One of the perennial complaints about AC/DC is that they've never changed
-- and if that's true, High Voltage is the blueprint they've followed
all their career. Comprised of highlights from their first two
Australian albums -- 1975's TNT and its 1976 follow-up, also entitled
High Voltage -- the album has every single one of AC/DC's archetypes.
There are songs about rock & roll, slow sleazy blues, high-voltage
boogie, double entendres so obvious they qualify as single entendres
and, of course, the monster riffs of Angus Young, so big and bold they
bruise the listener upon contact. It's those riffs -- so catchy they
sound lifted when they're original, so simple they're often wrongly
dismissed as easy -- that give the music its backbone, the foundation
for Bon Scott to get dirty, and rockers never got quite as dirty as Bon
Scott. Scott sounded as if you could catch a disease by listening to
him. He sounded like the gateman at hell, somebody who never hid the
notion that lurking behind the door are some bad, dangerous things, but
they're also fun, too, and he made no apologies for that. But for as
primal as High Voltage is, it's also a lot weirder and funnier than it's
given credit for, too -- those are bagpipes that solo on "It's a Long
Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock & Roll)," and "She's Got Balls"
is a perversely funny dirty joke. This is music so primal that it's
enduring -- it feels like it existed before AC/DC got there, and it will
exist long afterward. And if AC/DC did wind up bettering this blueprint
in the future, there's no question that this original is still potent,
even thrilling, no matter how many times they returned to the well, or
how many times this record is played.

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976)

There's a real sense of menace to "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," the title song
of AC/DC's third album. More than most of their songs to date, it
captured the seething malevolence of Bon Scott, the sense that he
reveled in doing bad things, encouraged by the maniacal riffs of Angus
and Malcolm Young who provided him with their most brutish rock &
roll yet. But for as glorious as the title track was, the entire album
served as a call to arms from a group that wanted nothing more than to
celebrate the dirtiest, nastiest instincts humans could have, right down
to the insurgent anti-authority vibe that runs throughout the record.
Take "Big Balls" -- sure, it's a dirty joke, but it's a dirty joke with
class overthrow in mind. There's a sense on Dirty Deeds that AC/DC is
storming the gates -- they're problem children sick of waiting around to
be a millionaire, so they're gonna make their own money, even if they
take down others as they go. That's what gives Dirty Deeds Done Dirt
Cheap its supercharged, nervy pulse; there's a real sense of danger to
this record, something that can't be hidden beneath the jokes. Maybe
that's why the album wasn't released in the U.S. until 1981, after Bon's
death, after AC/DC had become millionaires -- if it arrived any
earlier, it would have been too insurrectionist for the common good.

Let There Be Rock, the fourth AC/DC album -- and first to see simultaneous
international release -- is as lean and mean as the original lineup ever
got. Shaved down to the bone -- there are only eight tracks, giving
this a lethal efficiency even with a couple of meandering jams -- this
is a high-voltage, brutal record, filled with "Bad Boy Boogie." It has a
bit of a bluesier edge than other AC/DC records, but this is truly the
sound of the band reaching its peak. There's the near majesty of "Let
There Be Rock," there's Bon Scott acknowledging with a wink that "Hell
Ain't a Bad Place to Be," and then there's the monumental "Whole Lotta
Rosie." Which gets down to a key thing about AC/DC. If Led Zeppelin were
celebrating a "Whole Lotta Love," AC/DC got down to the grimy details
in their leering tribute to the joys of sex with a plus-sized woman. And
that's AC/DC's allure in a nutshell -- it's sweaty, dirty, nasty rock,
music that is played to the last call and beyond, and they've rarely
done that kind of rock better than they did here.

Powerage was a first in the sense that it debuted bassist Cliff Williams, but it
really is more of a final curtain to the band's early years. It would
be the last produced by Vanda & Young, the legendary Australian
production team who also helmed hits by the Easybeats, and it was the
last before AC/DC became superstars. As such, it's perhaps the most
overlooked of their '70s records, also because, frankly, it is the most
uneven of them. Not that it's a bad record -- far from it, actually.
There are a few genuine classics here, most notably "Down Payment Blues"
and "Up to My Neck in You," and there's a real appeal in how Bon
Scott's gutter poems of excess are reaching a mythic level; there's a
real sense that he truly does believe that rock & roll leads
straight to hell on "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation." But overall, the record
is just a bit too wobbly, one where the parts don't add up to a record
as hard and addictive as before -- but there's still plenty worth
hearing here.

AC/DC was fast becoming one of rock's top live acts by the late '70s. Few
others could match the band's electrifying live performances: Angus
Young's never-ending energy and wise-ass antics, Bon Scott's
whiskey-soaked vocals, and the rest of the band's penchant for nailing
simple, yet extremely effective and memorable, riffs and grooves. While
most other rock bands of the era were busy experimenting with disco or
creating studio-perfected epics, AC/DC was one of the few specializing
in raw and bluesy hard rock, as evidenced by 1978's live set, If You
Want Blood You've Got It. Recorded during their world tour in support of
their Powerage album, If You Want Blood contains many of AC/DC's best
compositions up until that point: "Bad Boy Boogie" (complete with the
break-down section in which Young would "strip"), "The Jack," "Problem
Child," "Whole Lotta Rosie," "High Voltage," "Let There Be Rock," and
"Rocker." Strangely, their early anthem "Sin City" was not included, and
there's a slight sense of studio enhancement on certain tracks. While
the first disc of the 1997 box set Bonfire is the best document of live
Bon Scott-era AC/DC ("Live From the Atlantic Studios"), If You Want
Blood You've Got It is highly recommended.

Of course, Highway to Hell is the final album AC/DC recorded with Bon
Scott, the lead singer who provided the group with a fair share of its
signature sleaze. Just months after its release, Scott literally partied
himself to death (the official cause cited as acute alcohol poisoning)
after a night of drinking, a rock & roll fatality that took no
imagination to predict. In light of his passing, it's hard not to see
Highway to Hell as a last testament of sorts, being that it was his last
work and all, and if Scott was going to go out in a blaze of glory,
this certainly was the way to do it. This is a veritable rogue's gallery
of deviance, from cheerfully clumsy sex talk and drinking anthems to
general outlandish behavior. It's tempting to say that Scott might have
been prescient about his end -- or to see the title track as ominous in
the wake of his death -- trying to spill it all out on paper, but it's
more accurate to say that the ride had just gotten very fast and very
wild for AC/DC, and he was simply flying high. After all, it wasn't just
Scott who reached a new peak on Highway to Hell; so did the Young
brothers, crafting their monster riffs into full-fledged, undeniable
songs. This is their best set of songs yet, from the incessant,
intoxicating boogie of "Girls Got Rhythm" to "If You Want Blood (You've
Got It)." Some of the credit should also go to Robert John "Mutt" Lange,
who gives the album a precision and magnitude that the Vanda &
Young LPs lacked in their grimy charm. Filtered through Mutt's mixing
board, AC/DC has never sounded so enormous, and they've never had such
great songs, and they had never delivered an album as singularly
bone-crunching or classic as this until now.

The first sound on Back in Black is the deep, ominous drone of church bells
-- or "Hell's Bells," as it were, opening the album and AC/DC's next
era with a fanfare while ringing a fond farewell to Bon Scott, their
late lead singer who partied himself straight to hell. But this implies
that Back in Black is some kind of tribute to Scott, which may be true
on a superficial level -- black is a funeral cover, hell's bells
certainly signify death -- but this isn't filled with mournful songs
about the departed. It's a more fitting tribute, actually, since AC/DC
not only carried on without him, but they delivered a record that to the
casual ear sounds like the seamless successor to Highway to Hell, right
down to how Brian Johnson's screech is a dead ringer for Scott's growl.
Most listeners could be forgiven for thinking that Johnson was Scott,
but Johnson is different than Bon. He's driven by the same obsessions --
sex and drink and rock & roll, basically -- but there isn't nearly
as much malevolence in his words or attitude as there was with Scott.
Bon sounded like a criminal, Brian sounds like a rowdy scamp throughout
Back in Black, which helps give it a real party atmosphere. Of course,
Johnson shouldn't be given all the credit for Back in Black, since Angus
and Malcolm carry on with the song-oriented riffing that made Highway
to Hell close to divine. Song for song, they deliver not just mammoth
riffs but songs that are anthems, from the greasy "Shoot to Thrill" to
the pummeling "Back in Black," which pales only next to "You Shook Me
All Night Long," the greatest one-night-stand anthem in rock history.
That tawdry celebration of sex is what made AC/DC different from all
other metal bands -- there was no sword & sorcery, no darkness, just
a rowdy party, and they never held a bigger, better party than they did
on Back in Black.

AC/DC's hot streak began to draw to a close with For Those About to Rock We
Salute You. While Back in Black was infused with the energy and spirit
of paying tribute to Bon Scott, it became apparent on the follow-up that
the group really did miss Scott more than it initially indicated. Brian
Johnson's lyrics started to seem more calculated and a bit cliched,
lacking Scott's devil-may-care sense of humor. And the band itself
slowed down the tempo frequently, sounding less aggressive and inspired.
There is still some decent material here -- the title track, for
example, which became a concert staple with cannon-firing sound effects.

For Flick of the Switch, AC/DC jettisoned producer Mutt Lange in an attempt
to recapture the rawness and simplicity of their early records. While
they more or less succeed in terms of the record's sound, and show more
energy than on the preceding For Those About to Rock We Salute You, the
songs themselves suffer -- AC/DC's music has always been simple, but
here it sounds underdeveloped and unmemorable. As perhaps indicated by
the record's idiotic original title, the utterly generic I Like to Rock,
AC/DC seemed to be running out of ideas at an alarming rate, and their
record sales began to reflect that fact.

Despite longtime AC/DC fans' immediate acceptance of replacement singer Brian
Johnson (resulting in one of rock's all-time best sellers, 1980's Back
in Black), there was still demand for Bon Scott-era unreleased tracks.
Several of their early albums in Australia and Europe (such as T.N.T.)
were later combined together for their first U.S. release, High Voltage,
while several tracks were cut from the original versions and never
issued stateside. 1984's five-song EP, '74 Jailbreak, features these
forgotten tracks from the band's early days. "Jailbreak" automatically
became a concert standard when the EP came out, and it remains a mystery
why it wasn't released earlier. Also included is the largely
instrumental "Soul Stripper," a cover of "Baby Please Don't Go," plus a
pair of Angus Young-Malcolm Young-Scott originals: "You Ain't Got a Hold
on Me" and the autobiographical "Show Business." Although '74 Jailbreak
is by no means a definitive collection of early rarities (such
compositions as "Fling Thing," "Love Song," "Stick Around," "R.I.P.-
Rock in Peace," and "School Days" remain unreleased in the States), it
is a worthwhile, brief snapshot of early AC/DC.

Fly on the Wall continues AC/DC's descent into cookie-cutter mediocrity,
with the leering humor of past glories seeming forced and uninspired,
and the music remaining somewhat underdeveloped and directionless. Brian
Johnson's vocals are mixed far in the background, which is perhaps
appropriate since he's not in very good voice. As with nearly every
AC/DC album, there are a few good songs, notably "Shake Your
Foundations" and "Sink the Pink" (both of which later showed up on Who
Made Who), but overall, Fly on the Wall is the sound of a band
desperately trying to revive its career without quite knowing how to
recapture the spark that made it great.

On paper, Who Made Who is just a cheap soundtrack to a cheap movie
(Stephen King's disastrous Maximum Overdrive), but it's actually much
more than that. It serves as a ripping AC/DC retrospective, tearing
through such classics as "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "For Those
About to Rock," adding the pounding title track to the band's canon, and
rescuing overlooked songs like "Sink the Pink" from otherwise mediocre
albums. It's not a perfect retrospective -- there's no "Back in Black,"
"Highway to Hell," or "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" -- but what is here
is terrific.

AC/DC remained a popular concert draw throughout the '80s, although such
albums as Flick of the Switch and Fly on the Wall failed to replicate
their mass U.S. commercial success of 1980-1981 (Back in Black, For
Those About to Rock, a reissue of Dirty Deeds). But the successful
soundtrack for Stephen King's lackluster movie Maximum Overdrive, titled
Who Made Who, put AC/DC back on the right track commercially. Their
first new studio album of all-new material in three years, 1988's Blow
Up Your Video turned out to be their most successful album since 1981's
For Those About To Rock, even though it was chock full of filler. The
driving album opener, "Heatseeker," turned out to be a surprising Top
Ten single in the U.K., while the anthemic "That's the Way I Want to
Rock n' Roll" proved to be another highlight (video clips were filmed
for both songs, as well). But from there on (with the exception of
"Kissin' Dynamite" and "This Means War"), it gets pretty unfocused. The
album is glutted with such throwaways as "Nick of Time," "Ruff Stuff,"
and "Two's Up" -- completely missing the point of what made such
previous albums as Back in Black so great (they simply did not contain a
weak moment). Blow Up Your Video also marked the return of AC/DC's
early production team, Harry Vanda and George Young, who man the boards
for the first time since 1978's If You Want Blood.

AC/DC - The Razors Edge (1990)

Although AC/DC's popularity had decreased by the early '90s, the band still had a
lot of life left in it. Arguably the Australian headbangers' strongest
album in over half a decade, The Razor's Edge is quintessential AC/DC --
rowdy, abrasive, unapologetically fun metal full of blistering power
chords, memorable hooks, and testosterone-driven lyrics. Lead singer
Brian Johnson sounds more inspired than he had since 1983's Flick of the
Switch, and lead guitarist Angus Young isn't about to take any
prisoners on such hard-hitting material as "Shot of Love," the menacing
title song, and the appropriately titled "Got You By the Balls."
Although not quite in a class with Back in Black, Highway to Hell, or
Let There Be Rock -- all of which would, for novices, serve as fine
introductions to the distinctive band -- The Razor's Edge was a welcome
addition to AC/DC's catalog.

Despite the fact that the band's best days were obviously behind them, a live
album for AC/DC was all but completely necessary. After all, the group's
first live release, If You Want Blood You've Got It, was recorded at a
time when AC/DC was nothing more than a cult act that had yet to produce
many of its future rock staples. Though recorded well into their career
on the Razor's Edge 1991 tour, AC/DC Live surprisingly captures the
hype and excitement that made AC/DC such a hit in their heyday. The set
list wisely overlooks the songs from the band's mid-'80s slump and
concentrates on hard rock hits such as "Hells Bells," "Back in Black,"
"Highway to Hell," and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." Brian Johnson's
voice may not be as strong as in the early '80s, but he still sounds
competent in his role. All too often, a live album is a cheaply made,
rushed recording that only serves as a testament to a band's decline.
AC/DC Live, however, shows what makes this band different from their
peers -- here they are still entirely capable of pulling off a great
live show. This ranks among the best live metal albums of the '90s. [In
February 2003, the American distribution rights to AC/DC's back catalog
transferred over to Epic, their new label. Epic reissued the band's
catalog as remastered digipacks containing lavish, expanded booklets
with plenty of rare photographs, memorabilia, and notes. Although the
digipacks may wear a little too easy, the sound is terrific -- clean and
muscular, enhancing the raw qualities of the original record -- and the
packaging is loving, making the reissues necessary for collectors.]

AC/DC - Ballbreaker (1995)
EAC Rip | FLAC, IMG+CUE+LOG | 400 MB | MP3 CBR 320 Kbps | 130 MB | Complete HQ Scans | PNG -> 100 MB

In over 20 years, AC/DC never changed their minimalist, bone-crunching
hard rock. During their first ten years, that wasn't a problem, since
they were still finding ways to expand and subvert the pattern, but ever
since For Those About to Rock, they had trouble coming up with
consistent material. Consequently, their performances tended to be a
little lazy and their records didn't deliver a reliable knockout punch.
Released in 1990, The Razor's Edge showed some signs of life, and their
comeback culminated in the Rick Rubin-produced Ballbreaker. What makes
Ballbreaker different than the albums AC/DC churned out during the '80s
is simple -- it's a matter of focus. Although "Hard as a Rock" comes
close, there aren't any songs as immediately memorable as any of their
'70s classics, or even "Moneytalks." However, unlike any record since
Back in Black, there are no bad songs on the album. Surprisingly,
Rubin's production is a bit too dry, lacking the muscle needed to make
the riffs sound truly earthshaking. Nevertheless, Angus Young's riffs
are powerful and catchy, showcasing every element that makes him one of
hard rock and heavy metal's greatest guitarists. Throughout the album,
the band sounds committed and professional, making Ballbreaker the best
late-period AC/DC album to date.
