Description of Let There Be Rock:
AC/DC's second U.S. release took the raw energy from their debut, High Voltage, up a notch, producing another huge collection of driving, intense songs for serious headbanging, but adding a bit more professionalism into the equation. The songwriting and production are tighter and more focused, and standouts such as "Whole Lotta Rosie," "Problem Child," "Let There Be Rock," and "Bad Boy Boogie" almost have to fight with "filler" like "Go Down" and "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" for the spotlight; but really, there's not a wasted track here. Guitarists Angus and Malcom Young further define their grooves, and vocalist Bon Scott sounds like he's on the verge of combusting. Let There Be Rock is big and lean. --Lorry Fleming
Let There Be Rock Reviews:
Retail Purchaser 
2008-08-29 - Received this item in prompt time, packaged and parcelled to my perfection will shop again and again with Amazon. Very sound.
let there be MORE than rock
2008-03-24 - Wow, this is one powerful rock album. It pack a serious MEAN and NASTY punch. It's raw, straight forward, simple rock and roll with the volume turned WAY up. But wait! That's not all! The band members also give us some highly enjoyable guitar soloing in the title song. This band was truly at their very best in the early days.
Pick it up today and hear how AC/DC used to sound a long time ago when rock and roll was all about innovation and power. Why didn't hard rock bands hold back in the early days? Because it would have been boring to do so. AC/DC knew that's not the direction they wanted to take their music. They didn't want to be the first band to hold back their amazing talent.
When albums this good are released, you just don't know what to DO with yourself. You can't believe the speakers in your home haven't rocked all the way across the living room and into the coffee table, knocking off flowers and coffee cups. A guitar sound SO LOUD it almost cracks the speakers in half and leaves you begging for more, despite the damage you know the guitar playing will cause to your stereo system.
But you know what? We keep coming back to it. We keep coming back to the music and we make it the greatest music we've ever heard in our lives.
best band ever, in best cd ever.
2008-03-23 - everyone should own and listen to this cd. it is some of ac/dc's best work.
Crabsody in Blue is what makes this album the classic it is
2008-03-14 - While I agree that the remastered AC/DC catalogue greatly enhances the listening experience of the Bon-era albums (esp. If you want blood.. - one of the best live rock recordings ever!!), the original remastered Oz edition of "Let There Be Rock" (circa 1992) should not be overlooked (assuming you can find it now!!) as it contains this classic, slow, bluesy masterpiece from Bon - think of it as an extension of 'The Jack' (same theme etc). I prefer this Oz version of the album over the recent remastered version which deletes this (too racy/controversial for international audiences apparently - and "The Jack" wasn't???). Anyway, enjoy this album and play it loud - one of the best albums done by the boys and one of the best hard-rock albums period. Even my hero, Dave Mustaine, has been quoted as having said that this AC/DC album ranks as one of his personal favourites - so it must be that good coming from the King of Thrash himself. Thanks for reading. Can't wait for the new AC/DC album and the promised extensive tour of their homeland - Oz. Cheers, Mark
Well worth it
2008-02-28 - I just picked up all the old AC/DC albums and was really impressed. The sound quality on the re-mastered CDs is so much better than my older versions. After hearing one, I immediately replaced all the old CDs. Its a breath of fresh air for this music, it feels live, raw, and right in your room.
