This album is caught between a rock and a hard place. Historically it sits between Let There Be Rock and Highway To Hell. arguably the two best albums of the Bon Scott era. It is not a bad album and is typical AC/DC in terms of musical style and content.  Unfortunately it is not as good as its predecessor or its successor. The album gets off to a good start with Rock N Roll Damnation. We then have Gimme A Bullet, Down Payment Blues and Gone Shootin. None of these are bad tracks they just aren't that memorable. Down Payment Blues is a song about people who are struggling in life and is very relevant in today's climate.

We then have another classic with Riff Raff. This isn't a song about a character from Rocky Horror. The rest of the album kind of merges into one and none of the tracks are particularly memorable.

Recommended track:- Rock N Roll Damnation
