For more awesome posts about the 35th (!) anniversary of this release, check out BOPPIN and DEKE!

This is a re-post for me. Turns out, I covered it back on March 17, 2014!

READ IT RIGHT HERE!

I’d received this disc as a gift from our Heavy Metal Overlord. WHAT A GIFT!

Listening back to it for this post, I found I agreed with my past self, so there ain’t a whole lot extra to add. I ain’t cheaping out on the post word count, I’m too busy rocking!

For Those About To Rock (We Salute You), indeed!

    In my opinion, the last great AC/DC record. ‘Flick of the Switch’ had its moments, but everything after that was pretty spotty/same-y. Hearing them play “For Those About To Rock” live was a monumental point in my teen-dom. Cannons blasting from both sides of the stage it was a visceral experience for me in November of 1991 at the Fort Wayne Coliseum.

      I wanted to disagree with you. But I can’t really. You’re right. Having said that, I love Stiff Upper Lip, but it’s not a “great AC/DC record” in the same caliber as this one.

            I kinda like Fly On The Wall, actually. Not perfect, but “Fly On The Wall”, “Shake Your Foundations”, “Sink The Pink” and “Danger” are all great songs.
