Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Stiff Upper Lip, Ac/dc's 15th studio album, may not reach the heights of Back In Black or Highway To Hell, but it delivers strongly and satisfyingly. It's the record that the highly touted, Rick Rubin-produced Ballbreaker should have been: a simple, addictive, hard album, bursting with bold riffs and bolstered by a crunching, thrillingly visceral sound. Sure, there are absolutely no new ideas, but that's the point. Ac/dc know their strengths and they embrace them.
