Negative Positive
Title: Just alright.
Review: Stiff Upper Lip is nothing quite that special. In its nearly 25 year history, AC/DC has never penned lyrics that are this bad. The repetition on tracks like SUL and House of Jazz reak of the creative flavor of say Back in Black or even Ballbreaker for that matter. AC/DC has slowed in pace and tends to shift more towards a blues flavor now, but for the most part it works well. "Satelitte Blues" tastes damn fine and probably is better than any track on Ballbreaker or Razors Edge, but the rest of the album is just plain uninspiring. Many fans are just happy to see AC/DC back from a 4-year recording hiatus, and there initial enthusiasm might skew their view on this new recording. Will this disk be in their players say a month from now? Bet on it, but it won't be taking the place of any Bon era CDs anytime soon.
Is the review positive or negative?
