    My dad says it's his favorite AC/DC album of *all time*, and he's got 'em all. That should say something.

    I can't wait for my copy to arrive! When you order from Walmart, it says "Black Ice (Red Album)." Why is it known as "Red Album?" I Googled and Wiki'd it but didn't find an explanation. Thanks!

    Well there's a "red" cover and a "blue" cover. That's probably what that means.

    Ah, wasn't aware of the blue cover. For some reason it hadn't come up on the Walmart page, but now I see it. Deluxe Edition.

    Thanks JWB!

    i listened to about 4 songs...pretty boring if you ask me. I know they do their thing, which is stay the same and some people appreciate that, and that is fine. However, it honestly gets pretty tiresome.
    Whats got the whole world faking?

    I just can't bring myself to buying anything from Walmart. Can't stand the place! No AC/DC for me :(

    I went into it with no expectations... and upon finishing it, it's just another AC/DC album. Nothing more, nothing less. And I guess I don't really want that. I know I won't be playing it again any time soon.

    Then how do you that it sounds like all other AC/DC? Your survey of "all AC/DC" consists of 2 songs. Furthermore, have you actually heard the new album to be able to compare it to your 2 songs?

    It fucking rocks. It's worth buying for "Rock N' Roll Train" alone. For those saying "It's the same old AC/DC", what did you expect? This isn't Radiohead where they are trying to reinvent themselves every album. (I'm a huge Radiohead fan, thats not a dis.) AC/DC has a formula that works and it's been the same since they started 35 years ago. Rock n' Roll needs a band like this who just turns it up and goes for it.

    This is AC/DC's best album IMO since Back In Black. The only other album in that time period that that may come close is Razors Edge which IMO has 3 or 4 great tracks but the rest is pretty weak. This album is more than strong from start to finish, and I think BJ sounds far better on this than he did on Stiff Upper Lip.

    As far as it sounding the same - it sounds like AC/DC and thats what i wanted and was expecting. Those who thought that they would change their sound at this point in their careers was kidding themselves. Frankly, I dont want them to change - they are the epitome of rock music. Not to mention they are absolutely brilliant live - Angus is one of the greatest stage performers of all time. I hope i can make it out to one of their shows this winter.

    It does sound pretty similar to everything else they've put out...but after listening to it a few times it's actually a pretty solid album. My fav. song so far is "Black Ice"
