| With every new AC/DC release, I hope the band will return to the glory days of 'The Razor's Edge,' and once again I am disappointed. That's not to say 'Stiff Upper Lip' is bad, because it's not, but it's just nowhere near as good as the more polished, commercially-accessible 'Razor's Edge.' The songs are not as over-the-top and backing vocal-oriented as I prefer. But for those looking for a solid dose of rough-n-ready hard rock, this new AC/DC album will satisfy your cravings.

| For years these guys have been putting out the same record. Angus comes up with some great riffs, real rib busters, but alot of the songs don't ever meet their potential. It's frustrating, when you know they could have done better. Stiff Upper Lip fairs better than their last one Ball Breaker, which should have been called Ball Chapper, because it tanked... 8.5 on this one....

| I really agree with M. Allen. While I enjoy all of AC/DC's albums (w/ the exception of 'Flick of the Switch', that is) but I miss the days of 'Blow Up Your Video' and 'The Razor's Edge'. 'Stiff Upper Lip' rocks but not as well as 'Ballbreaker' (except Rubin's production sucked) and it is good, fun hard rock 'n' roll. My biggest problem is that 'SUL' lacks energy and the kind of balls the band exhibited on 'the Razor's Edge'. I'm glad that somebody else agrees with me. Bet/r luck next time

Do you want to hear something spookie? I have a AC/DC CD singal called 'Safe In New York City'. Now let me paint a picture for you. The cover has a bronze Angus just like the S.U.L. album but, in the back ground are the Twin Towers and across the sky line is says 'AC/DC - Safe In New York City.' This singal came out a year before the 9/11 disaster. If you can get your hands on one of these CD singals than I suggest you do so!! I have to think it will be a collectors item before long.

| Well, Brian Johnson is up to something new. In collaboration with Robert De Warren (art director of the Sarasota Ballet), Brian has written a musical entitled 'Helen Of Troy,' based on the Greek mythology. Brian wrote the music & lyrics w/composer Brendan Healy. The production is scheduled to premiere in March 2003 at Sarasota's Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. Can you believe that?

| What the hell is this person talking about, SELL OUT!? Hmmm...... Lets see here. Does any song on this album have more than 3 cords?..NO! Is there any acoustic guitars on this album?..NO! Are there any female backup singers?..NO! Is there a duet with N'SYNC on this album?..NO!!! So tell me something....... Where do you get off saying 'sell out?' This is a very basic AC/DC album, PAL!

| This album is not a 'sell out', but the band is really starting to show its age. This album just sounds tired for the most part. In the 90s, the first time I heard Thunderstruck, Big Gun, and Hard as a Rock I was blown away. Here there nothing blows me away. Only tracks 5 and 12 have any real energy, and they're still a bit tame. It's a fun album, and it's typicla AC/DC, but they sure didn't stretch themselves much. If there is another album I hope it's as heavy as Back in Black.

| AC/DC were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame on March 10th 2003. Here is part of the story from VH1.com...... And then, all of a sudden, like a truck bomb in a brickyard, AC/DC happened. There they were, with guitarist Angus Young duck-walking across the stage, ripping out the chords to 'Highway to Hell,' while singer Brian Johnson launched his power-drill shriek up toward the (relatively) cheap seats.

| Big improvement on 'Ballbreaker'. Johnson's voice sounds better than it has in fifteen years. The opening track might be the bands last classic song (let's hope not) and I am also a big fan of the last song, 'Give It Up'. If their is one problem with the album, it would be how a lot of the songs just have the chorus repeated over and over ('Safe In New York City' and 'Satellite Blues'). 8/10

| You know it just occurred to me a little while ago that AC/DC never had a greatest hits package. Probably the only major band in history never to have one. And to think they've been around for almost 30 years. Sort of puts AC/DC into a class of its own. They got the kind of raw 'Down Under' aura about them which says, 'Hey mateys, let's keep cranking out them three-riff power chords..... eh, Best Of? What's that??'.

| For those who want their bands to play the same over and over again, here's a good example of how self-destructive that can be. AC/DC is one of the most repetitive bands ever! It all comes down to this! People get tired of the same old formula. AC/DC will always be remembered for a few good classics, but the rest just bores me to death. Quite uninteresting album!

| Dear Howe, please define 'self-destructive' in your previous post...The only self-destructive thing about AC/DC would be their drinking habits back in the 70s and 80s. This band needs no defense or justification, because they are who they are: living legends. And speaking of needed changes, why not come up with a different gripe than everyone else has. That complaint has been around longer than Angus' school boy outfit. Give it a rest will ya?

| I don't care if this band needs justification or not. It's not about that. I have an opinion about this album and this band and I shared it with everybody here at HH! That's all!... And Erik 'clouding my judgement'? Sometimes our devotion to something really clouds our good sense and our ability to respect other views! But why are we discussing when this band 'needs no justification'? Boy, you seem like you're talking of a religion or something... Anyway, in the end I like many AC/DC songs, so..

| Be honest you guys this doesnt even compare with the 70's & 80's albums this is boring and uninspired a little bit better than the dire Ballbreaker but still not worth buying or listening to as a vague comparison Fly on the wall a weaker old AC album pisses and shits all over this

| The problem with Stiff Upper Lip isn't that it's the "same old shit." The issue, or at least mine, is that the songs just aren't very good. The band sounds tired and old, Johnson on his last legs, the Young brothers bored and mild, the songs flat and forgettable and sometimes downright stupid. "Give It Up," "Satellite Blues" and the title track are just about all this record has to offer.

| well doghouse not sure i agree they sounded tired and old on this one although i gotta admit they didn't play many songs off this for the tour in fact when they came to australia they just played the title track but the time away between this and black ice made them inspired black ice was the best they made in years
|
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: August 30, 2010 at 15:36 |
| Really man, after 8 years since this poor release, AC/DC would've had no excuse if Black Ice had been a similar dud. I don't blame them for not playing too many of these songs on the tour. "Hold Me Back," "Can't Stand Still," "Safe in NYC," "Damned" and "House Of Jazz" have to be some of the band's worst, laziest and dumbest songs ever.

| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: June 1, 2014 at 14:07 |
| It took some years for the band to release a new album and they came with this typical AC/DC sound...basically nothing new under the stars but still causing the effect necessary to catch people's attention...i mean,the sound of the band is already a homemade brand...tracks 1,3,5,6,7,9,10 & 11 are going directly in my book...87/100

| AC/DC get criticism all the time for sounding like AC/DC. Not the most genius of criticisms, but then a lot of people are stupid. This is a dark horse like of mine, perhaps because none of the songs have been overplayed. The best known tracks are Safe in New York City which has a catchy groove, Satellite Blues with that unmistakable Young Brothers boogie and the title track. I find the album solid with a good collection of tracks that don't bore. Yes it is AC/DC and sounds like them. But what do you expect?! A solid B rating.
