My coleague Andrew "Garbage Day" Miller has just posted up a review of the epic failure that is AC/DC's Black Ice, recently released to the peoples as reviewed early last week on this blog!
Who buys new AC/DC albums these days? It must be people willing to accept slight, diminished variations on the same tired set of songs because they fear change and deny artistic evolution. Also, they like that AC/DC still plays the simplest, dumbest music imaginable, both lyrically and musically -- no challenges, no surprises. So, the band's key consumers are conservative, lazy people looking for something easy, familiar, predictable and stupid. Really, it's a miracle that AC/DC didn't start its partnership with Wal-Mart until its brand new album Black Ice.
Make sure to read this epic "Wal-Mart Field Trip", be warned though, its is very very funny. SA rules.
