1001 Albums Summary

This is an album that, had Bon Scott lived, may be more tolerable. There are a number of warts evident with this album. First, it marks a tectonic, albeit downward, shift from the Bon Scott days with far more grating instrumentals that, seemingly, drown out the brilliant guitar play of Angus Young. Second (and most egregious) probably THE WORST LEAD SINGER EVER PERPETRATED ON MANKIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brian Johnston sounds more like someone who fell into an industrial sized blender than a competent lead singer. His screeching voice makes my eardrums contemplate suing me for negligence. The title track would be fine IF SOMEONE ELSE SANG THE DAMN SONG!!

Two words....Kim Deal
