look what turned 30

I pretty much gave up on AC/DC after Let There Be Rock. I was such a Bon Scott fanboy that I never really gave the stuff after that a fair shot.

I've since learned to appreciate the Brian Johnson years more so I guess I should give this one another listen.

Good album. Not their best, or their worst.

Agree - good album, but not spectacular. I like it and played it to death back in the day (got it as a new release), but never felt it was as good as most of what came before it. It is, however, better than the Fly On The Wall (never could get into that album)

I feel the same way about that record, it almost instantly landed in the trade-in pile.

Never heard it.

Loved this album back in the day... I got the cassette for Christmas in '83. I have the remastered CD nowadays but haven't spun it in awhile.

My brother met Brian Johnson about a year ago at a book signing and he told him that "Flick" was one of his favorite AC/DC albums, he sez Brian said something like "Really? That's not somethin' I hear very often mate. Good on ya." ...it's funnier if you hear my brother try to say it in an approximation of Brian's thick accent.

It's my favorite AC/DC album and without a doubt their most underrated. Can't believe this one wasn't huge.

One of the top three best with Brian Johnson...

30 years ago???? great thanks for reminding me how old I am...

Too raw for radio on release.... at that point they werent the flavor of the month..... more melodic and polished stuff was getting the radio and MTV love....
