Double vinyl LP pressing of their 2008 release. Black Ice is the first full-length studio album of all-new material from AC/DC since the release of Stiff Upper Lip in 2000. Produced by Brendan O'Brien at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC, Black Ice premieres 15 new AC/DC compositions and performances including the album's first single, 'Rock 'N' Roll Train'. Sony/BMG.
Black Ice Reviews:
Black Ice 
2009-12-15 - Black Ice being AC/DC 15th studio and their 2008 release is a standard hard rock and heavy metal light release that one has heard many times before and whilst it is not bad it is not all that interesting either. The booklet contains no lyrics but a bunch of photographs of the band and a list of whom plays what. Allmusic, The Guardian and Blender gave the album 3/5 and I agree with this. Compared to great releases like Back in Black this is not nearly as good but then again not a terrible release. 3/5.
Same old song and dance.
2009-12-06 - This is straight up AC/DC.
There are real good songs on this but like some of their recent, they all sound the same.
It's almost like if you listen to the first song you've pretty much heard the entire album.
None the less they still kick, especially for being in their golden years.
AC/DC = AWESOME 
2009-11-20 - Love this cd.
It's old school shake your a** rock n roll.
These guys are still great.
2nd favorite release in the last year.

2009-10-29 - You will find no bigger AC/DC fan than me. I own all of their stuff. I'm writing this because I'm frankly a little shocked that this album is getting so much undeserved hype. The only, and I mean only, song that is remotely decent is Rock N Roll Train. Frankly, you have to go way back to The Razor's Edge for AC/DC's last solid album. It's been all downhill after that, but Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip at least had more than one good song, and I would rank the song "Hard as a Rock" off Ballbreaker among the band's best songs. But Black Ice is just filled with duds. Their lyrics have never been that great since Bon Scott died, but they could certainly get by with the power and the amazing catchy riffs of their music. Well, not with this album. I was hugely disappointed, it's the only album I own of theirs that I almost universally do not like. I'm really kind of surprised AC/DC fans like this album.
Again, to each his own, it's all subjective, but I just want to throw my opinion in the mix that this album is very, very weak. I'd give it 1 star but I'm too much of a fan of the band to do that.
