Black Ice

This is the fifteenth studio album from the Australian hard rock band Ac/Dc. The album was delayed because bassist Cliff Williams had been injured, but the wait is over. This is the bands first CD since the 2000 release of Stiff Upper Lip, the longest gap between Ac/Dc CDs ever. This is also the bands longest CD ever. I’m so excited for this album. The only Ac/Dc CD I have is the much popular, Back In Black, the bands first CD with lead singer Brian Johnson. The band is much older now, and I’m little scared that might affect their performance on this album, but I’ve heard one song on the radio from Black Ice and they sound exactly the same. Angus Young, lead guitar, still sends shivers down your spine, and Brian Johnson sounds great. The album sold 1,762,000 copies in the first week on the shelves, but is only being sold at Wal-Mart. I don’t really understand this at all. Why would you only sell at Wal-Mart? Wouldn’t you sell even more copies if were also at Best Buy or something? I guess it’s just some deal they made with Wal-Mart. Anyway, I really like the name choice of this CD it’s very Ac/Dc, maybe just because it has the word black in it, but it works. I also like the cover. It’s really in your face with AC/DC in big red letters on a black background. The album also comes in yellow, white, and a bluish ice color symbolizing black ice. I think this is for the special edition CDs. I can’t wait to buy this album, and hopefully won’t be disappointed.
