Negative Positive
Title: Beginning of the End
Review: Although this is the first full-length with Brian Johnson on vocals, the band had already seemingly reached their musical peak during the Bon Scott era. The 8 releases that followed this album are almost identical in substance, and weigh heavily on the release of the title track from each respective album to keep fans interested. The previous 6 studio releases with Bon contained at least some variation as the tracks progressed through the album. It seemed like producer extraordinaire, Mutt Lange, mastered the tracks for this album to sound polished and radio-ready during the recording process. You can hear similar over-production on titles such as "Hysteria" and "Come on Over." Stick with the earlier AC/DC releases for true gritty rock n' roll.
