 BUY! BUY! BUY! January 16, 2008
This is definetly the best album released for many years. This debut from Aussie group Airbourne is what I'd imagine ac/dc would have sounded like if bon had lived, good time toe tapping fist shaking rock music at it's best. Come on Airbourne we want a second album asap

Absolutely brilliant, The best new album I have heard in ages all the aggression of Rose Tattoo giving a modern swing on the early AC/DC sound great mix which seemed to annoy my techo loving neighbours when we listened to it on new years eve at full chat. Like being punched in the face by Mohammed Ali but more fun.

I bought this on the basis of fantastic reviews in all the papers in Sydney when I was there a few weeks ago. I should have guessed from the cover what this was going to be like. It is pure NWOBHM but not as good. Like going back 20 years. In fact, if this had been released at that time, it would have been an also ran album. ACDC, Rose Tattoo (whatever you have heard) this aint. Pub rock at best. Very disappointing and a waste of $22aud at Fish records.

You won't pick up a better rock n' roll album this year than Airbourne's debut 'Runnin Wild'. The comparisons are there, notably with fellow Aussie rockers AC/DC and Rose Tattoo but what sets this album aside is there are no ballads or no attempt at singing 'da blues'. It's pure energy from the opening track 'Stand Up For Rock N' Roll' right through to the closing 'Let's Ride'.
The title track 'Runnin Wild' moves along like the preverbal steam train, eventually grinding to a crashing halt, leaving the passenger (in this case, the listener) gasping for oxygen and searching for those imaginary guitar strings for their air guitar.
Vocalist Joel O'Keefe belts out rasping vocals during 'Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast' then diving into possibly the strongest track on the album 'Diamond in the Rough', a track that's sure to be a crowd pleaser.
'Fat City' has a touch of The Cult to it (Electric era) but then again Rick Rubin who produced the Cult's Electric album is after all a huge AC/DC fan.
'Blackjack' kicks into ear smashing crescendo and will have the lights in your house blinking.
'What's Eatin You' is laced with Def Leppard style harmonies and touches of AC/DC's Malcolm Young are evident throughout.
'Girls In Black' will have dandruff flying everywhere and no doubt produce the obligatory showing of 'puppies' at Airbourne gigs.
'Cheap Wine & Cheaper Woman' is pure Rose Tattoo, in fact it could even be Angry Anderson singing!
'Heartbreaker' - OK, we've heard the riff a million times but damn these Aussie folk do it so well.
'Lets Ride' completes the album and just leaves the listener thirsty for more - Oh well.... back to track one and play the whole thing all over again.
Many folk from the UK will not heard of Airbourne. I found them on myspace about this time last year and have been a fan since.
If you like your music loud, gutsy and edge of the seat then this killer debut album is for you.
Airbourne... I Salute You.
