Well after owning the big three by AC/DC in "Back In Black" , "Highway To Hell" and "If You Want Blood" the next one i got was "Dirty Deeds" and man that was a disappointment for me. I knew from the live "If You Want Blood" that they had some amazing songs from the seventies but as an album it paled to the three i just mentioned. One day while driving around with the music cranked i spotted an old buddy and pulled over. He wanted to check out my cassettes and asked if we could swap some music for a couple of weeks. I wasn't too into it but obliged and this was one of the ones he lent me. Yes i was impressed even though it's a definite step down from the big three. At least it's melodic with those usual riffs and Bonn's great sounding vocals. Actually listening to this this morning it reminded me of seeing them in Toronto at Sars Stock where they played a lot of the seventies stuff. As i looked around almost everyone looked like a bobble-head doll with their heads bobbing up and down. Anyway this needs to be played loud and the fact my ears were ringing as i got out of my vehicle to go into work this morning testifies to that. "Riff Raff" is my favourite track but i get something out them all. This would be British bassist Cliff Williams first album with the band. A low 4 stars but i'd feel wrong giving this 3.5 stars.
