AC/DC's fourth album is the lull after the triumph of Let There Be Rock and before the mighty peaks of If You Want Blood You've Got It and Highway to Hell. Powerage contains all the familiar AC/DC trademarks: Bon Scott's rather less than Yeatsian lyrical vision ("Rock & Roll Damnation," "Up to My Neck in You"), Angus Young's brilliantly minimal guitar playing, a rhythm section as relentless and efficient as an infantry regiment, and the astute production of former Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young; however, it lacks a truly transcendent moment, a "Whole Lotta Rosie" or a "T.N.T." Of course, even an average AC/DC album is an eloquent lesson in the fundamentals of rock & roll, and by that token Powerage still blows most opposition out of the water. Bon Scott's exultant declaration of working-class solidarity, "Riff Raff," is worth six Bon Jovi albums on its own. --Andrew Mueller

 Their most overlooked album November 9, 2008
D. Watson (Australia)
I think even Malcolm Young said it, that this was their most forgotten album. It`s definately one of their best. It`s as good as Let there be Rock and sounds just like it. After the brilliant Let there be rock album you`d think that no way they could top that but they did with this album. Everything let there be rock has, this album has it too. A rare song appeared around this time too. A song called "Cold Hearted Man' which appeared briefly on the b-side of the single Rock`n`roll Damnation. It could have only been released in Australia too. This album should have been the album that broke AC/DC into the American charts like what highway to hell did a year after, but some stupid people at their American label, Atlantic, weren`t confident enough in the band, and even more laughable is that their American label didn`t like Bon`s vocals, they even wanted the band to get another singer way back in 1976. How wrong these American people from Atlantic were. Hopefully they got the sack after highway to hell went gold in the U.S in 1979. it just goes to show that the fans know more about music and what people like than some business people in suits and ties. Down Payment Blues is my favorite song on the album, it`s a great rockin` tune and not a very well known AC/DC song
STRONG!! October 31, 2008
Metal Man Walking (Washington, DC)
Outside of Back in Black and the new Black Ice, this is as good as it gets if you are a AC/DC fan.
The Best October 21, 2008
S. Dekleine (New Jersey)
I consider this album my favorite AC/DC album! I just gave this to my nephew for his birthday because he wanted to hear some different AC/DC.
Classic AC/DC that rowks! October 13, 2008
Aaron Faletto (Renton, WA)
Lots has been written about this album, and it's all true. This is 100% pure rock and roll, crunchy guitars, screamy lyrics and all. If you are looking for ballads or fill-heavy drumming, look elsewhere; this album is all about Angus. Some nice work by Bon Scott, too. If you were too young to have experienced this album firsthand (like me), one listen and you'll know what all the fuss was about.
AC/DC delivers an exhilarating jolt of music September 12, 2008
king beagley (warsaw, in usa)
AC/DC is known for their simplistic music, but they really know how to rock and roll. on this release there are 3 standout tracks:
1. Rock And Roll Damnation- which is on their live album "If You Want Blood, You Got It" as well
2. Riff Raff-ditto
3. Gone Shootin'-which is featured on the movie soundtrack for "Beavis and Butt-head Do America"
the rest of this album is worth a listen too.
Bon Scott R.I.P.
