The 1985 Listening Post - AC/DC - Fly On the Wall

AC/DC - Fly On the Wall


#227/878
June 28 1985
AC/DC
Fly On the Wall
Genre: Rock
2.75 out of 5

Highlights:
Shake Your Foundation

I first listened to this record during an AC/DC immersion. In that context it was a huge disappointment. Now that I’m in the throes of a different immersion, I am having a different reaction. It’s not hate, though. It’s more welcoming of an old friend. 
No, it’s not the AC/DC of Back in Black. But, if you like that kind of mid-tempo, balls to the wall, rhythm guitar driven, massive muscular attack rock, this might suffice. Certainly better than Flick of the Switch, man. But that isn’t saying much. 
And Angus is all over the place here. Just uninspired and sort of doing whatever he wants.
