Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This is rock as its most unapologetic: raw, aggressive, basic, full-on metal with more than a touch of schoolboy sexism. 1980's Robert "Mutt" Lange-produced Back In Black might've been where the Australian band hit it big, but one has to return to the gritty, guttural tones of original singer Bon Scott to appreciate AC/DC at their fiercest. In particular, the garage, almost punk-style production on "Problem Child", the title track and denim classic "Whole Lotta Rosie" showcased the Young brothers' no-nonsense riffing technique at its hardest and most ass-kicking. Metal was built on albums like this: Black Sabbath's debut, Led Zeppelin and Thin Lizzy--no-nonsense screaming coupled with often childish lyrics matched to the most primal of riffs. An unbeatable combination. --Everett True

Somehow, this album captures all the buzz and excitement of a live gig with its simplicity and raw honesty, which is some feat considering it's a studio album! 'Whole Lotta Rosie' is worth the money alone for Angus's lead guitar work, but there's not a single track that you'd want to skip through.
If you only listen to one AC/DC album, it has to be this one...

this is a great AC/DC album it shows them as the monsters of rock with such songs as "Go Down", "Let There Be Rock", "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be" & "Whole Lotta Rosie" this is worth getting to hear them at there best as well as the "Highway To Hell" album, Let There Be Rock is a must get kinda album and i reconmend it to anyone whos a fan of rock & metal

I find it hard to believe that Back in Black & Highway to Hell seem to earn AC/DC more plaudits than Let There be Rock. I bought it recently and was more than a little surprised. Initially I wanted it solely for arguably AC/DC's greatest song, 'Whole Lotta Rosie'. I just wasn't prepared for how good the entire album is from start to finish. This is a rollercoaster ride of an album, that begins at the top and continues to gather speed until it's highlight, the aforementioned Whole Lotta Rosie. Fans of the band that haven't heard this MUST check this out. This puts Back in Black in the shade for me and is a far more "raw" rock & roll album than Highway to Hell. A stunning album!!!

let there be rock
For me, this is their best album overall. As usual the lyrics are a bit inane but the music is in a class of its own.

Still sounds great after all this time.
What an easy listen. The two highlights have got to be "Let There Be Rock" and "Whole Lotta Rosie". In my view their best album. Read more
