Style: fundamental loud rebellious hard rock

on their third studio longplay [1978] phenomenal Aussie hard rock entity is dispensing even heftier ammo from their hook-laden cartridge belt: pounding rock-steady rhythm section, towering guitar riff trade, improved songwriting, dynamic variety, bursts of energy and spicy, colorful lyrics end up in nine hymns to freedom that point towards the band's dominating mastery, further consolidating blues, rock'n roll, and hard rock elements into a cohesive, powerful whole, where every riff takes on its own distinctive character, while legendary frontman Bon Scott with his raucous, biting, but above all confident vocals gives these songs additional weight, so that damn loud recording now sound not only like a mature statement of the era, but also as one of the most important affirmations of their creative identity; recent black 180g vinyl edition comes with sound remastered from analogue master tapes, and pro-printed inner sleeve with liner notes by Ernie Welch and tons of vintage pictures
