it might you know...

Thunderstruck, Fire Your Guns, Moneytalks, The Razors Edge, Are You Ready, Got You By The Balls, Shot Of Love and Goodbye And Good Riddance To Bad Luck are all good or better songs. Some are absolute crackers. Lyrically superior to BI, in that there is some sense in the lyrics. All the songs are finished.

And most importantly of all I don't get the feeling that it is constructed.

Over to you Carlos :)

your taking the piss now. its a good job I'm at work or my reply would be much longer and would put this ridiculous arrgument to bed once and for all. Later on tonight I will give my answer the attention it deserves

I was pissed wasn't I? Jem is on a wind up isn't he?

I like EDGE better because it sounds "edgier" to me, I´ve always prefered AC/DC´s harder stuff, to be honest. Apart from that, the album sounds like good old AC/DC with a modern approach, like AC/DC for a new decade. It was a natural progression, imo. Later albums have that forced "back to basics" approach that is not working for me as it probably should.

All and all, I liked the direction AC/DC was heading to in the early 90s, Chris Slade gave them a kick in the ass and Big Gun is probably the last really ballsy AC/DC song.

Here´s a little something I wrote when I was stupid enough to care about having a blog: http://balltoucher.b...

That said, WHEEEEEEEEEEEELS is and always be a masterpiece.

BI wins. People would fuckin love this album sooo much more if we didnt have this setlist problem... TRE does kick ass tho. Slade is EPIC!

I also prefer TRE.
Black ice is a great album, with a lot of unfulfilled potential. Some songs could have been longer and structurally richer, a fast tempo song is sorely missing. However what annoys me the most is the lack of better and longer solos from Angus. Money made doesn't even have a solo.
It seems that musically speaking they're taking a direction where "less" means always "better", and I just don't feel that way.
Black Ice had the potential to be better than TRE but as it is, it's not.

"The Razor's Edge might be better than BI..."

It might indeed.......................then again it might bloody well not be!!!!!!!!!

*draws deep breath and considers expanding arguement against statement, shakes head and mumbles "Leave it. They're not worth it". Slopes off for another pancake*

Wheels is great! One of the better songs on Black Ice.

Could have used a better beginning though.....

I think Wheels might have the best chorus on BI..... trying to think of a better one.....

War Machine has the best chorus on BI.

nope, its the truth.

Mal and Cliff never sounded better...very simalar to Squealer.

Seriously BT...I think it might be...

edit for next post...

Ah....of course. It has all become clear :)

Jem's right. I'm just worried it took this long to figure out :P

i think my way of thinking is now being accepted as the truth.
BI=Dogs bollocks
TRE= just bollocks

Carlos. Whoa up there big fella. BI tops TRE for me, but the mutts nuts? Its decent, overlong by 4/5 tracks, but decent none-the-less. Hardly deserving of the testicle inference though.

BoogieMan-when did AC/DC last really sound like AC/DC though? 20 years ago?

AC/DC have always sounded like AC/DC. Different wrappers on the same sweetie.

Here's two sides to this:

1. The Razor's Edge is a spectacular album in terms of making you just want to get up and want to get laid and kick some ass. Slade is probably the most talented musician the band ever had, and I honestly feel he was under-used. Sure he's not Rudd, but it's still a killer album.

2. HOWEVER, I absolutely love Black Ice. Honestly, it's my favorite album since FOTW. It shows so much versatility from them, much more so than the past few albums. I give the edge (not the Razor's) to Black Ice, but that does not defeat The Razor's Edge as an enjoyable album to just jam out too.
