[three_fourth]REVIEW BY VILLE KRANNILA \/ MAY 2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

2009 and a brand new AC\/DC studio album. Something special, something rare and definitely something to talk about. AC\/DC are like the Rolling Stones or Mot\u00f6rhead, you know they must have started off somewhere but when you think about it, they have always been there, forever carved into the great books written of heavy rock\u2019n\u2019roll.<\/p>\n

While always active on the live concert circuit, for quite some time now AC\/DC haven\u2019t exactly been prolific. \u201cBlack Ice\u201d is only their third studio release since 1991, that\u2019s 17 years and counting. And eight years since their last \u2013 honestly very mediocre \u2013 effort, \u201cStiff Upper Lip.\u201d But with a band carrying such a rich legacy from years gone by, one could fully expect them to just take it easy and rest on their laurels. And many seemed to believe that, there were occasional news about the upcoming record but nothing concrete seemed to happen. Then suddenly, almost out of the blue \u201cBlack Ice\u201d appeared and AC\/DC were back. Good thing is it easily ranks amongst 2008\u2019s best records.<\/p>\n

First song and lead off single \u201cRock\u2019n\u2019Roll Train\u201d opens the game and this is simply classic AC\/DC, Malcolm Young thrusting in with surefire riff, Brian Johnson launching into a tasteful double entendre \u201cOne Hot Angel, One Cool Devil, Your Mind On A Fantasy, Living On The Ecstasy\u201d, Angus firing away with his trademark guitar licks and to top it off a chorus to shake stadiums, backing vocals adding up more punch. You have to ho back to 1990\u2019s underrated \u201cThe Razor\u2019s Edge\u201d and its excellent lead off track \u201cThunderstruck\u201d – the last time AC\/DC offered similar intensity.<\/p>\n

This sets the pace nicely and most of what comes after carries a similar resurrecting feeling. \u201cAnything Goes\u201d has a definite single potential, ironically it also reminds me of Swiss rockers Krokus \u2013 known to have pulled a note or two from AC\/DC\u2019s song book. Song number eight; \u201cWheels\u201d is an absolute highlight \u2013 killer rhythm coupled with a chorus to die for. And you simply cannot go wrong with a lyric like \u201cShe Gonna Rock\u2019n\u2019roll And Slide It Down.\u201d<\/p>\n

After this there is a definite slip in quality though, as for few songs the album seems to run out of steam. \u201cDecibel\u201d sounds like a B-side and \u201cStormy May Day\u201d with its Whitesnake-esque slide guitar doesn\u2019t impress either. Later \u201cMoney Made\u201d is even more of a throw-away, kind of track the band can churn out in their sleep \u2013 and in this case probably have done so. Luckily melodic \u201cRock\u2019n\u2019 Roll Dream\u201d offers a welcome change of pace and following \u201cRocking All The Way\u201d is a solid AC\/DC stomper. The title track closes the album and a lot like the one on \u201cBallbreaker\u201d (1995), it\u2019s the one song that requires several listens before sinking in. Quirky but good.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the good here by far outstrips the bad and the overall feelings this record generates are very positive indeed. The best thing is that they have mostly abandoned the blues favour which largely dominated the last two studio albums. AC\/DC don\u2019t have to play the blues for the sake of it, they ARE a blues hard rock band. The blues has been integrated into their sound as far back as the days of \u201cHigh Voltage\u201d and \u201cLet There Be Rock.\u201d Thus their latter day pointless readings of \u201cBoogie Man\u201d and \u201cSafe In New York City\u201d only frustrated in the long run. This all makes \u201cBlack Ice\u201d such a pleasure to return to, it\u2019s definitely a hard rock blues album. Those big choruses with huge backing vocals are back but not overused, just giving it that extra spice on songs like \u201cRock\u2019n\u2019Roll Train.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like I said some songs like the aforementioned \u201cWheels\u201d and \u201cRock\u2019n\u2019Roll Dream\u201d do resemble efforts done by bands like Krokus, Rose Tattoo and Airbourne \u2013 all bands whose sound is heavily in debt to AC\/DC. This of course is the ultimate irony, but for some it probably will also be a sacrilege. But remember, AC\/DC are AC\/DC, they invented this and if the song is good then it shouldn\u2019t really matter what it sounds like. Let\u2019s just say everything on \u201cBlack Ice\u201d sounds like AC\/DC and leave it at that.<\/p>\n

Looking at the individual performances; instantly who impresses the most is the long term vocalist Brian Johnson. His vocals on \u201cSpoilin\u2019 For A Fight\u201d are a throw back to the 1980\u2019s, more power and gusto instead of more familiar snarl we have grown used to lately. The same thread runs throughout, for a man now over 60, this is an astounding work.<\/p>\n

Angus Young\u2019s guitar as surprising as it may be, is not upfront as much as before. On some records, the volume seems to have been turned up a notch when Angus took his lead but here his solos ooze in and out of the songs more fluently. But they are still following his trademark style and some things never change. Main focus is still on his brother Malcolm, who\u2019s the true quiet star here with his unmistakable riffs and as always brilliantly supported by the rhythm section of bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Phil Rudd.<\/p>\n

Producer Brendan O\u2019Brien is of course a mainstream name more linked to artists like Bruce Springsteen. However, here he completely embellishes the core AC\/DC sound. The album naturally doesn\u2019t sound as good as \u201cHighway To Hell\u201d. That was 1979 and they just don\u2019t make \u2018em like they used to, but it kicks up where it\u2019s necessary and all instruments are in balance. With this band that\u2019s about all you need.<\/p>\n

This is not a perfect album, or an album that will be remembered as a stone cold classic either. There are too many songs here, just enough to ensure that with 10 or 11 tracks, the band would have hit the target with more accuracy. And obviously \u201cBlack Ice\u201d cannot rival such milestones from the Brian Johnson-era as \u201cBack In Black\u201d or even \u201cFlick Of The Switch.\u201d But it most certainly rivals nearly everything that came after those records and when all is said and done that\u2019s all that matters. A good AC\/DC album to save the day.<\/p>\n

So enjoy this record for what it is and if this indeed is band\u2019s swan song, they certainly are going out on top. It\u2019s not a bad bet to guess there won\u2019t be another AC\/DC album eight years from now \u2013 and before anyone says anything: Nope, I would never make that bet either.<\/p>\n
