The inner sleeve shows black-and-white live pictures of the band members, except for Brian Johnson, who was new in the band at the time and hasn't performed yet with AC/DC.Bon Scott’s alcohol-related death in early 1980 couldn’t have come at a worse time for AC/DC; the band was poised for worldwide breakthrough success, as their last album, Highway to Hell, was Angus and company’s first gold-certified stateside release. From start to finish, the 1980 masterwork remains an archetype of stripped-down hard rock and lewd pleasures. The riff is akin to a more MOR hard rock tune and the song itself is not the usual rip-roarer that heralds a new AC/DC set. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. They made an excellent choice in selecting Brian Johnson as their new vocalist; while he had the same bluesy edge as Scott, Johnson sang with more power and conviction.

Shoot to Thrill' is a run of the mill hard rocker that they do so well, and usually in their sleep(!

Back in Black is a collection of fine rock anthems to put it mildly, from the legendary opener 'Hells Bells' to high-octane 'Shoot to Thrill', the title track, 'You Shook Me. By the late 1970s, AC/DC began to achieve significant popularity outside their native Australia, with high-energy live performances and a string of successful albums. The first album from the new group, Back in Black, was issued only five months after Scott's passing but immediately rocketed up the charts, eventually becoming one of rock's all-time classics.

Features the singles 'You Shook Me All Night Long', 'Hells Bells', 'Back in Black' and 'Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution'. I have played this album on and off now for about thirty years and it still sounds fresh and exciting - a superb rock album and what air guitars were made for.

This took longer than their other albums to really enjoy, as there are a lot of tongue-in-cheek party songs to digest and these are not my favourite usually, but there are very few average tracks here. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.It wasn't a massive change, and Brian Johnson is very suited to the role, but coming after the 5 (or 6) albums prior to this, it was very noticeable.
