Brian Johnson sings almost wistfully on the stand-out "Anything Goes" over Angus's staccato picking (reminiscent of the "Highway to Hell" intro). Like all their recent outings, BLACK ICE was recorded at the Warehouse in Vancouver by alt-rock super-producer Brendan O'Brien whose no-frills, turn-it-up-and-get-out-of-the-way production approach suits the material perfectly.

ReviewsRanked #41 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "With muscular production and unexpected rhythm change-ups.", "The Aussie outfit's first album in eight years kicks off with the single 'Rock N Roll Train,' a meaty, medium-paced riff assault with a terrific, growling performance from singer Brian Johnson...", 3 Stars Out of 5 -- "'anything Goes' and 'big Jack' Rev Up like Fast Machines with Clean Motors.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's an urgent, raw, committed and unreconstructed work....A real return to form....Vital and vitalising.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "AC/DC still sound strong and hungry 35 years on, as if they could pulverize riffs in perpetuity.", Ranked #17 in Kerrang's Best Albums Of The Year 2008 -- "The song remains the same, but when it's as good as the one AC/DC have written, it still sounds brand, spanking new.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The best stuff nearly lives up to their career peaks, especially 'Rock N Roll Train,' where the brothers Young toss fat, slashing chords at each other like knife jugglers.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Spoilin' For A Fight' is the kind of hugely infectious fist-clenching, fringe-whipping chant-along at which they've always excelled, while 'She Likes Rock'n'Roll is equally sure-footed...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "On 'Black Ice' itself, O'Brien marshals a sort of militarised hysteria, built around Malcolm Young's dogged tracking of the rhythm section.", Ranked #48 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums of 2008in- "An Exemplary Splurge of Monolithic Riffage."
