Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC / DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David Cantwell

CD Description
It will always be a mystery how a grown man can spend his life wearing a school tie and short pants and receive adulation from the heavy metal fraternity. HM followers do not tolerate a cissy, yet the hugely talented Angus Young has becomesomething of a hero. His riff-laden fills, combined with the tough vocals of the late Bon Scott, made AC/DC one of the genre's all-time leading lights. Bordering on the lighter side of metal, songs such as 'Love Hungry Man', 'Touch Too Much' and the title track will always delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seminal hard rock., 1 Nov 2002
This review is from: Highway to Hell (Audio CD)
AC/DC didn't get any better than this. The tunes are killers, the guitar playing is phenomenal, the vocals see Bon reaching his apex. The production on this record is as dry as a bone, and locked down tight. Buying this on CD, after listening to it on an old tape for years, has made me fall in love with it all over again. Superb hard rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but not the Zenith!!!, 21 Oct 2005
This review is from: Highway to Hell (Audio CD)
Highway to Hell is the a great example of a Bon Scott album. The production is excellent with Malcom and Angus's brother producing for the last time, and they actually manage to get convincing backing vocals. The album is crammed with drunk anthems, ( the title song, if you want blood youve got it etc). The two greatest songs for me are shot down in flames, and touch too much. If you buy the bonfire box set you can hear the orginal demo versions of these songs, and its amazing to see how they changed for the final album release. This is a great slab of rock as it should be, no-nonsense blues ballsy rock and roll. However for me as great as it is, its not as great as Powerage ( the previous album), powerage had that earthy feeling of true genuis, highway to hell is more smooth and slick and designed to be that way. Powerage was accidental genius, and more in your face ear bleeding rock power. However that said go and buy this album play it at 10 and remember that true rock is not going anywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tight as a duck's arse, 6 Jun 2006
By Some Bloke (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Highway to Hell (Audio CD)
AC/DC hit their peak with this masterpiece of boogie rock, and it was immediately followed by the death of vocalist Bon Scott.

This album contains all the inventive wizadry of Angus Young's lead guitar and Bon's effervescent vocals.

This is the album with the classics on - Touch Too Much, Shot Down in Flames, Highway To Hell. Each track has its own character and feel, and each has a real buzz with the guitar. Bon was a bar-room poet with thinking man's lyrics about real life. Sometimes the topics aren't all that, but he always sounds good.

This is a full-metal album but there's plenty of melodic riffs and the rhythmn section is second to none. A real party record. Bon belts out each track but doesn't resort to the modern faux-aggression of a gutteral growl. His attitude is enough.

Each track seems to have just come together by magic. Top metal record.
