Old AC/DC Never Gets Old
I personally like Bon Scott better than Brian Johnson. In fact I can't think of a single song that Bon sang that I didn't like. There are a few that I can think of that I don't like as much by Brian (particularly some songs on Blow Up Your Video), but overall I like both singers. Not that that's Brian's fault, it's just my personal preference.
Every song on '74 rocks. Even though it is short in length (the only drawback on the album, and I mean ONLY), it packs a big punch. Jailbreak is a classic, You Ain't Got A Hold On Me and Show Business rock, Soul Stripper kind of reminds me of Squealer (another AC/DC classic), and they do an excellent cover of Baby Please Don't Go. I've heard that song done before by Van Morrison, Ted Nugent, and others but I like AC/DC's version the best.
If you like AC/DC, then you'll like this album. Unlike some bands, if you like one AC/DC album, you'll like them all. They stay with what they know, and they know straight ahead pure rock. They make no apologies and give it to you the only way they know how, which is with clean heavy distortion with no effects other than the crunch that we've grown to know and love.
Casual fans of AC/DC should become die hard fans after listening to a few of their albums, and this one is a good one to start with. I'm a die hard AC/DC fan, but like many fans, I didn't get into them until I heard You Shook Me All Night Long, one of their many anthems. So I went out and bought Who Made Who, not knowing it was originally on Back In Black, and I loved that album. Then I bought Back In Black (which I believe is their best album,)and immediately loved it. Then came everything else, Dirty Deeds, Let There Be Rock, '74 Jailbreak, High Voltage, and so on. I love them all, they stick with their guns on all of them, and give us what we all crave. They don't experiment with anything else really. When you buy an AC/DC album, you know it's going to rock. No matter how old their tunes get, they're still relevant, even three decades after their release.Read full review
