AC/DC Power Up Album Review | Overkill Reviews 

Stevie Young is theyre nephew not theyre cousin 👍

AC/DC still rockin in 2020. Awesome!.

Love the Amorphis tee Martin is wearing. Good to see him reppin’ a solid MDM band from Finland. And one of my favorites. 🤘🏼

@M. White I hear ya!! I think they're just getting older and slowing down like their music. I thought "Pwr up" would be heavy as hell but got something else otherwise. "Demon fire" is a hell of a track when it kicks in. "Through the mists of time" is kinda like "You shook me all night long". I'm like you..what happened to songs like "For those about to rock"?? You would figure for Malcom they would go back to the heaviness and stop writing "radio friendly" type songs and kick some major ass. Im sure the lads felt like they've already done that and wanna do more layed back rock n roll. Maybe one day when we get older we'll look back at this new album and hear it alot different. Hopefully we can still hear at their age..haha look at poor Brian.

@M. White Yes!! And to be known as a band that never changes their sound i think the die hard fans like us beg to differ. They definitely have changed over the years.

@M. White Hell yeah!! They would be surprised by the positive reaction they would get from a heavy ass record.

What: AC DC is immortal, its traded, 13 year old like it, its forever 🍺

@M. White lol no you just don’t like them then all these songs are awesome

It's been broke since Brendan O'Brien came on board and proceeded to make them a blues pop rock band.

OP doesn't realise that, too busy getting likes on youtube. At one point he says they are doing nothing new, at another point he celebrates that they are still the same old band. AC/DC don't change, yet one year (late nineties) NME is criticising them for not changing and a few years later, NME gives Stiff Upper Lip the greatest review I'd ever read in that magazine. Akker Dakker do what the fuck they want to do, deal with it journalists and crap youtubers. Just celebrate a band that changed rock music like Maiden changed metal, and stayed true to themselves at the same time.

Indeed.

Yea bro I just bought it on Vinyl, andi love it!

well I mean 90% of their songs are about sex.

@@yowodup6094 lol

Tremendous 🤘

@Bo Wu great description!

Well put Bo Wu....well put. I’ve had more great sex to HTH than any other album...she liked it done medium rare 👊🏼

that song and Through The Mists of Time and Realize, i really hope they play live.

*Shot in the dark* 🤘🏻

No mans land plz

Like Slayer & Motorhead. RIP

Yup, ACDC is comfort food. Like the first single, very interested to hear the rest

0 progression, 0 evolution, lame Band

@@gerardoa9179 yeah, they won't get very far

@@EduFirenze músic for lazy people that like repetitive music

us too!

yup..awesome song

Standout track for me as well.

Agree. I was shocked. A ballad, essentially. I skip it a lot bc it makes me feel misty 😢

Good old repetitive and monotone band

@@gerardoa9179 that's the best

@@gerardoa9179 don't fix what's not broken

@@russell2890 nahh, that just a cachy phrase. Bands, music and people evolve constantly,change constantly, AC/DC just got stuck, 0 evolution, 0 pregression. Sorry but that not músic for me, even some pop bands have more evolution than this.

@@gerardoa9179 Yeah well you know. That's just like your opinion, man.

Now u listen to the Toad God Abbath

@@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458 Yup black and progressive metal are what I listen to, currently.

For me it was Back In Black and Kill Em' All, with Unleashed In The East in between.

Not crazy about Black Ice either but c’mon Stiff Upper Lip is great 🔥🔥

@Chris Lewis I still need time to sit with this new album. As of now I do feel that Rock or Bust is a stronger, more AC⚡️DC sounding album; but I’ve been listening to it for 6 years now, it even has a nostalgia factor at this point. I think Shot in the Dark is very AC⚡️DC. It’s a banger and it’s like a cross between Stiff Upper Lip and Rock N Roll Train. I think as fans we have to let go of expectations and listen to the tracks until we understand where they were coming from. Apparently these were all songs that Angus and Malcolm worked on together over the years, but let’s face it, it’s the first album that was completely orchestrated by Angus without his other half. Even most of the songs don’t end with their traditional “bamp” at the end, which is fine but it’s definitely different than 90% of there other songs. I guess I’m not trying to change your mind, I just like talking about these guys. They’re the best band out there and the fact that they’re still rising from the ashes harkens back to Back in Black and is part of the reason these guys are incredible. I’ll follow them where ever they go and I’m gonna keep listening to this album until I understand where Angus and the boys were coming from. Side note: check out his interview with 60 minutes; the love and respect he shows for his brother is truly touching and inspirational.

@Martin Popoff Awesome Martin, that's my favorite Amorphis album, and one of my all-time favorites in general

The fact he sort of glosses over it is not giving it the respect it deserves. Awesome track

Yes I've had that tune on repeat constantly. Great album aswell

Same here. Systems Down has been on repeat too. Can't believe how, this far in, AC/DC is still putting out such great tunes

Yep and realise is great and kick you when your down demon fire and code red my faces. I'm 33 and seen them 2 twice at wembley and west ham's ground. One with brian johnson and other axl Who did a good job. But seeing Angus all that mattered to me. Considering I'm 33 I'm so happy I've got to see them before they retire I've got lucky. Ha ha

Agreed! Just fantastic and endearing!

I think he meant a neutrual 4 out of 5. Like, not a strong or weak 4, but just a 4.

You couldn't score it a 5/5 though could you? That's reserved for classic status and this clearly isn't that good or would anyone in their right mind expect a DC album in 2020 to be. It's quite rightly a rock solid 4/5.

Because it's surprisingly good album but not as good as "back in black", "highway to hell" or "let there be rock"

etc.....

11 on a 10 scale

You won´t be disappointed. You´ll get what you expect...maybe more.

Sorry mate, but you won't get any rawness with Brendan O'Brien as producer. He made their sound as streamlined and radio-friendly as possible, and I doubt this will be an exception.

@Martin Popoff Flick Of THE Switch is criminally underrated.

Me too! Flick of the switch is an awesome album..

Great review as always. Bow to the master 🙇🏻‍♀️ 🙇🏾‍♂️ 🙇🏼

I am sure he got an advance copy...

@@scottwhite1963 Aye, right. Sure he did.

@M. White I couldn't disagree with you more. We will have to agree to disagree. Ultimately

@M. White I disagree this is a great album!!

@Chris Lewis what's laughable is your DAFT overview of Power Up. Period. End of Story.

@Chris Lewis Nope Not AT ALL "dude". Your 1,000% off and delusional. Power Up stands along side with BIB FTATRWSY and Flick Of The Switch. It kicks all other albums ass released after FOTS 1983 and this is coming from a die hard fan too. Toche

@Chris Lewis And I didn't like Rock Or Bust,Half of Black Ice was ok,Stiff Upper Lip half was ok... Ballbreaker,Razor's Edge,Blow Up Your Video,Who Made Who,Fly On The Wall....NONE are even close to Power Up. You've officially LOST your ear for AC/DC guy.

From memory he is the son of Stephen Young, the oldest of the four Young brothers (the others being George, Malcolm, and Angus).

@@XlouietheflyX there's other brothers---alex, john, william and a sister margaret
