Description of Back in Black/You Shook Me All Night Long:
Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, a big cartoon. All true, of course, and--on rock 'n' ragers like "What Do You Do For Money Honey," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and the title track--all great. As Scott's replacement Brian Johnson reminds us, loud and crunchy, no-holds-barred "rock and roll ain't noise pollution...it makes good, good sense." Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back in Black. --David Cantwell

Back in Black/You Shook Me All Night Long Reviews:
Beginning of the End
2008-10-27 - Although this is the first full-length with Brian Johnson on vocals, the band had already seemingly reached their musical peak during the Bon Scott era. The 8 releases that followed this album are almost identical in substance, and weigh heavily on the release of the title track from each respective album to keep fans interested. The previous 6 studio releases with Bon contained at least some variation as the tracks progressed through the album. It seemed like producer extraordinaire, Mutt Lange, mastered the tracks for this album to sound polished and radio-ready during the recording process. You can hear similar over-production on titles such as "Hysteria" and "Come on Over." Stick with the earlier AC/DC releases for true gritty rock n' roll.

The Album that made me listen to everything else
2008-10-05 - This is probably the single most important album I've ever heard. Without this, I wouldn't be anywhere with music. I'd be listening to all this new crap that sucks. From the opening gong of Hells Bells to the final note of Brian Johnson's favorite Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, you will not be disappointed. When I saw them in 2001 on the Stiff Upper Lip tour, they played half the album, or close to it. I saw Hell's Bells, they opened with Shook Me All Night Long, Halfway through I heard Rock and Roll..., Back in Black, and the second song was Shoot to Thrill. If you don't own any version, someone should smack you. Where have you been? This band holds the 2nd highest number of catalogue sales in the U.S. second only to the Beatles, but that's no surprise. Most of the album still gets radio play. Buy it now (probably the 2003 remaster) now. Then go back and listen to Bon Scott piss people off.

Great old Pink Floyd music
2008-09-07 - Well, I was just trying to collect all of the Pnk Floyd music that I could and ran across this one. Yea, if you want a piece of the Sid Barret era stuff, this is one to get.

One star reviewers just don't get it.
2008-06-05 - I really don't understand how anyone can give this classic album on DualDisc a one star review.Granted,the audio may not be up to their exacting standards,but that's just nitpicking.Real fans of this album and this group will be glad to see the bonus video footage on the DVD side.I know I was.

Perspective of a simple "Please and thank you" country boy.
2008-04-09 - I grew up occasionally listening to AC/DC, always in the background from friends playing it at school or in a car. It never stood out to me. Now at 41 I rediscovered this old band and like it a lot. I especially like listening to it while weight lifting. "Back in Black" and "Dirty Deeds" are both raw and raunchy (like the classic Mississippi Delta Blues these guys probably grew up listening to), but after listening to both several times I find that song for song, "Dirty Deeds" is better than "Back in Black". Both have AC/DC's signature sound and are milestones of the hard rock genre, but I just don't get tired of listening to "Dirty Deeds" which I can't say about "Back in Black". In rediscovering this band, I was a little surprised to later find out that next to Michael Jackson's "Thriller", "Back in Black" is the #2 selling album of all time. Okay, but I personally don't hear it in the album. But this is just the perspective of a straight white male with no tattoos whose favorite album of all time is Dire Strait's "Brothers in Arms"....
