Album Notes & Community Reviews

Often cited by purists as the ultimate distillation of their raw, blues-soaked power, AC/DC's 'Powerage' is a remarkably tight, relentlessly driving hard rock masterclass. Bon Scott's brilliantly gritty, streetwise lyricism shines atop Malcolm and Angus Young's fiercely energetic, impeccably rhythmic riff-craft, creating an intensely passionate rock-and-roll triumph.
