Album Description
Available in:
Ballbreaker è il dodicesimo album in studio degli AC/DC, pubblicato nel 1995.
I tre singoli che vennero estratti da quest'album sono Hard as a Rock, Cover You in Oil e Hail Caesar. Ballbreaker è il primo disco della band dopo 5 anni, e vede l'avvicendamento tra Chris Slade e Phil Rudd alla batteria, che torna dopo i seri diverbi avuti con Malcolm Young nel 1983. Venne prodotto da Rick Rubin, con il quale la band si trovò piuttosto male.
L'album raggiunse la prima posizione in Svizzera, Svezia, Finlandia ed Australia, la seconda in Austria e Nuova Zelanda, la quarta in Norvegia e nella Billboard 200 e la sesta nella UK Albums Chart.
Ritorna dopo 12 anni nella formazione come batterista Phil Rudd, che nel frattempo si era dedicato agli elicotteri.
La copertina e il libretto all'interno del cd sono disegnati in stile comics dalla Marvel.
User Album Review
In over 20 years, AC/DC never changed their minimalist, bone-crunching hard rock. During their first ten years, that wasn't a problem, since they were still finding ways to expand and subvert the pattern, but ever since For Those About to Rock, they had trouble coming up with consistent material. Consequently, their performances tended to be a little lazy and their records didn't deliver a reliable knockout punch. Released in 1990, The Razor's Edge showed some signs of life, and their comeback culminated in the Rick Rubin-produced Ballbreaker. What makes Ballbreaker different than the albums AC/DC churned out during the '80s is simple -- it's a matter of focus. Although "Hard as a Rock" comes close, there aren't any songs as immediately memorable as any of their '70s classics, or even "Moneytalks." However, unlike any record since Back in Black, there are no bad songs on the album. Surprisingly, Rubin's production is a bit too dry, lacking the muscle needed to make the riffs sound truly earthshaking. Nevertheless, Angus Young's riffs are powerful and catchy, showcasing every element that makes him one of hard rock and heavy metal's greatest guitarists. Throughout the album, the band sounds committed and professional, making Ballbreaker the best late-period AC/DC album to date.
