Amazon.com essential recording
What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC/DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track, and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David Cantwell

 AC / DC - The End Of The Bon Scott Era August 22, 2008
"Highway To Hell" would be the album that put AC/DC on the map in the U.S., but would also be the last for lead singer Bon Scott who would die of alcohol poisoning shortly after the album's release. Scott always harnessed a playful nod and a wink sense of humor in his lyrics and vocals that would raise the level of the material up a few notches. You never got the feeling that he was taking himself too seriously. Musically in many ways AC/DC sticks to their patented formula, but on this album everything works very nicely. The title track became the band's first legit hit in the U.S. and remains one of the most famous classic rock guitar riffs to this day. For straight ahead rock n roll with a slight bluesy touch in spots it does not get much better than this. For me "Highway To Hell" may be the all time best AC/DC studio album and remains a hard rock classic from the end of the 70's.
HIghway to Hell (Been There, Done, That) June 28, 2008
Killer Album, lets me go back to when music was music. Got it in less then a week. Good works Amazon and Pepsi. You Cats Rock! Yeah!
 Worth It Just For the Title Track! June 2, 2008
Not sure if you've looked on Napster or iTunes, but there is precious little original AC/DC to be had. I wanted to download H2H (legally, even) but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I'm not the world's #1 fan but there are a few AC/DC songs that are in my all time classics -- the title, the title track for Back in Black, and You Shook Me All Night Long (Back in Black also). The rest of the songs are good but I'm not familiar with them. One thing that I love about the whole thing is the vocals and instruments all work together versus against one another and the sound works... crazy, but it sounds "natural."
Best AC/DC Album May 4, 2008
While Back in Black probably is top to bottom a great album. This has to be the best AC/DC album of all time. There are at least 2 if not 3 songs on this album better than any on Back in Black. This is one of my favorite albums ever and I would recommend it to anybody.
If you like this album, The Razor's Edge, High Voltage, and Back in Black are AC/DC's other great albums and you will enjoy them too. I'd also recommend '74 Jailbreak because Jailbreak is a great song.
Classic album that sounds awsome! April 19, 2008
I'm not going to waste my time describing this album because I'm pretty sure all AC/DC fans are familiar with it. The thing is that I really don't understand how a reviewer said that this remastered cd sounded bad. The sound is clean and clear. The guitars are more "alive" than the original cd version. If you don't own a copy, by all means go buy one. Walmart sells all of the Epic remasters for $9.72. I even saw some of them for $8.64.
