Description
Back In Black was the group’s first album with new vocalist Brian Johnson and was released only five months after Bon Scott’s alcohol-related death in early 1980. This album eventually became one of rock’s all-time classics. Johnson had the same bluesy edge as Scott but even more power. Back In Black contains such rock anthems as the title track, “Hell’s Bells,” “Shoot To Thrill,” “Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.”

| Back in Black, in my opinion, is the quintessential AC/DC album. Every tune is top notch, offering the listener catchy riff work, straight ahead boom-boom and some great lyric work. With Hell's Bells as the anthem piece, the rest of the LP follows in stride and keeps the listener on his toes time after time. The heavy vinyl release surely usurps the CD, and this is a must-have LP for any rock-n-roller with an audiophile bent. |
