THE REVIEW
Published in Europe and the United States under the title "High Voltage", this first work of theirs (excluding "'74 Jailbreak") actually contains the first two mini albums "T.N.T." and "High Voltage" released only for the Australian market. A truly exceptional debut for the Scottish-origin group, which delivers a hit of hard rock with the blues elements of their origins. The tracks are great, well played, and intense, immediately foreshadowing that something extremely grand is in the works for the future, which indeed turned out to be the case.
The album is genuine without unnecessary frills, driven by superb arrangements and top-quality material. You could almost say they unknowingly created grunge (I apologize if anyone takes offense). The opening track is a true escalation of guitar riffs with notable vocal melody, then it moves into a breathtaking blues track like "The Jack", or the beautiful "T.N.T.", which became a staple at their concerts, up to the electrifying "High Voltage." In short, the genre is rock, and inventing something new would be really difficult, but it can probably be said that they made a good contribution to making it great, and for a debut album, it doesn't seem bad to me...
let there be rock!

AC/DC, through High Voltage unwittingly refounded Hard Rock for the second time.
"T.N.T" is the masterpiece of the album, splendidly interpreted by Scott's hoarse, otherworldly, and devilish voice.
By YC
AC/DC should be listened to in periods, after long pauses, only when you truly desire simplicity, of a bare but strong guitar, of a bare amplifier, of a hoarse, angry voice, a scratch of vocal cords.
Because it is immature, as I feel immature, and it is of a rock wonderfully empty of everything except energy, as I feel.
