TAS Rated 3/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the January 2009 Issue of The Absolute Sound!
Black Ice is the 15th studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC! This is the band's first album in eight years, since the release of Stiff Upper Lip in 2000, which is the longest gap between AC/DC's studio albums to date. Black Ice finds brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, along with Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd belting out 15 new tracks!
For Black Ice, Brian Johnson revealed that for the first time since the 1988 album Blow Up Your Video, he would be handling lyrics, Angus Young has written harder riffs than those on the previous album, Stiff Upper Lip. The album was produced by Brendan O'Brien and mixed by Mike Fraser at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC.
"Brian wails about skies on fire, blood in his eyes, storms raging, lightning flashes, hard rain and pretty women... Angus Young shreds throughout... Malcom Young, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd - are solid as a rock." - Rolling Stone Magazine, August 2008
"The story hear is the clean, crisp production. Brendan O'Brien provides vast spaciousness and demonstration-quality drumming. Percussive body, weight, shape, and imaging astound. Sonics don't get any punchier." - Bob Gendron, The Absolute Sound, January 2009
