AC/DC - Back in Black Cassette (No Case) You Shook Me All Night Long

Description: Back in Black is the seventh studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC. Produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, the album was released on 25 July 1980 by Albert Productions and Atlantic Records. By the late 1970s, AC/DC began to achieve significant popularity outside their native Australia, with high-energy live performances and a string of successful albums. In 1979, they paired with producer Lange and recorded their international breakthrough, Highway to Hell. Shortly before the recording of their follow-up, lead vocalist Bon Scott died after a night of heavy alcohol consumption. The group continued with ex-Geordie singer Brian Johnson. Back in Black was recorded over seven weeks in the Bahamas in spring 1980. The area was hit by tropical storms at the time, making the sessions difficult at times. Johnson penned the album's lyrics and melodies, while guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young composed the music. Its musical content consists of hard rock-styled numbers with lyrics relating to sex, alcohol, partying and rock and roll. Lange demanded perfection in the band's recordings, particularly on Johnson's vocals. Following its completion, the group mixed Back in Black at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The album's all-black cover was designed as a "sign of mourning" for Scott. Their sixth international release, Back in Black was an unprecedented success: it has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide. Its enormous sales figures have made it the second-highest-selling album in history. The band supported the album with a yearlong world tour, cementing them among the most popular music acts of the early 1980s. Back in Black received positive critical reception at the time of its release, and it has since been included on numerous lists of "greatest" albums. Worldwide, Back in Black is the second best-selling album of all time, behind only Michael Jackson's Thriller. Back in Black was very successful around the world, and despite never reaching no. 1 on the US Billboard 200, it received the 22× multi-platinum distinction, denoting 22 million albums sold.

Everything seems to perfectly come together on this album and it was the definitive breakthrough for the band becoming one of the greatest rock bands in the world. Although I think Bon Scott is the better singer and more standing out as a frontman than Brian Jones, Back In Black is my all time favourite AC/DC album. There isn't a single weak spot on this album. Every song is either great or fantastic and songs like Back In Black, Hells Bells and You Shook Me All Night Long still remain hard rock classics till this very day. The time in which in this album was written and recorded was, of course, a turbulent and emotional period for all the memebers of the band. Everything that happened that period made an enormous impact in them and you can see that being reflected in the lyrics on this album. The lyrics have more depth compared to their previous albums. And it's that intens emotion that comes through in some of the songs on this album which, for me, give Back In Black it's legendary status as one of hard rock's defining albums.
