BRIAN JOHNSON'S BEST ALBUMS

In my opinion this and "Flick Of The Switch" are the best albums they did with Brian Johnson. They are just underrated because all the metal or hard rock albums of that time (especially 85-86) get bashed.So it is definately recommended.

Great, underrated album from AC/DC

From the opening riff of "Fly On The Wall" to the album closer "Send For The Man," this album just plain ROCKS! This is in that category of albums I listen to year after year and never seem to tire of. The album features some mighty tasty solos from Angus Young. Made to be played LOUD!!! Highly recommended!

Fly on The Wall is pretty awesome

This is unlike any other AC/DC album due to the echo of Brian's voice. It's awesome. It's a totally underated AC/DC album, along with the title track. I think that the best song on the album is "Fly on the Wall", the riffs rock and other good songs like "First Blood", "Sink The Pink", and "Shake Your Foundations" pale in the presense of it. I don't see why the song "Fly on The Wall" isn't regarded as one of the albums best songs. If you want to add to an already growing AC/DC collection this is an excellent addition, but don't let it be your first or last because theres some better albums out there like "High Voltage" and "For Those About To Rock".

SINK THE PINK..........THEN BUY THIS ALBUM

FLY ON THE WALL.....so underrated. This album is AC/DC still rocking right through the 80's hair metal fiasco and it's awesome. It's standout tracks are FLY ON THE WALL, SINK THE PINK, SHAKE YOUR FOUNDATIONS, AND DANGER. Great album from a great band.

Not as good as usual but still no reason to trash it

I bought this album expecting it to be lame, but I was suprised to find that it's a decent album. Yes, decent. Not a classic by any strech. For starters, Brian's voice is going, and the production suffers from an over-abundance of reverb which makes it a fairly headachy-sounding album. The watered-down production is my main gripe, because it sucks a lot of energy out of some really good songs. The boring "Danger", the macho-generic "Playing With Girls" (featuring the poorest lyrics ever written by this band), "Hell Or High Water", and "Back in Business" are just dreadful. "First Blood" is a little mediocre, but is just catchy, and the solo is great. The real classics though, have to be the incredible "Shake Your Foundations", "Stand Up", "Send For the Man" and one of their best songs since the days of Back in Black, "Sink the Pink". These songs are what makes the album. Buy it if you already have the classics and you don't mind filler, and hey don't forget to get your ass kicked by "Sink the Pink" and "Shake Your Foundations".

Brian Johnson isn't all that bad

First of all im writing this review to defend Brain johnson, im sick of people critizing him and his voice. He is not bad at all, when you listen to him sing keep in mind that he was about 40 when he recorded this, so compared to Bon he is old. And music wise you cant compare them,the ac/dc sound was changed after Bon died, not just the vocals. Also try to imagine Ac/dc with some one besides bon or brian, its hard isn't it, the only person i can imagine is Dan McCafferty of Nazareth. Don't get me wrong im a huge fan of bon and like him more then brian, i even did my 8th grade english project on Bon, it was about 6 pages long. Anyway this album is basic solid catchy 80's ac/dc

A disappointing album from AC/DC's mid-80s slump

This album sits alongside AC/DC's previous effort, "Flick Of The Switch", as their least interesting.



There are two really good songs on "Fly On The Wall", namely "Sink The Pink" and "Shake Your Foundations" (both of which can be found on the soundtrack album "Who Made Who"). The rest is cookie-cutter mediocrity...the lyrics seem forced and cliched, the music is largely uninspired, lacking the memorable hooks and riffs of AC/DC's best songs, and Brian Johnson's voice is mixed too far into the background.



"Fly On The Wall" was a commercial and critical failure, and it's not hard to understand why. It's steeped in mediocrity, and comparing it to "Highway To Hell", "The Razors Edge", "Let There Be Rock" and the greatest hard rock album ever, "Back In Black", makes it look like even more of a disappointment.

Mostly for completists.

No, it's really good-it rocks

This is actually a very good cd, AC/DC's last real "rocker".
