Amazon.co.uk Review
The death of the lead singer would spell the end of most bands. But most bands aren't AC/DC. After Bon Scott's overindulgence in alcohol lead to his undignified end, lead guitarist Angus Young and Co. simply found a singer that sounded exactly the same and carried on. The result: Back In Black, the most successful album of their lengthy career. Like every other AC/DC album, it doesn't deviate from their trademark sounds: loud guitars, basic boogie and vocals that sound like they are being screamed out by a buzzsaw. But never before (or since) have they gotten the formula so consistently right: "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Rock 'N' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", "Hell's Bells" and the title track are among the best hard rock songs ever. AC/DC never experiment and never innovate; they just rock. No other band even comes close. --Robert Burrow

 Buy this and Highway To Hell November 2, 2008
Amazingly good album, every track is strong, no filler, very inspired, if you're new to AC/DC start here along with Highway To Hell.
Glorious Bad Taste October 26, 2008
This album only happened because we lost Bon Scott. If you don't like heavy metal/heavy rock then you won't like this. However, if you do then it doesn't really get any better. Some bands have done records that are as good as this but after over twenty five years of listening to music in the area I'm struggling to think of any album that betters it. Quite simply A ROCKER!
A true masterpiece! October 21, 2008
The fact that there are currently 68 reviews of this album shows what a classic this is. If there is one album where every song hits the spot its this one. It has to be in your collection. No excuses.
 Very, very good but really not their best effort October 15, 2008
Back in Black is now so ubiquitous it seems that every home actually has one. It has sold more than twenty million copies and you'd probably be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn't even heard of it.
It was AC/DC's first album after the death of their previous, classic vocalist Bon Scott and was made with the blessing of Scott's family, with all concerned feeling that some kind of tribute was appropriate. And it is an excellent album.
But it's not their best.
After the masterwork that was Highway to Hell, producer Robert "Mutt" Lange directs this album into heavier territory. This is no bad thing, but as the album was recorded and released so quickly there is something of a sameiness about the tracks, and a couple of rather forgettable ones too, notably Let Me Put My Love Into You and Shake a Leg.
However, Scott's replacement Brian Johnson shines on his DC debut and the band certainly fire on all cylinders on the classics Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, Hells Bells, Have a Drink On Me and the outstanding title track, gloriously defiant in the face of the loss of their former frontman. And Johnson was definitely the right choice as Scott's replacement.
So, a mixed bag. Not the best AC/DC album ever but probably the most important. There were greater things behind them, but there were also greater things yet to come.
Where Have You Been? September 26, 2008
A rare review in that I won't even metion the music. Search the web and you'll find that this is the world's second best selling album ever (second only to Thriller). You don't need a review, you now know everything you need to know. If you're still reading this you simply need to get a copy of the album and catch up with the rest of the world - you can't fool a planet - it really is that good.
