that you are listening to? He removed his headphones and played me Thunderstruck. That was my introduction to hard rock and ACDC. That same Christmas Eve. Playing pool with my cousin in your grandparents basement. Big Balls came on. She turned up the radio and I got introduced to pre- Brian Johnson ACDC.

someone’s dad is thrilled rn

A classic rock album. There is not a lot of changes from song to song they recycled a lot of what they had over and over. Still it's a good piece they are recycling.

Как будто играет всё время одна и та же песня.

I like some AC/DC but this was even better than I expected. Really good, sometimes heavy riffs and more variety than they get credit for. I did start to get a little bored near the end tho

love AC/DC favorite tracks: shoot to thrill givin the dog a bone back in black

Now my style of music but I appreciate a classic

3/5

Vocals make this otherwise great album unlistenable

The instruments were perfect for each song. If I listen to the album a few more times I will get to enjoy it more! AC/DC is a classic and creative band.

Das ist schon toller zeitloser Metall-Rock nicht ganz Deep Purple aber..c

When 9 out of 10 songs on the album are fantastic, it makes it a perfect album.

The best description I ever heard of AC/DC is that they've been playing the same song for 50 years but it's a really good song.

I only liked two songs, and not the favorite songs either.

Decisamente ad oggi uno degli album piu ascoltati dai patiti del Rock, con canzoni che hanno lanciato il gruppo verso il successo come appunto Back in Black o Hells Bells, sempre potente, sempre deciso e mai lento o eccessivo, il rock nella sua pura semplicità

How the hell do I vote

I know not all of these are popular, but this has always been one of my favorites! Fun and silly, I love it!

1 good song on that album. Can’t stand brian johnsons voice..

Fave tracks: Shoot to Thrill You Shook Me All Night Long

Klassikt sound. Lite för repetativt. Inget utstående.

3/5

It's a classic. Not giving it a 5 star because they all start to sound the same by the end. Still a great listen.

probably one of the best first albums i could have gotten, i don’t normally love heavier stuff but i did enjoy this, it’s a rly fun record and it’s obviously extremely iconic, it does get a little repetitive towards the end i was a bit ready for the album to be over and i was starting to get tired of bon scott’s very distinct voice but still a great album.

Quickly gets repetitive. Don’t care much for what the music is telling me.

I mean Back In Black is classic AC/DC. I prefer the Bon Scott albums but this is definitely Brian Johnson at his best. I think there is a lot of Bon Scott influence on this album being that he was working on it before his death. It's just good hard rock at a point that AC/DC was at their best. They had a good run up into the 90's but Back In Black and Highway To Hell were probably their peak. I don't know why but I find Brian Johnson a bit cheesier than Bon Scott, maybe it was because Scott had a bit more humor in his songs. Great album either way.

So good

Very iconic songs but I’m realizing that im not super into Brian Johnson’s singing

Great album, a fun listen

Some cheesy bangers on here, but at the end it was all just very samey.

80s rock music is BAD. There are maybe some ok ideas for a song in here and every non hit is miserably boring

great songs and great album

This review I’ve really been stewing on for several days. Here’s the simplified pros and cons. Pro: one of the greatest rock albums of all time easily, this is easily their biggest album of their career with the most hits and being the most culturally relevant album of theirs, and it’s even a no skip album. The con: and this is a big one but it has the second best AC/DC lead singer and that’s what hurts this album the most. I’m not pretending like I don’t love brian Johnson, I do love him he is the shit. But it’s just so hard to give this album a perfect 5 when it’s missing their best singer and it’s the FIRST album after replacing Bob Scott. So it’s genuinely hard to decide on which way this should go. It’s definitely a 4 or 5 but it’s hard to say which. I guess just because this is probably AC/DC’s most well rounded and most broadly appealing album of theirs it deserves the 5. But I will say my favorite songs of theirs are definitely the Bon Scott ones.

This is my first rock album that I have listened to. I really like this record. The instrumentals are amazing and the singing is awesome. I really enjoyed this album.

Jag har aldrig gett ACDC en chans. Framför allt eftersom jag har svårt för sången. Jag har sagt det innan under detta projektet - ylande är inte min grej. AcDc är väl typ världens kändaste ylande band. Det precis likadant m Led Zeppelin exempelvis. Amazing musik, ylande sång. Nu har jag lyssnat på back in Black och faktiskt gett bandet en ärlig chans. Det jag tar med mig är att jag älskar musiken. Det är göttiga riff och varierade låtar. Skön rock n roll som tuggar på. Det flyger helt enkelt. Jag står dock kvar vid att ylandet inte är min grej och det är därför jag aldrig kommer vara ett större fan av AcDc. Dock hamnade två låtar på en spellista hos mig. Vilket var jävligt oväntat - Giving the dog a bone och Let me put my love into you. Jag tänker ge plattan en fyra. Det är en asbra platta och jag försöker distansera min egen aversion mot sången åt sidan. Jag kan verkligen se varför detta är en sådan klassiker.

Bon Scott >

The definition of hard rock.

I love this album, it’s one of dad’s favorite so it has a lot of good memories

Great album, lots of energy!

The hits here are undeniable

A classic, what else can be said? Truly an album to listen to before you die :-)

To me this just feels like a horny 90lb man with emphysema rasping out vocals about how badass he is over power chords.

It's amazing how this music went from "wow I feel like I'm at a biker bar" to "that song from Iron Man". Still cool, though.

I've heard this album a million times. But not for years and not with a critical ear. As always, there's interesting history behind this record. First one after the death of Bon Scott, the first with new singer Brian Johnson. It had to do something big. It was make or break time. They fucking delivered. Angus and Malcolm are certified riff kings. But I didn't realize they were such hook writers. Were they always this way with Bon Scott? Yes? Sort of? I don't know. It's just that everything not only kicks ass, but it's fucking CATCHY too! There are so many song hooks! There's so much energy! I always thought it was just a kickass AC/DC album. Now I consider it a rock masterpiece.

They only do that one thing, but damn, they do it right.

No surprises here - solid guitar riffs

Anytime someone looks up "Rock and Roll" in Webster's dictionary, this album starts to play.

Now this is a screaming album i like haha. He basically starts high and the tempo never loses steam. How does he perform this even without going mad? The songs are all so catchy. Back in black is especially my favorite

36/1089 какая же хуйня....

тоже чуть получше чем другие рок альбомы но может это потому что я их слушала когда спн смотрела.. но все так же одинаково

hell yeah! you shook me all night long is so good. the others besides back in black are eh to me. i was wearing my long black trench and jon briks said it was the vibe of the album

Obviously a classic but this type of rock is just very meh to me

Die einzige Band wo‘s cool ist dass alle Songs gleich klingen :D die unbekannten sind fast geiler als die bekannten

Stimme, Rock, Argh!

Großes Werk vielleicht hab ich’s aber schon zu oft gehört

Fun and cheesy

6/5. Metal!

Had some incredible stuff amazing riffs but some real duds too.

not a rock guy but this was peak

9/10 Straight up rock. 10 great tracks, 40mins, done.

Lots of feelings about this one. On one hand, it's an amazing comeback album from a band that lost their heart and soul and their lead singer. Very very hard to comeback from that. On the other hand, Brian Johnson is no Bon Scott and a lot of these tracks are boring or repetitive. Hells Bells is a good song. NOTE: I originally rated this at 4 stars (3.5 out of 5), but I'm going to drop it a bit because I was recently listening to older AC/DC and this is nowhere as good as that. 3 / 5 stars

\m/

Rather good. Very early rocking album. I just hate american metal vocals

It's a fine album. Classic, basic, nothing too special, middle-of-the-road. Very timeless, only thing identifying it as 80s is just the genre. Not my favourite genre whatsoever though, only really cared for Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long.

Even better than I remembered. Everything after this is downhill, but Back in Black really is a near flawless classic rock album and only slightly less great than Highway. The only time Brian’s voice doesn’t annoy me.

Some fun classics here. Makes me think of the movie Megamind because it has AC/DC songs from this album in the soundtrack.

i can't lie, some of these songs hit hard, but i am no longer in this portion of my life where i thoroughly enjoy this album Would I listen again: sometimes Deserves to be on this list: yes 3.8

Good album, ahead of its time. Need to listen more to it

Det e gøy, men ikke så imponeranes, synes æ.

Shoutout to the AC/DC cover band full of 16 year olds I saw in HKG with the lead guitarist dressed like Angus Young and nailing every solo and the singer nailing the voice god I wish I was as good as those 16 year olds It’s a pretty fun album - I forgot how great hells Bells was and it’s even better as an album opener Maybe a complaint was that all the songs sound similar but idk that’s just the aesthetic of their style of rock

Brian Johnson’s first album with ACDC. I find it mad that Bon Scott had only died about 8/9 months before. It’s a good album, you know what you’re getting with ACDC and they’re good at it. It’s by no means in their top albums but it’s a solid head banger album. Also Hells Bells is a great opener. 4.0/5.0 Best Song: Shoot To Thrill

The good songs are obvs very good, but i do feel there is a lot of filler on here as. Also I always wish i was listening to Bon Scott over Brain Johnson. Let me put my love into you has got to be one of the most repulsive song names of all time as well. Back in Black is the best song on the album.

Hell yeah. I wish I was a teenage boy listening to this in the 80s, I would have been a menace. The album is perfectly AC/DC — the unserious dramatic elements, great guitar and staple vocals… it is great. I think I slightly prefer Highway to Hell, but this was still a great listen.

Double Time On The Seduction Line 1001 Albums Generator 172 (11/28/2025) Anybody who has been playing for a year or two could play bass, drums, or rhythm guitar for AC/DC. Seriously, listen to the drum parts on any two songs here and I guarantee you that they are nearly identical kick-snare-kick-snare classic rock beats. The basslines are largely just eighth note chugging on the root of the current chord, and the rhythm guitar parts are normally these sort of "new guitar player's first riff" riffs. The amazing thing about this band is that, in spite of this, they manage to have four (count 'em - FOUR) iconic, all time classics on their 1980 album Back In Black. Between Hell's Bells, Shoot To Thrill, the title track, and You Shook Me All Night Long, there is no shortage of classic tunes here. However, while Highway To Hell had great deep cuts too, Back In Black does not have nearly as much outside of the hits. If someone were going to accuse AC/DC of being a "singles band", this would be a great album to do so. What Do You Do For Money Honey, Givin The Dog A Bone, and Shake A Leg are all pretty bad. This makes Back In Black a tough album to rate, but the nostalgia factor is just too strong. 4/5. Favs: Hell's Bells Shoot To Thrill Back In Black Least Fav: Givin The Dog A Bone

C'est du solide, des gros riffs. Pas mon jam mais la qualité et le ctahyness est indéniable.

AC/DC marque le centre parfait (la médiane) de la musique rock. Tout ce qui est moins bon qu'AC/DC n'est pas vraiment bon. Et tant de choses sont meilleures qu'AC/DC.

2.25 étoiles de loufoquerie

I don't have beef with you if you enjoy this music, but can we all agree that a song where the narrator essentially says "I want to have sex with you, stop resisting" is... not the best look?

Another AC/DC album. Dull 70s 'hard' rock but now it is the 80s. These lyrics... A couple of standout tracks, but the formula wears real thin. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? A couple Owned: No: 32/126 (25%) Will I get? No

Rv

I enjoyed this much more than I expected. The hits were great but the rest was solid too

Just for the fact it is not Kid Rock.

To some degree they are what they are, an uncomplicated rock band that aren’t too over the top or extravagant nor try to be. On the other hand, it very much just seems like the Brian and Angus show neither of which I rate that highly. The bass in particular this time round caught my ear as it is surprising that they rarely play anything more complicated than quarter notes on the root. Similarly, the drums seems to primarily just be a backbeat for Angus to riff over. Also seems a strange choice to fade out at the end of back in black where it could have reached some kind of crescendo instead. Not bad, solid, but not particularly novel either.

É um clássico, sem dúvidas. Rock básico, divertido e poderoso. Melodias agradáveis e partes de guitarras muito boas. Único senão é o vocal aos gritos. Bom disco!

79/100. A solid hard rock album and arguably their best. While it doesn’t reinvent their sound, it perfects the formula they’re known for. It’s iconic arena rock at its finest, predictable maybe, but undeniably effective.

Just straight away rock. High energy. Classic. You know what you're getting with AC/DC.

I’ve heard most of these songs individually, but never all together. Really good album to put on when cooking.

Cream of the crop!

There are so many hits on this omg; listening to this album makes you want to fight someone (in a good way); good hard-rocking songs but the album got boring a third of the way through because all the songs sound so similar

Great album! If you like this style of music this is the gold standard you can listen start to finish no weak songs plus a load of classic hits! 4 stars

I can't remember the last time I listened to this album front to back. I do remember being obsessed with the title track, to the point that I played it twice in a row on a restaurant jukebox when I was a kid. My dad scolded me for it. I didn't care - that songs slapped then and it still does now. I really enjoyed this album, front to back. I was surprised by that, because in the past I've viewed AC/DC as a pretty repetitive band. The songs all kind of sounded the same, were all high energy, and all relied heavily on their riffs. This album carries some of those themes with it, but it enhances them. The structure is a little tighter, the direction clearer, and the accessibility of the songs feels a little greater. You could say that they were trying to be more commercial, and I wouldn't blame you if you did; the title track and "You Shook Me All Night Long" have become radio hits and fodder for cover bands every since. But I do think it was an evolution in sound, necessitated by the loss of Bon Scott. Yes, Brian Johnson was chosen as Scott's replacement specifically because he had a vocal style similar to Scott. But he was a new collaborator, and with a new voice comes new ideas and direction. I thought this was fantastic. It holds up incredibly well, the production is clean, and overall it's a blast to listen to. Four stars. Standout Tracks: Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long

Ive always liked this album, some great bangers in there. Glad it got recommend to listen to.

Rock excellence.

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.

A sledgehammer great riffs power packed and well muscled

The essence of rock

Not my jam, but made for decent upbeat stress packing music. Some impressive guitar licks but again, just not really my thing. I preferred the back half.

The only negative is that I won't be discovering any new music today.

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.

When I had a show on my college radio station, obviously one of the requirements the station had was that I keep my show clean. Sometimes, when making my show playlists, I would find myself looking at a song and asking "is this too sexually explicit for the radio?" In these situations, I had a simple system: 1. Listen to "You Shook Me All Night Long" 2. Realize that my song was nowhere near that explicit 3. Put it on the playlist

They are very good at what they do. It's just that I don't like what they do.

Un classique de mon enfance, ça fait plaisir à ré-écouter, des années après ces sessions d'imitation d'Angus Young dans le salon. Un rock électrique très technique, des rythmiques impressionnantes, des rifs qui marquent, on valide ! Malgré le timbre poussif du chanteur qui ne sonne pas toujours du plus agréable à l'oreille, mais est-ce même le but ? Pas ce que j'écoute tous les jours, mais un 4 pour la nostalgie et saluer la force de la proposition

La guitare amplifiée mise en valeur dans l’album de A à Z (des solos juste magnifiques), la voix au bord du craquage contrôlé qui tombe juste à chaque battement, des lyrics qui ont surprisingly aged well malgré un potentiel de désuétude (ex Let Me Put My Love Into You cf “Let me cut your cake with my knife”). Je connaissais que la chanson éponyme, qui me servait de catalyseur motivation, mais heureuse d’avoir découvert le reste de l’album qui fait un peu manifeste rock. Un des rares types de rock auquel j’accroche dès le début. Et aussi un truc qui m’a marqué quand je l’ai écouté c’est la longueur moyenne des morceaux (aux alentours des 3:50-4), qui est vraiment agréable à voir. Je sais pas si c’est en partie lié à ce que j’écoute normalement, mais j’ai l’impression qu’il est assez rare de nos jours de trouver des albums qui ont tous leurs morceaux >3mins. Bien que quantité soit loin de signifier qualité, un des éléments qui marche très très bien ici c’est la place laissée à chaque composante du morceau, en solo ou en interlaced, ce qui est notamment rendu possible par la durée du son. Bref, au-delà de cet aparté, on est sur un bon 4 de mon côté.

Probably the best ac/dc album

Brilliant, old school rock at it's very best.

Every song is good

Leuke muziek, vreselijk gekrijs

41 minutes of pure rock cliche. The title track is of course genius however, so 3 stars for that alone.

Solid Rift based rock, classic!

No band has ever committed harder to the simple ethos of sex, booze and rock and roll. Partying. An easy breezy low-stakes album stuffed with bangers, this one. It reminds me of eating cereal and reading comics for some reason.

Maybe I don’t like pure dumbass music as much as I thought I did? Have I grown as a person?

Here's the deal: this is iconic. Everyone knows at least a song or two on here. If you ever go to a sporting event, you're bound to hear a riff from AC/DC. It's just so....stupid. The music is much better than the singing. Don't pay attention to the lyrics because wow--they are dumb. Every song seems to overstay its welcome. It's all big, loud, and mind-numbingly stupid. There is no subtlety here.

So many big hits on one album

Eh

Classic ACDC. Fuerte al diome.

BYOOWWWWW AWAWAAAHHHHHH!!!!! this shit fucking sucks deserves to be one of the 1001? imagine how funny it would be if it wasn't

Amusing to see so many reviews criticising this for being simplistic and juvenile - that's the whole point! I feel sorry for you if you can't enjoy it for what it is...

Its just not for me. Its not bad but I dont want to listen to it. Ive never cared for the singers of thos group at all. 1st or 2nd one. They both stink. It doesnt ruin it as hard as someone like James Hatfield ruins Metallica but I just cant stand either one. The music itself is decent to good but when every song has that gravely screamy shit going on it just kills me. There are good songs here just ones ive heard a million times and I dont think they bring anything to me personally anymore. This has almost nothing to do with the band at all but I knew this guy in highschool who only listened to ac/DC and he was very annoying. Not the musics fault but everytime I hear them I think of this obnoxious elitistly dumb guy. Funny in retrospect but doesnt help this musics cause.

This record kicks so much ass.

Never could stand AC/DC when I heard it on the radio. Not excited that this is my first album.... Maybe this will change my mind. Hells Bells - Great intro, great riff. Singers voice is very grating in this song. Good song though. Shoot to Thrill - kind of generic hard rock from the radio, but decent catchy song. Good chorus! What do you do for money - same as last song, kind of generic hard rock, catchy enough song to be relatively pleasing. Fun guitar solo. Givin the dog a bone - another generic hard rock song. totally skippable. Let me put my love into you - good intro, first song that feels like a different song since hells bells. This slower song feels like a good vehicle for the singer's voice. Some interesting guitar licks in the prechorus. fun guitar solo. Back in black - oh I know this one from the radio. great intro. good catchy song. You shook me all night long - probably my favourite so far. have a drink on me - alright, let's get back to forgettable classic hard rock. I'm a sucker though for the back-up vocals during the chorus. shake a leg - fun riff once it get's going. guitar solo is not great.. rock n roll ain't noise pollution - I like this one. Ok, I get that this album is super well-loved, but it's simply not for me, beyond a couple of the singles. hard rock is boring rock, unless the band adds something unique, which ACDC never does for me. Led Zep, GNR, even Jethro Tull do the same thing with more interesting results.. Ultimately, it's ...fine

Fun and rocky rawness

Easily 90% of my nostalgia for AC/DC comes from playing Tony Hawk so much as a kid. They're very far outside of my musical strike zone, but a lot of these tracks are sing-alongs for me.

I was thinking this would be an easy 3.5/4 stars, but it’s so good that would be selling it short. I’m not necessarily a metal guy but this is one of those albums that I don’t think anyone can deny how good it is… 5 stars.

I mean, there's nothing on here that's going to detract from a 5 star review. It's classic AC/DC, sounds great and there's not a bad song on the album. My only issue is that I've heard "You Shook Me All Night Long" too many times. Its a me thing and not something I'll slag the band for. "What Do you Do for Money Honey" and "Have A Drink On Me" are the stand out non single album tracks here. Just a great group of songs, by a band at their peak.

I mean if there is one AC/DC to get a 5 star rating it is "Back in Black" and maybe "The Razors Edge"....

No. 331/1001 Hells Bells 5/5 Shoot to Thrill 4/5 What Do You Do For Money Honey 4/5 Givin the Dog a Bone 3/5 Let Me Put My Love In You 3/5 Back In Black 4/5 You Shook Me All Night Long 5/5 Have a Drink On Me 4/5 Shake a Leg 3/5 Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution 4/5 Average: 3,9 Just an all-around great Hard-Rock record. Really enjoyed listening to this one.

AC/DC has always been a weird one for me. I’ve criticized them in the past, and I’ve also defended them from those same criticisms. Lyrically the songs aren’t great, and the music is pretty basic but the way they come together is undeniably badass. I’ll always prefer the Bon Scott era, but holy shit what a perfect album to release following that tremendous loss. I’ll never go out of my way to put this one on, and when songs from this album come on the radio I change the station 90% of the time, but I still recognize what an achievement this album is, not only for the band but for stepdads all over the world. I was gonna give it 3 stars, but Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution as a closer earns it 4.

A great classic rock album, executed to perfection. You know exactly what you’re going to get and it’s exactly what you want. Robust riffs, charismatic vocals and solid drums that consistently deliver an instantly recognisable AC/DC sound.

This album is formulaic riff tastic feast for the heavy rock fan. I cant honestly say that this is a masterpiece of musical tallent but in some ways the concept is excellently crafted. Its smashes fun and delivers a package that is worthy of the genre and its hall of fame. I cant help but be uplifted when I hear AC/DC and their well known bangers. The thing with this album is they just keep coming and nothing really lets the album down as a whole. Its simple composition just does the job really well.

Classic album that still rocks hard. I was loving it from start to finish. The riffs are simple, the sound is urgent and loud, and the vocals are an assault on the ears. The album isn't doing anything too deep or complex, but it does what it does extremely well. Its an American-inspired classic rock sound but they nail it so perfectly it has to be one of the best examples of the genre. It struck me on a second listen that if you lowered the tempo slightly and removed the distortion you could call this a blues album. I thought that just nicely highlighted the continuum of rock on which AC/DC are placed. An album that unashamedly is what it is and I very much enjoyed it.

Rarely a miss on this album. Fun all round listen. Fave track: Shoot to Thrill

Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: Hell's Bells, Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long Yea so, in my mind, from the List so far, this album is the epitome of "Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll". Hard rock guitar, dripping with both explicit sexual imagery and references as well as sexual innuendo abound... and an assumed copious amount of drugs consumed to go along with the lifestyle. This album has 3 extremely popular tracks on it, which I think carry the album more than it should. Without those three tracks, it's meh, but there's no denying that opening to hell's bells as totally epic. All this being said, I don't like it more than Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath or Metallica. And finally, shoutout to my Australian coworker who tells me that Australians call AC/DC "Acca Dacca". I now call them "Acca Dacca". Deal with it.

Its ACDC

Cliched but it still rocks.

paar bekannte woe highway to hell oder back in black, hard rock

Duh. Five stars 💯

Amazing!!

This is the first time I've heard this album by myself and by choice. It rocks. I used to be team Iron Maiden, but I'm beyond that now. Another one to add to the vinyl collection.

A lot of the same but the singles are good

Party rock is in the hoooouse toniiiiight

I'm in between a 4 and 5. On one hand it is a rocking album and a huge comeback album after their lead singer died. On the other hand, they use like the same four chords for each song. I'll go 4.

A solid album with a lot of hard rock classics. Shoot to Thrill is an underrated track.

I thought I'd be grooving more to this one. Solid and all, but not quite as fun as Highway to Hell.

Has some classic arena rock anthems that will still be popular long after I'm gone. ACDC is not my favorite but obviously it's an album full of hits.

Loses a mark for Let Me Put My Love Into You; otherwise a banger.

great 40min song. How this is one of the best selling albums of all time is a mystery to me.

A bit repetitive but really what isn't? I am no fan and this album doesn't change my opinion. That being said who doesn't love to rock? This will definitely do it for you. 4 stars.

Listened to this in 8th grade during my random AC/DC phase. Looking forward to re-listening now some of the classics are just too good 4/5

Classic. I'm not always into hard work rock but love this.

Exceptional album by the legends and arguably their best, every song hits hard, energy is at full throughout the length of the album. Simply very good.

Got me into rock music

GEm!

Practically a Greatest Hits for AC/DC. Fun listen. 3.5/5

Most AC/DC albums have a handful of absolute bangers, and a handful of filler. On their first post-Bon Scott album, the band forgot to add any filler. Every songs on this one is a hard rock classic.

There is not much more I can say that hasn't already been said about this record. So classic!

Wait. All of these songs were on the SAME ALBUM?! Talk about in the pocket. 5 Stars ... essential. I can't believe it took me until now to hear the Creedence parallels.

it was decent Maybe revisit since nothing felt like filler

I can't stand AC/DC. It's music for musically challenged alcoholics.

4.5/5

This album proved to me that I can like rock and roll, which is ultimately a good thing even if I wasn't all that into its shrieking and screaming and whatever else. Some crazy riffs in here as well; favorite songs are "Back In Black" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution"

The only good songs on here in my opinion are Hell's Bells and You Shook Me All Night Long. Most of the other songs are essentially cheesy yelling and shrieking combined with overly dramatic guitar rifts.

Ich kann es nicht erklären. Ich habe die alten Platten von AC/DC gerne gehört. Mit Back in Black war bei mir der Ofen aus. Ob es am neuen Sänger lag? Ich denke, ich bin einfach konservativ. Mit Genesis ging es mir genauso. Phil Collins als Sänger - vorbei.

Es ac/dc, hi ha cançons que ja coneixia. Pero es un grup i un tipis de rock que no me mata.

Much preferred it to Highway to Hell - still a bit samey

Never been a rock person but I do believe this is a classic. Very fun listening

That's an easy five. Stellar debut for Brian Johnson. Hell's Bells, You Shook Me..., Rock and Roll... These three in particular are magnificent. The title track ain't half bad either. But there isn't a bad track on the album. Hats off to Johnson for following such a legend - and measuring up to him.

I wish they had done more colors. Back in blue. Back in pink. Back in plaid....

One of the greatest rock albums of all time

Is there an album with more rock anthems? No. Would I listen to again? Absolutely.

No notes for the record. I saw them once in a smallish venue in Iowa, with some of my closest friends. During a blizzard. Epic.

Este álbum tiene tantos hits que debo haber escuchado la mayoría sin darme cuenta. es un álbum icónico del hard rock lleno de energía y un estilo formulaico sin apologías. La batería sostiene un beat sencillo, acentuando algunos golpes necesarios con los platillos, mientras el bajo sostiene líneas sobre la división tocadas con púa, para que las guitarras toquen sus riffs y solos por encima y el cantante trace sus letras (en general bastante machistas y carentes de mucha profundidad). Pero la cuestión es que la fórmula funciona, a la perfección. El sonido y la calidad del groove son excelentes. Y el hecho de que hayan encontrado un vocalista que pueda cantar con el timbre y la agresividad adecuada, saliendo del luto de la muerte de su cantante anterior para producir uno de los álbumes más vendidos del mundo, le da mucha significancia histórica. Si uno quiere escuchar 40 minutos de puro hard rock del bueno este álbum no falla en ningún aspecto, es, para lo que promete ser, de lo mejor que hay.

ac/dc rocks

Ok. Best in class, without a doubt. Losing Bon Scott would have stopped most bands, but not ACDC. This album is classic from track one to the end. Is it the impetus for Spinal Tap? Maybe. But who the fuck cares? When you want to crank it to 11. When you want misogynistic lyrics the girls at the party will sing along too, who are you plating on that turntable? Yes, I was a high school punk when it came out. And yes, it still spins at home at least once a week at Medicare age. And I'm not even a metalhead. Sometimes you just want power chords that shake your balls/ovaries. And the Young bro's deliver.

Meu primeiro album do acdc

This is in my top 10 albums of all time. I've listened to this more than almost any other album I have, other than some Beatles albums. I can play this entire album in my head.

Awesome album, brings back fond memories

not a hard rock fan but some great songs in there, and you can't beat those classics!

Yes, the lyrics are a bit misogynistic but it’s over 40 years old and was never about the lyrics. Every song is a banger, has to be 5/5.

- Boven mijn relatief hoge verwachtingen - 2 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 0 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM

This album is fully coded into my genome so I may not be the most unbiased opinion when I say it's why electricity was invented.

I’ve already made my feelings about AC/DC known: It’s tedious hard rock for people who chain-smoke, love Harleys and need something to listen to while they down Jack and Cokes at the bar. This was among the records I traded in after discovering Black Flag and the Sex Pistols in fifth grade. I’m surprised to discover that “Let Me Put My Love Into You” is a good song, in the vein of early Aerosmith (“Lord of the Thighs” comes to mind as similarly juvenile) or even Thin Lizzy. Yet I don’t need to hear the title track again, ever, and the rest is just a predictable, painful slog.

There's a world where this album reads like a Barry White ripoff, but shriekier, more guitary, and heavier on the sex-pest vibes.

The one to have from the brian johnson era.

What if the only reason why AC/DC is successful is because Angus Young sold his soul to the devil with the twist being that it only works in the School Boy Uniform? Also all your songs will sound exactly the same but somehow different. Just look at these tracks on here; It ain't even fair! 1. Hell's Bells 2. Shoot to Thrill The B SIDE!!! Back in Black You Shook Me.... Have a Drink on Me Shake a Leg Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution THATS THE B SIDE BLACK MAGIC FUCKERY nothing more nothing less. Just listen to Give Your Dog a Bone. Its so dumb, it's good. So cheesy. Oh and somehow they did this with a completely different singer because Bon Scott died from binge driinking. blackmagicfuckery The Devil makes the best music. Even though it all sounds the same. 4.5

surprisingly, it is better than i initially expected. there were at least some diversity and a couple of interesting things. yet, still a wife-beating boomer magazine type music 3.5

Hård kött och potatis boogie, Lite som ett platt Status Quo för neanderthalare på steroider. Visst det karaktäristiska riffet i "Hells bells" är faktiskt ett av rockhistoriens bästa det måste t.o.m. jag medge. Och att "You shook me..." är en härlig näven-i-luften stänkare efter en back Foster's är svårt att bortse ifrån. Men ett helt album fyllt med anskrämlig hes gapsång, klichéartad tuffhet, obefogade gitarrsolon och en IQ-nivå strax under en bortsprungen dingo, blir vansinnigt tröttsamt. Nej tack, vill jag ha boogie som är tuff på riktigt nog fan sätter jag på Jerry Lee Lewis "Live at the Star club" i så fall Ursvag tvåa

När man vill ha sina köttiga gitarriff till stadigt fyrtaktskomp och utan krusiduller, då gör AC/DC onekligen jobbet. Bäst när de drar ner tempot och går på tyngd. Som i inledande Hells bells, förstklassig rock och bästa spåret på skivan. Titelspåret måste också nämnas, en AC/DC-klassiker med all rätt. Och avslutande Rock’n’roll ain’t noise pollution. Som helhet blir det kanske lite likartat, men en stadig trea.

Det bästa med ett hårdrocksband som AC/DC är att de inte är hårdrock. Det här är bara rock med en jävla energi. Partymusik. Låtmaterialet är gediget. Stör mig en del på Johnsons sång, men inte så att det inte går att lyssna på.

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.

When I think of what rock music should sound like, the guitar tones from this album are the first thing that come to mind.

I always preferred AC/DC's stuff with Ben Scott as frontman, but this was a great introduction for Brian Johnson.

What a bunch of corn puffs. Hey, Hart high wants their pre-game music playlist back!

AC/DC is perfect for 30 second segments in movies and video games but terrible for 45 minutes of garbage rock

I have heard the singles on this album more time than I have ever wanted to, with the exception of You Shook Me - which is a great song. This is a very well made, clean sounding album. The problem is that every song is more or less like the song that preceded it. Maybe I am a snob but this is not nor will ever be to my taste even though I can appreciate the guitar licks and sound.

This might be the greatest rock album of all time. At least, the most notorious / impactful. It sounds cheesy because they built the model and were endlessly copied. But noone gets the distinct mix of pop style writing and catchy music that is LOUD. It is still stunning to this day that this was the first album after the death of Bon Scott.

This is like a greatest hits album

AC/DC really sat down, wrote like one or two songs tops, and proceeded to remake the same two songs over and over again for their career

was good

So many bangers on this album, so many awesome guitar pieces. Have a Drink On Me is one I haven’t heard in a long time and it’s incredible

One of the greatest intro song/title song combos. Fun listen. Easy to workout or get stuff done while listening. Obviously school of rock took a ton of inspiration from this album. Crazy to think they pulled this off after the death of their original lead singer

7/10 Solid

Maybe I was just exhausted cause I saw twenty one pilots yesterday, but this really just didn't hit at all. Obviously the hits are good, but it all just felt sort of annoying. I wanted to be listening to anything else the entire time. Favorites: Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long

It’s basic hard rock music for 14 year olds. The hits are legitimately quite good. The rest can be quiiiiite bad. In my mid teens I once listened to 4 hours of ACDC on a car trip. That was enough to last me 25 years. It was fun to revisit. It kind of pains me, but i think I need to 4 star this one.

Old man party vibes and I’m an old man

Merge de fundal

.....and in roars Brian Johnson......and also one of the bestselling metal albums of all time. Following the death of Bon Scott, it was hard to imagine the band capturing that lightning in a bottle twice. They certainly proved it to be possible with this one.

Rock n Roll at its finest

What's not to love?

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.

An absolute classic that knocks your socks off today.

Good old classic rock, a little too ROCK for my tastes but still classic

Great listen.

let me cut your cake with my knife

Great guitar. Enjoyable listen, but not an everyday album for me.

When I was a teenager I hated AC/DC because I guess I hated fun or something. Now that I’ve sat through a whole album I’m still not in love with it, but past me needed to chill out

I mean, what can one say? Is this the greatest rock album ever made? Quite possibly.

Good stuff

Why's this guy yelling at me!!? Honestly, I've never been a huge fan of these guys, but Back In Black is a hell of a rocking tune. This gets a 4.

➖For an AC/DC album it’s actually only decent ➕a decent AC/DC album still stands mile-high above the rest

This is one of the greatest albums of all time. What disappoints me in that since CDs and then streaming people who are hearing this for the first time don’t get the “magic” of having to flip the record or tape and experience side two. Something about that pause. Then pressing play and hearing those clicks to kick off back in black. This album is amazing and side two is pure magic. Maybe streaming services need an “album mode” tha breaks the album where it was broken on the original media. And then new artists could set up their releases in a similar manner and bring back curating the album. I’ve listened to this album recently so there was no need to put it on agin today. But I did. And it’s so great. 🤘🤘

Начинаем! Мой первый альбом AC/DC, который я полностью послушала btw. К каждому альбому я буду читать историю создания, текст песен и отзывы других людей. Альбом записан после смерти фронтмена Бона Скотта, является третьим самым продаваемым альбомом в истории. В списке RIAA "Back in Black" является четвёртым по популярности альбомом всех времён и народов. 1. Hells Bells - очень нравится инструментал, гитарка приятная. По вокальной части мне тяжело сказать, потому что я не любитель подобного рок-вокала, но и уши мне от него не сворачивает. Динамично, но не раздалбывающе, если не слушать на концерте - не минус, просто такое ощущение. 7,5/10 2. Shoot To Thrill - то же самое могу сказать про инструментал, в рок музыке он почти всегда хорош. Потрясти головой - хорошо, чуть более раздалбывает, потому что барабаны более яркие. Но гитарка в прошлом треке мне всё же понравилась больше. Замечаю, что на вокал в их песнях почти внимания не обращаю. 6,8/10 3. What Do You Do For Money Honey - хорошо перетекает из прошлого трека! Мгновенно добавила. Определённо песня на подвигаться, классная атмосфера. 9/10 4. Givin the Dog a Bone - тут я тоже особо много нового сказать не могу, с первого прослушивания мне тяжело выделить особенности в каждом треке. Я просто представляю, что на концерте эти песни звучали бы в сотню раз лучше. Фраза "Givin the dog a bone" прилипчивая. 7/10 5. Let Me Put My Love Into You - что-то чуть менее раздалбывающее и чуть более чилловое. Не могу сказать, что в полной мере чилловое лишь из-за особенностей техники вокала, но инструментал как раз более спокойный, если можно так выразиться. На послушать, пока едешь в машине. Гитарное соло с барабанами прекрасно. 7,1/10 6. Back In Black - заглавный трек альбома. С днём Дина Винчестера! Слышала этот трек раньше, безусловно, в "Сверхъестественном" в том числе, уже за это хочется поставить 10. Заедает, запоминающаяся мелодия. 10/10 7. You Shook Me All Night Long - весь альбом заставляет двигаться. Ничего особенного не выделила, просто хорошо. Удивлена, что это одна из визитных карточек группы. 6/10 8. Have a Drink on Me - звучит поинтереснее предыдущего. Вот бы выпить под неё в баре... 7,5/10 9. Shake a Leg - басы мои басы! Гитарное соло! 7/10 10. Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution - мне нравится текст! есть в нём что-то такое свободное, как когда ты на вечерок забываешь о своих проблемах, хорошее завершение альбома. 6,5/10 Эх, какие же вайбы Дина Винчестера... Все треки добавлены, качающий альбом. Впрочем, мне легко угодить в плане музыки, лишь бы продакшн был хороший - я всё могу слушать. Я тут не могу к чему-то сильно придраться, это хорошая группа и хороший альбом с понятной и простой подачей. По отдельности я бы песни особо не выделила, но цельно - годно, под определённое настроение особенно. Единственное, чем мне не нравится альбом - лирика. Скудная в каждом треке, лишь за это можно снизить до 4 звёзд, но весь кайф тут в инструментале, а не в тексте, и тем не менее, лично мне это чуть-чуть подпортило впечатление. Секс, виски, рок-н-ролл и т.д. и т.п., прям стереотипный альбом, что и неудивительно. Он базовый и бессмертный. Я не могу сравнить с Боном Скоттом, но Брайан Джонсон просто сделал то, что должен. Опять таки, на вокальную часть в таком жанре всем всё равно. Но приятно знать, что нового вокалиста хорошо приняли. Самое главное саунд. А саунд хорош.

Power rock!

Pretty iconic. Raspy voice, instantly know who it is and what they’re about.

Es un buen álbum sin embargo no lo tendría en mi colección personal

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?

Legendary

Meg. I knew the words to at least half the songs; not by choice. His voice is irritating after maybe the 3rd song. 3/5

Honestly didn't think I'd enjoy this that much as I'm not a huge fan of Brian Johnsons vocals but it's a banger of a rock album. Makes me want to watch School of Rock and makes me nostalgic for a time I never experienced!

My parents’ music. Would be a lot more badass if I hadn’t heard it so many times

Supi dupi

This is the party album for outdoor summer keggers. It's loud and raucous and perfect for a night of drunken revelry.

Back in Black is a certified classic. Does it carry the entire album? ...kinda. Nothing else is particularly remarkable to me, but it's still a fun album.

I don’t expect this to be a popular opinion, but I have always despised the band. It amazes me that their terrible sounding singer died and they managed to replace him with someone that sounded just like him. This would have been my first one star album out of the 163 that I have rated so far if it weren’t for the fact that the album opens with “Hell’s Bells.” Great opening song for the album, especially considering it was the first release after the original singer died. Two stars. Not a fan of mindless crotch rock.

It's an ac/DC album. What's not to ac/DC about it?

3.5

Amazing Great guitar solos Classuc

Rocks, ultimately I think my brain hears all ac/dc the same.

Extremely boring, vocals weren't good at all but at least the hits were pretty good

4.3

Top ten in my list

These songs rock non-stop, but like even the band's fans will acknowledge, AC/DC really only has one song. It's a good song, but it makes the non-stop rocking a bit much. The album starts well with "Hell's Bells," which is the best song on the album because of its guitar riff. The songs that have longer riffs like it are the best ones, while the ones with shorter, choppier guitar riffs don't flow very well. "Let Me Put My Love Into You" tries to imitate "Hell's Bells" and ends up sounding too much like it. Maybe every song but the title track uses the title as the chorus, and this only works well on a few, like "Shoot to Thrill." I don't mind the vocals (they fit the songs well!), but the lyrics are undoubtedly obnoxious. All in all, while I can't deny that the album rocks, there's only so much of it that I want to listen to at a time.

Great intro, the AC/DC sound is relentless throughout the album. A few crowd pleasers, but the overall feel gets monotonous.

recht eintönig nicht so kreativ immer gleicher sound aber es geht

Good album with some classic bangers. Songs all pretty similar, growls/whiny voice of lead singer is a bit grating

it is the AC/DC we all love. clasic album. for someone who likes rock etc would love this album.

nice bells and riff. It’s very iconic. Also a formula, a bit repetitive. But fun and the songs are not too long.

Timeless, fun and solid. AC/DC seldom disappoints.

Cracker Barrel this quarter.

They have 2 albums on the list. 1 would have been enough. They're basically the same. I don't like this album very much. It's a couple of good songs and a couple of bad ones. I can't stand the singing. Favorite song: Hell's Bells.

Not my cup of tea. I can imagine very limited scenarios in my life where I would want this music playing. It is cohesive as a project though with innuendo and euphemism applied consistently. The drumming and guitar work are steady and strong with high production quality throughout. Vocal performance also very good.

it's AC/DC

Well, you get what you want from this album. It's AC/DC all the way down.

I am not a big AC/DC fan but it’s a solid record with some proper hits. But it just all sounds kind of similar.

Great album. 4/5

The best album of AC/DC in my opinion.

My god do AC/DC lyrics always leave a lot to be desired. I guess it was standard practice to have sexpest lyricism in the late 70s and early 80s but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it !!! There's a few alright songs on here, it's generally pretty lame though.

It's a classic album

Like Aerosmith but with better songs

The lead track would be worthy of led Zeppelin, the rest more run of the mill. Vocals unrefined.

I love all the instrumentals but hate all the vocals. If I could turn the vocals down, I could quite easily put something much better on top of it. What I’m trying not to say is. I think we should junk all the existing vocal masters and that I am happy to put myself forward as the new singer of AC/DC - I think their fans would love it.

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

De facto quintessential sound of hard rock

4.5

People like to drag this album because it’s overplayed, but it’s one solid gold hit after another. Sometimes this is just what you want to listen to.

Brian Johnson taking over the vocals but an otherwise unchanged formula of heavy blues, crunching riffs, and lyrics that would not pass muster these days, barely managing it 45 years ago, I imagine. Still ....

104/1001 AC/DC - Back In Black Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ This is pure nostalgia for me today! I played this and Highway To Hell to death as a young teenager, so have plenty of fond memories of the time. More than anything this is just a fun record and showed that Brian Johnson could step up and fill Bon Scott's shoes after his unfortunate passing.
