And all the records reviewed here are the international editions, and not the original, highly-collectable Aussie versions. But just five years later, with Fly On The Wall , they got everything wrong — horribly so.
But with Fly On The Wall they lost the plot. All told, the album is a disaster. Although that said, some people like it. You earned it, and they took pride in a job well done. Nobody ever bought Powerage and felt cheated. You might feel a little slighted banging through go-nowhere boogie-dirges like Ruff Stuff, Go Zone or Nick of Time , however. This they got, as Flick Of The Switch definitely seems thrown together.
It may have been a cynical move, but at least it brought the title track to international attention. Originally the final track on the Australian release of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap , and a single in , Jailbreak had been excised from the international version of that album, meaning that, four years after Bon Scott 's death, it was the first time many of us heard his gleeful tale of dirty deeds and desperate measures. A great slice of blues storytelling, Bon has possibly never sounded more like his hero Alex Harvey than here, while Angus Young's SG-imitation of spotlights, sirens and rifle fire are a sweet touch.
The other tracks all originally appeared on the Australian release of debut album High Voltage. In particular, he paid attention to coaxing short, bursting hook lines out of Angus: the kind of flourishes he had shown off on Highway To Hell or Back In Black , but which had all but slipped from his repertoire.
Frontman Brian Johnson — forced to scrape at the upper limits of his range for years — was allowed to come down a notch and a result he sung with the conviction of an old school soul man. Best of all, both Decibel and the title track stirred up a tasty blues-boogie gumbo that recalled nothing so much as s vintage ZZ Top — Angus blowing hot, blue and righteous like Billy Gibbons.
Each was underpinned by the eternally stomping teaming of bassist Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd. It proved to be their most successful record since then too.
Released on October 20 , it rocketed to No. Nothing can last forever. Malcolm Young, who founded the band with brother and fellow guitarist Angus in , was diagnosed with dementia and had retired from the band. And how. Nowhere is this more explicitly stated than on the title track, which heaves along on the kind of monolithic riff Angus Young patented sometime around the Stone Age. It could easily be Black Sabbath in their evil prime. Some shuffling occurred prior to the band recording this adrenaline shot of an album in British Columbia.
Drummer Singer Wright stepped out to work with Dio and veteran drummer Chris Slade was brought in for the ever-present pummeling back beat. Brian Johnson stepped aside as lyricist for this album, leaving Malcolm and Angus completely in charge of songwriting for the first time. It was a smart move. In addition to "Thunderstruck," the band brought out "Moneytalks," probably the closest thing the band ever came to writing a pop song. Then there was "Are You Ready"—one of their fiercest calls to action.
The gritty edge and booming chants on this album were a welcome reminder for a new generation that pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll was fiercely alive and well.
