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reissue of 1990 album packaged in a digipak with 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia, and liner notes.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

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."

2 stars Give them credit...
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.

2 stars Contains the two worst songs AC/DC ever recorder
This is my least favorite (although ok) AC/DC album, the only problem is that the two songs 'Thunderstruck' and 'Moneytalks' are the two absolute worst songs ever recorded by this great band. I simply can't standing listening to them. For some strange reason these two songs are often heard on the radio, and seem to be pretty popular, which I'll never understand why.

5 stars Great "Motivational" Album
I bought this cd just before we left for the Persian Gulf back in '90. Thunderstruck, Fire Your Guns, and The Razor's Edge fit the Missouri PERFECTLY. This cd would be blaring EVERYTIME we went to battlestations from our berthing compartment. What more could you ask for?
