I ║ │ │║ donÆt know why, but IÆd advise you not to make ║ │ │║ the same mistake, because Powerage is another ║ │ │║ fun party record that's filled with gloriously ║ │ │║ unhinged guitar licks from riffmeister Angus ║ │ │║ Young matched to a terrific batch of tunes. And ║ │ │║ though originality isnÆt this bands stock in ║ │ │║ trade, their kickass beats (AC/DC are one of the ║ │ │║ greatest groove bands ever) and Bon ScottÆs ║ │ │║ ragged screeches render such concepts as ║ │ │║ trivial. Besides, this is one of the few AC/DC ║ │ │║ albums devoid of any obvious filler. I mean, ║ │ │║ even a lesser track like ôGimme A Bulletö ║ │ │║ grooves like nobodyÆs business, while ôGone ║ │ │║ ShootinÆö even offers up a relaxed (and quite ║ │ │║ good) change of pace. Elsewhere, the escalating ║ │ │║ blooze beats of ôDown Payment Bluesö are matched ║ │ │║ to a lyric that we can all relate to, though the ║ │ │║ bandÆs misogynist streak unfortunately rears up ║ │ │║ its ugly head on ôKicked In The Teeth,ö one of ║ │ │║ the album's lesser tracks. Even so, the song ║ │ │║ still rocks, and the bandÆs lean, ferocious ║ │ │║ assault produces other undeniable hard rock ║ │ │║ winners such as ôRock NÆ Roll Damnationö (which ║ │ │║ has the album's catchiest chorus), ôRiff Raffö ║ │ │║ (Angus at his best), ôSin Cityö (Bon at his ║ │ │║ best), and ôWhat's Next To The Moonö (like the ║ │ │║ aforementioned, even better ôDown Payment ║ │ │║ Blues,ö notable for its great toe tapping ║ │ │║ groove). Sure, none of these songs are major ║ │ │║ AC/DC classics, but Powerage is chock full of ║ │ │║ minor classics, even though it's less heavy than ║ │ │║ its pummeling predecessor, possibly due to a ║ │ │║ less lively production that yields a tinnier ║ │ │║ sound. But the songs are catchier and yes, ║ │ │║ better overall, especially since the band still ║ │ │║ supplies plenty of wattage. In short, no fan of ║ │ │║ this electrifying band should be without this ║ │ │║ killer album, which can power up any party. ║ │ │║ Note: Cliff Williams replaced Mark Evans on bass ║ │ │║ guitar duties on this album, giving the band not ║ │ │║ only a better bass player but another backup ║ │ │║ singer along with ace rhythm guitarist Malcolm ║ │ │║ Young (Angus' older brother and by most accounts ║ │ │║ the band's actual leader). P.S. I'd argue that ║ │ │║ Powerage is the most underrated and unjustly ║ │ │║ ignored album from the Bon years, being all but ║ │ │║ ignored by radio, and the band themselves have ║ │ │║ played little from it live over the years ║ │ │║ (really only "Sin City" and "Riff Raff"), ║ │ │║ nothing in recent times. In short, this album is ║ │ │║ for the diehards - most of whom love it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Rock┤N┤Roll Damnation [03:38] │ │ 02 - Down Payment Blues [06:04] │ │ 03 - Gimme A Bullet [03:22] │ │ 04 - Riff Raff [05:12] │ │ 05 - Sin City [04:45] │ │ 06 - What┤s Next To The Moon [03:32] │ │ 07 - Gone Shootin┤ [05:06] │ │ 08 - Up To My Neck In You [04:13] │ │ 09 - Kicked In The Teeth [04:03] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [39:55 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
