The Thing is, even though we were partying to all the great songs on this album, that song would make us all stop and think nothing lasts forever. The song was called: Ride On.it's a metaphor that kinda summed up our entire era. SimpleĪnd the funny thing is, the reason I hunted this particular album for years was because of one song. There were no warnings on this, or political faux pas, or worrying about what the miserable future would was just Rock n Roll. We used to crank these songs up and just get wild. Not enough to ruin that good old hard raunchy drive that Bon Scott had the boys of AC/DC belting out back in the day. This is the real deal! And the remastering makes it sound just a bit better. Without it being some bogus 'Tribute band". You won't regret buying this album! My personal recommendation: One must ALWAYS!! play AC/DC loud! Yep, AC/DC has truly found a formula that works as well for them today as it has for over forty years, and fans will be talking about these albums for decades to come. Same type of double-entendre lyrics, same awesome riffs and lead guitar by Malcolm and Angus Young, same awesome Brian Johnson vocals, same amazing rhythm section, great mixing and 'in your face' recording.Same thing all around. Along with the title track, which is one of their classic hits ( which they still do in their concerts to this day), I believe songs like 'Problem Child' and 'Big Balls' could easily have been placed on the 'Back In Black' album without detracting from it at all. But, as far as the overall sound of the album, I believe I could put this one right alongside any of their other albums as one an AC/DC virgin should listen to. I mean, most people talk about the 'Back In Black' album even if they have never heard anything else the band has done. Well, I think AC/DC is another one of those bands, and this album is a perfect example of that. They somehow found a formula that not only worked extremely well for them back in the day, but fans still talk about their music today and probably will for many years to come. Led Zeppelin is one of them, for example. There are very few bands in the 'classic rock' genrer whose music sounds as contemporary today as it did when it was originally released. Only on "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round to Be a Millionaire)" is Scott's laconic wit deployed to real effect: the sheer glee in the line "Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport!" is almost worth the album's purchase price. On Dirty Deeds, however, AC/DC try too hard. "Big Balls," ostensibly a narrative from the perspective of an aristocrat socialite, is actually a somewhat labored excuse for the band to chant "We've got big balls." This juvenile posturing was, to a large degree, AC/DC winding up their burgeoning foreign audience by playing to stereotypical expectations of Australians. Two tracks-"Love at First Feel" and "Squealer"-are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon Scott's standards. DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP returns remastered with a 16 page full color booklet containing many unpublished photos and memorabilia.
