Flick of the Switch Reviews:
OVERLOOKED ACDC CLASSIC 
2009-10-12 - after 3 albums with mutt lange ACDC decided to produce themselves. what you get is an album that sounds much in the same vien as BACK IN BLACK & FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK.
Flick of the Switch Review 
2009-09-28 - I had this album on cassette for years, but wanted to download the tracks to my iPod so I purchased this CD. The sound quality is much better and apparently they remastered all of the songs anyway. I would recommend this album for any die hard AC/DC fans.
A Little Brain Shake for You 
2009-09-26 - This was one of the two AC/DC albums I usually listened to in my childhood. The other one was "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)". This album is often regarded as one of the worst albums AC/DC has ever made. I cannot agree although I have to admit that this is not same kind of classic as "Highway to Hell" or "Back in Black". There's "Rising Power", "This House Is On Fire", "Nervous Shakedown", and "Deep in the Hole" which are very popular among AC/DC fans, at least in Finland. Although there's tracks like "Landslide" and "Guns for Hire", I wasn't able to be without listening to this album many times through before I decided to review it. I think there's great sense of humour in the lyrics. One of my favorite tracks in this album is "Bedlam in Belgium" which is quite catchy for its melody and riffs. The song "Badlands" has a riff that reminds me of Led Zeppelin's "The Rover". The last song "Brain Shake" is a typical AC/DC track otherwise but quite fast and still quite powerful.
Stars: Bedlam in Belgium, Nervous Shakedown, Rising Power
THE REAL FAN/NOT THE REAL FAN
2009-09-06 - Malcolm Young's solo album with little brother being fed his usual raw meat; George and Harry still in the shadows- probably just piano duty by now, helping to coax out the last great configurations of the genre this band stamped before the Hair scene- Malcolm now mature with the studio savvy to put his nuts on the line without big brother or Mutt. Pure vision, pure attitude, pure AC/DC essence, what Mal really envisioned in a band! Cut with live tracks and some of Phil Rudd's best right hooks; and Brian Johnson's last biblical studio session before the pipes burst (should have fired him after Wall); but we still love him- but Mal is stubborn you know! AND like I said before- and I really like the dude- but Nikki Sixx: You can wake up in a hundred body bags and live 200 years but you will still never make an album half as good as Flick of The Switch!
Average AC/DC
2009-05-23 - Not bad but not exactly good either. Enjoyable to listen to but it lacks that certain "something" that AC/DC does so well.
