Black Ice - AC/DC Reviews

Angus Young, AC/DC's school-uniform clad lead guitarist, once gave a music journalist a quick reprimand when his band was accused of never deviating from a tried and tested formula. His defense went something like this: "I'm sick of hearing people saying that we've made fourteen albums that all sound exactly the same. They're wrong. ...  Read the complete review

AC/DC have changed in many ways over the years but some habits die hard. Luckily for AC/DC their habits are writing hard rocking riffs, lighting leads and witty vocals sharp enough to cut down to the bone. This album is no exception. The album consists of 15 tracks with each one of them pulling many times its own weight. The ...  Read the complete review

AC/DC's latest release - Black Ice is certainly one of their better albums of recent times. It features 15 hard rocking, head banging, classic sounding AC/DC tracks.

Before I get into his album I think I should explain how I stand on AC/DC just so people understand my view. I'm a big fan of AC/DC, I loved some of their previous albums especially the live stuff but I don't own every album and know them like the back of my hand. I'm into their style of music, I was a fan of Iron Maiden, Deep Purple and ...  Read the complete review

Angus, Brian and the boys are back after an 8 year long hiatus, with nothing but a few DVDs and the odd hint at what was to come to tide us over. We were promised harder riffs (we are always promised harder riffs! It is AC/DC after all!) and Brian back on lyric writing duties in what was shaping up to be a very big ...  Read the complete review

This album is vintage ACDC back at their best! Their first single off the album "Rock N Roll Train" in my opinion is up there with there legendary tracks such as "Highway to Hell" and "Whole Lotta Rosie". ACDC's first album in 8 years, having bought Metallica's "Death Magnetic" and Motley Crues ...  Read the complete review

Black Ice is the first AC/DC album in 8 years and surprised me a bit, I wasn't aware it was coming out until a month before its release when it was advertised at the local metro station. Intrigued how the old school rockers would sound now, I knew it was one that had to be added to my collection. My initial thought was that ...  Read the complete review

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that AC/DC had released this new album; their first album for eight years! I had no idea that they were recording a new album until it was advertised on television and then to my even further surprise, I heard that it had reached number on in the UK album charts. This on it's own in an ...  Read the complete review

A track by track summary is: Rock N Roll is highly infectious, catchy, punchy, energetic, anthemic rock and a brilliant single choice. Classic AC/DC. I do wonder if Runaway Train may have been a better title for it given the lyrical content of the song but who's gonna argue with the mighty AC/DC? Skies On Fire is ...  Read the complete review
