| AC/DC enters the world with a decent record that lacks focus, with a tracklist that's inconsistent and sounds more like a not-so-confident beginner band out of a bar struggling to find their style, featuring a dip into R&B, Blues, and even a love ballad. While most of the material here edges on typical album filler with only a couple decently written songs like Bon's metaphor-filled "Love Song", the amazing groovy "Soul Stripper", the twin-guitar attack on catchy cover "Baby, Please Don't Go", and R&B-influenced track "You Ain't Got A Hold On Me", the rest of the album pales in comparison and that's possibly due to the changing lineup of musicians as they did not have a set bassist or drummer at the time. This album is a let-down that is the most inconsistent and uneven of their material in their early years, and you're better off listening to the E.P "Jailbreak" but still gives you a feeling that there just might be something great bubbling here under the muck. |
