Well I care how Brian Johnson sounds. But given his few recent public
performances I don't think he will sound anything else than fine. And
I care about the production. Soundwise something like BIB (still the
benchmark for any hardrock-album) would be great. A good AC/DC-album
is also depending on it's sound. Albums like FOTW, BUYV or TRE could
be so much better if they sounded like BIB, HTH, Powerage or even SUL.
But a good sound still does not make a great album (see BB and SUL).
The most im****tant thing is, that they put some effort into writing
and arranging the songs (they had 8 years for that). SUL showed that
Young & Young can still pull out riffs, that few other bands can
match. But if those riffs are not put into songs with proper
arrangements, then they are not worth much. And I hope Brian has
written the lyrics, because on SUL they were a real pain in the ass.
Yeah, Black Ice can be the title of either a great or a bad song, only
time will tell. I don't like the title itself that much. It kinda
remeinds me of 80's hair metal as.
