Amazon.com essential recording
AC/DC's second U.S. release took the raw energy from their debut, High Voltage, up a notch, producing another huge collection of driving, intense songs for serious headbanging, but adding a bit more professionalism into the equation. The songwriting and production are tighter and more focused, and standouts such as "Whole Lotta Rosie," "Problem Child," "Let There Be Rock," and "Bad Boy Boogie" almost have to fight with "filler" like "Go Down" and "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" for the spotlight; but really, there's not a wasted track here. Guitarists Angus and Malcom Young further define their grooves, and vocalist Bon Scott sounds like he's on the verge of combusting. Let There Be Rock is big and lean. --Lorry Fleming

Terrific album. I haven't heard it played as an album-side since high school. Still one of the best.
Their best produced album November 9, 2008

This is AC/DC`s best produced album. Vander and Young did a suburb job on the dials here. Everything about the sound on this album is brilliant, the guitars are right up front and virtually assault your ears, the drumming and bass are tight as a virgin`s you know what and finally Bon`s vocals are so powerful and loud. It`s not punk but it`s just as, if not more, ferocious as punk but their playing and musicianship is much better than punk. This album, i think, made a bit of a turning point in British music back in 1977. Just as people were getting a bit tired of average playing punk musicians, along came this Australian album which had everything punk had but was more skillfully played than punk. It`s not punk though, it`s heavy rock`n`roll. I`d even class it a heavy metal album but i know AC/DC don`t like being called a metal band even though the majority of their fans are headbangers. Angus Young possibly even invented headbanging. Another good thing about AC/DC which separates them from punk is that AC/DC don`t make political statements, they leave that to boring politians. AC/DC just make you rock and have a good time. Sure there are problems in the world but that doesn`t mean that we can`t enjoy life sometimes. This album, like Dirty Deeds, caused a bit of stink in Australia due to songs like Go Down and Crabsody (which doesn`t appear on this overseas version). I don`t know why Crabsody is not on this release as it`s a classic like Big Balls is. Another song appeared round this time which is also hard to come by, a song called "Carry me Home" which only ended up on the b-side of the Australian released single "Dog Eat Dog." Track it down if you can as it`s a classic song and is about Bon`s drinking habits. I haven`t a favorite song on this album as they are all equally as brilliant as the other.

If you like any of the Bon Scott AC/DC, you need to get this CD. Worth every penny.

B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania)
Wow, this is one powerful rock album. It pack a serious MEAN and NASTY punch. It's raw, straight forward, simple rock and roll with the volume turned WAY up. But wait! That's not all! The band members also give us some highly enjoyable guitar soloing in the title song. This band was truly at their very best in the early days.
Pick it up today and hear how AC/DC used to sound a long time ago when rock and roll was all about innovation and power. Why didn't hard rock bands hold back in the early days? Because it would have been boring to do so. AC/DC knew that's not the direction they wanted to take their music. They didn't want to be the first band to hold back their amazing talent.
When albums this good are released, you just don't know what to DO with yourself. You can't believe the speakers in your home haven't rocked all the way across the living room and into the coffee table, knocking off flowers and coffee cups. A guitar sound SO LOUD it almost cracks the speakers in half and leaves you begging for more, despite the damage you know the guitar playing will cause to your stereo system.
But you know what? We keep coming back to it. We keep coming back to the music and we make it the greatest music we've ever heard in our lives.
