metallex78 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I’m in the minority, but I reckon the album is pretty average, even by AC/DC’s standards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil’s drumming and Brian’s vocals are solid throughout. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, proving that its really not hard to put out an album of good material, if you WANT TO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it 5-6 spins, and I still thought it was average. The only songs that Really stood out to me were Demon Fire, and Shot in the Dark. The rest sounds like recycled, lesser versions of older songs. I really tried listening to hear what everyone else seems to love about it, but it just sounds pretty bland to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as an album goes, if it didn't have the AC/DC name on it, it wouldn't get a second listen by most.

The media already said that about Black Ice and Rock Or Bust just for the purpose of a headline But anyway, Power Up really is their best album since TRE Edited November 22, 2020 by Sosso 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Guapo Posted November 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2020 I guess many people, like myself, enjoy the fact that there's a new AC/DC album in this fucked up year 2020 more than the music itself. It just feels good cause it stands for better times, so to speak. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It’s gone straight to number 1 in 8 countries apparently. GNR take note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it waa pretty average but I like it a little more each listen. I would consider it one of therir worst but I have lsitened to it about 5 or 6 times. I wouldn't say there are any classic on it but there aren't any bad songs that I feel the need to skip. and there are a few songs that are growing on me a bit.. Over all I Think it is pretty solid and the fans seem to be happy with it. I am not going to run out and buy it but it did inspire me to purchade Who Made Who and Powerage on Vinyl about 10 minutes ago haha... On another note, I hope Axl is inspired at the hard rock roots of the record and make him want to put a kick ass hard rock record himself.. That is what he is best at... Maybe also respect the fact that the band willing brought Phil back again even with all his issues.. Drummers Matter... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estranged_85 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think the album is OK, nothing more nothing less.. Good thing though is that they record and release an album instead of just endless bullshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of folk love it and fair enough...I just found it to be more of the same from the last couple of albums (the majority of the album is based on ‘Black Ice’ sessions) and apart from a couple on those it’s just more of the same. A poor AC/DC album (IMO) getting chart action, plaudits etc is all good by me - any kind of rock music getting attention can only be good. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one-two of Riff Raff and Sin City is quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose87 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Much like every AC/DC album since the mid 80's, one or two very good songs amongst a lot of forgettable stuff. As someone said before the mixing of the album is pretty bad (vocals especially). Reminds me a bit of "Fly on the wall" in terms of the mix. Really heavily saturated guitars and the vocals lost in it. Of their releases over the past 25 years I'd probably put it just behind "Black Ice" (which was fantastic IMO). Miles better than whatever the last one was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I’m more interested to hear what Axl thinks of it. If he thinks it’s a great record then we prob get a GNR record at some point. Considering Axl spent a fair chunk of his creative life trying to get away from that sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
