Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.8/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

Rock at it's Best
Classic rock album. Title track absolutely awesome. You Shook Me All Night Long and Hells Bells also great. Brian Johnson's voice is iconic.

4 of their best songs ever Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long. A couple of good deep cuts Have A Drink On Me & Rock N Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution. The rest I consider filler some of it pretty weak. That being said this makes a compelling argument that this is their best album.
Great album full of classics and bangers
AC/DC create some great moments on here that are amongst the best the band has ever created. These include Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Hells Bells and Shoot To Thrill. These songs really carry the album in my opinion with a few more being pretty good but then the rest are average. Shake A Leg and Givin The Dog A Bone comes to mind when thinking of the weaker tracks and with these two specifically I do always contemplate just skipping straight past them when listening to this release. Despite this, the guitar work is consistently fantastic and I can easily see how this release could inspire a generation of future guitarists. Overall, the best songs are incredible but the filler tracks are mediocre making the record balance out at a solid listen.
Este es el álbum que me hizo comprar mi primera guitarra... cada una de las canciones las aprendí a tocar y Angus Young siempre ha sido uno de mis guitarristas favoritos. Si bien las canciones mantienen una estructura muy similar, cada una de ellas está llena de energía, "Back in Black," "Shoot to Thrill" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" son mis favoritas. Hicieron de ésto un gran tributo para Bon Scott, AC/DC se lució con este álbum.
English review
This is the album that made me buy my first guitar... I learned to play every song and Angus Young has always been one of my favorite guitarists. Although the songs maintain a very similar structure, each of them is full of energy, "Back in Black," "Shoot to Thrill" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" are my favorites. They made this a great tribute to Bon Scott, AC/DC shined with this album.
Solid album
One of the best comebacks and in my opinion the best AC/DC album full of hits. There is a lot of killer tracks (Hells Bells, Back In Black, Shoot To Thrill), but I have to say that there is filler too (What Do You Do For Money Honey and Shake A Leg are not good songs) the rest for me is sometimes stupid but fun.
The best hard rock album of the 80?
brian johnson first album with the band is the best the band have ever release along with the australian debut with vocalist bon scott who died just like 3 months prior to this album release
Why would leokats made such derogratory comments about people in a site about music? If it's not your genre then ok but you don't need to effectively claim that anyone who likes this genre or album is of a lower class or intellect to you. Shameful
