Most critics complain Back...
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
Back in Black, Rock and roll aint noise pollution, and you shook me all night long
Back in Black, Rock and roll aint noise pollution, and you shook me all night long
This has got to be the greatest rock and roll album of all time
Rock N Roll Aint Noise Pollution" and " What Do You Do For Money
Every track, from the hauting "hell's bells" through the hard-rocking anthem "rock and roll aint noise pollution" is a masterpiece, with angus young throwing in some of his best leads yet
Is there a better Rock and Roll album, by minute, than this
If you appreciate loud, real rock and roll, this cd is for you
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.
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
What Do You Do For Money Honey", "Given The Dog A Bone", "Let Me Put My Love Into You", and "Have A Drink On Me" are all very much marred by perfunctory riffs
YOU HELLS BELLS" .Fallowed by SHOOT TO THRILL wich is another classic on this cd the opening riff is amazing with the little good,the bad,and the ugly riffs in the middle
the guitar and bass riffs suck balls the singer sound like he is getting raped my favorite song on the album is back in the ass
What Do You Do For Money Honey", "Given The Dog A Bone", "Let Me Put My Love Into You", and "Have A Drink On Me" are all very much marred by perfunctory riffs
The call-and-response of "Givin the Dog a Bone," the deep, repetitive riffs of "Shoot to
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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

all only song i didnt like very well on this album was Shake a
Its just that their greatest weakness, like those of punk rock bands, is their repetitive and samey style
Its just that their greatest weakness, like those of punk rock bands, is their repetitive and samey style
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
After the untimely death of lead singer Bon Scott, AC/DC was in complete disarray
It features the famous rock staples "Back in Black", "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Hells Bells", and "Shoot to Thrill", as well as the lesser-known but equally powerful

This was the first album featuring Brian Johnson after the untimely death of Bon Scott, the original singer and co-founder
The beginning of "Shake A Leg" sounds like a watered down rehash of the opening to "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
Especially rock and roll aint noise pollution and shake a leg
And there are some songs with alot of... enthusiasm, like shake a leg and shoot to thrill
All Night Long" (covered by Anastacia + Celine Dion??!!?? on VH1 Divas Las Vegas) to the cool "Have A Drink On Me" to the catchy "Shake A Leg" and ending with the statement of purpose "Rock + Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", with the
All Night Long, Shake a Leg, and Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution are the best songs on here
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.

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
