AC/DC
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

THE REVIEW

The only "bad" thing about making so many masterpieces is that many masterpieces are overshadowed by other masterpieces.

An example is AC/DC, like Iron Maiden, who, up until "For Those About Rock," have only made 5-star albums. One of those overshadowed masterpieces is definitely "DDDDC," just as "Powerage" is.
Sure, they won't reach the level of "Back In Black" or "LTBR," but they could be THE Masterpiece for another band, for example, Van Halen, who, forgive the comparison, with their best album don't even reach half of this LP.

The album starts with the title track, a true hit, with an easily memorable chorus. We continue with "Big Balls" and "Love At First Feel", which, like in "LTBR" with "Dog Eat Dog", serve to lower the tempo a bit from the explosive start. We continue, and we find a very hard and blasting rock'n'roll, worthy of the greatest rock n' roll, "Rocker". "I’m a Rocker! YEAAAAHHAHAHAHA!" Bon is great in this track, as in "Problem Child", which, however, might get tiring after a while with its chord progression. "There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'" is one of my favorites, a wonderful, magnificent blues n' roll, a blues n' roll that albums like "Let There Be Rock" and "Back In Black" lack, being more Hard Rock. "Ain't No Fun" is perhaps the worst on the album, but the ballad "Ride On" is magnificent. Slow, and delighted by an amazing solo from Angus, it is suitable as a Valentine’s Day soundtrack. The album closes with "Squaler", another great track.

In short, if you think that simply picking up "Highway To Hell" and "Back In Black" gives you the best of AC/DC, you're greatly mistaken, as with this album, sweeter and less "badass", they take a step forward, as if they had made another album like the first, it would have been too similar.

Oh, in my previous review, I was criticized for saying that I don't like prog. So what? What's wrong with that? I didn't say prog bands suck, just that I don't like them, and everyone has a genre they don't like. So, if you're offended, that's your problem, and I repeat, "I DON'T LIKE PROG".
