Release Date October 20, 2008
There are decent riffs on this album that lift it above some of the more lackadaisical offerings of Brian Johnston-era AC/DC (the equally forgettable Fly on the Wall, Ballbreaker, and Stiff Upper Lip), but it's a predominantly pedestrian set of songs.
Considering 8 years has elapsed since their last studio release (Stiff Upper Lip - although work began on Black Ice in 2006), you might expect them to pool their combined talent to write a more dynamic collection of songs - the album becomes repetitive and the songs indistinguishable after half way.
I've been listening to AC/DC since I first heard them on Australian radio as a schoolboy in the 1970s, and I've been consistently disappointed since Flick of the Switch (1983) precipitated ... Read More:

Amazingly good album, every track is strong, no filler, very inspired, if you're new to AC/DC start here along with Highway To Hell.

This has to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and for me AC/DC`s second best after the previous "Powerage".The production on this is excellent, recently purchased this on cd as my vinyl copy is on its last legs.Great to hear it again, where do you start,all great tunes but stand out for me are,Highway to hell,walk all over you,If you want blood and touch to much.
I was lucky enough to see this tour and went two nights running at Manchester Apollo,awesome.Have a great memory of being at the Led Zep Knebworth gig in 79 and they played this album in full over the pa system.
Of course this was Bon Scott`s last album and he was/is sadly missed.After this album came their biggest selling album"Back in Black", another great solid record ... Read More:

It's an interesting album Black Ice, it's a marked improvement on the last two Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip, but I wouldn't say there was anything special about it. Usually when a classic album comes out, there's two maybe three stand out tracks on it where the band excels themselves, but on this there aren't any. There are some good tracks like Rock n Roll Train, Big Jack, Money Made, Spoilin for a fight, but no classics. There's isn't a bad song on this album, but it all sounds so familiar, almost like they were afraid to push the boat out, I'm not knocking it, but I almost feel like AC/DC played it safe, when they are capable of so much more.

No matter how often I listen to this album, it never ceases to blow me away. It is by far the best record the band have done, and is one of my favourite albums ever. Each song fizzes with energy, and it never lets up. The raw sound is exactly what AC/DC are about, the whole album sounds as if it's just been recorded live. Every song on this album is a classic.
Release Date May 05, 2003
This album is classic AC/DC and full of the punchy, energetic, anthemic rock we're all used to from the lads. And of course the vocals are as distinctive as ever. There is not a lot more to say that has not already been said by other reviewers other than this is a must-have album for any AC/DC fan and for anyone who likes their rock.
Let's Get It Up, Inject The Venom, Spellbound and Night Of The Long Knives are personal favourites, and I defy you not to break out your air guitar.

Being a rock guitar freak of two decades' standing, it is with embarrassment that I confess to only having heard this record for the first time in my 39th year.
Clearly I went to the wrong school and hung out with the wrong, self conscious types, and stupidly we looked askance at this bogan rock. More fool us.
What a remarkable, single minded, self-assured, exuberant record this is, and what a master stroke for a bunch of scot-inflected teenaged aussies to have settled on such a perceptively observed formula and executed on it so flawlessly (and stuck with it for the thirty years since!). All of rock's evolved extravagant frippery is discarded or reduced down to its elements. The drums mark out a thumping 4/4 on-beat; stereo guitars crank out ... Read More:

No seriously why? This album is amazing. This one of AC/DCs best albums. This is more bluesy rock n roll and the blues is very evident in this album. Every song on this album gets better. When you listen to each song you think can this get any better and it does. Best songs are Downpayment Blues, Riff Raff, Rock N Roll Damnation & What's Next The Moon?.
This is a must for every AC/DC fan this should be one of AC/DCs most popular albums ever but sadly it isn't it's certainly one of their best. This is a great start to AC/DC it's one of their. Why it's not more known is beyond me but we'll have to deal with it. Buy this Rock classic if you're a rock n roll fan. LET THERE BE ROCK!!!!!!!!!
Release Date May 05, 2003
A new decade, a new drummer, a new producer and a pretty damn good effort from AC/DC. Production-wise, The Razors Edge harks back to HTH, BIB and FTATR. Bruce Fairbairn adds polish to the proceedings without being too obtrusive and the songs, whilst not being all-time DC classics, crackle along nicely. Standouts include Moneytalks, Are You Ready and, of course, Thunderstruck - probably the one bona fide classic on the album.
My one criticism is directed at Chris Slade. Like Simon Wright, Slade is a perfectly good rock'n'roll drummer but he just doesn't quite fit into the AC/DC groove. He drives the songs rather than going with them. However this is less evident in the studio than on stage - I couldn't believe how fast he played some of the old Bon era material. His sound ...
