Classic

Yeah it's fucking awesome. All gas no fluff.

This album reminds me of my dad. We would listen to this album on road trips sometimes. He had the CD in his car. 1. Hells Bells- Really like the guitar riff. Like that the album starts slow with the bells ringing 2. Shoot to Thrill - I like the beat. Don’t really know this one. 3. What Do You Do for Money Honey - eh. 4. Giving the Dog a Bone - I remember my dad playing this one because of the title and chorus, but the actual song does not stick out in my mind. 5. Let Me Put My Love Into You - I appreciate that this song sounds different from the rest of the album so far. They were starting to sound a bit too similar. But the chorus is bad. 6. Back In Black - hell yeah. A classic for a reason. The second the song starts, you’re like “oof. Yeah.” And nodding your head. Kinda a brilliant song. Guitar riff and drums are killer. Sick guitar solo. 7. You Shook Me All Night Long - another classic. Very fun. Sometimes I forget and think it’s a KISS song lol. Great chorus. 8. Have a Drink On Me - a pretty solid song. 9. Shake a Leg - crazy guitar solo. Good for them. A little Led Zeppelin-y in the best way. 10. Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution - love the way the song starts. Don’t love the chorus. Fave song: Back In Black Album rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.9

Its AC/DC nothing else to say, niceee!

1.hells bells,a clasic song de lo invatat aproape toti la chitara,aproape nostalgic cu un intro clasic o piesa care a schimbat cu totul rockul-10/10(pentru ce o insemnat pt rock) 2.shoot to trill-un intro clasic acdc care se repeta aproape tot cantecul,dar totusi e catchy dar putin prea repetitiva adica dupa acel solo vine refrenul si dupa as fi lasat piesa asa ,adica a facut un build up pentru un mini solo care e aproape refren -7/10(pt ca nu am rabdare sa ascult pan la capat) 3.what do you do for money honey-un refren interesant si un riff interesant chiar daca e asemanator cu orice altu de la acdc e un song interesant,refrenul chiar e fain si clasic acelei perioade si un solo marca angus -8/10(prea lunga) 4.giving the dog a bone-aceasi structura se incepe cu un riff si se repeta,iar refrenul e cam mid si repetitiva piesa-6/10(prea lunga si nu are ceva care sa imi atraga atentia) 5.let me put my love into you-rifful e catchy i really like it si e unu din cantecele alea de e cool sa se repete aceasi chestie si refrenul e fain ,o piesa surprinzator de buna,chiar catchy si soloul suna interesant si funny -10/10(placut surprins si as reasculta o) 6.back in black-prea clasica prea mema ca chitarist ,dar cu siguranta o piesa care a schimbat multe in rock -8/10(am ascultat o de prea multe ori si o stiu la chitara) 7.you shook me all night long-aproape acelasi riff ca in back in black si highway to hell vocea nu e nici ea diferita,dar refrenul e cathcy -7/10(refrenul) 8.have a drink on me-clasic rock n roll riff repetitiv clasic acdc chiar un song interesant inca unu care mo surprins realtiv placut dar nu lfl ca let me put my love into you,dar o piesa asemanatoare doar ca ig ca nu o avut acelasi impact -6/10 un song interesant 9.shake a leg,un song in care vocea sa iasa in evidenta la inceput dupa rifful acela care e interesant ,te face sa dansezi si sa dai din cap ,dar nu stiu daca as reasculta piesa -6/10(nu mo dat pe spate rifful) 10.rock n roll aint noise pollution-un song cu siguranta clasic si care a impresionat ,si chiar a good song cu un riff catchy si cool un song care are un mesaj cu adv de retinut pentru acea perioada,si sa fim seriosi chiar mo facut sa vibeuiesc cu un solo clasic-10/10 IDEE GENERALA ALBUM este cu siguranta un album clasic de rock n roll si chiar daca se repeta foarte mult aceasi structura la songuri si poate ca nu toate riffurile is catchy cu siguranta este un album clasic pe care l as reasculta cand am chef de niste rock n roll

De los álbumes más importantes de la historia del rock. Encapsula a la perfección el hardrock

Banger after banger. A vibe when you’re in the mood for AC/DC, which is almost never—but not never!

Carried by its huge singles, even if some of the non-single tracks lack a bit of punch.

"Let Me Put My Love Into You" is a Spinal Tap song if I’ve ever heard one.

This album feels like tasting a charging cable just after you unplug it in front of your whole family but you don’t care about them you are just trying to figure out what’s this taste

Hell yeah I can listen to this LOUD. Just some good rock

The hits are worth the 4 stars

Solid rock album! Enjoyed this one. So many hits: You Shook Me All Night Long, Back in Black, Hells Bells. The rest of the album was good but Givin the Dog a Bone was too repetitive for me.

Know it. Like it. Upvote. Moving on.

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.

gostei bastante 8/10

Timeless.

Solid rock album with some classic tracks.

popular but not really my vibe eh

Makes me want to smoke Winnie blues and drive a truck

A classic.

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

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

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.

How the hell do I vote

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

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.

Great album, a fun listen

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.

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

The hits here are undeniable

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.

No surprises here - solid guitar riffs

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

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

Fun and cheesy

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Rock excellence.

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.

Solid Rift based rock, classic!

Classic ACDC. Fuerte al diome.

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...

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.

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.

Its ACDC

Cliched but it still rocks.

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.

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.

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.

Got me into rock music

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

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

ac/dc rocks

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

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

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

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

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

Great listen.

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

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

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.

Legendary

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!

Supi dupi

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

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.

Great album. 4/5

The best album of AC/DC in my opinion.

It's a classic album

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.

An obvious classic. It married a hard rock sound, with actual tunes and manages to have fun with it at the same time. The light and shade means that you can actually recognise and enjoy specific tunes and the voice is fun without being grating.

Lots of bangers. Great vocals.

It takes real talent to write a whole album of songs in only two(ish) keys that's this good. AC/DC make up for only knowing a handful of basic chords by producing some of the biggest, boldest riffs known to man. What they lack in diversity of musical palette or depth of lyrics they make up for in sheer energy. Banger after banger. If they had been able to include a single interesting chord change this would be a 5 star album.

Great album.

Rock classic. They have the formula, they use it, and they do so as best as it can be done. The riffs are bombproof. The hooks enormous. Not a ton of range, but a blast to listen to.

Hard to imagine a better opening song than “Hell’s Bells.” I’m teaching Macbeth right now, and it would play perfectly in the Porter scene! The album is tight and rocking (of course). I’m no AC/DC fan but considered giving it a 5.

Quite the solid hard-rock album with several hits. Lyrics ain't much, and some songs sound similar, but hey, it definitely works. 8/10

Classic rock at it's best

Lots of hits

Just a really solid, iconic record all around. Super fun, tightly packed. Every time I listen to AC/DC I have to remind myself that it’s not Jack Black singing

Классическая пластинка AC/DC, несущее в себе всё заряд энергии и драйва. Один из любимых у этой группы. 7,5 из 10.

Is this a bit of a safe pick? Sure. Do I care? Not at all. I'm fully willing to admit that I have quite the soft spot for "basic dad rock," and AC/DC might be the epitome of "basic dad rock." Back in Black is basically just 10 straight songs of rock and roll and that's really all it needs to be. Of course, there are interesting things to discuss regarding this album. For one, there's the history. The last AC/DC album I discussed, Highway to Hell, was their last album with their original vocalist, Bon Scott. Well, after his death, the band recruited Brian Johnson to sing from that point on, starting with this album here, Back in Black. I liked Bon Scott's vocals well enough on Highway, but I do prefer Brian as a vocalist myself. Yeah it's kind of funny to imagine these songs as Toad from the Mario games instead, but I think Brian's voice fits the vibe this band needs. The band may effectively have one style of song, but they play that style really well. Something something "one kick 10000 times." You get the idea. The riffs on display here are strong. I mean, there's a reason why songs like the title track and "You Shook Me All Night Long" are as iconic as they are. It's because they're good songs. The energy here is strong, and that's commendable. The album is a little repetitive, but there are stand out moments. Obviously, the two songs I mentioned earlier are classics, and "Hells Bells" is actually a really cool opener that serves as a fitting tribute to Bon Scott. That's neat. The writing could've aged better, but it could've aged a lot worse. The pacing is perfect for the album. This album knows what it wants to be, lives the life it needs to, and sells 50 million copies doing it. Back in Black is really good at being the album it needs to be. 4/5. I'm 2/3s of the way done now!

8.20, työmatka, koss, qobuz klassikko se on

Dewey finn would be proud. Lot of ac-dc hits sounding exactly like ac-dc.

Klassiker.

rock. energy. party.

This is the album that I measure all other hard rock albums against. Every song has something on it.

Let us Rock !

Made me feel butch

It’s classic. Not my music taste but it can’t be denied.

Музыка: 8/10 Разнообразие: 5/10 Тематика и вайб: 9/10 Цепляемость (отдельные песни зашли): 6/10 Реиграбельность (можно ли рандомно врубить на фон): 8/10 Итог: 7.2

Timeless rock album with 3 classics, needs to be considered one of their best if not their best album

Not a huge AC DC guy. It’s kinda loud and abrasive. That being said, I can’t knock their musical chops and the uniqueness of the vocals. There are a few popular anthems on this album that stand out, primarily due to the guitar and bass riffs imo. Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long, in particular. The part of the album between Hells Bells and Back in Black kinda just sounds the same. Then the album gets good with some really great guitar riffs. If you need to run through a brick wall, queuing up this album might help. Ending on Rock and Roll is Noise Pollution is incredibly hard - bonus points. Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, but closer to 4.

This album contains a firework of guitar-riffs from start to finish plus a bunch of their greatest hits. A few weaker numbers cost them the five stars for me. 4,5

One hell of a song. So good they recorded it ten times and called it an album! I kid. Kind of. Simple is just better sometimes.

Volvemos después de unos días de descanso a éste reto, ahora con una banda y un disco clásicos. Debo decir que así como otras bandas históricas, con AC/DC también sólo he escuchado temas sueltos. ¿Eso es algo común? Cuando algo se termina volviendo tan sacro, ¿no espanta gente? Es probable. Pero pese a ello, no debe ser un freno que nos detenga a indagar. Álbum lleno de rock standars, las canciones están en la misma sonoridad y mantienen la escucha bien arriba. Música para entrenar y para subir testorenas y masculinidades. Hasta mañana.

Meh... I don't really care hia voice

I listened to this while running, and it made me feel like the focus of a training sequence in a shitty movie. That was so much fun I've just got to give a positive review

I really liked this! Only was familiar with the classic hits off this album but I would definitely listen again.

Big memorable riffs, fun listen

AC/DC rock! Maybe their music is sometimes a bit samey, but who cares, it still makes me wanna run a marathon and get laid.

Great album

I mean, it’s classic Acca Dacca! Like this is quintessential Australian rock and it still goes so hard. The riffs (like Back in Black) are unbelievably iconic. My only reservation is that some of the lyrical content (like Giving the Dog a Bone and Let Me Put My Love Into You) is pretty damn nasty. (4.5 stars)

Hell yeahhhhhhhhhhhh 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Album is a classic Favourite songs Hells Bells, Back in Black and Rock n Roll ain't noise pollution

A classic. Nothing new or surprising here because I've heard all of these songs a million times but still good.

Classic

Rock and roll baby!

Absolute banger. Most bands would fold after losing their lead vocalist, AC/DC came back with this

pretty good

Sin duda los AC/DC son un grupazo, su metal es genial y me la pasé bomba escuchando el Back in Black en una de mis caminatas nocturnas. Pero tengo un temita con AC/DC: no consigo conectar del todo con la voz de Johnson. Me gusta, pero como que su agudeza termina cansándome un tanto. Una vez alguien me dijo que parecía que escuchaba cantar a Chabelo, y ese es un dato que es imposible borrar de la mente y no imaginárselo rockeando durísimo.

No one out there sounds like AC/DC, and this album is so full of loud, raucous hits, it's sort of crazy. This is the gold standard of hard rock. Solid.

Took at 2 hour bike ride yesterday (nbd) but started with Arhitecture and Morality, then Brothers and closed with Back in Black. For the last album I felt like I could bike 1000 miles at 100 mph. ROCKING out. Fun as fuck. I think I prefer Bon Scotts voice and general vibe, but these may be AC/DC's best all around songs. They have ONE speed and its rockin. How do they lose their singer then sell 50M records? Was Johnson contributing significantly to the song writing?

I don’t think I’ve ever turned down an AC/DC song. There’s a quote about writing that I love that it something like ‘talent is being able to be versatile, but true genius can only be itself’ (not, i searchdd for this online and can’t find it anywhere, maybe someone just said it to me once in conversation, who knows). Like Hemingway, like Pynchon, like Berhnard, Ac/dc has only one style, but by limiting them, this style makes them singular. Fond memories of Sean and I covering ‘you shook me all night long’ as 12 year old virgins at a church sponsored battle of the bands.

A little one note but it’s a damn good note.

Rock 'n Roll at its finest! Every song on this album is a hit, and for good reason.

Klasyk. Jeden z tych zespołów, które zna każdy. Nigdy nie była to moja ulubiona muzyka, ale doceniam te mocniejsze brzmienia i odważny wokal. Co mam powiedzieć? Nic zaskakująco, po prostu dobry rock. 7.5/10

I love their energy, but why do all the songs sound the same?

Album No. 0020 on my list. Finally an album that I've completely known before it came up here! This is of course a classic and one most important and best-selling albums of all time. It has some iconic songs on it ("Hells Bells", "Back in Black", "You Shook Me All Night Long") as well as my personal AC/DC favorite ("Shoot to Thrill"). Great, straightforward sound, classic AC/DC tunes and I indeed like Brian Johnson better than Bon Scott as AC/DC's singer. That being said, there are not many outstanding songs there beyond the ones that I've already mentioned. No bad ones, not at all, but as always with AC/CD: they have a certain recipe. So all in all - great album, but few incredible songs. 4/5 stars!

4/5 this is the hardest shit ever made and now it's dentist music

good timing for this one

Like Led Zeppelin from concentrate… really great stuff. Not all amazing songs but definitely some all timers. 4.5

4/5. This is a mostly fantastic rock album. I remember being younger and completely rejecting this because it was too "radio-friendly" or "simple." The riffs go so hard and although Johnson's vocals can be a little grating at times, there is a punk sensibility to it that kind of bypasses the need to care. The main downside is the very aged (and let's be real, not great for the time either) lyrics that go way over the line of what is okay to sing about. It is very un-punk to even joke about disrespecting consent and some of the lyrics are not sex-positive, just kind of gross, there is a difference. Glad the hits are mostly okay, even the line "She told me to come but I was already there" in Shook Me All Night is hilarious and the type of lyrics that hold up because it's a self-roast. The guitar solos and riffs truly save some of these songs. Either way, I do think this is a necessary listen but can't say it's my favorite, still a great front to back for the most part and deserves higher than average score. Best Song: Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, Hells Bells

In the world of iconic rock albums, this is certainly near the top. While you know this album as AC/DCs explosive big release, don't forget, this was the 1st release after the loss of their legendary lead singer, Bon Scott. To have this album be the 1st with a brand new singer is incredible. The tolling of the bell at the beginning of the album is the perfect start to this classic rock ball-breaker of an album. Rather than focus on the songs everyone (should) knows by heart (almost 2 BILLION listens on Spotify for Back and Black and You Shook Me), try Shoot to Thrill, Have a Drink on Me and Shake a Leg for incredible guitar licks and epic arrangements that you won't forget. Long live ACDC and Angus Young. Nobody did what they do better than them.

Loved it! Big AC/DC fan.

This album has stayed with me for years.

A lot of thier songs sound so similar, I've forgotten. Still good

Let Me Put My Love Into You

Actually amazing. I can see how innovative It was in its time and honestly, It has aged like fine wine. Some weak points aside (Givin The Dog A Bone was not that good tbh), its an amazing record. 85/100 in my records

good album

Another band with a lead singer with a silly/ distinct voice. I like this album a lot more than I thought i would, but his voice is so cartoonish!! The opening bells sound was definitely sampled by Daft Punk,

Enjoyed this quite a lot. Feels like it almost there musically but not quite perfect. Potentially could be criticised for being rather samey but most albums seem to be in this bracket.

I really enjoy this, catchy songs and riffs and some fun guitar solos. His voice does start to grate after a while though

85% Best: Hells Bells; Shoot to Thrill; Back In Black; You Shook Me All Night Long Must-Hear? I mean, this is Hard Rock 101. Sure

7/10…hard rock

The first one on the list that i recognized and have heard a few of the songs! Honestly an iconic album!! Golden classic rock! Pumped me up and I always can appreciate the instrumentals in an 80s rock song!

Good album. Enjoyable all the way through although a couple of songs were a bit muddy on the vocals. But anything that starts with hells bells is going to be good.

Although they are all pretty similar, there’s too many bangers too ignore.

🤘 Once again, not my usual but I get it.

Classic album, but not really what I like

AC/DC are like that factory employee that comes to work regularly, does a good job, is consistently producing quality materials, but I really wouldn't want to have to watch him work all the time. If I owned the factory, I would walk the floor and occasionally stop to see that he is still doing the same quality work, and then move on to other more important things. With that said, this was sort of the first day on the job for AC/DC with the new singer and man did they start off with a bang, or really more of a bong... or series of bongs. "Hell's Bells" with that slow churning but escalating guitar riff just might be the best hard rock opening tune to any album ever. I remember dropping the needle on this bad boy (yes, I am old) and holy shit...

Real rock hard with your cock hard music

Same as it ever was, which is fantastic!

Cons: they sound the same every album Pros: they sound the same every album

Love it 4/5

☆4.7 言わずと知れた名盤。名曲・ヒット曲揃い。 特にHellsBellの鐘の音から始まるイントロが痺れる。 今回、聞き直してみてコーラスの入った曲があることに気がついて、 新鮮な気持ちになった。

Gives me flashbacks of being 14/15 and trying to learn Back in Black on guitar. Good energy album.

Great heavy rock album. No complaints, no skips.

could i write poetry to this? y

Obviously a Classic. We all know the story. The hits have all been played ad nauseum on Classic Rock radio to the point that we know all the words and can air guitar the riffs with remarkable accuracy, whether we like it or not. Known neither for their breadth or depth, AC/DC is instantly recognizable as an unchanging, unsubtle, unstoppable force. My preference leans toward the earlier Bon Scott-fronted material (the "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" album in particular), but it really doesn't matter. AC/DC is AC/DC and always will be nothing more or less than AC/DC.

I had to have been in the right mood, because this hit suuuuper hard

So I'm a big Bon Scott AC/DC fan. Loved pretty much every album that they put out with Bon. So, when I first heard You Shook Me All Night Long, I -KNEW- it was AC/DC and it sounded like AC/DC, but the lead singer wasn't Bon and it took me a while to really warm up to Brian Johnson. Since I've gotten a bit older and more mature with my music, I've grown to appreciate Brian Johnson as lead singer for AC/DC and basically they wouldn't have been a very good band without him. I like the album, but none of Johnson's vocal riffs will ever come close to Bon's ability. Sorry, not sorry. Also, this is what started the whole, "Every AC/DC album sounds alike" trend. And, I can't disagree. It's got some bangers for sure though, and I enjoy hearing "You Shook Me All Night Long" on the bar jukebox once a week, maybe more. 3.55/5 stars = 4 on this scale.

Clásico entre clásicos. Poderosísima voz de Brian Johnson en la nueva formación de uno de los mejores grupos de la historia. 7/10

As dad rock goes, this is about as good as it gets

Wouw.. A super album, and a rare ocassion where continuing with a new lead singer is possible. Although Bon Scott was iconic, Brian Johnson is delivering strong vocals, and that is on top of some of AC/DCs best tunes. Epic!

1. Hells Bells - 10 Great sound. Guitar sounds amazing, including the solo in the bridge which is just excellent. The intertwined percussions on the drums sounds excellent. The lyrics are words you'd absolutely belt out along to when listening. Outstanding opening track. 2. Shoot to Thrill - 9 Another great sound. Bridge is really weak on the track but the opening 2-3 minutes are freaking excellent. The lyrics in the chorus is what really carries the track, along with the phenomenal drums. Guitar in the outro is another highlight. 3. What Do You Do For Money Honey - 9 Verses are great on this track. More great guitar and drum sound that encompasses what classic rock is. Solo in the bridge is the best of the 3 tracks so far. 4. Giving The Dog A Bone - 4 Guitar and drums are great but the track is lyrically way way too repetitive and completely uninspiring. 5. Let Me Put My Love Into You - 8 The choruses are alright but it's another exquisite guitar solo in the bridge. Enjoy the first verse a lot as well. Overall a decent song. 6. Back in Black - 11 Normally, I would penalize a song for being this repetitive but this is such a classic and the rifs, the solos, the drums are so legendary and iconic. It's just an all-time great track. 7. You Shook Me All Night Long - 10 Great verses and an even better sing-a-long classic of a chorus. Guitar sounds amazing between the lines of the choruses. Drums sound brilliant with the tempo they upkeep. Solo again in the bridge is one of the best on the album. 8. Have A Drink On Me - 10 Guitar sounds amazing in the intro and the build up is just sublime. The first verse is particularly enjoyable as well. Overall, a great track. 9. Shake A Leg - 8 Instrumentally I really enjoy this take but lyrically I find it a bit of a pass over track. It's not anything phenomenal. It's a good track if you like AC/DC's sound and you can enjoy it for that, but outside of that it's just another track on the album. 10. Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution - 7 It's got a great ending and I love the message of the song. Instrumentally it's okay. Lyrically it's a big average is all. Certainly not the best thing on the album but not a bad track to end it on either. Average Rating: 7.80 Adjusted to a 5-Point Scale: 3.90 Rounded Up: 4 Stars

This was pretty good! Classic for sure. I only saved 2 songs so 4/5 stars it is.

✊🏻👻😈🧟‍♂️👯‍♂️🕴🏻💅🏻👅👹☠️💀

the most classic of classic rock

I'm supposed to rate this highly as an Australian, but I always found this AC/DC record to be extremely overrated. Highway to Hell is their magnum opus in my eyes, despite this record being immensely more popular. What I did appreciate about this record is the deep cuts. I found the non-hits to be the best parts of this album. Maybe that's because I've heard to death every hit from this record that I generally just don't want to listen to them anymore. Back In Black ESPECIALLY. Let Me Put My Love Into You was definitely a highlight here, even though I'm pretty sure the song is about cum. Anyways, this album is still really good & still a classic, I just don't think it's nearly on the same level as Highway To Hell. Really glad to see both albums get some appreciation on here though. Favourites: Let Me Put My Spunk Into You, Shake A Leg

AC/DC’s first album following the death of Bon Scott and in my opinion, is the groups best showcase in their style of exhilaratingly stupid Hard Rock which has blessed the speakers of Makita bluetooth site radios across Australia for over 4 decades. I would say my biggest fault with the album isn’t it being front or back loaded, the first two thirds of the album are actually pretty well spread out. but rather that the last few songs just aren’t up to snuff with the rest of the album, outside of review purposes I don’t think I’d be too interested in listening past you shook me all night long.

Tricky for me to review this with ACDC nostalgia goggles. I learned how to play guitar with several songs from this album when I was young. I bought their greatest hits CD, and every track from it has been seared into my memory. I’m still fond of them, but I don’t listen to them often anymore and some of their songs are quite corny to me now. The lyrics can be too repetitive within the songs themselves. Solid guitar work throughout. All of the instrumentals are on point. Brian Johnson is about as good a replacement lead singer gets, and I like his vocal talent on this album. Have a drink on me was probably the best track I hadn’t heard before. Wall to wall dudes rock songs Highlights: Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black

ACDC are a band you can rate the albums of based on proportion of hit tracks. Back in Black has a solid 5/10 recognisable tracks, and the filler is listenable. The Young’s always put in a solid effort on the instrumentals, and seeing as this was their first showing since Bon Scott went out like a true blue Australian HERO, Brian Johnson does a good job stepping into those vomit speckled shoes.

A seminal album by any measure. Its only weakness is that so many of the tracks have been overplayed to the point they’ve almost become parodies of themselves. Which, I guess, is one proof of excellence.

Muy bueno, la biblia del hard rock

Escucharlo en el auto te da ganas de cometer delitos leves: Chocar 2 ciclistas o pasar un semáforo en amarillo Buen disco

Rock and roll. Always recognizable. Fun ride today!

Need to be in the right mood for it, as it is ACDC but still pretty good.

It doesn't matter how many times I listen to this album, I will always be surprised when I remember that Shake a Leg exists (right before I skip it)

Repetitive and I don't like his voice, BUT it accomplishes what it should: \m/\m/

Classic

I got Back in Black on the 4th of July. These Australians made the most American freakin’ album of all time. No more appropriate album exists for this day.

Milestone log 5: Day 500! WOO! Almost at the halfway point! I love music so much, this is really a gift to humanity. I recently got the book for my birthday, it's a pretty good book but the commentary seems like it's lacking depth a bit. I will make it to 1089... wonder if another book is on the horizon?

Another all timer! 4 stars. because the lyrics range from sketchy to dated.

pas mal

Another classic and maybe unsurprisingly the thirstiest album I’ve ever listened to (and I’ve listened to most of the ZZ Top catalog).

If humans went into heat, this is what they would listen to

Back In Black is an absolute classic. Hells Bells, Shoot to Trill, the title track are legendary rock albums that will be played in arena until the end of time. An impressive achievement coming off the heels of the death of their previous lead singer. An unpopular opinion is that I do think there is filler in the middle of album before closing with one of my favourite songs ever, Rock n’ Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution, something I’ve been trying to explain to my girlfriend for 5 years. 8.4/10

Iconic

Do a lot of AC/DC songs sound similar? Yeah. Does it matter when they often sound like bangers? Sometimes. Are their multiple incredible hits on here? Hell yeah.

Good album

Very solid rock album with straight bangers throughout. Does get a bit repetitive but we move.

Used to sound really hard and edgy when I was young but now seems very mainstream! Great album though even if it suffers a bit from overplaying especially here in Australia.

No memory of this concert in 1996 in Austin

Classic 🤘

The greatest collection of thinly-veiled metaphors ever put to vinyl! This is an essential album in the world of hard rock and there aren't many records that embody denim jackets and warm beers standing next to your Camaro than this one. Let's be real...is there a greater rock groove than on the title track? With this full listen, much of it outside of the megahits doesn't stand up like it used to, but still very deserving to be on the 1,001 list.

Silly fun.

Like Metallica this album was like yeah ive absolutely heard all this before. Liked it better than Metallica though!

This one is a bit like Green Onions by Booker T & The 3.0 AVGs but maybe a step better in that yep it’s a classic rock record through and through. I’m sure every song is great. But still, the title track is the main one I actually jump to and I wouldn’t mind if the 9 other songs were deleted and Back In Black was on here 10 times such is the awesomeness of it. Low 4 because at least it generally rocks even if a bit bleh.

Great, classic album. Giving it 4.5*, but can't quite round up. Brian Johnson's vocals are grating to me for a whole album, even though he's great at singing that way. Also, similar comment for the rest of the album musically: if you like it, you'll get plenty of it, but it's all fairly similar. Still, lots of classics that really do deserve to be called classic.

Tribute til tidligere forsanger i AC/DC Bon SCott. i stedet for at splittes tog de Brian johnson ind og så lavede de sgu en af verdens bedste rock albums. Det er det anden mest sælgende album nogensinde. inspirerede guns n roses, nirvana, metallica og mange andre.

So much energy and heart! There's no nuance or subtlety, of course, but you don't always need them, especially with rock and roll!

Solid. Straight up rock AC/DC style.

Quality hard rock. Nothing fancy but very reliable

As much as this album is a sort of rebirth following the great and tragic loss of their previous lead singer Bon Scott and it is arguably their last truly great album (not that the ones that followed are bad by any measure). This album is pure fun and what astounds me the most is their classic groove that many have unsuccessfully tried to emulate. It is here in full glory alongside the unique and spicy guitar work by the Young brothers. The lyrics are a bit cringe at times but with the album like this, it may even work in its favor. Brian Johnson is young and ferocious here and while he lacks some of Bon's personality and attitude, he perfectly assumes his spot without being the exact carbon copy.

Undeniably catchy with some iconic songs but it becomes a bit samey. Big, loud and basic but it works. Music made for Roadtrip Action-Comedy movies. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.

Banger after banger after banger

Surprisingly enjoyed this. I thought it would be repetitive but I see why it’s one of the best albums of all time

Satisfying rock music and catchy songs, the lesser-known tracks are still fun too

AC/DC, great fun, good music, high-energy.

Shout out to Jack Black for putting me on AC/DC when I was a kid. This album was on repeat in my elementary days and really expanded my view of rock music.

I had Tom Waits yesterday, and ACDC have basically the opposite thing to him, I don't think from a technical standpoint they're very good. Songs are really formulaic and in many regards quite samey. However, it somehow just still works and kicks so much ass you just don't care. Fun listen.

I enjoyed it, loved the bangers more than the complete album. I can definitely see why it’s so popular.

The fact that they came out with this after Bon Scott died with a new lead singer is amazing in itself. Relentlessly rocky,noisy, simple but standing up to time. 4.5/5

hells bells isch halt ikonisch, gute lied S ZWEITMEISTVERCHAUFTE ALBUM givin the dawg a bone ohh stimmt let me put my love into you (gaanz konische titel) het sooo e geili gitarre back in black kenntmer au megaa YEAH YOUUUU SHOOJ ME AAAALL NIGHT LONG definitig eis vo ihrne beste lieder joo de rest isch für mich rifach guete hardrock, was mier eifach nöd megaaaa entspricht es 4i hets aber verdient, au wenn ich glauub highway to hell glaub lieber gha han

Classic but only like the main hits, 3.5/5

Pensé que iba a ser de mega nenazo pero me gustó más de lo que esperaba

I never liked AC/DC, but let's give them a fair chance. Ok wow this is incredible. It simply rocks. So much energy. The vocals suck but oh well. Great hard rock album. Four stars.

you know its funny. I used to hate rap for just talk about music, sex and drugs then I saw the titles of these songs. my bad guys my bad

Straight forward rock. At it's best it has a nice groove. At it's worst it gets a bit stale/slow

Très bon

Classic album. Don’t listen to AC/DC frankly at all anymore, but they were one of the first bands I enjoyed and helped me branch into more rock and metal music.

I like AC/DC. I might even say I really like AC/DC. This album is one of their best. But I'll never give AC/DC a 5/5. Because I legitimately can't tell which song I'm listening to if I get dropped into the middle of one. I'm not going to say they all sound the same. But they've got about 3 motifs.

Not mind blowing in any way but makes me go 🤘

4,5 - Wyroznienia dla: You shook me all nigh long best

Classic. Always makes me smile. Not my favorite genre, but if I’m going to listen this is the album I pick.

Surprised to see that a lot of folks don't seem to like AC/DC here. Sure a lot of their songs sound the same, but you can't deny these guys rock and this album in particular holds a good amount of bangers. Is it perfect? no, but it's still very enjoyable.

This is a really good album with some really great, timeless songs. Hells Bells, Back In Black, and You Shook Me All Night Long are all timeless, and the other tracks are good too.

It’s AC/DC monotonous sometimes but energetic enough to make you like it

A classic, one of the first records I ever bought. I think the standout tracks for me are probably "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Let Me Put My Love Into You"

Good fun!

Man, we’ve got to blast this one at full volume! It’s an absolute favorite. I went to an AC/DC concert last year in Bratislava—no need to say more. Hell’s Bells, Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long… total classics. I nearly started singing along to the whole album out loud in a pub while listening to it on my headphones.

Volevo odiare ma… in realtà va abbastanza duro

This didnt save my review :( Anyways, I tried not to feed into the hype but the hype was pretty valid. Got me through a very long night of work so kudos to the folks on over at AC/DC

As far as AC/DC albums go, one of the best. As far as albums in general go, one of the best

What an album! Have heard these tracks independently from each other but back to back was exhilarating and intense. I’ll save it for special occasions or when I just need to get some anger out. Brilliant writing and musicianship

Even though I’m not much of a hard rock guy this album is kinda undeniable. A handful of classic songs. Plus a propulsive drive that doesn’t overstay its welcome. 4/5

Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long. Say no more. 🤘🏻

I had this album when I was 15, it got a fair amount of play with me. I almost didn’t bother re-listening and just gave it a three for nostalgia’s sake. No one needs to hear You Shook Me All Night Long for the millionth time, but also maybe I was afraid. Afraid that I would enjoy a band considered incredibly corny by todays music snob standards. But our vice president killed the holy father yesterday and I decided a trip down memory lane to a simpler time would be good for me. This is a 4, I don’t care. It’s fun, great production. Good time had by all.

I've heard all of these songs a bunch of times, but it doesn't stop them from rocking. So many hits on just this album, must be a 4/5

If I saw this in a bin at a record store for a reasonable price, I’d pick it up, and I’d consider my AC/DC collection complete. I know it’s a great record, but I don’t see myself spinning it anytime soon, and if I do I’ll probably be shit-faced on Aussie beer or something.

Dope album front to back. I can't believe I considered this group "dad rock for boomers" when I was younger.

The opening to Hells Bells is iconic. It's such a killer opener followed by Shoot To Thrill. There are some other songs on here that are classics like Back In Black and Shook Me All Night Long (I don't really like this song personally, but you do hear it everywhere). Even with all these songs packed in this short album (40 minutes), there's just something about AC/DC that just felt generic to me. They are obviously good and have plenty of classic songs, but I don't put them in the upper echelon of other rock bands (your Zeppelins, your Floyds, your Metallicas, etc.). You do know what you're getting with AC/DC and they are very good at that one thing, but it would be nice if there was a little more variety between the songs which all kind of blend together. I would score this as a high 4. I definitely came close to a 5 here, but like I said, I don't think comes near some of the other classic rock albums I would consider a 5.

4 stars. Solid listen Back In Black brings me back to high school. Felt like kickass rock back then.

Some absolute classics on this album by ACDC. Just straight up hard hitting rock and roll. Shook Me All Night may be the most overplayed song on the radio, so that's my only problem with it.

This album has some classics in Hells Bells, Back In Black, and You Shook Me All Night Long. First album after their original singer died. Crazy how well of a transition that was, even though I think Brian Johnsons vocals can get pretty weird and cartoonish at times. I personally prefer Bon Scott, but this is still a solid album I was rocking to.

pensé que no me iba a agradar, además es cortito y lo puedo escuchar en un rato. hasta donde voy escuchando, está MUY bueno, lo podría recomendar fácilmente o escuchar con un amigo o con mi pareja, pero ojo: no es un álbum para tener de fondo. tenés que prestarle atención mientras lo escuchas. las letras todavía no las busqué, pero entiendo un poco y es bien del estilo de AC/DC, que quizás no es lo más crudo pero es bien característico recién lo termino de escuchar y pensé que me iba a aburrir escuchándolo, pero nada que ver; es genial y lo volvería a escuchar. canciones favoritas: rock and roll ain't noise pollution, shake a leg, givin the dog a bone

Absolute Classic! Iron Man LOL

pretty fire, i like the power chord riffs

These guys are from Australia and they call them WHAT?!

The first of AC/DC's really really big albums, and the last of their really really great ones. Polished, tightened, nailed down and blasted out - a superb ambassador for rock. Compared to the last couple of Bon Scott albums, there's a bit more meat to these songs with beefier production and Brian Johnson's more muscular vocals evolving from the fizz and crackle on earlier records. Angus is on top top form, distilling the wildness of his solos up til now into his most musical and composed work - memorable, singable guitar solos with hooks that elevate their songs. This is one of the albums that really got me into rock, so I can only ever love it. Was considering giving this a 5, but it misses some of the magic from Highway To Hell - the best tracks are on that level, but a couple of them fall short. Still great, though. Favourite tracks: Hells Bells, Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, Shoot To Thrill, Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, What Do You Do For Money

Much better than Coldplay.

All the regular complaints about AC/DC apply to this, but meh the songs are fun.

This album makes me nut.

Great album. Stand out songs of course are Hells Bells, Back in Black, and You Shook Me All Night Long. Other than that, I wouldn't say there were any hidden gems here. It's all quite standard hard rock. None of it bad but I think they should have spaced out the latter two a little because the last 3 songs feel like an anticlimax after two legendary songs in a row. It's not quite a 5, but it's close.

AC/DC is always a fun listen, and there are some real bangers on here. However, it does get pretty repetitive when you listen to a full album. I still loved it though.

Does angus ever change his tuning? Does he need to? 5 stars for shook me but taking one off for the smutty innuendo.

The hits hit the deep tracks are okay

Already listened to this, classic 4.5/5
