AC/DC made a new album and it sounds like… AC/DC! What a surprise! So expect a whole lotta blues riffs, drums that just a keep on rollin’ and a vocalist who sounds like his dick got caught in a beartrap.

How much you’ll like “Black Ice” simply depends on the fact how much you liked these Aussies’ previous fourteen albums. Nothing much has changed even though the band does sound in better shape than on 2000’s “Stiff Upper Lip”. This may be due to the eight years in between albums or thanks to producer Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam) who helped the band purify their sound a bit.

Whatever the case may be, it’s time to get back in that school uniform and rock out with first single “Rock N Roll Train”, scream along with the chorus in “Big Jack” or get all riled up listening to “Spoilin’ For A Fight”.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
