Reviews of: Highway to Hellby AC/DC
Product Description What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC / DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David Cantwell Reviews AC/DC at their finest If I had to pick my 10 favourite albums of all time this would have to be in the top 3. It is by a fair margin the best album AC/DC has ever produced. Bon Scott's voice is at its peak and the whole band just rocks. It's a shame that Bon died so young as he had the finest voice in rock and even to this day I can't think of anyone who comes close. If you only buy one AC/DC album then make it this one. 2008-12-20 Rock at its best This has to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and for me AC/DC`s second best after the previous "Powerage".The production on this is excellent, recently purchased this on cd as my vinyl copy is on its last legs.Great to hear it again, where do you start,all great tunes but stand out for me are,Highway to hell,walk all over you,If you want blood and touch to much. I was lucky enough to see this tour and went two nights running at Manchester Apollo,awesome.Have a great memory of being at the Led Zep Knebworth gig in 79 and they played this album in full over the pa system. Of course this was Bon Scott`s last album and he was/is sadly missed.After this album came their biggest selling album"Back in Black", another great solid record but for me the Bon Scott era was in another league. If you have been on another planet or have just discovered AC/DC, buy this album,"Powerage", "Let there be rock", and as for AC/DC phrase 2, buy "Back in Black" and then jump forward to the present and buy the new album "Black Ice",which for me is the best vocal display by Brian Johnson has ever put on any of his previous records since "Back in black". If he`d sang more like this earlier I would not have got bored with them as I did from 1983 untill 2001, when "Stiff upper lip" restored some pride. Anyhow back to "Highway to Hell", its brill, go and buy it,wack the volume up and enjoy. 2008-11-06 HARD ROCK........................... What can anyone find to say about AC/DC that is not all praise? - One of the best rock bands of all time! - This superb album contains the AC/DC rock anthem "Highway To Hell". Angus and Bon are shown at their rocking best, giving it all they've got. Through a series of memorable songs, we terminate in "Night Prowler" - Bon's way of saying "goodbye" - a really creepy number that makes the hair stand up on the neck. Whilst this is not my favourite AC/DC album, falling short of "Let There Be Rock", it comes close. A CLASSIC! 2008-10-09 Legends of Rock just before they peak What an album. 10 songs of utter rock genius. This is by far in my opinion AC-CD's second best album after Back to Black. Highway to Hell is more like Highway to Rock Heaven. How can you not buy this re-mastered album at £4.99. 2008-09-23 Best Rock and Roll statement since Chuck Berry This album contains the best riffs, the best rhythm and the best raunchy vocals ever! Nuff Said. 2008-09-01 |
