Amazon.co.uk Review
What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC / DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David Cantwell

Perfect July 29, 2010
J. Norrish
One look at the cover of Highway to Hell tells you so much about the music which lies therein. The devil in Angus, the cheek of Bon's grin, Malcom to the fore - like his riffs, Phil and Cliff in the background holding their end up.
Highway to Hell opens with the eponymous tune. A brilliant atmospheric tome all about life on the road in a rock 'n' roll band. How is it that AC/DC wrote so many songs on the subject of being AC/DC and never once sounded up their own arses? However, Highway to Hell (the song) is their best effort at summing it up.
The songs then keep coming. They keep coming with such a force, with so much energy but also with a tenderness which only Bon Scott could manage (sorry Brian) until the genius of Nightprowler. A song about watching your girlfriend getting undressed without her knowing you're there. Bon sings it with such feeling, passion and pulls off a trick which so few songs do these days. You're there with him, you can envision the setting in your mind's eye. Then it (with hindsight, very sadly) ends with Bon's ironic farewell.
If you're reading this having never heard this brilliant album, you owe yourself the pleasure. Then you owe your friends the pleasure also. If your parents hate guitar music, They'll hate it even more when they hear this, its THAT good.
Seminal.
Brilliant album. July 18, 2010

What can I say. This is an absolutely fantastic album. There are no bad songs on this. Always been a favourite of mine, having owned 3 different copies of it in my lifetime. Bon Scotts' voice really makes this album (may he rest in peace), and Angus's guitar playing can't be compared to. This really is their best album, much underrated compared to Back in Black (which is still a brilliant record too). May AC/DC last another 35 years.
 Great Album - shame about the packaging July 17, 2010
Itcheyes (London)
Absolute classic album. The CD comes in a cardboard casing with a plastic insert.
utterly fantastic July 8, 2010

From start to finish this album is pure exhilaration. Every song directly affects your spine- it cannot resist! the best all round ACDC album. One of the best rock albums ever.

Mr. P. Collins (South Devon, England)
What a belter, classic rock album. No good expecting an unbiased review from me, I've been listening for this album for near enough 30 years. The opening track still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
But don't take my word for it, whatever your age, if you like unpretentious rock just go and buy it. At this price you cannot go wrong.
