We had this album for March reviews. However, we have decided at that
time to wait a month before writing any review on last AC/DC. Why ?
Because each time (talking about my personal feelings here) since For
Those About To Rock, I always say : "This one is not as good as
the previous one". Which is really unusual with any band or type of
music where the last album is more or less always a better one. On first
listening I was really disappointed of this 'quiet' rock.
When I say 'quiet', I mean very very 'bluesy', too much bluesy and not
enough powerful rock songs. I thought : "Where are those famous song
like Thunderstuck, Who Made Who, Heatseeker, Fire Your Guns, The
Furor, TNT...., this album is really too slow......and I have not
change opinion on that today.
However, what has changed is MY feeling about Stiff Upper Lip.
As usual with AC/DC, the music must grow in you.
The more you listen to it.........well you know the song. Thus, for
the next one I will say again "This one is not as good as the previous
one". Wonderful album, far from their best pieces, but that was "another
time, another dimension". The magic is still here and finally, after
playing it many many times, this album is may be not 'quiet', simply..........different.
'Still Upper Lip' will not disappoint rock / blues fans. AC/DC is and
will always be AC/DC. A monster of rock !!!
