Amazon Review

AC/DC emerged from Australia in the mid-1970s onto the global music scene. Despite their success with "Highway to Hell," they were hit by the tragedy of losing lead singer Bon Scott. "Back in Black" marks the release of the album with Brian Johnson. Opening with the sound of bells commemorating the death of Bon Scott, the album is so polished it barely hints at the tragedy. The album's energetic sound, with its steady, upbeat rhythm and impactful riffs, never lets up. Brian Johnson's shrill, piercing vocals blend beautifully with the guitar work of Angus and Malcolm Young, the "eternal schoolboys" known for their trademark shorts. The variety of tracks is rich, including the well-balanced, weighty melody of "1," the catchy chorus of "8," and the driving force of "9." This masterpiece achieved high sales worldwide and marked the first step for the new AC/DC, solidifying their position as a top band in the hard rock world in both name and reality. (Furahito Eda)
