Customer Review

AC / DC High Voltage (1975)

First appearance of schoolboys guitarist Angus Young, together with the brustbeharrten About rockers Bon Scott and the Combo AC / DC fired us fat riffs to put on compromises without much value.

The Getting Started in Cover Baby, Please Do not Go. With fast beats and staccato riffs they pay homage to the blues veteran Big Joe Williams. Angus' solos are not virtuosic or particularly sophisticated, but the quick, dirty, pentatonic Klimperei is simply fun. These Bon, the animal's going with his whiskey-geschwängerten voice.

Once you get listening to the lyrics, will quickly notice that they are mostly just uncompromising. It comes to sex and ... sex. Sometimes ambiguous, sometimes clearly ambiguous, but always with a cheeky wink. The second song is called She's Got Balls, any questions? This song works in the end just like the next song. 1-chord riffs in the verse, 3-chord riffs in the chorus and a blues groove at its best, a little solo from Angus, finished. Musically, the album stands up to Soul Stripper no longer really stands out, and even monotonous in the long run. Here the one or other particular idea would not have been bad.

On the other hand one needs at such music not thinking too much and it's just fun. Simply keeping the fun. Worth mentioning would definitely be the bloodcurdling vocals in Stick around. Bon has it just depends.

And what now saves on time scoring against excessive Montonie? Now, the band has all shipped to the end the real highlights. You is not got a hold on me includes all AC / DC ingredients described above, but shines with the brilliant chorus and the text. And the Closer showbiz is the up-tempo blues-rock number par excellence. So rock 'n' roll must listen. Stur a blues scheme, stubborn a pentatonic guitar interlude, stubborn singalong chorus and this is meant everything in the most positive sense.

And then we would have still the glam piece Love Song. Here you realize that the band has somehow not found a consistent style between blues, rock, hard rock and heavy. Love Song is (Who would have thought it?) A love song falls ipso facto from the frame, is a ballad and especially really pure glam. Nevertheless, Bon shines with the vocal power and you take him this contrast program from The melody is simple and ergreifendend awesome. Love Song is a true masterpiece on an inhomogeneous work on which there is also production-nothing to complain about. All songs are, according to the music, simple.

Conclusion: An inhomogeneous early work a probable exceptional band, where the last three hits save the plate before monotonous riff-stagnation. But these songs are worthy to have the album and also the rest of the songs are not bad, but unfortunately not very varied.
