Like death and taxes, you can count on AC/DC. The Australian metal men, unlike the more daring likes of Metallica, have stuck with one virtually unchanged formula since 1973. While '90s albums such as Who Made Who and Razor's Edge are uneven at best, the five-years-coming Stiff Upper Lip marks a return to the group's Back in Black prime. Muscular, meaty, and powerful, Stiff Upper Lip boasts a dozen instantly hard and heavy classics full of macho bravado, double entendres, and, of course, Angus Young's trademark guitar. From the archetypal title track to the more portentous "House of Jazz" to the forceful, irresistible syncopation of "I Feel Safe in New York City," AC/DC are again at the top of their game. --Katherine Turman

Stiff Upper Lip .......2007-04-03

Good hard rock for your ears. Great big band with good themes: Satellite Blues, Stiff Upper Lip and Give It Up are the most remarkable.

This album is amazing.......2007-03-17

Ok, so it's a little more mellow than your Highway to Hell or your Powerage, but this album just rocks. There are only two songs I don't like and they both come close to the end. Safe in New York City is their best song since Thunderstruck. Stiff Upper Lip improves on Ballbreaker. It has a similar sound. AC/DC sounds a bit different now, but I love it just as much as their old stuff.

Rocks Hard But Uneven.......2007-02-02

After the last Ac/Dc release 'Ballbreaker' I was truly hoping for a comeback album in the league of 'The Razors Edge' but instead they released 'Stiff Upper Lip'...to be fair when I heard the first single on the radio the awesome title track 'Stiff Upper Lip' I was very encouraged,this song is right up there at the top of any list of great Ac/Dc songs,which I have noticed that the band has done since the very beginning,they have always put their strongest songs in the first couple spots on an album (with the only exception being the amazing 'Back In Black' where every song shines equally)
on this release,they follow 'Stiff Upper Lip' with a very cool shift in tempo 'Meltdown' it took me a few listens to really get into this song and I figured out why,it is a total shift from their normal style,this one grooves with subtlety,I like it and it lets the band breathe a little...the next song 'House Of Jazz' just plain confuses me,the music is rather dull and mundane but the lyrics have left me pondering why one of the world's greatest hard rock bands would write a song titled 'House Of Jazz' the chorus offers no explanation "welcome to the house of welcome to the house of welcome to the house of jazz" I suppose I'll never know the answer,it's a strange song and feels really out of place...this is followed by the albums high point 'Hold Me Back' which truly kicks serious [..],it has a beat that almost dares you to not get up and move what you got on a dance floor,the beginning guitar notes remind you a little bit of 'Sink The Pink' (one of my favorite Ac/Dc songs ever) the song builds up slowly and is just awesome,it keeps your foot tapping the whole way through...this is followed by 'Safe In New York City',okay,in the past I have cut them some slack because they are one of the only bands to stick to their guns and not change styles to fit the trends,I respect that,but this song has to be just about the dumbest lyrics I've ever heard,they just got lazy and didn't even try,listen to the chorus..they just didn't try,it just repeats the same phrase over and over and it makes no sense...this is followed by another great song 'Can't Stand Still' which is similar in feel to 'Hold Me Back' a great song that really makes you want to get up and dance,I love this one,from there 'Can't Stop Rock And Roll' perhaps one of the heaviest songs on the CD,this one is classic Ac/Dc and is similar to the feel of the 'Back In Black' album...'Satellite Blues' is okay,nothing that we haven't heard before but isn't awful,this is followed by 'Damned' which is pretty cool,a different kind of vibe but that's nice,this CD doesn't get as dull and boring as the last release 'Ballbreaker' did...this is followed by 'Come And Get It' now I really like this song,it has atmosphere and is very catchy and has a different feel from anything else on the CD,you can tell they did put effort into trying to make the songs sound different from one another...of course the curse of Ac/Dc albums is almost always the last couple songs are the worst and this is no exception...'All Screwed Up' and 'Give It Up' are not memorable at all and I find myself looking at the track numbers to see when the CD will end...over all this is not a bad CD,it's much better then the last release and much better then 'Blow Up Your Video' but it's more then a little uneven

the upside - the band really went for some different feels on this CD,some great classic tunes are included here 'Stiff Upper Lip' 'Hold Me Back' 'Can't Stand Still' and 'Come And Get It' being my personal favorites

the downside - lots of filler...and the overall production feels like the band was in a very small room,there is no space to it,it is lacking the tones that previous albums had,it sounds as if the recording equipment was completely different from past releases which is not really the band's fault but it does effect the listening experience

the bottom line - definitely worth having,especially if you are a true fan,'Stiff Upper Lip' and 'Hold Me Back' alone are worth buying this,however if you are looking for the classic Ac/Dc sound look elsewhere...people new to the band should start with 'Back In Black' 'Highway To Hell' and 'Dirty Deeds' and then move on to the rest of the catalog...this is a big step forward from 'Ballbreaker' but falls far short of their past glories...I really hope they release another big comeback CD like 'The Razors Edge' or 'Fly On The Wall' I have a feeling this great band as at least one more classic album left in them....Donutman says so!!!

AC/DC - 'Stiff Upper Lip' (Eastwest).......2006-12-03

Review #273. Still waiting for Angus Young and crew's follow-up to this superb 2000 CD release. Just all around top of the game Australian meat-and-potato heavy metal.Some say that 'Stiff...' is JUST as good as their 1980 break-through 'Back In Black' album. I tend to agree with that. Tracks here that I found myself playing repeatedly were the title cut "Stiff Upper Lip", "Meltdown", "Hold Me Back", "Satellite Blues" and the outstanding steady rocker "Give It Up" (should've been a million selling single). Simply a must-have.

I like AC/DC but I hate this.......2006-11-25

I like most of AC/DC's music, but I can't stand their latest album Stiff Upper Lip. Stiff Upper Lip is the only AC/DC album where you can play it all the way through, and not even hear one good song. Stiff Upper Lip doesn't even come close to being as good as Back in Black or Highway to Hell. Every song on it just bugs the heck out of me. Listening to one song off this album is enough to test my patience; but enduring all 12 of these musical abominations is enough to drive me crazy! The overall sound is very similar to their earlier albums like Highway to Hell or Back in Black. BUT...those CDs had variety, they were semi original, and they were actually pretty good. THIS CD is just completely worthless. I have heard some cra ppy CDs in my lifetime, but none of them were more pain to listen to than this. The vocalist sounds about 10 times worse than he did on their earlier albums, the music is chunky, repetitive, dull, and boring, and most of the songs sound the same. Stiff Upper Lip is so bland and dull sounding that it sounds more like the monotonous droning of an electric fan than a rock n roll band. The music is so repetitive and similar sounding that its more like listening to the same annoying song for 60 minutes than 12 separate tracks. This CD is just unbelievaby terrible. It is a disgrace to this band's legacy, and the band members should be embarrased by it. Oh well, I guess they probably only made this album because they needed to fulfill their record contract, so I guess they don't care about how awful it is anyway. All I can tell you potential buyers is to stay as far away from this piece of garbage as possible. It is a TOTAL piece of cr ap and it is not fit to listen to. Go buy a GOOD AC/DC CD like Let there Be Rock, High Voltage, Powerage, Highway to Hell, or Back in Black. Stiff Upper Lip suc ks so hard it leaves a big purple bruise. It's so awful I'd rather listen to the new Nickelback CD than this!

Customer Reviews:

Excellent performer.......2007-03-09

This plates are wonderful. I was charmed, and when I close my eyes now, I see scenes with American in Paris or Porgy and Bess but my favorite piece of music is Rhapsody in Blue. It's more than excellent is fantastic. Jack Gibbons perfectly feels the unique tone Gershwin's music, the mixture rythms of jazz with influences of impressionists and clear and beauty melodies.
I'm fascinating.

A unique project.......2006-11-23

Gibbons' undertaking is unique: to reconstruct and then execute and record the note-for-note playing of Gershwin as documented on the composers' piano rolls, sound recordings and certain published arrangements. I agree with the reviewer who points out that the result is like a library and not a recital you sit back and listen to (or get up and dance to). In fact Gibbons does some editing of his "library" now and then, and clearly documents it in his liner notes: in some reconstructions he augments accompaniment effects and even the melodic line itself. I don't mind that at all, especially as Gibbons scrupulously accounts for such tampering in his liner notes; but it seems to me that it is in this area of "tampering" that Gibbons the artist is asserting himself...which of course undermines the "library", the "historical archive": you have to search and read a bit to find out when you're hearing only Gershwin and when you're hearing some added Gibbons. I don't mind; Gibbons is a remarkable artist in his own right, not merely an impeccable documentarian. For sheer generosity of production Gibbons' Gershwin must also be unique: 4 cd's, scholar-level liner notes (yes, you need a magnifying glass to read them), and rock-bottom bargain price.

Gershwin historical, manic, perfect, archival.......2006-06-12

First: this is 4 high-end produced cd's (in low-end jewel cases) for the price of 2. The liner notes of all 4 cd's are condensed in a booklet of microscopic print, so you may need to spend the savings on a magnifying glass. MONEY WELL SPENT.
Second: Jack Gibbons plays (and has recorded) the Alkan op 39 etudes (he probably plays a lot more Alkan than that). For those of you not in the know, this is to say he has world-class chops, indeed history-class (Liszt, who never played his friend Alkan, at least in public). But it's also to say that Gibbons knows how to interpret and personalize fantastically difficult piano music. For me, his Alkan op 39 is personal and passionate and real (contrast the facile and over-pedalled Hamelin and the just-the-notes-ma'me Ringeissen). An appreciation of Gibbons' Alkan is important here because while his Alkan is uniquely personal (as such music must be, no matter how hard it is to play) his Gershwin is deliberately impersonal...which is to say: no pianist, no singer would want to reproduce what Gibbons has given us in these 4 cd's, and in fact few listeners will be able to listen for long to these 4 cd's without a respite, a break , some silence, some minimal styling from somebody (anybody) else...which brings me to
Third: This is an archive, not a recital. This is a library, not a program. There is no track-by-track contrast of moods here, no track-by-track concession to easy listening, varied delight, any more than a library shelf of novels is alphabetized by authors' last names as a concession to mood or fancy or taste of the searching patron. This is the documented Gershwin in his recording mode: manic, notey, clever, "on", and never, as generations of stylists found in him, ravishing, tender, longing, sweet, glad, hopeful...person-to-person, in a word. I can listen to these cd's about half an hour at a time, max. This is Gerwhsin, not Gibbons. And this is just one side of Gershwin. He died at 38, in the summer. Brain tumor. A lot of pain.
Finally, Jack Gibbons has given the world a uniquely valuable and easily available resource. Gibbons could now do us a service by playing us some Gershwin as he feels it, as it hits him and makes him sing (as Gershwin, our American Schubert, does to all of us, and as I think Alkan has done to Gibbons). I would love to see a Gershwin stylings by Gibbons now that Gibbons himself has made sure Gershwin in his authenticity is safe and sound.

Definative.......2005-07-23

Here's the whole Gershwin catalog at a great price... Five plus hours of bliss. Definately five stars!

Gibbons, according to a family friend and biographer Edward jablonski "recreates Gershwin's style." I'll never know. I can say this is a lively recording and has the perfect balance. It's neither stuffy and plodding or cute.

Unless you went to this concert and want a reason to remember the evening, I can't imagine why you'd want to own the CD. It has all the disadvantages of a live concert (acoustics are poor), and applause occurs on top of the performances. The interpretations of the music by the vocalists Tune and McGovern are poor. Save yourself the money....

Decent single.......2000-06-24

Its good for a single, 3 tracks rock. It would have been better if it had one of the non-album tracks from SUL. But, like I said, the fact that it has 3 tracks makes it up {Sorta} If your a collector, buy this for sure, if you dont care, just buy the SUL album.

AC/DC come through with this bluesy, 2/3 live single!.......2000-06-22

For those of you who have never heard any cuts from the live video "No Bull" by AC/DC, this is the single for you! It really showcases just how great AC/DC is live. Featuring two of the best songs off of "Ballbreaker," both the title track and "Hard As a Rock" performed live off of "No Bull", plus one of AC/DC's newest and best songs "Stiff Upper Lip," this import single is definitely worth the price for any AC/DC fan. A must have, as it's virtually impossible to find any CD-quality tracks from "No Bull." Go for it!

Hands up who wants to rock.......2004-12-12

AC/DC deliver there trade mark song composing again in this brilliant Rock N Roll album. when the new millenium was upon us, Angus and Malcolm decided to release what other's wernt, a good straight simple Rock N Roll album. Going back to there inspiraation, you hear the Junior Wells influence in the Title track, and an approach they havent used iin year in the song House Of Jazz, prooving that even without Power Chords, AC/DC can still make a song rock. OF course songs like Safe In New York City and Satalite Blues are pure examples of AC/DC writing the best of the simple riffs that just knock your socks off. A couple of the songs like House Of Jazz and Cant Hold Me Back I did not like at first, but they are just like any other AC/DC song, give them time, and they grow on you!

The only downfall I have towards this album is that it is only about 40 minutes long! And on the TOUR edition, with the bonus disk, there is a song that didnt make the LP "Cyberspace" and it defnitly should have been included with the album, along with the other unreleased tracks from the same recording session of SUL, "The #### Crows", "Rave On", "Let It Go" & "Whistle Blower. So lets hope they get released some day, maybe when this title gets re-mastered in future?

I wouldnt recomend this album to anyone just getting into AC/DC, This album is more for the AC/DC fan really, it will depend on tastes of music to decifer wether you would like it or not, but it is a straight out rock n roll album, composed by the formulas The Young brothers are so great at doing.

ANd please note, that even tho Amazon has it written that is a live track, thats not correct, CYBERSPACE is a studio recording.

Weakest AC/DC album yet.......2004-06-28

I love AC/DC and I was very excited when this album came out mainly because they have not recorded an album with new matierial in 3 or 4 years. I was very disappointed! Brian Johnson's voice is wearing out and it shows on this album especially in the live songs(I bought the Stiff Upper Lip DVD too.) Angus and Malcom's riffs aren't that catchy!
Stiff Upper Lip is the best song and after that there aren't anymore songs that will stick in your head or even make you think, hay that was pretty good.

I THOUGHT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ALBUM, ESPECIALLY HAVING LIVE TRACKS FROM THEIR LASTEST TOUR. STIFF UPPER LIP TOUR 2001.

This is a great way to combine AC/DC's newest album and their smashing concerts. AC/DC live is a must see, it can't be descibed without being seen.

It's impossible to get tired of this. Gershwin, Porter and Kern were musical giants and this 2-CD set showcases a bundle of their best: overtures from their Broadway shows, ranging from the well-known (Kiss Me Kate) to the undeservedly obscure (Very Warm for May). It's bouncy and breezy and a guaranteed cure for what ails you. Mondegreen fans will have a ball trying to catch all the words in the "Swing Time" sequence.

Hands up who wants to rock.......2004-12-12

AC/DC deliver there trade mark song composing again in this brilliant Rock N Roll album. when the new millenium was upon us, Angus and Malcolm decided to release what other's wernt, a good straight simple Rock N Roll album. Going back to there inspiraation, you hear the Junior Wells influence in the Title track, and an approach they havent used iin year in the song House Of Jazz, prooving that even without Power Chords, AC/DC can still make a song rock. OF course songs like Safe In New York City and Satalite Blues are pure examples of AC/DC writing the best of the simple riffs that just knock your socks off. A couple of the songs like House Of Jazz and Cant Hold Me Back I did not like at first, but they are just like any other AC/DC song, give them time, and they grow on you!

The only downfall I have towards this album is that it is only about 40 minutes long! And on the TOUR edition, with the bonus disk, there is a song that didnt make the LP "Cyberspace" and it defnitly should have been included with the album, along with the other unreleased tracks from the same recording session of SUL, "Rave On", "Let It Go" & "Whistle Blower and the other one. So lets hope they get released some day, maybe when this title gets re-mastered in future?

I wouldnt recomend this album to anyone just getting into AC/DC, This album is more for the AC/DC fan really, it will depend on tastes of music to decifer wether you would like it or not, but it is a straight out rock n roll album, composed by the formulas The Young brothers are so great at doing.

ANd please note, that even tho Amazon has it written that is a live track, thats not correct, CYBERSPACE is a studio recording.
