Album Description

Powerage est le 5e album d'AC/DC sorti en 1978.

Cet album est assez spécial, si l'on se réfère à la discographie d'AC/DC. Il fut enregistré assez rapidement, et certains titres furent directement composés en studio.

La performance d'Angus Young sur le solo de Riff Raff fut soulignée par de nombreux fans.
C'est le premier album du groupe avec le bassiste Cliff Williams. C'est le dernier album studio du groupe avec Bon Scott à être produit par Harry Vanda et George Young.

Powerage est le premier album d'AC/DC à avoir eu la même image de couverture en Australie et en Europe. Il y eut cependant plusieurs différences entre les contenus des deux éditions.
Seule la version australienne fut éditée en CD et cette version est désormais la seule version de l'album à être commercialisée.
L'album a été remasterisé en 2003 comme la quasi-totalité des albums d'AC/DC.

User Album Review
Powerage was a first in the sense that it debuted bassist Cliff Williams, but it really is more of a final curtain to the band's early years. It would be the last produced by Vanda & Young, the legendary Australian production team who also helmed hits by the Easybeats, and it was the last before AC/DC became superstars. As such, it's perhaps the most overlooked of their '70s records, also because, frankly, it is the most uneven of them. Not that it's a bad record -- far from it, actually. There are a few genuine classics here, most notably "Down Payment Blues" and "Up to My Neck in You," and there's a real appeal in how Bon Scott's gutter poems of excess are reaching a mythic level; there's a real sense that he truly does believe that rock & roll leads straight to hell on "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation." But overall, the record is just a bit too wobbly, one where the parts don't add up to a record as hard and addictive as before -- but there's still plenty worth hearing here.
