| If one were to make a list of albums that were the most overrated albums of all time, what albums do you think would make the list? Led Zeppelin IV, Master Of Puppets, Appetite For Destruction will probably make the list. And than of course, AC/DC’s “masterpiece” Back In Black will most likely be on this blatant list. There is nothing that special about this album, really. The musicianship is lacking, as the playing is elementary and not polished. It seems as though Angus Young saves the musical aspect of Back In Black with his SG, forking out a few fine guitar riffs and solos. You’ll find many songs that are complete rubbish, such as Givin’ The Dog A Bone, Let Me Put My Love Into You, Have A Drink On Me, etc. As you can tell, AC/DC didn’t cook up a good chemistry of musicians, that’s for sure. The only song that is really coherent is thrown at you at the very beginning of the album, Hells Bells, a tune that showcases a thorough melodic aspect, as well as Young’s guitar technique. So, for the record, Back In Black= Good music, not really. Overrated, yes. |
