At least you always know what you're gonna get with the boys. Some would call it predictable, others would drool over the three-chord metal magic. For me I'm stuck in the middle...but still always fall for the charm, wit and boogie rock they've churned out since year dot. This isn't to say that 'Flick...' doesn't hold any aces, but of the cuts on offer this comes nowhere close to the mayhem of 'Back In Black', but 'Flick...' does remain one of the best AC/DC albums with Brian at the helm. 'Rising Power', 'This House Is On Fire' and 'Brain Shake', like so many other tracks on this record, offer those punchy chanted choruses and Angus' unique yet oh so simple riffage. 'Nervous Shakedown' slows the pace whilst 'Bedlam In Belgium' does pretty much what it says on the tin! And that is pretty much the AC/ DC motto...no fancy stuff, just good rock 'n' roll for the masses. Time and timer again AC/ DC are able to churn out these type of albums and yet the listener never feels cheated because this stuff is timeless without moving with the time. Docked half a point for the rubbish cover.
7.5/10
