Ach, let's face it though, AC/DC haven't really done a truly great album since "Back in Black".
Sure, there have been highlights over the years - "Thunderstruck" and some others that slip my mind (not a good sign) for instance, but I think to expect anything other than more of the same ol' thing is ultimately going to lead to disappointment.
Anyway, just got my hands on the new one, so will post my opinion of it in a while. As I said, I'm not expecting U2 or Shania Twain, I'm expecting more of the same ol' same ol'.
Thank Jebus for Bon Scott, and the brilliantly powerful (truly powerful, not the massively distorted guitar sounds of the Brian Johnson era) bluesy, slightly overdiven stuff they did back then.
I may have to listen to "Dirty Deeds" before I give the new one a go. Just for comparison's sake.
