Perfect example of how AC/DC’s lyrics really are all about sex, but that aside the album is great. Testament and proof for the idea that the band did not drop the ball as soon as they lost Bon Scott. Indeed they came back hard hitting as ever to give a good dose of rock from down under and just plainly kick ass. With the opening groove laid down by Angus in “Hells Bells” you knew it was going to be good. A more fitting replacement for old Scotty could not have been found then Brian Johnson. His voice rocks, and to those who simply “listen” to music you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between him and his predecessor. Weak tracks exist (Givin’ the dog a bone, Shake a leg) but they are overshadowed by the ones (which despite their overplay on the radio: “Back in Black”, “You Shook Me All Night A Long” and “Shoot to Thrill”) are still unbelievable. That and the album has “Let me put my love into you” which for any number of reasons is still excellent and never gets old. Normally I do not agree with a band continuing when it has lost a crucial member, but in this case I think the result was a perfect tribute to Bon, though they could have stopped after this one.
Rating = Jupiter Record
