Black Ice

Is this the best AC/DC album since 'For those About To Rock'?

While still nowhere near as good as any of the Bon era albums IMHO this is one of their better albums, Brian's voice is far better suited to the slower bluesier tracks.

Can't wait to see them in April

Best since Back in Black, IMHO, now that Phil is back in the seat.

You can listen to the whole album before you decide to buy it over on their web site.

Certainly sounds like a decent return to form.

My first Ac/Dc gig was in '76 at the Leith Town Hall, Edinburgh.

One thing the trax I believe have been badly clipped during mastering.

Funny I noticed that too. Angus' intro on Runaway Train sounds dreadful beyond belief.

But good songs and apart from a few bits here and there, great overall sound.

This is Rock 'n' Roll Train. Clipped and compressed.

Yet to hear the whole album yet, still in the car and doesn't sound too bad in that environment cranked up Cool

Yet to take it inside so can't comment about mastering quality yet.
