Pretty good, it's certainly fun. Have to say, though, I slightly prefer Highway to Hell.

There is no better three-chord rock band out there than AC/DC.

That being said, I do love this album. As a guitarist, this was a majorly influential album on me growing up, I learned maybe all of these riffs.

I will say though, I prefer the majority of Bon Scott AC/DC albums to this one, however I do still love this album.

I like the singles. But i don't like the full album so much.
And the title song is pretty good

This exactly. It's extremely overrated, though.

Decent at best

Not one song screams "FANTASTIC" to me, however, the title track is relatively close.

I don't like AC/DC, but I can see where the energy and charm comes through. It's alright, but it does absolutely nothing for me much like their contemporaries. Oh yeah, their sound completely ruined The Cult in later years when that band decided to become a remarkably bland clone instead of making interesting post-punk music. Sad

I hope you're not referring to mid-80s The Cult (like Love and Electric era) because they were the tits

Electric was indeed when The Cult went full on generic, AC/DC imitation and stopped being interesting. Love was the last record they did that was even relatively decent.
