Review

(Atlantic)

AC/DC had hardly stopped for a breath since Bon Scott’s sudden death and the subsequent recording of Back in Black, their best-selling album. On For Those About to Rock, it started to show. This follow-up managed a couple of (almost) classics: the overblown title track and “Let’s Get It Up,” more sexual hijinks, proving that Brian Johnson could match Bon Scott for comedy lewdness (“Cruisin’ on the seven seas/A pirate of my lovin’ needs”).

STANDOUT TRACKS: “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You),” “Let’s Get It Up”
