Lesser bands might have been put off their stride by the death of their lead singer, but not AC/DC. No sooner had Bon Scott met his whiskey-sodden end in 1980 than AC/DC recruited a new singer, Brian Johnson--who sounded almost exactly like Scott--and released, in Back in Black, the biggest-selling album of their career. For Those About to Rock...We Salute You is a suitably triumphant follow-up. The cannon-punctuated title track--the most auspicious marriage of music and artillery since Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture'--still provides a spectacular finale to AC/DC concerts. For Those About to Rock also confirmed that Johnson's lyrical preoccupations were broadly congruent with those of his predecessor: 'Let's Get It Up' and 'Inject the Venom' are as subtle as their titles sound. This is a record Beavis and Butthead would describe as 'cool'--and, as usual, they'd be right. --Andrew Mueller

Rating: - Pretty Dark
Flick Of The Switch, Back In Black, and this one ..."For Those About To Rock" were my first AC/DC albums I was exposed to in the early 80's. Of those 3 this one stands out just as much as Back In Black for me. So many anthems, and it's good to listen to in the fall around Halloween for songs such as "Evil Walks", "Night Of The Long Knives", and "C.O.D". Then of course there are the other rockers/favs in the title track; "Put The Finger On You", "Inject The Venom", and "Let's Get It Up", I even like ... Read More

Rating:  - 2 good songs
Like all overrated AC/DC albums with BJ two good songs. For Those About To Rock & Lets Get It Up...that's it.
Rating: - The skies alight with the guitar bite...
The enormous success of 'Back in Black' demanded a follow up full of equally momentous hard rock anthems, so AC/DC along with Mutt Lange (for one last time) tried to recreate the magic of 'BnB' and released 'For Those About to Rock We Salute You' in November of 1981. It was a letdown but it's still a damn good record. The problem is the songwriting sounds awfully tired. The constant flow of gold for the 'BnB' formula started to dry up....it's like they were trying TOO hard. Brian Johnson is the main ... Read More
Rating:  - for those about to rock... pick up one of their earlier efforts
AC/DC was either really burnt out from the success of Back in Black, surprised by the success, or just used up all their ideas for that album, because this follow-up album is lackluster in comparison.
The title song, with its loud, fierce guitar riff and soaring chorus is about the only worthwhile moment on the entire disc. The rest of the songs point to the rapid downward decrease in songwriting quality the band would find themselves in for the rest of the 80's decade. There's too many ... Read More
