Album Review: AC/DC – Blow Up Your Video (1988)

Overview: 
Blow Up Your Video was well received, especially after the debacle of the last two albums, but it still fell under the “can they play anything else?” umbrella that has followed the band throughout their career.  That being said, the energy from the band is and always has been undeniable.

Tracks you may know: 
Heatseeker and That’s The Way I Wanna Rock & Roll – They are lumped together because they are so similar.  They are not bad songs, but like the rest of the AC/DC catalogue, they are interchangeable. 

Tracks you should know:
Meanstreak – The best track on the album, and one of the best of the Brian Johnson era.

My personal favorite:
Meanstreak – A walking beat and a killer guitar lick make this the best track on the album, by far.

Album rating: 
Looooooots of filler tracks on this one don’t make for a great album. The critics and general public may have liked it, but aside from a few tracks I’d rather listen to any other album.  This is probably my least favorite, and their most forgettable album.


3/10
