Free Music Review: Their forgotten album
Hit: 4 Stars
Over time, AC/DC's 1978 release, Powerage, has become their forgotten album. Released between the classic studio albums, Let There Be Rock and Highway to Hell respectively, Powerage is rarely mentioned among their better releases. In reality, it is stronger album than the bigger selling releases High Voltage and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and is more consistent than the bulk of the Brian Johnson albums. Powerage is best known for "Sin City", one of their best songs ever, which they still play live. However, there are a lot of other great tracks here including "Riff Raff", which features one of Angus Young's best riffs, the celebratory "Gimme a Bullet", the laid back "Gone Shootin'", and the opening anthem, "Rock and Roll Damnation." Other strong tracks include "Down Payment Blues", another great anthem in "Up to My Neck in You", and the seething ode to breakups, "Kicked in the Teeth." While not on the level of their classic albums (Let There Be Rock, Highway to Hell, Back in Black), Powerage is a very underrated release from the Australian quintet and is certainly worth checking out.
Powerage Poster
AC/DC's fourth album is the lull after the triumph of Let There Be Rock and before the mighty peaks of If You Want Blood You've Got It and Highway to Hell. Powerage contains all the familiar AC/DC trademarks: Bon Scott's rather less than Yeatsian lyrical vision ("Rock & Roll Damnation," "Up to My Neck in You"), Angus Young's brilliantly minimal guitar playing, a rhythm section as relentless and efficient as an infantry regiment, and the astute production of former Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young; however, it lacks a truly transcendent moment, a "Whole Lotta Rosie" or a "T.N.T." Of course, even an average AC/DC album is an eloquent lesson in the fundamentals of rock & roll, and by that token Powerage still blows most opposition out of the water. Bon Scott's exultant declaration of working-class solidarity, "Riff Raff," is worth six Bon Jovi albums on its own. --Andrew Mueller2003 remastered reissue of 1978 album packaged in a digipak with 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia, and liner notes.
