I felt exactly the same as @mckindog about the last album. Bland, flat, meek. AC/DC and Sabbath have both reached an age where mainstream critics feel they have to laud everything they do out of some sort of respect for their longevity, and fear of looking stupid when so many people clearly love the bands. You're absolutely right that the reviews of current AC/DC (and Sabbath) are what the reviews the bands got when they started should have been.
Now, imagine if there was a metal band that had been around nearly 40 years, celebrated it's back catalogue, but developed it's sound and style continually with every new album... In fact, one where a fan could eagerly await the 16th album not knowing what it would sound like... Wouldn't that be great?!
