AC/DC Review / Deee-Lite Preview (Album 17)

(AC/DC preview here) AC/DC is considered by many a classic rock and roll band. This album came out the same year that the previous lead singer died. They didn't waste very much time getting back into the groove of things, and subsequently created one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time. The songs are all pretty similar, but that isn't a bad thing. They hit their stride of heavy riffs that many people will air-guitar, catchy lyrics for pretty much every song, and in most a guitar solo that can still compete with the greats, not to mention the not-so-subtle sexual references in almost all the song names. The only complaint that I have for part of the album is the studio fade-out. This isn't just for AC/DC though, it just stuck out to me for this album in particular. It doesn't seem very 'musician' to me to make a song end by simply fading into the background. It's ok guys, just write an ending to the song. Other than that, this album has stood the test of time rather grandly.

Edit: I recently picked up this vinyl for about 8 bucks. It still reeks of that 'classic rock-n-roll' smell

Favorite Songs:
     Shoot To Thrill

"Recent history has not been been kind to this New York City-raised group that took its name from Cole Porter's "It's Delovely." The trio is commonly remembered as a one-hit wonder, but the gold-certified debut World Clique still stands as a convincing argument that Deee-Lite deserves to be more than just a Trivial Pursuit answer." - Jim Harrington
