AC/DC Black Ice CD (2008)

There is no Australian rock band that has done more for the reputation of the power chord than AC/DC, a fact that remains true whether you are fifteen or fifty-five and whether you are hearing Highway to Hell for the first time or the four hundredth.

Black Ice arrived in 2008 after an eight-year gap and debuted at number one in twenty-nine countries, which for a band playing the same three-chord template they have played since 1973 is either absurd or a testament to the fact that when something works, it works. This is the digipak CD edition, pressed in Australia, and it sounds exactly like every AC/DC record you have ever loved because that is the whole point. Rock Candy, War Machine, Anything Goes, sixteen tracks of the kind of rock that refuses to apologise for itself.

CD digipak. Full-length album, 2008. Australian press.
