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


CD Description

If possible, AC/DC actually made their sound denser on its sophomore effort, LET THERE BE ROCK. A darker album than itspredecessor, HIGH VOLTAGE, this album leans further towardsAC/DC's twisted extension in the blues tradition. Which is not to say that the band relented from its three-chord powerriffing for one millisecond. The presence of Angus Young's mighty Gibson SG looms over the album like a sheet of lead on a windless day. What has changed is the inclusion of longer songs like "Go Down", "Dog Eat Dog", and the floor rattling "Let There be Rock", all of which feature ripping interplay between Bon Scott's perverse howl and Young's straight forthe throat guitar lines.
Where others hint at hormone-driven themes of lust and adolescent rebellion, AC/DC revel inthem with abandon. Thus "Bad Boy Boogie" and "Problem Child" are songs your parents are sure to hate with heartfelt passion. The album's highlights are "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be", a mighty fist-waver whose references to warmer climatesare something that only the most uptight will take seriously and the near classic "Whole Lotta Rosie", which would become one of the band's live staples and show-stoppers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive AC/DC Album, 27 Dec 2006
By J. Edgar (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!, 9 Mar 2006
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!!!
