My goal for the Spring semester is to finish reviewing all of AC/DC's international studio album releases. So I'm hoping to cover all of their albums by mid to late March. I reviewed High Voltage (1976) already, so if you haven't already, go check it out! The next album on the list is Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976).... Continue Reading →
Travel back to the Rock or Bust era. Phil Rudd had to face his demons and couldn't participate in the tour; Brian Johnson had to step out during the fifth leg of the tour or risk hearing loss, and Cliff Williams decided that he had enough. By that point, the only members left were Angus Young and... Continue Reading →
In May/June of 2020, I was randomly scrolling through YouTube when a concert called "AC/DC Stiff Upper Lip Live" popped into my feed. I thought, "what the heck, I'll give it a shot!" And that concert changed my life, or at least how I feel about AC/DC. I had a few of their songs on... Continue Reading →
It was the summer of 2020, and my obsession with AC/DC was at its peak! I've watched enough live footage to know that they are one kick*** live band. I made up my mind that I wanted to buy a concert release, but I had no idea which one to get; I got torn between No... Continue Reading →
Now we get to the sad album, the last AC/DC album released before former rhythm guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young passed away on November 18, 2017. Rock or Bust (2014) is the band's 16th (15th internationally released) studio album. What's interesting about this album is that it's the first to feature Mal and Angus' nephew, Stevie...

Moving on from Stiff Upper Lip (2000), today, I'll be focusing on Black Ice (2008). It is the band's 15th (14th internationally released) studio album. Black Ice's development got stalled due to bassist Cliff Williams recovering from a hand injury and AC/DC changing record labels. Not only is it the band's longest gap between studio albums (eight years), but it... Continue Reading →
For my last AC/DC review, I gave my thoughts on Ballbreaker (1995), now I'll be looking at Stiff Upper Lip (2000). I bought the Stiff Upper Lip album in June/July; it's all a blur now. The point is, we're here, and I'm ready to share my thoughts on the band's 14th (13th internationally released) studio album. "Stiff Upper Lip" started the... Continue Reading →
AC/DC was "back in business," thanks to the success of 1990s The Razors Edge, which contains "Moneytalks" and "Thunderstruck." It was their first (and only) studio album with drummer Chris Slade; though, he wouldn't last long as fate would have it that the boys would reunite with former drummer Phil Rudd, who left some big shoes...

AC/DC released their 17th studio album today, so in celebration of that, I'll be sharing my top five AC/DC songs of all time. Why bring up only five? That's because ten songs would be too easy; come on! I don't do things the easy way, in case you haven't noticed! Also, I'm only doing one... Continue Reading →
Ok, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but it did get you to click on this review. Right? I was going to do a review on Queen's first album, but after a trip to the Book Off at Pearlridge this past Friday, those plans changed. I scored four kickass albums, including AC/DC's High Voltage (1976). The... Continue Reading →
