Infusion for the Rock n Roll

You can certainly live without AC DC as a Friend more delicate rock sounds with finesse. But all "without" it's not ... For me it has always been a "love-hate". Actually, it is basically nothing more than party-rock sound, which you can indulge mostly really only in beer and cigarette smoke. And the status quo can often better. And not always to my taste the sometimes prevailing harmony.

But the rock sound of AC DC combines the rock lovers but ultimately. Whether you rather stands on Megadeth or more on Neil Young. For one thing, the rock songs of AC DC all together and thus inspire even the most skeptical ... you have all the necessary "oomph" ... Perhaps this is the secret of AC DC ... I do not know.

I admit that my "Black Ice" did not like quite as good. Unobtrusive / flashy commercial and "sterile" overproduced it seemed to me. Too much "hype" around too much hot air. And then the album is by two or three times by listening to the CD rack. I have received more such works as The Razors Edge or blue-oriented Stiff Upper Lip.

Some preliminary reviews of "Rock Or Bust" in the daily press contributed their remaining in addition that I faced behavior the album. By "average" and even "bad" is mentioned. And after the experience with "Black Ice" was also I logically therefore somewhat cautious on the matter ran. A spontaneous bargain with my esteemed panel local dealer tipped the scales under the motto: "Jeez ... what the heck ... Give them already here!" And in return for the required almost 17 Euros I got unceremoniously now the new album by AC DC. And the realization that critics have not always right ...

And? You would need an album?

Why not? It is by no means an average or even bad. The songs are more varied than its predecessor. Not to say: A lot more varied.

And the new album is quite short ... but that does not matter. Currently seems to be in fashion. Was so similar to the case before the new Heep album "Outsider" or The Brew. Short but intense. And good! In many songs here bubbling of classic blues-rock. This makes them more authentic than to "Black Ice". Sometimes it sounds like early 70's when the blues-rock style, such. As Led Zeppelin, was in its full bloom. I've always liked liked.

"Rock Or Bust" and "Play Ball" are all pleasing, but replaceable AC DC average. Were it not also said highlights like "Dogs Of War", "Hard Times", "Rock The House" or "Emission Control", which have the necessary breathing. In between "Grooved" it quite well.

So the guys have it not only "simple-minded" party rock. And in light of the still very serious staffing problems in the recent past. Since in any case puts a lot of passion went so I can "Rock Or Bust" ultimately recommend.

Hopefully this is not their last album, how many rumors, and there is again a in this goodness. I would much rather ... Because generally considered the rock n roll is currently in intensive care. And the urgent need of an infusion At least if you have to endure the current charts and what is called there "rock". Heaven ... My God ...

As yet so an album like "Rock Or Bust" is but a pure delight. Vlelleicht even the necessary infusion. Prescribed by the "Rock 'n' roll doctors' ...
