As far as Bon Scott-era AC/DC goes, for decades I've been listening to Dirty Deeds and Highway to Hell and (to a lesser degree) High Voltage.
Powerage doesn't have any songs that get radio airplay so I never really listened to it until now.
And I'm loving it. I think I need a deep dive into all of the Bon Scott era records.
EDIT: What a turdfest! Terrible. Like all the worst excesses of The Key trilogy, but turned up to 11. “Power” is by far the best song on offer here, but the rest is tripe aside from a small handful of decent instrumental parts. What a disappointment.
Chez Kane Reckless gives me a certain kind of feeling. You know the one. Wanting to speak in a Tongue of Love, to Strip Me Down on a Night of Passion, to be so ridiculously Reckless that a Love Tornado might swallow both me and the Bad Girl whole.
But it’s Too Dangerous. So I keep that urge to Bodyrock in check and wander the streets like a Street Survivor - living with what could have been between us, and never was - listening to my Personal Rock N’ Roll.
At first, I wanted to rate this album lower than the first two. But after a second listen - no. It’s the same formula, sure: formulaic, aimed at something very specific. But it’s fun nonetheless. And you know… it gives off certain vibes. Oh - here I go again.

Already on the first track of the debut album. Because, you know - what could be Better Than Love?
