This CD is AWESOME!!!! What else can I say? Every track on here is a gift from the gods of rock! This is my 3rd favorite album (my first two being For Those About to Rock and Back in Black) from AC/DC. AC/DC never changes their sound and that's why they have so many fans. With all of this new-age "music" AC/DC does not change their style just to fit in with it. They say screw society's "music." This CD is about as good as the music industry is gonna produce for god knows how long so don't miss out! BUY BLACK ICE!!!!

One of the best albums from one of the all time best rock bands. Saw them in concert twice, including their recent tour for this album. Having the Deluxe Edition with the extra photos made for a nice souvenir. Runaway Train baby!

what can u say ac/dc have always been a solid hard rock band they stick to there guns cant wait for the next album

Any diehard AC/DC fan has to love this album. This edition is also special due to the information booklet contained within. There are a few, not many, but a few new guitar riffs added to this album, but the bands signature is still intact. AC/DC is one of the few bands that have maintained a consistancy in their music. An example: Any song on this album, you automatically know your listening to AC/DC. They prove that even though they are getting older their song writing abilities, music skills, and vocals are still awesome. The video to "Rock n Roll Train" shows Brian Johnson gettng down just as he did in early times and Angus is still just lovin what he does best. Malcolm still has the touch, and they blend perfectly with each other. The bottom line is, AC/DC still rocks and they talk about life, how it really is, not how most people perceive it to be. Rock on!

Go ahead, called this album crap or whatever you want to because to simply put it, I don't care. This album is a huge come back if you consider the material they've been producing recently. Think about it, BALL BREAKER and STIFF UPPER LIP. Do they compare to this album? No, is an answer you would hear from most people. This album is not a fan-based album, that is one of the many reasons why I call this album AC/DC's best since Back in Black. This album really has a good range of music, from the hard rocking, "Rockin' Roll Train" to the popish "Anything goes," and Angus Young pulls out his slide guitar in "Stormy may day," the first since FLICK OF THE SWICH!!! The first four tracks and some of the last are just execeptional, they represent a huge come back of their skill. The Brian Johnson's vocal's are at its best, and this band, AC/DC sounds like twinty years ago! I mean, the vocal's aren't really raspy, like they use to be. I don't have a big problem with that, but it's nice to listen to clear vocals.

Rock on AC/DC!!!

AC/DC has done it again. They've gone and made an excellent "album" (Sorry, I'm from the days of those big vinyl flat things that spun around under a needle). I received the product from the seller WAY sooner than I anticipated. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

It has been eight years since we last heard a new album from AC/DC, and seven years since we heard a new song from them. God only knows why it took them so long to put out a new album, but Black Ice is here at last. And it does not disappoint at all....

Black Ice opens with Rock 'n Roll Train - the song that we all have been hearing since August (and didn't even realize was new for a few weeks). It is a nice, strong opening done in classic AC/DC style. But moving forward you hear the band delve slightly into Blues on the tracks Skies on Fire, Stormy May Day, and Rock 'n Roll Dream. Of course in between these tracks you hear a lot of classic AC/DC - some of which sounds like a hail back to the Bon Scott days, some sounds like the lesser tracks on Back in Black, and the rest just sounds like the AC/DC we'd all expect. Pretty good stuff, but then you hear the final track - which all I will say about is WOW!!, it is truly one of the best songs AC/DC has ever done in their 30-something year career.

Up until the last track, this album keeps you entertained and pleased. The only complaint is that at one point it does seem to drag on a bit (after all, it is a 15 track album), but it's all worth it.

FROM THE FIRST TRACK TO THE LAST, THIS IS PROBABLY AC/DCS BEST CD/ALBUM. CONSISTENT ROCK AND ROLL ALL THE WAY. GREAT PRODUCTION OF VOCALS AND INSTRUMENT MIX WITHOUT TRYING TO LEAVE THEIR FORMULA FOR STRAIGHT AHEAD ROCK AND STAYING WITHIN THE EXPECTATIONS OF FANS. THE SLIDE GUITAR ON "STORMY MAY DAY" IS A SLIGHTLY WELCOME SURPRISE. SOUNDS GREAT. OTHER NOTABLE TRACKS INCLUDE "ROCK N ROLL TRAIN", "SKIES ON FIRE", "SPOILIN FOR A FIGHT", "DECIBEL", AND "ROCK AND ROLL DREAM". REALLY NO DISAPOINTMENTS IN THE MIX, WHICH IS TRADITIONAL AC/DC WITH MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER CONSISTENCY AND PROCUCTION VALUE. FUN TO LISTEN TO OVER AND OVER.

all of this cd is great, only acdc can get away with what they do , repeating lyrics over n over , lol, awesome! , you just let this whole cd play ....loud! and when track 13 comes on you play it louder! as loud as your amp delivers. [without distorting of course] so go find yourself a place to work out ,bike, run, etc. crank the 2008 release of acdc and life is good with black ice! you just might experience a
"rock n roll dream"

Definitely check out AC/DC's newest album, loaded with plenty of great songs and the album itself is very nice in quality. WOrth adding to any music collection specially if you're a hard core fan.
