wasted Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 This is an awesome record. My favorite tracks are Evil Walks, COD, Spellbound, Snowballed. It's only got 10 tracks but it seems so full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_TH Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 First rock album I ever heard so it's got a special place. A mate at school had it on cassette! I think that was swiftly followed by Motorhead On Parole and Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast.I'm into all sorts of music now, but I still listen to these regularly!

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 It's great, but AC/DC has done much better albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_TH Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 It's great, but AC/DC has done much better albums.You're probably right there - but it's still a great album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I could never really get into it. I think it's AC/DC's most overrated album. But somehow, I love Flick Of The Switch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moop Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 It was my first AC/DC album. I used to think it was one of the greatest rock albums ever back in the day.... but that was before I ventured into other AC/DC albums. Still a very good album, though.

JONEZY Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Great album. For some reason I really like "I Put The Finger On You".Maybe because its a great song. All AC/DC fans should have this album, I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UYIllusion Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I prefer the albums with Bon on vocals. Its a shame what happened to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It has it's moments, but it's definately not an album I listen to regularly.Go buy Powerage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opax Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) I prefer Brian vocals to Scott's, Brian just sounds better. Lyrics not so much but oh well if you're into AC/DC for the lyrics you're into the wrong band.Personally I like a handful of track on this album, For Those About to Rock, Let's Get it Up and C.O.D., but for me it has more filler tracks than most Brian Johnson era Albums. If I had to Rank the Johnson era albums they'd look something like this.1. Back in Black (A given really very tracks a gem)2. Flick of the Switch (Raw and powerful without any stand out tracks but all of them are listnable)3. Razors Edge (Really like all the catchy tunes on this album even if it is a bit over-produced, Slade is also the best AC/DC drummer, shame he only stuck around for one record).4. Fly on the Wall (This record appeals to me because it doesnt take itself to seriously and has a number of catchy songs)5. Stiff Upper Lip (A good album on the whole)6. For Those About to Rock (Riding on the back of Back in Black it tries a littl too hard to impress)7. Ballbreaker (Probably their most experimental album but a bit of a miss for me)8. Blow Up Your Video (Good start but tends to fade rapidly, I do like the tune Two's Up though) Edited June 15, 2007 by Opax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 I had Powerage before FTATR. Powerage has one stormin' track on it...Down Payment Blues! That is a better album than For Those but I'm into FTATR rick now. Spellbound is awesome.Thundestruck is great as well. I saw them on that tour. angus came up on a pillar in the middle of the audience soloing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blow Up Your Video (Good start but tends to fade rapidly, I do like the tune Two's Up though)interesting , I would go this route:1.Back in Black - 19802.For Those About to Rock - 19813.Flick of the Switch - 19834.Fly on the Wall - 19855.The Razor's Edge - 1990, maybe '91?6.Ballbreaker - 19957.Stiff Upper Lip - 2000 , '01?8.Blow Up Your Video - 19889.Who Made Who - 1986 (3 unreleased tracks from Maximum Overdrive)I think the newer albums put Johnson's vocals too loud and the music is too low.Brian is losing his voice , clearly shows on Stiff Upper Lip. I say lower him downand turn up the drums and guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
