Album of the Weekend

AC/DC-Stiff Upper Lip

With AC/DC, you know what you are going to get. I compare AC/DC to putting on your favorite band shirt after each laundry cycle. You don't wear it every day because it would get weird and boring-you don't want to be like that lady on Seinfeld, after all-but you eventually know you'll come back to it. 

You come back to it because you like it and it's good. They do what they do very well. AC/DC won't try to do "Music from the Elder" or that album which must not be named that Metallica and Lou Reed collaborated on (saying the name of it removes any chance of eternal salvation). 

Stiff Upper Lip is one of their better albums with more memorable songs, such as "Safe in New York City", "Can't Stop Rock and Roll", "Hold me Back" and "Stiff Upper Lip". Most people only think of the early stuff with AC/DC and they should think of it-that's some great stuff right there-but if you like AC/DC, this album is definitely one of their best.
