Includes bonus disc featuring live performances and 3 videos. With STIFF UPPER LIP, AC/DC continued down the same road of consistency driven by Angus Young's workmanlike riffing and Brian Johnson's raspy yowl. As it had done for the two ... Full Descriptiondecades leading up to this release, the Australian quintet ignored outside musical trends. AC/DC charts its own straight-and-narrow course with equal parts swagger ("House of Jazz"), grinding defiance ("Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll"), and smoldering menace ("Meltdown").
As is the band's wont, AC/DC seasons the set with a handful of tried-and-true hard-rock anthems, including the call-and-response "Satellite Blues" and the crackling tomcat-anthem title track. Not surprisingly, quite a bit of sexual innuendo bubbles up throughout STIFF UPPER LIP, particularly on "Come and Get It" and "Give It Up." Ever the rock & roll traditionalists, AC/DC even includes an indictment of all things politically correct, "Damned."
Live Recording
Recorded at The Warehouse Studio, Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada.
AC/DC: Brian Johnson (vocals); Angus Young, Malcolm Young (guitar); Cliff Williams (bass); Phil Rudd (drums).
Rolling Stone (3/30/00, p.65) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[It] is everything we've come to expect from the band and absolutely nothing more. A wonderfully juvenile set of leering rawk....old-school all the way; this is the classic BACK IN BLACK lineup bashing out minimalist arena rock..."
Q (1/01, p.90) - Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000".
Q (5/00, p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Skullbusting riffs behind a cloth-capped...screecher....It's business as usual, but what a mighty business it is."
CMJ (3/20/00, p.34) - "...keeps up with the blues rock tradition on which [they've] built [their] massive reputation. For those about to rock, Brian Johnson, the Young Brothers, and Cliff and Phil salute you once again..."
Melody Maker (3/21/00, p.47) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The song remains the same....You know the tunes will be basic, bashed out with a shinbone in the midst of a terrifying boozing session, and the vocals are sure to screech an endearing mixture of bravdo and innuendo....Listen and worship..."
Mojo (Publisher) (4/00, p.91) - "...AC/DC are back in business; and business...is good....The overall impression is of a band deconstructing its music to its basic elements...and having a lot of fun putting it all back together."
NME (Magazine) (2/26/00, p.37) - 9 out of 10 - "...AC/DC are the greatest....The 'DC are elemental...[They] bring the rock. All you really need to know is that STIFF UPPER LIP is more of that good 'ol 'DC stuff....[The album] would be a 10 out of 10 if it had cannons on it..."

Stiff Upper Lip album
$9.25 
Initial pressings of DOWN TO EARTH will include regular audio tracks as well as multimedia computer files. The Enhanced portion includes live perfomance footage of Ozzy Osbourne performing with Randy Rhodes.
Six years of waiting for a new album had impatient Ozzy fans biting the heads off of live animals, but DOWN TO EARTH finally arrived. Whereas OZZMOSIS may have harkened back to Ozzy's early days of Black Sabbath, EARTH is unmistakably solo Ozzy. First single "Gets Me Through" is a radio-friendly thank you to his fans in which he exclaims "I'm not the anti-Christ or the iron man." The piano intro is reminiscent of "No More Tears." Piano is also featured in "Dreamer" and "Running Out Of Time," two of The Ozzman's most well crafted ballads. Ozzy maturing? Yes, but in a GOOD way.
Things get heavier on "No Easy Way Out," featuring the driven guitar wizardry of longtime collaborator Zakk Wylde. Joe Holmes, Ozzy's road guitarist of recent years lends his writing talents to "That I Never Had" and "Junkie" (a midtempo rocker telling the tale of a desperate addict). "You Know (Part 1)" is a wonderful acoustic cut about Ozzy's fatherhood role. Anchored by the fantastic rhythm section ...

Stiff Upper Lip CD music
$9.25 
Let us all be thankful that Ozzy's retirement didn't stick. It supposedly lasted for three days, after which he got bored and started working on this project. Heavy, riff-intensive tunes, progressive song structures and a little psychedelia give OZZMOSIS a definite Sabbath flavor. Ozzy must have been in touch with whatever inspired early classics like PARANOID and MASTERS OF REALITY. Witness the extremely chunky "Thunder Underground," which can stand up next to "Sweet Leaf" and "Symptom Of The Universe" as an archetype of hard rock. The trippy guitar in "Ghost Behind My Eyes" and "Denial" are not some young Ozzy-wannabe going for a retro sound--this man was there, "Planet Caravan"ing.
Still, this heavy metal daddy in touch with his roots is also hip to the genre's latest sound. OZZMOSIS has a live, up-front feeling, thanks to producer Michael Beinhorn (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden). Zakk Wylde's huge, raw guitar also plays a major role. He provides scorching solos, lush textures and juicy fills with a muscular ...
