AC/DC-The Razors Edge (1990)

With "The Razors Edge", the Australian band AC/DC reclaimed their status as one of the greatest hard rock bands. That status had been somewhat questioned after their three previous albums ("Flick of the Switch", "Fly on the Wall", and "Blow Up Your Video"), which, despite their undeniable quality, lacked significant hard rock anthems. Here, they showcase their powerful side with devastating tracks like "Thunderstruck", the blistering "Fire Your Guns", the mighty hard rock of "Rock Your Heart Out", and the solemn rock of "The Razors Edge". At the same time, they were also accessible and commercially appealing with catchier songs like "Shot of Love", "Moneytalks", and "Got You By the Balls", as well as complex compositions like "Mistress for Christmas". Its subsequent reception earned them a dozen Platinum records and over 18 million copies sold worldwide.
