Great CD,love the music, love the band, hate their bad attitude with I tunes. I understand they have problems with the music industry but why punish the fans?

This rating for this CD is within the context of comparing it to Back in Black, possibly the greatest hard rock album of all time. Let's face it, AC/DC set a standard so high with that album that even they haven't been able to match it since. Thunderstruck is by far the best song on Razors Edge--a great song, too--as good as most of the songs on Back in Black. And the title song, Razors Edge, is pretty good. But the rest, ehh--they don't quite cut it for me. I must say that when a band hones on one specific sound in one specific type of music with almost no variation in those areas (which I commend them for), the world's greatest songwriter will struggle with coming up with ALL KILLER SONGS on a dozen or so albums over the space of 20-25 years. AC/DC were truly inspired and full of magic when they wrote and recorded the Highway to Hell and Back in Black albums, but I think time has proven that those two efforts were their peak. I think it's great that they're still doing it, sticking to their guns music-wise and everything, but if you're expecting their more contemporary releases to rival Back In Black, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, including Razors Edge, unless you're not quite as picky as I am, which I admit I am....

Why do I say that this album is a return to form for the band? Well, as a child I had bought a few of their albums and always found at least two songs that I considered 'classics' as well as 'discovering' other songs on those albums which were good or fun or had some sort of appeal. Those albums would be "T.N.T" (which I bought new in Australia recently, after hearing that it was no longer being made...having been replaced by the US version of it, "High voltage", which had minor track variations), "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" (I mean the original Australian release, not the US version, which, for some reason, omitted one of their all time great songs, "Jailbreak". Go figure) and, of course, "Back in black", which is my pick as the greatest album of all time in the pop/rock field.
After these classic albums, AC/DC seemed to go downhill...releasing albums which you would consider yourself lucky to hear one great song, and unlucky if no song was great. Those kind of albums would include "Flick of the switch" and "Fly on the wall". In other words, those albums didn't have a song which you might want to include in any proposed compilation album by the band...or, if you did, you might change your mind years later, thinking that the song didn't have the legs that you thought it did.
So, despite knowing that this album had two songs that I really liked on it, I finally took the plunge years later and bought it...probably due to the discounting ... Read More

I bought this album for Moneytalks and Thunderstruck. Usually on AC/DC albums, I buy the CD for one or two songs and warm to the other songs over time -- eventually learning to love the whole album. I've had it for several months now, and just can't get into the rest of the songs. They all sound the same and most are in the same key. I know AC/DC thrives on using the same sound, but they usually make it a little more interesting than this. About half of the songs lack the hooks and power chords they're famous for. Fantastic album if you're not looking for anything earth shattering aside from the aforementioned songs. Of course, that's just my opinion.
