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 their titles sound. This is a record Beavis and Butthead would describe as 'cool'--and, as usual, they'd be right. --Andrew Mueller

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty Dark
Flick Of The Switch, Back In Black, and this one ..."For Those About To Rock" were my first AC/DC albums I was exposed to in the early 80's. Of those 3 this one stands out just as much as Back In Black for me. So many anthems, and it's good to listen to in the fall around Halloween for songs such as "Evil Walks", "Night Of The Long Knives", and "C.O.D". Then of course there are the other rockers/favs in the title track; "Put The Finger On You", "Inject The Venom", and "Let's Get It Up", I even like "Breaking The Rules".

The only two not played very often are "Snowballed" and "Spellbound", and that's probably just because of being too busy playing those other songs mentioned over and over. Stronger than Flick of The Switch, more variety for sure than that one, and to me almost even with Back In Black at times, this one is a very pleasant, albeit dark and heavy, anthemic hard rock.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A solid 4 Album!
this album is very good.a couple snoozers but still has great songs.I still think flick of the switch is better and the razors edge.cant wait for black ice


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 2 good songs
Like all overrated AC/DC albums with BJ two good songs. For Those About To Rock & Lets Get It Up...that's it.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The skies alight with the guitar bite...
The enormous success of 'Back in Black' demanded a follow up full of equally momentous hard rock anthems, so AC/DC along with Mutt Lange (for one last time) tried to recreate the magic of 'BnB' and released 'For Those About to Rock We Salute You' in November of 1981. It was a letdown but it's still a damn good record. The problem is the songwriting sounds awfully tired. The constant flow of gold for the 'BnB' formula started to dry up....it's like they were trying TOO hard. Brian Johnson is the main culprit...he was starting to show his limitations as a lyricist. Lange's production was again flawless in terms of sound quality, I just wished he could have helped Brian out a little more. There really is only one classic, the title track of course which is a metal masterpiece and the gunfire gives me the chills! Angus' solos sound strangely muted here, like the sound is too fine. Other faves include "Evil Walks", "Put ... Read More
