AC/DC - Power Up (2020)

AC/DC, for most intents and purposes, fell apart after the release of Rock or Bust in 2014, so it’s a relief to hear Power Up and discover that AC/DC still sound like AC/DC: thick, powerhouse chords and rhythms battle and groove with Brian Johnson, who shrieks for pleasure, not attention. That sense of relief never dissipates as Power Up offers song after song that firmly hit their target, adding up to an album that delivers reliable thrills. Considering how AC/DC have rarely strayed from the blueprints they scribbled back in the days of Bon Scott, this may not seem to be a newsworthy event, but considering how the group got mired in a spell of bad fortune in the mid-2010s, this amounts to a minor miracle. On top of dealing with the absence of founding guitarist Malcolm Young — he retired in 2014 after being diagnosed with dementia — drummer Phil Rudd was entangled in a legal mess around the time Rock or Bust hit the stores, Johnson experienced a debilitating hearing loss that forced him to leave the album’s supporting tour, and bassist Cliff Williams left the group once the shows wrapped up in 2016, leaving guitarist Angus Young the lone remaining member. Angus started sorting through the backlog of songs he’d started with his brother Malcolm in 2017, not long before his sibling succumbed to dementia. ― Allmusic
