Brevity is the soul of wit!

... As is well known, as the saying goes, and also to the latest release of the Australian hit the to. The old men do it here in 35 minutes some firecrackers and very little mediocre accommodate.
What do you expect at all of AC / DC? You get what is on it, each album again. And that's a good thing. Who would now forgive nor experiments or even a real ballad of the band ...? ;) Basically, you can see the albums always divided since 1990 into two categories: multi-blues-heavy or more faster Hard Rock. At that time was "Black Ice" In 2008 a large collection of groovy riff-smashers, AC / DC tend again here, as with "Ball Breaker", "and" Stiff Upper Lip ", the bluesy direction.
"Rock or Bust" rocks pretty good, sometimes unusually heavy and incredibly Blue watered. Mid-tempo songs determine the majority of the board, only one fast song ("Baptism By Fire") is present, but which all exceed what is otherwise. For me the highlight of the album.
More firecrackers are are "Hard Times", "Dogs of War" (with backing vocals from Angus), and "Rock the House" and "Emission Control" which already drifting with their riffs almost in Deep Purple'sche layers, almost like a mixture as if Glover and Blackmore times just passed in the studio.
Some songs do not quite ride and do not really want light, but they are still very solid. However, it is not going on at "Miss Adventure", "Rock the Blues Away" and "Got Some Rock n Roll Thunder" feel as h # TTE can be a lot more of it.
A total of 7 of 11 songs are real Kracher how she had the band anno 2014 hardly have expected, given the absence of Malcom Young. His nephew Stevie makes his job satisfactorily, but can not replace him, of course ...
The sound of the album is mainly on vinyl a true revelation! And even the CD know this time not quite as much compression on as usual, what is really pleasing.
