About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

In over 20 years, AC/DC never changed their minimalist, bone-crunching hard rock. During their first ten years, that wasn't a problem, since they were still finding ways to expand and subvert the pattern, but ever since For Those About to Rock, they had trouble coming up with consistent material. Consequently, their performances tended to be a little lazy and their records didn't deliver a reliable knockout punch. Released in 1990, The Razor's Edge showed some signs of life, and their comeback culminated in the Rick Rubin-produced Ballbreaker. What makes Ballbreaker different than the albums AC/DC churned out during the '80s is simple -- it's a matter of focus. Although "Hard as a Rock" comes close, there aren't any songs as immediately memorable as any of their '70s classics, or even "Moneytalks." However, unlike any record since Back in Black, there are no bad songs on the album. Surprisingly, Rubin's production is a bit too dry, lacking the muscle needed to make the riffs sound truly earthshaking. Nevertheless, Angus Young's riffs are powerful and catchy, showcasing every element that makes him one of hard rock and heavy metal's greatest guitarists. Throughout the album, the band sounds committed and professional, making Ballbreaker the best late-period AC/DC album to date. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

March 18, 2006: This album is filled with lyrics that are too naughty for the kitties. The album has great riffs and some nice lyrics, including a very good opener Hard A Rock. The voice of Brian Johnson is still the same and the lyrics are good. Then the follow up, Cover You In Oil starts, it's any mans fantasy. My favorite song in this album is Honeyroll, because of it's riff at the begining and the lyrics. Then you'll hear Caught With Your Pants Down and it will leave you with a belt. Whiskey On The Rocks is a slower and more bluesy song, it will probably leave you thirsty. Song will also remind you of Have A Drink On Me. Ballbreaker ends the album and what a song. Hard and heavy riffs, screaming voice and it's awesome. Talk about a epic ending. Buy this album!
