Reviews around pollution (4.23 of 5)

  • Well, for me "Let Me Put My Love Into You Baby" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" are kind of lame, but the strength of the other tracks just demolishes any of the album's weaknesses
  • Hells Bells, shoot to thrill, Back in Black, you shook me all night long, have a drink on me, rock n roll aint noise pollution
  • Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution" is a song that is also a true fact

Reviews around music (3.88 of 5)

  • Back In Black plays like a greatest hits album which has it's place not just in hard rock and heavy metal but music in general as well as an iconic part of the early '80s
  • One more thing is that AC/DC makes great rock music, think about it
  • But on this album, the music sounds tiresome, bloated, and uninspired.
  • well some of AC/DC's music was like that before this album anyhow
  • It will get heavy rotation in any hard rock fans music library.

Reviews around singer (3.79 of 5)

  • After the untimely death of lead singer Bon Scott, AC/DC was in complete disarray
  • This is also the first AC/DC album to feature singer Brian Johnson who replaces the band's original singer Bon Scott who died on February 19th of that same year from heavy drinking
  • After the unfortunate death of charismatic lead singer Bon Scott, AC/DC came back stronger than ever
  • Brian Johnson also does an excellent job taking over the vocals after Bon Scott's tragic death - he's my personal favorite hard rock singer next to Van Halen's David Lee Roth
  • It really is an overrated album and Brian Johnson is the worst singer of all time who only

Reviews around ac (3.79 of 5)

  • Don't think they're playing mournfully either, this is still down n dirty AC/DC rock, just more intense
  • Back in Black in my opinion is the best AC/DC album because it has a lot more hard rock and even the bluesier songs work
  • This album contains not only two of the greatest AC/DC songs ever but two of the greatest rock songs ever, Back In
  • The album rolls along to the song that gives a great middle finger to the people that would come to call AC/DC too vulgar or juvenile

Reviews around quality (3.51 of 5)

  • All good songs on it and the quality of the product is just what I expected
  • Regarding the deluxe version, sound quality is excellent.
  • The sound quality is awesome and you got it to me very quickly.
  • Very poor quality and doesn't even follow the original tracks
  • The cd side of the disc is poor quality,it sounds like they remastered it with too much compression trying to make it sound more analog

Reviews around guitar (3.45 of 5)

  • Perfect beat, perfect lyrics, perfect guitar, all in all, a perfect song
  • The guitars are loud and raw and the vocals cut though you like a chain saw
  • Throughout the album, the hooks are unforgetable, the guitars are appropriatly loud, and the rythms rock hard
  • Even though it is Brian Johnson on vocals, it is still an homage to Bon, and a pretty well written one, with Angus Young's riffs carrying it on, 4/5Shake a Leg: Another typical-style AC/DC rocker, but with a killer guitar solo by Angus Young in the middle, 4.5/5Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
  • It is what it is, rock in its purest form, hard driving guitars, completely over the top vocals, songs that exude energy and passion

Reviews around dc (3.35 of 5)

  • The album rolls along to the song that gives a great middle finger to the people that would come to call AC/DC too vulgar or juvenile
  • Back in Black in my opinion is the best AC/DC album & one of the best albums period
  • After the death of their former frontman, Bon Scott, AC/DC came exploding onto the music scene again very quickly with the first album featuring Brian Johnson
  • Anyways, after Bon Scott died, AC/DC thought they were done, but they produced this album as their last one
  • After the tragic death of lead singer Bon Scott, the future of AC/DC was decidedly uncertain

Reviews around band (3.29 of 5)

  • ac/dc is one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time
  • Best hard rock band ever & in my opinion, this is their best album ever.
  • Brian Johnson joined the hard rock band after the death of lead singer, Bon Scott
  • Hey its ACDC, one of the greatest rock bands in the world
  • Basically, this is the definitive AC/DC album (not to mention the best), so if you don't like this, you probably don't like the band much, either

Reviews around bon scott (2.65 of 5)

  • Brian Johnson also does an excellent job taking over the vocals after Bon Scott's tragic death - he's my personal favorite hard rock singer next to Van Halen's David Lee Roth
  • This Album is dedicated to AC/DC's late lead singer, the inimitable Bon Scott
  • Bon Scott was great and probably very hard to replace after his death.
  • It's the first one since Bon Scott's tragic death and Brian Johnson at the time was unproven but blew us away
  • Then, in February of 1980, vocalist Bon Scott choked on his own vomit in his sleep and died, and the band quickly brought in Brian Johnson as their new lead vocalist

Reviews around abandon (2.33 of 5)

  • the rest of this album is just excellent songs like "you shook me all night long,let me put my love into you,shake a
  • Bon's voice was unique with a range that peaked with a great rock n' roll scream.
  • Not musical skill (as in Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, ELO, Eric Clapton, or King Crimson), not well-written lyrics (as in John Lennon, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Don Henley, or Lou Reed), not a great voice (like Joan Baez, Cass Elliott, or Janis Joplin), not blue-collar appeal (as in some of the better country acts), but nose-picking, butt-scratching, play-to-the-lowest-denominator grossness.
  • Bon's voice was unique with a range that peaked with a great rock n' roll scream.
  • The album just sounds too damn compromised and watered-down, sorely lacking the reckless abandon of AC/DC's best work--again, this points to why this album has had such big time commercial success, because of its appeal to mainstream wimps who probably wouldn't have given AC/DC the time of day otherwise

Reviews around bells (2.00 of 5)

  • From the vengeful death knell of "Hell's Bells" to the strutting finale of "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," the rhythms on this album do not relent
  • From the tolling bells of "Hell's Bells" to the last chord of "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", it is clear that AC/DC had lost none of their fire, only their lesd singer
  • Standout tracks include "Back in Black," "Hell's Bells," and "You Shook Me All Night Long
  • All Night Long, Hell's Bells and the ultimate rock opinion statement, Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
  • My favs off this album are What Do You Do for Money Honey, Back in Black, Shoot to Thrill, and Hell's Bells.

Reviews around ballad (1.92 of 5)

  • they had 10 hard rock tracks that were destined too sell such classics as, "Hells Bells", "Shoot To Thrill", "Back In Black", to the hard rock ballad
  • With not one slow ballad, today Back in Black remains as one of AC/DC's greatest albums, obviously understood if purchased

  • As his career has progressed, his voice has deteriorated little by little as a result of his gritty vocal style.
  • HOLY S**T
  • While it seems silly for me to stand up to the massive legions of bands this Aussie quintet has had for several years, I still have to say that though AC/DC are good at what they do, Back in Black represents the peak of their enjoyable juvenille style, because afterwards things got a little tiresome

Reviews around drive (1.00 of 5)

  • It never tries to be more than just what it is which is good time, hard driving sweat soaked rock and roll and it is sincere.
  • It has stayed in my mind, the frontrunner of hard driving guitar based rock ever since
  • "Have A Drink On Me" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" are great as well, but the BEST song on the entire record is "Shake A Leg," a song that starts with a slow drum groove courtesy of Phil Rudd and then pauses and then leads into a driving, intense guitar riff that never stops until the song is over.
  • It is what it is, rock in its purest form, hard driving guitars, completely over the top vocals, songs that exude energy and passion
  • The simplest of song lyrics, with hard-driving beats and hard-driving guitar work and hard-driving drums, this is the thunderstorm of rock weather.
