Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Such are the near-generational gaps between latter-day AC/DC albums that it's always tempting to hail the arrival of a new one as a return to form. Black Ice arrives a whopping eight years after the band's last offering, Stiff Upper Lip, but one chorus into "Rock N Roll Train", the wise man would conclude that any evolution here is as slow and incremental as, well, evolution. A punchy, straightforward opener that finds Angus Young in good riff and Brian Johnson preaching a familiar gospel of schoolgirls and schoolboys, fantasy and ecstasy, it's familiar in the best possible way. A little deeper into Black Ice, however, and there's evidence of a slightly altered approach. Producer Brendan O'Brien softens and fleshes out the stripped-down, electric blues sound AC/DC rediscovered on 1995's Ballbreaker, and in places the band follow suit––take "Anything Goes", a poppy stomp that recalls O'Brien's other recent charge, Bruce Springsteen. Elsewhere, "Stormy May Day" and "Money Made" find Young taking up the slide for a few Zeppelin-flavoured licks. A few new paths, then, but all in all, the destination is pretty much the same: another solid late-period AC/DC album that, while unlikely to dislodge Back in Black from the fan's pedestal, finds its makers rocking into ripe old age. ––Louis Pattison Customer Reviews

Read More: Rating: - Doesn't match Highway To Hell, Let There Be Rock or Powerage but still great! ! !I aint a long term AC/DC fan but I have all the Bon Scott era albums(Downloaded have'nt got the chance to buy 'em yet) and I love 'em, TNT, What's Next To The Moon, Girls Got Rythm, Let There Be Rock all classics and will always be my favourite AC/DC tunes after the Bon Scott era albums any albums I listened to it never was a perfect album Back In Black, The Razors Edge and Black Ice all have awesome songs but as a whole album its weak compared to the Bon Scott era. This album some awesome songs on it and the more I listen to it the more songs I get out off it. My personal favourites are Rock N Roll Train, Skies On Fire, Anything Goes, War Machine, Spoilin' for a Fight, Wheels, Stormy May Day & Black Ice. So yes majority of ...

Rating:  - same old same oldI was champing at the bit waiting for this release. All the hype around it, best since BIB, a return to form, etc, etc. After having lived with it for a couple of weeks all I can say is............................... It's the same carry on since 'For Those....' A few great tracks and even more filler due to the album being overlong at 15 tracks. Brian's voice has never sounded better. He's really improved over the last few albums. AC/DC albums always open with a belter and this is no exception with 'Rock n Roll Train'. The momentum is kept with the next few tracks, especially 'Anything Goes', but it really does become patchy after the first four or five tracks. 'Stormy May Day' finishes before it's begun and 'Rocking All The ... Read More: Rating: - Enjoyable, but they need a decent vocalistI enjoyed this bluesey/rock album, apart from the irritating "Nazareth-type" vocals. They really need a good soulful-blues vocalist in the mold of Paul Rodgers or Jess Roden. |
