Rating: THE REVIEW
Excluding the loss of the greatest rock voice of all time, you could take the entire discography of AC/DC, compress it and put it on a single CD, and no one would be able to tell where one album starts and another ends.
And this is because AC/DC has always made the same record, or rather, they've always made the same song.
Some, and several of my friends who deserve to die, see this repetitiveness as a very negative thing.
But as Angus Young said: 'When you achieve perfection with the first record, it's normal for the ones that follow to be just like the first.' Well, a bit of a smart-ass comment, but that's the point.
Surely AC/DC has made albums less focused than others, but what is more difficult than always doing the same thing so well that it's still a masterpiece?
We could say, this is yet ANOTHER AC/DC album, therefore ANOTHER masterpiece.
Few can do this, AC/DC, Motorhead, Slayer, and Darkthrone.
Always the same thing, but done so well for years that they've happily kicked our butts without sparing anyone.
And this is because there is no one else who sounds like them, because they invented their own sound.
Long live AC/DC, and a date in Rome please.

The blues in 'Decibel' is pure class: the peak of the album and the band in great shape.
AC/DC play rock'n'roll but are anything but dinosaurs, and they prove it.

What makes an AC/DC album special is only the ability and intensity with which it conveys emotions to us.
'Black Ice' after just a few listens seems like a great album, inspired as it hadn’t been for a long time.
By dark schneider
The beginning gives you goosebumps, but the next two tracks are quite poor and have been repeated billions of times.
No one can afford to criticize them regarding superficial or easily impactful lyrics, because this is their way of making damn rock ‘n roll.
