THE REVIEW
I am honored to review my favorite band, I wish I could have lived in those years and maybe in Australia.
We're in 1981 and their biggest best-seller, "Back In Black", was released a year ago, making it really difficult to replicate that level of success. Anyway, the style does not change, and when has it ever changed?!
We are talking about the band that rivals Daft Punk for the most repetitive music. The result is the usual guaranteed fun with Brian's screams, Angus's solos, and the usual dirty rock n blues riffs for real idiots. Among the songs, of course, "For Those About To Rock" stands out — a true masterpiece and the closing track of every kangaroo concert, along with "Let's Get It Up", "C. O. D.", and very little else.
The album reached number one on the charts as soon as it was released and it was the only one from Ac/Dc to do so, but its success is due to the momentum of previous hits, certainly not for its actual quality. An avoidable album if you're not true fans.

Summary by Bot
The review honors AC/DC's consistent style in their 1981 album For Those About To Rock, acknowledging iconic elements like Brian Johnson's vocals and Angus Young's guitar solos. While the album reached number one, it is described as repetitive and mostly appealing to dedicated fans. Classic tracks like the title song stand out, but overall the album is seen as less essential than their previous work.Tracklist Lyrics Videos

"For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) is a sterile, repetitive album... that borders on the banal."
The title track is a CANNONBALL full of energy and became a concert closer.

'Perhaps this is what makes me love AC/DC so unreservedly more than anything else, their total dedication to the most classic and heartfelt rock.'
'If you only remember the bangs of the title track, pull it out from the dark recesses of your record collection and let it rock your stereo system.'
