This magnificent album, so commented, so listened to, so recorded in our mind, in our skin, companion of so many battles, that I arrived with absolute ownership to the history of rock. It is a round disc, applied, faithful, loyal and so catchy that it would be impossible to qualify it with less than the qualifier of essential. From beginning to end, its level is optimal and despite the tragedy that affects the band, it is still 100% AC / DC, rock and roll, conviction, consistent and masterful in the handling of time by the Young. Here the global explosion of AC / DC takes place, it is the super sales, it is the one that places them among the largest of the greats, certainly helped by the success of its predecessor, the great “Highway To Hell”. 1980, Bon Scott has died, there is a great crisis, the band wonders whether to continue or not, but the desire can go further, and there is no better tribute to Bon than to continue. The idea of a substitute gains strength.
In the seventies, Geordie was a group of Rock, of discreet and irregular success. In one of his performances, for the United Kingdom, they share the stage with Fraternity, of which Bon was a part and especially call his attention, he is pleasantly surprised with the vocalist, later manifesting the Young and the other members, which is one of his favorite singers. This great little story is key, because it is also what a Chicago fan also took into account to send a letter and a tape to the band, upon learning that they were auditioning vocalists and that they did not find the formula, both Malcolm and Angus followed deeply affected by Bon's death. Finally, an English search order is activated throughout England, which was in his native Newcastle working as a mechanic. Brian, audition with "Whole Lotta Rosie", among others, defends himself in the interpretation and the following week keeps the position, with great respect, showing great disposition, collaboration to the spirit of the band and especially to the work. Immediately he achieves a very good harmony with all the members, his great sense of humor helped a lot for this, and well, what happened next, there is very little that he could add, 42 million albums sold, world tours, headliner and Madness for AC / DC. The album is a complete tribute to Bon, starting with its cover, black and in total mourning, who does not know it? Who has not heard any song from this album? If that character exists, it must be a hermit, someone who has not lived or is simply deaf. This work is repeated as producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, fully backed for the success of the previous album. They are going to record to Bahamas, for lack of availability on the one hand along with the temptation to evade taxes to the Compass Point Studios of Nassau. This little one, because it will always be small and necessary introduction, is to keep in mind the context in which the album is born, which make the work savor more and is not, in any case, a pyrotechnic display of knowledge and anecdotes, which are certainly thousands .

A selection of unforgettable themes:
Hells Bells, the band had commissioned a Loughborough foundry to melt a huge bell, but at the time of the recording it was not ready, finally what was recorded is a bell tower, recorded with a mobile device. Monumental song, extraordinary riffs, perfect time management and the entrance of the Young ?, ufff! Almost speechless, the band is clearly wounded, but here they sound like a rock, they are a racing car, they are full of life and strengthened. These bells from hell are an ode to Rock, a whirlwind of talent. What a debut of Brian! It is the dream debut, an instant anthem, undisputed holder of the live performances until today, it is his first cannonball as a frontman, opening an album that ends up being a declaration of principles and a celebration of the desire to continue on top.
Shoot To Thrill, it is pure power, raw harmony, it turns you on at first, riffs are the specialty of the house, brand “Young”, partying, cheerful, partying, Let no one interrupt me or cross my path, AC / DC is breaking me apart, and I'm happy! Only with these two songs, you already liked the album. Brian already has two cannon shots of two, better impossible!
What Do You Do For Money Honey, the thunder of cymbals and guitars, crush the beginning, the Young, like a beast are on the prowl, enter, and the work is completed, well, another wonder, Brian looks, his vocal ability reaches all records, already convinced and takes over the situation. For Brian, again an optimal level, three of three. Phil, accompanies with an unmatched mastery, accurate, with surgical precision, perfectly manages his role, does not flash, but knows at all times, what, how and when to do, his percussion never fails.
Given The Dog to Bone, there is no doubt that Brian has come to stay, it is his debut, and he does it in a big way, it reaches sharp and inimitable tones, marking the seal of AC / DC, unmistakable, the riff abducts us to enjoy, shake eternally head and hopefully be electrified by an eternal voltage called AC / DC.
Let Me Put My Love InTo You, exquisite beginning, Cliff sounds loud and clear, like the beats of a giant heart saturated with blood. Lowering the revolutions of the previous song, this shows us all a jewel, leaving us seduced, trapped, totally delivered to penetrate, and of course, if Brian gives us the key: Do not resist, do not offer a fight, do not worry because it is your Turn tonight, let me introduce my love into you baby Explicit! never better said.
Back in Black, without presentations of any kind, this song was born to belong to humanity, it emerges from its creators, who levitate together with the gods to give life to this black diamond, gives name to the disc and is the seed of so much harvest , so much influence and fruitless imitation.
You Shook Me All Night Long, it is made of pure steel, and so you want to be, hard, in bed, all night, without poetry, candles or preamble, nothing that wastes your time, just giving a lush night all night woman, to leave you breathless, all sweaty, she exhausted by your performance, you stand in front of her offering more, "only if you can", AC / DC is with you.

Have A Drink On Me, it's a blues rock, Young's creativity is in the clouds, the album has already taken off a long time ago, it already bewitched you, give up! This duel album has no limits and the sky will not be enough.
Shake A Leg, accelerated song, is an injection of adrenaline, at this point the disc is already on another level, although it has nothing to continue demonstrating, it continues to fascinate and surprise you, the end point clearly does not exist. This great song shows the moment to start celebrating a victory, because the boys have returned, they have succeeded and they have triumphed, the laurels are for them.
Rock And Roll Ain´t Noise Pollution, evokes everything, bar, beer, smoke, night, the always present blues, drunk, by the way I am one of them! And what matters, the work is done, everything has turned out perfectly, all have worked and rendered with supreme mastery, the album is sublime. Glorious the fate that brought these geniuses together, Bon in the distance, must have been more than satisfied and honored with his deserved tribute, with this great tribute, which was born for once again, to make AC / DC an immortal band. I'm still possessed, hey Brian! I forgot… ..10 out of ten.
