AC/DC had been nearly written off as a shadow of its former pulverizing self at the start of the '90s. It seemed, sadly, that the band's best hard rock years were behind them and a younger, more able-bodied generation of rockers would be needed to carry the torch. Out of nowhere, then, came THE RAZOR'S EDGE, an album of startling potency. Not only was the firepower back in terms of gripping riffs, but the band was able to summon the focus to lay out its most memorable collection of songs in years.

With "Thunderstruck" alone, the band shakes off complacency with one mighty swipe. It's an instant AC/DC classic, scouring the familiar terrain of piercing guitar lines, and a locked in rhythm section. The band also scored a direct hit with "Moneytalks," a pop-hook-with-a-wallop single that nearly matches the band's 1980's radio staple, "You Shook Me All Night Long."

2003 remastered reissue of 1990 album packaged in a digipak with 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia, and liner notes. Epic.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Entertainment Weekly (1/25/91) - A "Last year's one really great hard-rock record, loud enough to splinter eardrums and utterly unapologetic about what aficionados will recognize as inspired, both as an assault on the basics and an affirmation of them."

I think it's great that they still bothered making music at there age and into the 90's, but other than thunderstruck, this album is one of my least favorites... I wouldn't recomend it if you are a big AC/DC fan, one of their worst.

This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser. With AC/DC's third release, POWERAGE, the band was dispensing even heftier ammo from their hook-laden cartridge belt. With the rock-steady rhythm section pounding out 4/4 beats as if it were overtaking a small country, guitarists (and brothers) Angus and Malcolm Young trade towering riffs that belie their pint-sized physical stature. ...

Super Hits Of The '70S: Have A Nice Day, Vol. 4 CD  (1990)

The Razor's Edge
CD $9.29  5 stars Audio Samples
Other volumes in this series may have more memorable hits, but volume four is one of the classiest entries, in terms of being chock-full of songs that remain respectable (and a few of which have even improved) after the 30 years that have passed. It's relentlessly tuneful AM radio but, with the possible exception of the two bonus tracks (Mark Lindsay's "Silver Bird" and the Glass Bottle's "I Ain't Got TIme Anymore"), nothing that would make the modern listener wonder "what we were thinking?" when millions of copies of these records were sold. The all-but-forgotten ...

The Razor's Edge
CD $15.05  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Recorded between 1956 & 1988. Includes liner notes by Cliff White. James Brown's two-CD 40th Anniversary Collection gathered 40 of the soul-funk giant's biggest hits, and in keeping with its title, The 50th Anniversary Collection is just that little bit bigger and better, with (could you guess?) 50 of his most famous tracks. From 1956's "Please, Please, Please" to 1988's "Static, Pts. 1 & 2," it has almost all of his biggies, though the absence of the 1986 Top Five hit "Living in America" is puzzling indeed. But that's a minor quibble given the dozens of classics onboard, which taken as a whole ...
