Overview:
We had a seven year wait from Stiff Upper Lip to Black Ice. You would hope, with a wait of that length,
that the results would be well worth it.
Well, AC/DC didn’t reinvent themselves, that’s for sure, but they sure
did follow the path they had tread with the last three albums to tremendous
success.
Tracks you may
know:
Rock N Roll Train – The lead single for the album is
definitely an AC/DC song, with the strong guitars, sing-along chorus, and great
solo.
Tracks you should
know:
Spoilin’ For a Fight – A good song full of fast guitars and
Brian Johnson’s growl, quintessential AC/DC.
Decibel – A slower song (much “Black Ice”) with a walking
beat for the guitars. Similar? Yes.
Good? Hell yes.
My personal favorite:
Black Ice – A bluesy song with a heavy riff to it, this
closes the album and does as good of a job of it as “If You Dare” from The Razor’s Edge.
Album rating:
Stiff Upper Lip
part II is just as good as its predecessor.
8/10
