- A couple of brilliant songs, but overall, a little lame
This rating for this CD is within the context of comparing it to Back in Black, possibly the greatest hard rock album of all time. Let's face it, AC/DC set a standard so high with that album that even they haven't been able to match it since. Thunderstruck is by far the best song on Razors Edge--a great song, too--as good as most of the songs on Back in Black. And the title song, Razors Edge, is pretty good. But the rest, ehh--they don't quite cut it for me. I must say that when a band hones on one specific sound in one specific type of music with almost no variation in those areas (which I commend them for), the world's greatest songwriter will struggle with coming up with ALL KILLER SONGS on a dozen or so albums over the space of 20-25 years. AC/DC were truly inspired and full of magic when they wrote and recorded the Highway to Hell and Back in Black albums, but I think time has proven that those two efforts were ... Read More

- A return to form

Why do I say that this album is a return to form for the band? Well, as a child I had bought a few of their albums and always found at least two songs that I considered 'classics' as well as 'discovering' other songs on those albums which were good or fun or had some sort of appeal. Those albums would be "T.N.T" (which I bought new in Australia recently, after hearing that it was no longer being made...having been replaced by the US version of it, "High voltage", which had minor track variations), "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" (I mean the original Australian release, not the US version, which, for some reason, omitted one of their all time great songs, "Jailbreak". Go figure) and, of course, "Back in black", which is my pick as the greatest album of all time in the pop/rock field.

After these classic albums, AC/DC seemed to go downhill...releasing albums which you would consider yourself lucky ... Read More

- broken cd

- Bought the album for one or two songs
I bought this album for Moneytalks and Thunderstruck. Usually on AC/DC albums, I buy the CD for one or two songs and warm to the other songs over time -- eventually learning to love the whole album. I've had it for several months now, and just can't get into the rest of the songs. They all sound the same and most are in the same key. I know AC/DC thrives on using the same sound, but they usually make it a little more interesting than this. About half of the songs lack the hooks and power chords they're famous for. Fantastic album if you're not looking for anything earth shattering aside from the aforementioned songs. Of course, that's just my opinion.
