Import LP on 180-gram vinyl. 2008 was a strong year for AC/DC! "Black Ice" climbed all the way to #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Of the 15 new songs on the album, 3 charted on the Mainstream Rock Chart. "Rock N Roll Train" chugged up to number one. "Big Jack" made it to #10, "Anything Goes" let it all hang out at #34. Toned, muscular hard rock is what AC/DC delivers come rain or shine, and this LP is no different. This 2008 pressing is on quality 180-gram vinyl. 15 songs are too much for one disc, and it is delivered as a feiry double album handsomely housed in a gatefold cover. Even the album sleeves are printed. Sony/BMG.
Picked up this Black Ice double LP and it sounds great on my setup. The 180-gram vinyl feels solid and quiet, and spreading 15 songs across two discs keeps things sounding full rather than cramped. The gatefold cover is a nice touch, and even the inner sleeves have printing on them. Rock N Roll Train, Big Jack and Anything Goes all come through with that toned, muscular hard rock AC/DC is known for. If you want a good-sounding pressing of this 2008 album, this one delivers.
