This album came screaming out of Australia in 1977! AC/DC’s first stab at a “real” album – a break from the early “novelty” approach to songwriting and a move to the more focused album-oriented view that the band would perfect. Includes the classics Let There Be Rock; Bad Boy Boogie; Whole Lotta Rosie , and more!
Immediately after hearing the title of the record, you know what you’re in for, and AC/DC do not disappoint. Let There Be Rock is a treat for your ears, it has eight consistent tracks, all of which are great rockers that you would expect from AC/DC.
Let There Be Rock, the fourth AC/DC album – and first to see simultaneous international release – is as lean and mean as the original line-up ever got. Shaved down to the bone, there are only eight tracks, giving this a lethal efficiency even with a couple of meandering jams. This is a high-voltage, brutal record, filled with “Bad Boy Boogie.”
It has a bit of a bluesier edge than other AC/DC Albums, but this is truly the sound of the band reaching its peak. There’s the near majesty of “Let There Be Rock”, there’s Bon Scott acknowledging with a wink that “Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be”, and then there’s the monumental “Whole Lotta Rosie”.
Let There Be Rock is pure AC/DC in a nutshell – it’s sweaty, dirty, nasty rock, music that is played to the last call and beyond, and they’ve rarely done that kind of rock better than they did here.

If Led Zeppelin were celebrating a “Whole Lotta Love,” AC/DC got down to the grimy details in their leering tribute to the joys of sex with a plus-sized woman. And that’s AC/DC’s allure in a nutshell – it’s sweaty, dirty, nasty rock, music that is played to the last call and beyond, and they’ve rarely done that kind of rock better than they did here.” (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG)
