Overview
This is an absolutely explosive album. Each song carries the same energy as the last, but the aggression seems to escalate with each track. This is a powerhouse release for AC/DC, cementing their reputation as a relentless force in rock. Angus Young’s guitar riffs reach a godly level, and, just like the album cover, he takes center stage throughout. However, this is no discredit to the entire band, who contribute profusely to the album's aggressive energy. AC/DC has always been a band for guitar lovers, and after listening to this album, no one could doubt why. While maintaining their classic, club-Rock-band sound, they undoubtedly raise the bar here, producing an album that demands attention.
Recommended for the guitar lovers looking for driving angry tunes and crazy guitar solos.

There is an almost perfect match between the music and album artwork here. The ‘Let There Be Rock’ godly theme is beautifully conveyed with light streaming down from the heavens as Angus Young tears into a guitar solo. The contrast between the ‘devil’s music’ and the heavenly scenario is flawless, and this album marked the debut of the iconic AC/DC logo on the front cover, which would be seen throughout the rest of their long career. I kind of like the fact I also used to think the crowd were zombies with their grey/green skin.
