AC/DC-Stiff Upper Lip (2000)

"Stiff Upper Lip", the fourteenth album by Australian band AC/DC, arrived after a five-year wait, following its predecessor "Ballbreaker" released in 1995. Certified triple platinum and gold, this was one of their last great works, in which they returned to the sounds that most influenced them in their early years. Throughout its twelve tracks, the album never lets up for a single second, featuring the Young brothers' basic yet devastating guitar riffs, Brian Johnson's signature screams, and the crushing rhythm section of Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams. Undisputed hard rock anthems like "Stiff Upper Lip", "Can't Stand Still", "Satellite Blues", "All Screwed Up", "Damned", "Come And Get It" or "Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll", remain oriented towards blues and rock and roll, with an impeccable performance by the whole band, especially by Malcolm Young with his devilish riffs and Angus Young with his fiery guitar solos.
