ACDC is a hard rock band that emerged in the mid-70s in Australia. They feature 2 guitarists, an electric bass, a drummer, and a jowly guy with extremely tight pants (I'm assuming) screeching out sexually laced lyrics. I say all that because that's really all you get on this record. If you like hard rock ACDC is definitely one of the most dependable bands around. I personally find it pretty tiresome. I just don't understand why so many bands decide to keep the sound so consistent between songs.
Basically, the guys in ACDC came up with the heavy, distorted guitar sound for the title track and said, "That sounds AWESOME! Let's make 9 more songs just like it!" I was actually really surprised when the last song on the album came up and it was in 6/8 time. Of course it sounded exactly like all the other songs but it was still a revolution as far as I was concerned. Anyway, another meh album caused by a band that can't think beyond one signature sound. 2 stars.
