Free Music Review: AC/DC showing they have nothing left to prove
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is more laid back than any of their material since the '80's, with somewhat rawer production and without the more obvious "arena anthem" type songwriting we saw on The Razor's Edge. Consequently, the album eases into a solid mid-intensity groove and pretty much sticks with it until the end. Personally, I find it a really nice listen. But others might conclude that the band is playing it safe and that some of the fire is gone. It's a thin line, usually, between laid back and boring.
Once again, the Young brothers write all of the material, including the lyrics. While I always prefer it when Johnson writes his own lyrics, I think the Youngs do a better job on Still Upper Lip than on Ballbreaker or The Razor's Edge. The double entendres are less forced and the subject matter is less weird. It's great to hear Phil Rudd on this record. His drum playing is straight down the middle and no frills, but nobody brings more feel to a straight hard rock four-four beat than Phil Rudd does.
In summary, this should not be one of your first AC/DC albums. However, if you have most of their catalog, I don't think you'll be disappointed. The band has nothing left to prove to anybody. However, with this album they show they still rock.
Stiff Upper Lip Poster
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 TurmanPop Music CDs
