Not as powerful as Let There Be Rock

Here is the follow-up to Let There Be Rock. This album toned down the overdriven amps of it's predecessor, and that is not necessarily a good thing. A Somewhat boogie/blues album that just doesn't seem finished. George Young's production is not bad, however. Powerage just doesn't seem to have too much rage with exception of maybe Riff Raff. Not too many of the songs are that memorable. Sin City is a concert fave, as was Riff Raff, but everything else? Not imperative. The European LP contained Cold Hearted Man instead of the single Rock N Roll Damnation- about an even exchange, plus many of the cuts had different edits and mixes- worth finding if you are a completist.

Rock music lover, new to AC DC loves this album!!!

I only hold back one star because I haven't heard many of their more popular releases. As a huge Zeppelin and Pink Floyd fan I find the songs on Powerage to be delightfully HARD!!! Where has AC/DC been all of my life??? THIS is why I listen to rock music, for drums, guitars and music that shakes me to the core! I have to disagree with some of the earlier posts and say that this is a great way to plunge into AC/DC! Granted, I am older and already love a large variety of rock music. The fact that these songs were all new and fresh to me was a plus. My personal favorites here are 'Gimme a Bullet' and 'Up to My Neck in You'.

THE BEST BON ALBUM EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This album ROCKS!!!!From the opening notes of Rock'n'Roll Damnation to the final notes of Kicked in the Teeth,this album is the best.This is Acording to the Young brothers,there favorite album.Strange,though that it is so underrated.If you're looking for a hardcore AC/DC album THIS IS THE ONE!!!!!
