Free Music Notes for For Those About to Rock We Salute You
Free Music Review: The skies alight with the guitar bite...
Hit: 4 Stars
The enormous success of 'Back in Black' demanded a follow up full of equally momentous hard rock anthems, so AC/DC along with Mutt Lange (for one last time) tried to recreate the magic of 'BnB' and released 'For Those About to Rock We Salute You' in November of 1981. It was a letdown but it's still a damn good record. The problem is the songwriting sounds awfully tired. The constant flow of gold for the 'BnB' formula started to dry up....it's like they were trying TOO hard. Brian Johnson is the main culprit...he was starting to show his limitations as a lyricist. Lange's production was again flawless in terms of sound quality, I just wished he could have helped Brian out a little more. There really is only one classic, the title track of course which is a metal masterpiece and the gunfire gives me the chills! Angus' solos sound strangely muted here, like the sound is too fine. Other faves include "Evil Walks", "Put the Finger on You" and "Inject the Venom". The rest of the album is full of what seems like 'Back in Black' rejects - most of the 2nd side is just not that interesting - good songs but nothing great. I really like this album but AC/DC had this incredible legacy which started circa 1977 and records like 'FTATR' just can't stand up to it. The shadow of Bon Scott certainly loomed large indeed, something that one of the greatest bands who ever plugged into a stack of Marshalls would have to live with to the present day.
For Those About to Rock We Salute You Poster
Lesser bands might have been put off their stride by the death of their lead singer, but not AC/DC. No sooner had Bon Scott met his whiskey-sodden end in 1980 than AC/DC recruited a new singer, Brian Johnson--who sounded almost exactly like Scott--and released, in Back in Black, the biggest-selling album of their career. For Those About to Rock...We Salute You is a suitably triumphant follow-up. The cannon-punctuated title track--the most auspicious marriage of music and artillery since Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"--still provides a spectacular finale to AC/DC concerts. For Those About to Rock also confirmed that Johnson's lyrical preoccupations were broadly congruent with those of his predecessor: "Let's Get It Up" and "Inject the Venom" are as subtle as their titles sound. This is a record Beavis and Butthead would describe as "cool"--and, as usual, they'd be right. --Andrew MuellerFull Title - For Those About To Rock We Salute You. 2003 remastered reissue of 1981 album. Packaged in a digipak with 16 page color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and liner notes. Epic.
