Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.123
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he best stuff nearly lives up to their career peaks, especially 'Rock N Roll Train,' where the brothers Young toss fat, slashing chords at each other like knife jugglers."
Rolling Stone - p.94
Ranked #41 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[With] muscular production and unexpected rhythm change-ups."
Spin - p.87
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "AC/DC still sound strong and hungry 35 years on, as if they could pulverize riffs in perpetuity."
Entertainment Weekly - p.68
"The Aussie outfit's first album in eight years kicks off with the single 'Rock N Roll Train,' a meaty, medium-paced riff assault with a terrific, growling performance from singer Brian Johnson..."
Uncut
3 stars out of 5 -- "On 'Black Ice' itself, O'Brien marshals a sort of militarised hysteria, built around Malcolm Young's dogged tracking of the rhythm section."
Kerrang (Magazine) - p.60
Ranked #17 in Kerrang's Best Albums Of The Year 2008 -- "The song remains the same, but when it's as good as the one AC/DC have written, it still sounds brand, spanking new."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.102
4 stars out of 5 -- "It's an urgent, raw, committed and unreconstructed work....A real return to form....Vital and vitalising."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.64
Ranked #48 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[A]n exemplary splurge of monolithic riffage."
Blender (Magazine) - p.72
3 stars out of 5 -- "'Anything Goes' and 'Big Jack' rev up like fast machines with clean motors."
Record Collector (magazine) - p.78
3 stars out of 5 -- "'Spoilin' For A Fight' is the kind of hugely infectious fist-clenching, fringe-whipping chant-along at which they've always excelled, while 'She Likes Rock'n'Roll is equally sure-footed..."
