Over AC/DC'S career many fans have argued the toss between which has been their finest hour: the final Bon Scott album "Highway To Hell" or the Brian Johnson debut album "Back In Black"
Don't get me wrong, i would say without a doubt that both of these AC/DC album are classics. However, my favourite AC/DC of all time has always been "The Razors Edge"
This to me has always been one of guys finest album which has often been highly underated.
With classics such as "Fire Your Guns" "Money Talks" and "The Razors Edge" this classic albums see's the band on top form and Brian's voice as crisp and dirty as ever.
Of course to even consider reviewing this album without commenting on "Thunderstruck" would be like discussing the world cup 1966 without mentioning Goeff Hurst. "Thunderstruck" is in my and i'm sure in many AC/DC fans, the track which transformed AC/DC from stadium fillers to true stadium gods. The first time i heard "Thunderstruck" live was when i went to the Monsters Of Rock 91 tour which the boys was headlining. Since the group first played the track live, it has never left set list on any tour the band has performed to date.
This album is Angus and the boys at their very best!

I am going to go against the majority rock lovers in the world and say that this is ac/dc's strongest album, even better than back in black! While back in black is a fantastic album with many great songs most notably hells bells, back in black and you shook me all night long i have to say that this comes out on top
Everything here is vintage ac/dc; stunnig angus riffs, screeching brian johnson vocals and rock soild bass and rhythm guitar. Brian Johnson's voice may have deteriorated a bit by the turn of the decade, but in a way that makes him sound so good, particulary on the bit at the start of thunderstruck. That goes perfectly with Angus's riff. The rest of the album is just as good with some standouts including the super catchy moneytalks and thumping, powerful title track.
All the ingredients for a fantastic ac/dc album are here with so many memorable riffs, clever lyrics and stunning solos. This was actually the first ac/dc album where the young brothers were the only songwriters, without brian as a co-lyricist. It has to be said they pull it off superbly well. While their lyrics were probably stronger in the era of the late Bon Scott, with no disrespect to him I prefer Brian Johnson, as i seem to prefer ac/dc's more hard rock style that they have adopted since brian came rather than their more punk style. That being said they were still amazing in the bon scott days.
Apart from back in black this was probably their most important album. They had stuttered a bit since for those about to rock and rock seemed to be running a bit dry. But they stuck to their guns and they didn't sell out. This was an essential factor in them making such a good album. For me, this album ranks with the greats- appetite for destruction, led zeppelin II and IV, the bends, obviously back in black and now muse's black holes and revalations. Whoever you are, this is a must have for your cd collection.

No-one disputes that Back in Black was and still is AC/DC's finest moment. As so many bands have found, it was almost impossible to follow, but Razors Edge is as close as they have come to recreating that awesome recipe. Thunderstruck is just an awesome track .... on a par with all the old classic tracks. What Razors Edge brings back to the band is that wide and deep production sound found on BiB, this albums bursts out of your speakers and it should be a legal requirement to crank the volume right up ... oh what the modern production techniques employed on this album could do for past AC/DC recordings that sound like they were done in a DIY booth. Very few albums get by without at least one lame track and on this album I would have to confess that Moneytalks smacks of blatant pandedring to the American soft rock market. However, it is still a half decent track. Just buy this cd for Thunderstruck ... beleive me its worth it!
