AC/DC - Let There Be Rock (1977)

This album smokes, simple as that. A must have metal album with a title track that has become one huge anthem. It's a record that features some of Angus Young's finest playing, but if any other band had tried it, as many imitators most certainly have, it just doesn't work.
This is a more professional recording but still maintains the rawness of 'High Voltage' yet remains more consistent throughout, with stand-out tracks in abundance from the shuffling 'Bad Boy Boogie', the said title track, the classic 'Whole Lotta Rosie' and in 'Dog Eat Dog' some of Scott's finest lyrics.
'Let There Be Rock' is one of the band's finest and heaviest works, and this is rock 'n' roll as it was always meant to be.
8/10
