Mi onoro a recensire il mio gruppo preferito, avrei voluto vivere in quegli anni e magari in Australia.
Siamo nel 1981 ed è da un anno uscito il loro più grande best-seller "Back In Black" ed era davvero difficile ripetersi a quei livelli. Comunque lo stile non cambia, e quando mai è cambiato?!
Stiamo parlando della band che fa concorrenza ai Daft Punk per la musica più ripetitiva. Il risultato è il solito divertimento assicurato con gli urli di Brian gli assoli di Angus e soliti riff di sporco rock n blues per veri deficienti. Tra le canzoni spiccano ovviamente "For Those About To Rock" vero capolavoro e traccia conclusiva di ogni concerto dei canguri, "Let's Get It Up", "C. O. D." e ben poco altro.
Il disco arrivò primo in classifica appena uscito e fu l'unico degli Ac/Dc, ma la sua fortuna è dovuta al traino dei successi precedenti non certo per la sua qualità effettiva. Disco evitabile se non siete veri fan.

04 Inject the Venom (03:32)
No mercy for the bad if they want it
No mercy for the bad if they plead
No mercy for the bad if they need it
No mercy from me
Tell no truth an' tell no lies
Cross your heart and hope to die
Never give what you can't take back
Scratch like a cat
If you inject your venom
It'll be your last attack
No mercy for the bad if they want it
No mercy for the bad if they plead
No mercy for the bad if they need it
V. E. N. O. M.
Got no heart, no feel no pain
Take your soul and leave a stain
Come choose your victim
Take him by surprise
Go in hard and get him
Right between the eyes and
Inject the venom
Inject the venom, c'mon
Inject the venom
Inject it all
Stick it in
Stick it
Inject the venom
Inject the venom
Inject the venom
Get it all
Inject the venom
Inject the venom
Inject it all
Inject the venom
05 Snowballed (03:23)
Crashed out of the market
Out on the floor
Washed up on the shore
Bombed outta the city
Out of the door
Blown up against the wall
Put out of the picture
Axe about to fall
Walk before you crawl
Dragged down to the bottom
Screamin' for air
The shark must get his share
You can see it comin'
Miles and miles away
Women drink and money
Are gonna make you pay
Snowballed, ooh yeah
Snowballed, they done it again
Snowballed, makin' me blind
Snowballed
The howl of the wolf
Snow in his eyes
Waitin' to take you by surprise
Eye of the needle
Heat of the fight
Watch those teeth cause they're ready to bite
You can see it comin'
Miles and miles away
Women drink and money
Are gonna make you pay
You've been
Snowballed, yes you have
Snowballed, you've been fooled again
Snowballed, that's all
Snowballed
Snowballed, snowballed, snowballed, snowballed
Snowballed, snowballed, snowballed, snowballed
You been snowballed
You been snow, you been snow, you been snow
Snowballed, balled balled balled
07 C.O.D. (03:19)
Call of a dog
Cry of a bitch
The cream of a dream is the cause of the itch
Call on the doctor
Cash on demand
If I get enough rope might even hang
C.O.D. - care of the devil
C.O.D. - the devil in me
C.O.D. - care of the devil
Care of the devil in me
The curse of love is the cause of the pain
The crime of the day is when you do it again
Call on the doctor
Cash on demand
If you give them a finger they'll take off your hand
C.O.D. - care of the devil
C.O.D. - the devil in me
C.O.D. - care of the devil
Care of the devil in me
Down to the devil with me
Call of a dog
Cry of a bitch
The sign of the sinners the size of his itch
Cry
C.O.D. - care of the devil
C.O.D. - the devil in me
C.O.D. - care of the devil
C.O.D.
C.O.D. - care of the devil
C.O.D. - the devil in me
C.O.D. - care of the devil
C.O.D. - care of the devil in me
I'm paying
Paying
I'm paying C.O.D.
Care of the devil
Care of the devil in me
It's the curse of love
08 Breaking the Rules (04:23)
Black sheep and a renegade
Hot feet in the cool of the shade
The street jungle and the tough childhoods
Examinations done no good
Got crow bars and hot wired cars
Sneak thieves and cheap cigars
No rebellion, not today
I get my kicks in my own way, right OK
Just keep on breakin' the rules
C'mon get ready to rule
Just keep on breakin' the rules
C'mon get ready to rule
Tough breaks in the neighbourhood
A hard case who's up to no good
Livin' like trash, a society rash
Ready to break and ready to dash
A bad deal and a real rough ride
Ain't doin' time on the other side
No rebellion, not today
I get my kicks in my own way, right OK
Just keep on breakin' the rules
C'mon get ready to rule
Just keep on breakin' the rules
C'mon get ready to rule
Tough breaks
They got the regulation ties, regulation shoes
Those regulation fools with their regulation rules
Just keep on breakin' the rules
C'mon get ready to rule
Just keep on breakin' the rules
C'mon get ready to rule
Just keep on breakin' the rules, breakin' the rules
Get ready
You just keep on breakin' the rules
C'mon get ready, get ready, get ready
Ready to rule
Take off your ties and your regulation shoes
You're nothing but a bunch of regulation fools, yeah
And your damn regulation rules
I'm gonna do things my own way, everyday, everyday, everyday
In every way, I ain't gonna pay no attention to your rules
10 Spellbound (04:29)
Blinded by a bright beam
Shattered by the windscreen
Stunned by the whiplash
I'm a victim of a bad crash
I can do nothing right
I never sleep at night
Can't even start a fight
My feet have left the ground
Spinning round and round
Spellbound, my world keeps a tumbling down
Beaten by a blind man
Wrong way up a dead end
Screaming through a speed trap
As I tear into a tail pipe
I can do nothing right
I never sleep at night
Can't even start a fight
My feet have left the ground
Spinning round and round
Spellbound, my world keeps a tumbling down
I'm slipping down
I got my hands in the fire
I'm sliding on an oil slick
Blinded on a bad trip
Yes and nothing's going to change it
I can do nothing right
Can't even sleep at night
My feet have left the ground
I'm spinning round and round
Spellbound, my world keeps a tumbling down

L'unica eccezione è data dalla title track: un brano carico di energia, una CANNONATA che è poi diventato il pezzo di chiusura dei concerti.
Il calibro di questo album è l'indice del processo di “decadimento” rispetto all'era Bon Scott e Back In Black.
Di Bonny91
Il disco contiene una successione di bei pezzi, genuinamente hard rock, che vuol dire riff solidi e a presa rapida di matrice blues.
Tornerete a un'epoca nella quale il rock era arte, e per questo era vero.
