Amazon.co.uk Review
Lesser bands might have been put off their stride by the death of their lead singer, but not AC/DC. No sooner had Bon Scott met his whiskey-sodden end in 1980 than AC/DC recruited a new singer, Brian Johnson--who sounded almost exactly like Scott--and released, in Back In Black, the biggest-selling album of their career. For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) is a suitably triumphant follow-up. The cannon-punctuated title track--the most auspicious marriage of music and artillery since Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"--still provides a spectacular finale to AC/DC concerts. For Those About To Rock... also confirmed that Johnson's lyrical preoccupations were broadly congruent with those of his predecessor: "Let's Get It Up" and "Inject The Venom" are as subtle as they sound. For Those About To Rock... is a record Beavis & Butthead would describe as "cool"--and, as usual, they'd be right.--Andrew Mueller

CD Description
Brian Johnson's second album as AC/DC's frontman, and as such helped them create a phenomenal commercial success, with both singles, 'Let's Get It Up' and the title track, charting on both sides of the Atlantic. The album went on to sell over a million copies world-wide and the title track became an immediate live favourite, complete with a cannon-fire salute stage show that became instant encore material. Elsewhere, their familiar rattle remained intact, with 'Night Of The Long Knives' and 'Breaking The Rules' forging a familiar piece of metal.
