Editorial Review: Album Description: AC/DC's 1981 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic. Amazon.com: 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. Two tracks--"Love at First Feel" and "Squealer"--are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. "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. On Dirty Deeds, however, AC/DC try too hard. 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. --Andrew Mueller Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - American release duds the listener...7/10I used to own this title on cassette, years ago. The other week I bought a new cd for $10 and after listening to it, I was wondering why it didn't seem the great album I remembered it being. Having just looked up this album on Wikipedia, I now know the reason...one of the all time great AC/DC songs, "Jailbreak" is NOT on the US version of this album that I have. If those interfering American suits hadn't meddled with the track listing, and the cover art, this would be up there with the best albums by the band. Anyway, without "Jailbreak" it's still a pretty solid, if now unspectacular album. It comes with a little booklet which includes the nice, original cartoon artwork for the cover of the album and some notes ... Read More: Rating:  - AC/DC Still Rules! Yeah!Jammin on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. (Goes Good with Ice Cold Beer) Thanx Pepsi and Amazon, for bringing back so many good rockin memories (You wouldn't believe how many dumpsters I pick through looking for points, hope I don't get hepatitus or something like that, but a cat has to do what they gotta do, Yeah!) The 70's when rock was rock. Gonna get High Voltage next. Would be nice if you had the rest of the bands Killer albums. I've ordered quite a few of your items, you guys are quick and everything I've gotten so far is really nice stuff. Thanx Rating: - AC/DC RocksThanks to Amazon for making these albums available at a great price. Quickly shipped and high quality! Rating: - AC/DC's bestI grew up occasionally listening to AC/DC, always in the background from friends playing it at school or in a car. It never stood out to me. Now at 41 I rediscovered this old band and like it a lot. I especially like listening to it while weight lifting. "Back in Black" and "Dirty Deeds" are both raw and raunchy (like the classic Mississippi Delta Blues these guys probably grew up listening to), but after listening to both several times I find that song for song, "Dirty Deeds" is better than "Back in Black". Both have AC/DC's signature sound and are milestones of the hard rock genre, but I just don't get tired of listening to "Dirty Deeds" which I can't say about "Back in Black". In rediscovering this band, I was a little surprised to later ... Read More: Rating: - Bon and the Boys Ride OnA fantastic piece of dirty, barroom rock n' roll, served up by the masters, AC/DC. This album has a lot of great tracks, from the title track, a tale of murder for hire, to the energetic "Rocker," to the albums real highlight, "Ride On," where the band emotionally plays some slowed down blues rock. A classic set of rock n' roll! |
