High Voltage album Product Description
High Voltage album by AC / DC was released Oct 14, 2003 on the Epic label. 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. The 2003 edition of HIGH VOLTAGE includes liner notes by Murray Engelheart. HIGH VOLTAGE was the first chance America had to glimpse the raw power of Australia's best hard rock outfit. High Voltage CD music From their earliest days, lead guitarist Angus Young, a spastic dwarf-like riff-monger who wore nothing but traditional schoolboy attire, led this band of hooligans with gleeful perversity and balls-out ambition. The group's intent is perfectly clear from the disc's opening power chords: to distill rock and mutate the blues down to its barest essentials in a pulverizing whomp. Riding over the top of the battering rhythm section is the all-too-true sneer of vocalist Bon Scott, who brings sexist anthems to a previously unachieved high (or low, depending on your reference point). With over-the-top show-stoppers about gonorrhea ("The Jack"), HIGH VOLTAGE is not for the faint of heart. The single from this record, "T.N. T," got AC/DC into rock radio rotation and gave metal fans a template of the brand of molten lava the band would later weld into perfection. The formula for which the group would eventually become famous--songs based around three crunching power chords and the high-pitched squeal of a man who sounds like he's just been unleashed from the reformatory--is firmly established here. All tracks have been digitally remastered. AC/DC: Bon Scott (voclas); Malcolm Young, Angus Young (guitar); Mark Evans (bass); Phil Rudd (drums). Q (10/94, p. 134) - 3 Stars - Good - "... a stripped-down intimacy that suits no-frills rockers..." Uncut (9/03, p. 123) - 4 stars out of 5 - "... A pleasure, as always..." ...See Full Description

| amazing cd this is a great cd,tnt was an instant classic in my book,this cd was a little short but I had to give it a five because bon scotts vocals make up for it! By sean (kcmo) This review is for a different format. |
| It is a long way to the top! The album High Voltage is AC/DC's first album, that was a mix with High Voltage and TNT. The songs are good, but they nearly sound the same. TNT, I think is AC/DC's most eletric and baddest song in the album, good job. While the Jack is sleazy song with a nice riff coming from Angus. Can I Sit Next To You Girl is raw and funny, including the long Little Lover. We got songs from It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N Roll) to High Voltage, the song that has rock mix with punk rock. The album is good.

| First Album Really Rocks AC/DC's first album is a real winner. With such hits as the title track,It's A Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock N Roll,The Jack,Live Wire,T.N.T. Plus with songs like Rock N Roll Singer and She's Got Balls,you can't lose if you pick this one up. . By Joel (Miami Fla.) This review is for a different format. |

| Indispensable... Este disco, simplemente es indispensable al igual que el TNT australiano, si te gusta AC/DC y no tienes esos dos... no digas que conoces a AC/DC. Desde el primero ya te sacudia todos los cimientos. By rogerriffin (Mèxico DF.)  This review is for a different format. |
