Music Reviews of Powerage (Dlx)
Music Review: best
Rating: 5 Stars
In my opinion, this is the best of the Bon Scott albums. Actually this is my second favorite ac/dc album after Back in Black. Not only are there great riffs, killer vocals, and thumping basslines, but this album best reflects what ac/dc is: a pumped-up, amplified blues band. Best reflected in "Down Payment Blues," "Kicked in the Teeth," and "Up To My Neck in You," this album just oozes dirty blues riffs. Surprisingly, it also has more radio friendly fare such as the fantastic "What's Next to the Moon," and "Gone Shooting," two songs that don't focus so much on the traditional power chords, but rather on the voice of Scott and the subtle backing guitiar of Malcom Young. Highly recommended for Scott era AC/DC fans.Music Review: Very Underrated
Rating: 5 Stars
I myself an enormous AC/DC fan did not know about this album until I was searching in the music store for AC/DC albums I didn't have. Of course you always see Back in Black, Highway To Hell, and High Voltage but this album was new to me for some reason. I already knew Riff Raff and Sin City but I bought this album and I was amazed. To think there was another great Bon album I didn't have just shocked me. I enjoyed this album a lot but I wouldn't go far enough to say it was the best AC/DC album because it really isn't but I will say it was worth the money and I'm very happy it's in my collection rather than sitting forgotten on a shelf until another person discovered it. If you want Powerage you might need to order it online because not every store has a copy.Music Review: Distorted Guitars Played Through Marshall Amps (Yawn)
Rating: 5 Stars
This album typifies AC/DC loud signature thrashing guitars and blood curdling vocals by Bon Scott.One example of the banal lyrics to be found on this album is contained in the track "Down Payment Blues " which states "I got myself a Cadillac but I can't afford the gasoline!!!"One wonders if one would have to be a Rhodes Scholar who Majored in English to produce such lyrics. As Shakespeare might have siad "Heavily distorted guitars played through overdriven Marshall amplifiers doth not a good album make". I give this CD 5 stars because Bon consumed a shipload of Johnnie Walker Whiskey and various illicit drugs throughout his entire singing career and still managed to sound almost coherant in this recording.Music Review: Down Payment Adrenaline
Rating: 4 Stars
All the songs kick on this record, but I have to say a few words about "Down Payment Blues." If any fan of rock'n'roll can resist this song, GET THEE TO A PIANO BAR! THe opening riff is rock 'n'roll, as gripping and ominous as any moment in pop culture - it is like pluggin' a power cord into your spine. If you play guiter, playing that riff has to be like . . . sex, heroin, sky-diving - all of the above? All the rest of the songs are a rush, but I am always waiting to get back around to "Down Payment Blues." That's the only reason this doesn't rate a "5." WARNING: This record is not recommended for play while driving around in a fast car, especially if you have a lot of points on your license.Music Review: best
