Powerage

★全球两亿销量神级摇滚天团，1978年第五张录音室专辑

★收录"Rock `n` Roll Damnation"等精彩摇滚单曲

全球总销售突破两亿天量，佔据「美国销售最佳的百大艺人」第10席，也是百大名单中唯一来自澳洲团队，并且成为滚石杂志「史上百大最佳艺人」第72名、VH1频道「百大硬式摇滚经典艺人」殿军、MTV台「史上最佳重金属乐团」第七位、Kerrang!杂志称誉「音乐史上最重要也最具影响力的摇滚乐团之一」，入籍美国「摇滚名人殿堂」、澳洲「唱片工业协会名人殿堂」的终身会员。将Rock `N Roll、Hard Rock艺术推向高峰的AC/DC，扎实饱满的编曲铺陈，以及核心人物Angus Young独特服装造型、夸张舞台表演、神乎其技的吉他演奏，都是令乐迷所津津乐道。引导出飙悍声调的原主唱Bon Scott，因酒精过量而暴毙，享年仅33岁，换上嗓言相似的Brian Johnson推出膜拜圣经《Back In Black》，同时进入滚石杂志「80年代百大经典专辑」和「史上五百张经典专辑」行列。

Powerage was a first in the sense that it debuted bassist Cliff Williams, but it really is more of a final curtain to the band's early years. It would be the last produced by Vanda & Young, the legendary Australian production team who also helmed hits by the Easybeats, and it was the last before AC/DC became superstars. As such, it's perhaps the most overlooked of their '70s records, also because, frankly, it is the most uneven of them. Not that it's a bad record -- far from it, actually. There are a few genuine classics here, most notably "Down Payment Blues" and "Up to My Neck in You," and there's a real appeal in how Bon Scott's gutter poems of excess are reaching a mythic level; there's a real sense that he truly does believe that rock & roll leads straight to hell on "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation." But overall, the record is just a bit too wobbly, one where the parts don't add up to a record as hard and addictive as before -- but there's still plenty worth hearing here. 

1978年年中，AC⚡️DC还不是如今的热门乐队。同年春天，Powerage成了乐队前5张唱片中首张没能在故乡澳大利亚打入二十强的专辑（Keith Richards之后却将它视为乐队最出色的作品）。在美国，它是第3张没能进入百强的唱片。乐队担心自己的事业已开始走下坡路。……无法发行的60张唱片
