Back in Black/You Shook Me All Night Long [CD-single]

Amazon.com essential recording
Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, a big cartoon. All true, of course, and--on rock 'n' ragers like "What Do You Do For Money Honey," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and the title track--all great. As Scott's replacement Brian Johnson reminds us, loud and crunchy, no-holds-barred "rock and roll ain't noise pollution...it makes good, good sense." Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back in Black. --David Cantwell

Not Bad, but need a second album..........2007-06-24

How can you have an ACDC tribute album without Highway To Hell. The music on this album is very good, but is unfullfilling without the aforemenioned number. I encourage them to make a second CD with more ACDC tunes on it, to really cover all the bases.

An Excellent CD!!!!!!.......2003-12-19

I think that the reviewer that gave this CD a single star has not heard this CD because:

1. It is an excellent CD
2. The guy who did it, did the Coldplay CD
3. The site he gave is the Record Label that this CD is on and this CD can be bought there

I have listened to this CD over and over again and it is one of my favorite string tribute CDs. I own all of the CDs that this group has put out and if you want to see a list of all of the CDs they have done, you can check out their String Tribute Forum at:

i respect the whole neo-classical thing, but this cd is bad. sounds like somone sequenced the songs in their synthesizer. check out http://www.thetributeto.com/acdc/ . they perform their tributes, and do it well. i haven't heard their ac/dc tribute, but their other tributes (linkin park, 311, coldplay) are awesome.

Totally Suprised!!!.......2003-09-01

I read about this CD on an AC/DC Fan site and they had a link to purchase it here. I bought the CD without hearing any clips or anything. So, buying it sight unseen, made me feel a little aprehensive.

Well, when it arrived I couldn't wait. I took it with me to work and played it in the car on the way. WHAT A GREAT CD & A GREAT IDEA!!! I love this CD! After hearing how well done this CD was, I decided to do something special for my wife ....and .... I took the next day off from work (which was a Friday) and prepared a wonderful steak dinner while my wife was at her job. I got a really good bottle of wine and I set the table with our finest table settings ... Candles lit and everything prepared ...When she got home, I had the candles burning, the lights were out, the table was set and I started the CD.... KAHPOWW!!! She freaked completely out! Needless to say, we had a wonderful time and what a way to romance my Rock & Roll Queen!!!

We've been fans of AC/DC since the 80s and this is probably one of our favorite AC/DC CDs, now!

I would suggest this CD to anyone who loves AC/DC and wants to add some spark to their romance .... We have candlelit dinners a couple times a month now and this CD is the main attraction!!!

Average customer rating: This rock 'n roll ain't noise pollution! AC/DC has never made a better CD than this. One of those classic must have records in the annals of rock n roll A good starter for the 80s Simple Lyrics. Simple Beats. Great Rock!

This rock 'n roll ain't noise pollution!.......2007-06-25

Yes,this ROCK 'N ROLL AIN'T NOISE POLLUTION. That track is on many playlists of classic rock radio stations along with the title track,HELLS BELLS,GIVEN THE DOG A BONE and YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG. Fans who own this 1980 release also own DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP,FLICK OF THE SWITCH,FLY ON THE WALL and THE RAZOR'S EDGE. Awesome album!

AC/DC has never made a better CD than this........2007-05-17

Absolute best and absolute must-have AC/DC CD ever made.

If you are going to get 1 AC/DC in your life, make absolutely sure to get "Back in Black".

1 and only manitory AC/DC to get.

One of those classic must have records in the annals of rock n roll.......2007-05-16

For those who don't know, this is not only a great album but it's also the important album that demonstrated AC/DC had a future after Bon Scott. This album is not only critical for fans of AC/DC, but those of rock n roll period.

A good starter for the 80s.......2007-05-06

Filled with raw agression and true rock 'n' roll spirit, Back in Black is an awesome starting album for the 80s and arguably the finest of the decade. The suspenseful, ominous chimes of "Hells Bells" introduce the album to the rock scenery just as AC/DC would do. "Shoot to Thrill" is also an instant hard-rocker, with great riffs and well thought out vocals. The heavy metal opening riffs of "Givin' the Dog a Bone" cautiously prepare you for the latter song "Let Me Put My Love into You," one of the album's letdowns. This, however, is completely contrary to some of the other songs, such as the instant hit "Back in Black," which is literally one of the best songs I've ever heard. It has awesome and ideal licks for any song of its genre, and one of the best guitar solos ever. Its successor, "You Shook Me All Night Long," also has nice riffs, and good lyrics/vocals to boot. The Hendrix-like guitar solo for "Shake a Leg" makes you want to jump and start headbanging straight away; as does the rest of the song. The album leaves you with "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," which all hard rock fans should be singing in defense against today's rap listeners. Back in Black is a great album that you should buy whenever you get the chance, but songs like "What Do You Do for Money, Honey?" and "Let Me Put My Love into You" can be hard to listen to. Overall a great album from AC/DC that could give vocalists like Freddie Mercury and guitarists like Jimi Hendrix a run for their money. If you don't have this album you should definately add it to your collection.

Simple Lyrics. Simple Beats. Great Rock!.......2007-04-22

Whenever I'm in a down mood and I want to just blow that downer mood away, I turn to AC-DC's "Back In Black". The simplest of song lyrics, with hard-driving beats and hard-driving guitar work and hard-driving drums, this is the thunderstorm of rock weather. It separates itself from the usual hard-rock by having very catchy melodies and surprisingly crafted studio engineering quality. Its purpose: to have some really loud, raucous fun. What is ISN'T: if you're looking to have your nose really rubbed in some genuinely dirty twisted nastiness, you won't get that with this disc. It also has no quiet nuance; no lilting, breathless, barely audible poetry; no gentle ethereal transcendental softness. But It Really Rocks. Women, Alcohol, Rock. Great Simple Fun.
