Definitely the only AC/DC album I would consider "worth revisiting". Their other stuff doesn't hold up in my opinion.... except that Dirty deeds album.

In contrast with BACK IN BLACK, FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK (WE SALUTE YOU) possesses an upbeat, almost celebratory vibe that probably reflected the bands mood at this point in time. Although their formula was essentially the same, the tempos are a bit more relaxed. These songs are catchy with a subtle pop-metal vibe that seemed to make them ready made for FM radio. On the surface, this lively record seemed satisfying and delivered many worthwhile songs. With deeper scrutiny, minor flaws become more noticeable and much of gold in this album winds up being a bit more silver in value. Criticisms aside, I still enjoy the hell out of this album and can't deny I still get a charge out it with every spin.

The individual tracks on BIB may dwarf FTATR; however, FTATR is more enjoyable to listen to in its entirety because it displays variety.

This album shows yet a classic sound of AC/DC. It doesn't rech the level of his predecesors but is close. Another album of the most brilliant AC/DC era.

Having released their Magnum Opus in Back In Black, Acca/Dacca would have a seriously difficult time following up that monster. Yet their seventh international studio album, and second with vocalist Brian Johnson, is just as much killer as BiB. Their third best album.

They made some albums that were worse, but more that were better than this one.
The title track is the only classic AC/DC track here, far from being one of my favorite AC/DC-classics, as a result I hardly listen to this CD anymore.
AC/DC is a classic band, simply because its huge influence it had on thousands of rock bands that came after them, and not only rockbands are fans and are inspired by AC/DC. Living Colour and Hooverphonic also made covers of AC/DC, hell, even the hip-hoppers of Starflam are fans !

*Sigh* oh damn, where to begin? I really enjoyed Back in Black. Then I heard the title track for this album and I thought the rest of the songs would be just as good. Christ, was I wrong. This could be one of the most uninspired rock portraits of AC/DC's career. But hell, I haven't listened to ALL of their stuff, so yeah. Anyways, after they went off tour for the promotion of Back in Black, they decided to make this album. 10 minutes later, the world got a taste of this monstrocity.
