Free Music Review: HELL REALLY AIN'T A BAD PLACE TO BE.....
Hit: 5 Stars
Heres the thing. When you have the digipack, you can use it to unlock certain pages at the official AC/DC website. I forgot about this; every album includes something different. This particular one unlocks the rare songs CRABSODY IN BLUE and CARRY ME HOME. The first one is a slow bluesy song about (take a guess) and the second one is one of the greatest god damned hell foresaken tracks EVER! I never understood why this song was never released on any albums in the U.S.
Oh well, you can at least hear it if you have a computer, which I assume you do since you are here reading this.
This album LET THERE BE ROCK is a great addition to the AC/DC collection all the same. Powerfull RAW rock and roll riffs that tear most everything else ever apart. Probably even the heaviest AC/DC riffs ever! Bon Scott as always is the man.
You really should ONLY listen to this when it is VERY VERY LOUD. I know I say that a lot, but with this album, it really does not have any effect unless it is EXTREMELY LOUD, in which case it sends pulses and vibes of raw energy strait through you!
OOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEAAAAA-YAAAAA

Face it, Bon Scott was ten times better than Brian Johnson. I don't care what anybody says about Back in Black being their best album. Bon's singing was smooth and sexy when he wanted it to be, and coarse and loud when he wanted it to be. Brian Johnson sounds like the "Where's the beef?" lady.This is maybe the best Bon album, with not one, but two rock anthems (the title track and Whole Lotta Rosie). As always, the man who Angus described as "special" and "a lunatic" (you're Angus Young, and you're calling someone ELSE a lunatic?) doesn't disappoint, with funny lyrics about sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. Angus and Malcolms lay down riffs that will be copied, with little or no changes, by other bands. (Compare ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" and this album's "Bad Boy Boogie"). The drums... why are they even there? Seriously, AC/DC has never been known for great drumming, so it doesn't matter, so I didn't factor it into the score. As the title of this review subtly (wink wink) implies, the high point of the whole album is when Bon yells "LETTHEREBEROCK!!!!!!!!"

AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock" is just as good as any Bon Scott album except for one striking difference: it rocks with a particularly fierce aggression you won't find in much of the group's pre- "Back in Black" material. The brothers Young are completely at the top of their game, as their guitars project with demanding authority on tracks like the dynamic title cut and "Overdose." "Let There Be Rock" is also known for signature classics like "Bad Boy Boogie," "Whole Lotta Rosie," and the catchy "Problem Child." Listening to this album also helped me come to a realization: the more I listen to early AC/DC, the more I favor vocalist Bon Scott. With no disrespect to Brian Johnson, I have to say that Bon's voice had a commanding personality that complimented the music pretty well. It's as much a vital instrument as Angus's guitar. But getting back to this album: it's a thoroughly enjoyable CD with zero filler and rocks 100% of the time. Like any AC/DC record, if you're not listening to "Let There Be Rock" at maximum volume, you're not listening to it at all.Free Music Review: Crabsody in Blue is what makes this album the classic it is

While I agree that the remastered AC/DC catalogue greatly enhances the listening experience of the Bon-era albums (esp. If you want blood.. - one of the best live rock recordings ever!!), the original remastered Oz edition of "Let There Be Rock" (circa 1992) should not be overlooked (assuming you can find it now!!) as it contains this classic, slow, bluesy masterpiece from Bon - think of it as an extension of 'The Jack' (same theme etc). I prefer this Oz version of the album over the recent remastered version which deletes this (too racy/controversial for international audiences apparently - and "The Jack" wasn't???). Anyway, enjoy this album and play it loud - one of the best albums done by the boys and one of the best hard-rock albums period. Even my hero, Dave Mustaine, has been quoted as having said that this AC/DC album ranks as one of his personal favourites - so it must be that good coming from the King of Thrash himself. Thanks for reading. Can't wait for the new AC/DC album and the promised extensive tour of their homeland - Oz. Cheers, MarkFree Music Review: Bon,you are not forgotten!

This would be ACDC's final album before the highly commercialized and successful "Highyway To Hell"."LTBR" is in my opinion ACDC's greatest and toughest album.Bon Scott still remains the better lead singer of ACDC,I tend to disregard the band's material with screecher Brian Johnson(he just doesn't cut it).From the perverted "Go Down" all the way to the closing riffs of "Whole Lotta Rosie",the LP proves they rocked way harder back in the day and with much more attitude.The Young brothers' riffs are loud and pulse-pounding,Bon's voice tops it all off like a cherry whether it be the sly and sexy lyrics of "Go Down" or the fast and sleek feel of the title track.Back In Black is highly overrated and compared to this baby,this is one wins by a long shot just because of that raw and unpolished sound.Bon is the essential ACDC lead singer and all the material they put out in the 70s tops everything they put out starting with Back In Black.Long live ACDC and Bon Scott!!!
