RIFFTASTIC, POWERHOUSE, RAW, TONGUE IN CHEEK, BELTING - THIS HAS BEEN AC/DC'S MOST CONSISTENTLY UNDERRATED ALBUM AND THEREFORE ONE OF THE MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED HARD ROCK ALBUMS OF ALL TIME AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN TOTALLY FLUMMUXED AS TO WHY, IT'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE VERY, VERY BEST STUFF THEY'VE DONE AND I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO EVERYTHING THEY'VE EVER DONE FOR A QUARTER OF A CENTURY. PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, BUY, REJOICE AND TRY TO STOP YOUR HEAD MOVING!!

I remember Angus Young being interviewed on R1 when this came out. He said the main difference between this album and the last one was the colourful record sleeve. I think that he was right on the money on two counts. Firstly, of course the album is cartoon like and quite appealing to look at. However I think that Angus was suggesting that this album compared to Flick of the Switch is far more varied and has much more appeal and accessibility. If you think about Flick of the Switch, it does come across as stark and hard, whereas this one is colourful and accessible, despite the fact that it is one of AC/DC's harder efforts. It optimise's the hard rock sound of the mid 80's perfectly. Loud, brash and fun.
All of the songs are good and some are excellent and can compete with AC/DC's best output post Bon Scott. Sink the Pink, Fly on the Wall and Danger are simply brilliant headbanging toe tapping songs. All the rest support perfectly.
I have every AC/DC record made, like many of their fans and I can honestly say that this has been one of the most played of them all. It is much derided by some and I don't understand why, because it really is a great piece of work. For me this is the last of the records made with Brian Johnson for a while that pull together like a collection. This belongs with that great period of time when their best was made and it easily slips into the group with Back in Black, For Those About to Rock and Flick of the Switch. After these we've had a series of less good albums generally until their return to form with Black Ice.
Overall without a doubt their most underrated album of all.

Crank up the volume
For an album that was considered by many to be the worst they've ever done, its the one that gets the most airplay in mine and Im sure many other AC/DC fans collections. Read more

hard rock classic
I really like this album; it has consistently enjoyable solid songs, air thumping riffs. Every song has punch but I particularly like the last two.

a good one that rocks.
It's good ac dc, with some great songs on here, I bought this one back then and enjoyed some of the songs as much as their older stuff. Sink the pink" was the standout track here. Read more

Danger!
Along with Flick of the Switch, Fly on the Wall is evidence of somewhat of a creative slump for the band in the mid 80s. Read more

Worst ever
Not much has to be said about this album. ACDC at their lowest ebb. Shocking..

Probably their weakest
Ouch, this hurts. Whereas Flick of the Switch came as a surprise, because it contained a string of enjoyable rockers and sounded appropriately raw and dirty, Fly on the Wall nearly... Read more

Arguably the poorest AC/DC album
Fly on the wall is very easy to summarise. Sink The Pink and Shake Your Foundations are OK. The rest of the album is awful. Read more
