The Razor’s Edge

Description

AC/DCThe Razor’s Edgeon LP!

AlthoughAC/DC‘s popularity had decreased by the early ’90s, the band still had a lot of life left in it. Arguably the Australian headbangers’ strongest album in over half a decade,The Razor’s Edgeis quintessentialAC/DC rowdy, abrasive, unapologetically fun metal full of blistering power chords, memorable hooks, and testosterone-driven lyrics. Lead singer Brian Johnson sounds more inspired than he had since 1983’sFlick of the Switch, and lead guitarist Angus Young isn’t about to take any prisoners on such hard-hitting material as ‘Shot of Love,’ the menacing title song, and the appropriately titled ‘Got You By the Balls.’ Although not quite in a class withBack in Black,Highway to Hell, orLet There Be Rock all of which would, for novices, serve as fine introductions to the distinctive band The Razor’s Edgewas a welcome addition toAC/DC‘s catalog.
