Format:Audio CD
Ballbreaker, the most recent Ac/dc studio album, sees the original rockers return to their bluesy roots in bombastic style. While Razor's edge had an altogether more stadium-friendly, commercial sound, this collection of choice cuts is less polished and all the better for it. The opening track "Hard As A Rock" sees Angus and company resurrect the ghost of Bon Scott in a ballsy rocker that would surely have brought a tear to the great man's eye. The fine form is continued on "Cover You In Oil", which revolves around one of the grooviest riffs ever to have exploded from a guitar. The themes explored on the album typically involve tales of hard drinking ("Whiskey On The Rocks"), tough men ("Boogie Man") and even tougher women ("Ballbreaker"). There's nothing too original here then, but Ac/dc have never claimed to be anything but hard rockin' riff monsters who tap into the seedier elements of rock star living. This is not quite a classic, but great stuff none the less. Music to break balls by.

After the wilderness years of simon wright on drums, and then Chris Slade (who did a decent job), and the cock rock staduim filling era of the razors edge, AC DC returned with Phil Rudd on drums. This album is a return to the glory days of powerage and let there be rock, no nonsense blues ballsy rock filled with carry-on eseque double entrendres and amazing riffs. I was really suprised by how good this album is hail ceaser, ballbreaker, hard as a rock and the furor are as good ads the late 70s hey days. This songs fit well into the live set. Brian Johnson said in an interview having Phil back on drums was like fitting into your favorite jeans, comfortable. He's bloody right this is the best albums since back in black

i bought this collection mainly for the cd's of the live paris gig(let there be rock the movie now out on bluray)a corking gig showing ac/dc in their pomp,however the highlight of the set is the live archive disc from radio broadcasts and such like i personally would have liked more of this rather than including back in black which to me seemed pointless

The Furor
Well. This came as a surprise. After starting with High Voltage and absorbing every one of their albums since in order, I was rather wary of this one. Why? Read more

AC-DC in great sound and shape!
I'm sort of revisiting some albums that came out during the beginning of the 90's, when I started to buy my own records (I was 14 then). Read more

Excellent sound
It' s not easy finding a very good sounding Cd like this, I hope it has not been remastered or modified after his first release. Really great quality.

Ballbreaker
`Ballbreaker' tends to get overlooked sometimes in favour of such gems as `Back in Black' and `Highway to Hell' (both awesome albums), but it has as much to offer as these albums... Read more
