Product Description
Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, a big cartoon. All true, of course, and--on rock 'n' ragers like "What Do You Do For Money Honey," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and the title track--all great. As Scott's replacement Brian Johnson reminds us, loud and crunchy, no-holds-barred "rock and roll ain't noise pollution...it makes good, good sense." Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back in Black. --David Cantwell
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Miraculeusement, Angus Young le diablotin de la guitare hard et ses complices se transcendent pour surmonter la mort accidentelle de Bon Scott, leur chanteur bien aimé. Comme l'indiquent la couleur de la pochette, le titre et le tocsin qui résonne au début de "Hell's Bells", Back In Black est un hommage en bonne et due forme au cher disparu. Hommage façon AC/DC, c'est-à-dire rentre-dedans à souhait, célébrant le rock qui n'est pas une pollution sonore, affirment-ils et les femmes, avec un (faux) mauvais goût assumé. Qui d'autre aurait osé composer un morceau intitulé "Have A Drink On Me" quand on sait que Bon Scott a succombé en s'étouffant dans son vomi après une nuit de beuverie. Son successeur, le sympathique Brian Johnson, sait se montrer à la hauteur du déluge de feu et de sang qui l'entoure. A circonstances exceptionnelles, disque exceptionnel, la marque d'un très grand groupe. Toutes catégories confondues, n'en déplaise aux détracteurs du hard-rock. --Thierry Chatain

This review is from: Back In Black (Vinyl) (LP Record)
I personally received a 2003 copy of this album. In my infancy of buying new vinyl I didn't notice until later. Anyway as a review I will say it is slightly better than the CD that I own but falls way short of any type of audiophile type of sound.It is mastered too bright no low end extension. Just because it is on 180g vinyl does not mean it will sound any better. I do not recommend this version unless you like mediocre sound.

This review is from: Back in Black (Audio CD)
The success of Back In Black was a real anomoly in the music industry. When a band loses its lead member, it usually guarantees the destruction of the band, or at least its gradual fading into obscurity. When AC/DC lost vocalist Bon Scott to heavy drinking, few would've figured that the Australian hard rockers were going to come back at anywhere near their original power. But then the brothers Angus teamed up with new singer (er, screamer) Brian Johnson, and released the hard rock masterpiece Back In Black. Not only was it a tribute to their fallen leader, it announced their status as rock giants. To this day, Back In Black remains one of the best-selling albums of all time with over 20 million copies sold. This is traditional AC/DC--in other words 3-chord, simplistic, raw, raunchy, anthemic and about as subtle as a ballpeen hammer to the temple. And I love it! This album rocks hard, with barroom standards such as Have A Drink On Me, You Shook Me All Night Long, the title track, and Rock 'N' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution. My favorite on this album is probably the ominous Hells Bells, though everything else is at a similarly high standard. AC/DC have never made an album like this since. If you're new to AC/DC, buy this first. Then go after Bon Scott's albums--TNT, Let There Be Rock, Powerage, and the perennial classic of 1979 Highway To Hell. Also check out the underrated followup to Back In Black, Flick Of The Switch.

BACK IN BLACK!,

This review is from: Back in Black (Audio CD)
who DOESN'T own this album?!? man what are you waiting for? click add to shopping cart. why? let me explain : a) this is known as one of AC/DC's greatest albums of all time now this isn't a typical review for me...I usually write long, educated, specific reviews, but I figure this album speaks for itself. Do yourself a favor and pick this up if you don't already have it. If you're just getting into AC/DC, you will definately enjoy it. If you don't, tell me and I will refund you the money myself. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?! CLICK THE BUTTON! ;-)
