Summary:
AC/DC's fourth album is the lull after the triumph of Let There Be Rock and before the mighty peaks of If You Want Blood You've Got It and Highway to Hell. Powerage contains all the familiar AC/DC trademarks: Bon Scott's rather less than Yeatsian lyrical vision ("Rock & Roll Damnation," "Up to My Neck in You"), Angus Young's brilliantly minimal guitar playing, a rhythm section as relentless and efficient as an infantry regiment, and the astute production of former Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young; however, it lacks a truly transcendent moment, a "Whole Lotta Rosie" or a "T.N.T." Of course, even an average AC/DC album is an eloquent lesson in the fundamentals of rock & roll, and by that token Powerage still blows most opposition out of the water. Bon Scott's exultant declaration of working-class solidarity, "Riff Raff," is worth six Bon Jovi albums on its own. --Andrew Mueller

The best AC/DC album of all time

Customer Rating:

I was there. Mid 70's through early 80's, listening to them in high school, the Marine Corps and college. Good Lord, am I dating myself.

But folks, this is the definitive AC/DC studio album. Not as raw as the live performances, which are astounding - but there is no better array of songs that represent the full spectrum of their shocking ability. To simply call this hard rock is a disservice, as "Gone Shootin'" will clue you in - their roots were strictly in the blues. And if you listen closely to Angus Young's guitar, you'll detect a feral dose of classical and hard core punk tossed in for good measure - no ego in his playing, just a dedication to blazing execution. This one is as good as it gets.

Yes, "Back In Black" is a great comeback album, perhaps the best in rock history. But this is the one that seemed to catch them in perfect synchronicity, right between the rougher hewn sound of "Let There Be Rock" and the more polished "Highway To Hell." This one never, ever gets old.

As an aside, I attended a live AC/DC show in Oakland seven years back, and sitting in front of me were two sixteen year old neophytes. One of them turned to me and casually introduced himself. "Hey man, we've never heard these guys, but someone told me they're all right, kind of like Nirvana." I smiled, and pushed in my earplugs. They scoffed and turned away.

Halfway through a blistering Angus solo, I looked over at them - they were doubled over, holding their ears in agony.

At the end of the show, they arose, glassy eyed and unsteady. One of them turned to me and yelled: "DUDE, THAT WAS AWESOME! WHO ARE THOSE GUYS?!"

One convert at a time.

AC/DC rocks on!!!	Customer Rating:
As a am a listener of various types of music, I want to say the availability of music is great and the service is exceptional. There is not much more I can say, except...thank you!

best... period	Customer Rating:
ACDC's best album hands down... What's next to the Moon is probably their best song and way underrated...

One of AC/DC's Finest Albums!

Customer Rating:

Only in the rarest of cases have I heard a track from AC/DC's Powerage get radio play, yet it may, in fact, be their best album. This album has no "hits," in the manner of Back in Black or Highway to Hell, but what it has aplenty are great, hard rockin' songs and some of the best writing the band has done. The first five tracks are all worthy of being compared to anything the band has done, and it's really just an incredible album all around.

Rock and Roll!!	Customer Rating:
Powerage is my favorite album with Bon Scott! Every song on this album rocks the house down!! "Sin City", "Down Payment Blues", "Gone Shootin'", "Rock N Roll Damnation", and I can't forget the 2 songs that will rock ANYBODY, "Riff Raff" and "Up To My Neck In You"!!!! If you like AC/DC then you have to pick this up!!! YOU WON'T be sorry!!! Long Live AC/DC!!!
