Powerage

AC/DC

The connoisseur's AC/DC record. A gritty, blues-soaked masterpiece of working-class frustration, dry analog production, and the band's most nuanced songwriting.

This is the one AC/DC album that even the people who hate AC/DC actually respect.

A gritty, blues-infused defiance that finds dignity in the struggle of the everyday grind.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The slow, agonizing build of the opening guitar chords on Down Payment Blues that feels like a heavy hangover.
The frantic, high-speed chromatic riffing that kicks off Riff Raff with pure adrenaline.
The way the rhythm section locks into a hypnotic, swinging groove on the outro of Gone Shootin'.
