This isn't their best Album but it still has some good songs on it. This was recorded in 1983 and is the third album featuring Brian Johnson as lead singer.The album includes some great songs like "01. Risings Power" "03. Flick of the Switch" "06.Guns for Hire" and "08. Bedlam in Belgium". No rock classics here but its still a good rock album from AC/DC. Although its not my favourite AC/DC albums by far but it has good songs on it as menitioned before. This album is good for any AC/DC fan although its not AC/DC at their best. It has a good inlay booklet with lots of information as always with the remastered CDs. Compared to other rock albums this is good album but compare it to other AC/DC albums its poor, but still worth the money.
Advantages: It's AC/DC Disadvantages: It's possibly their worst album
After some massive hits in the late seventiesand early eighties,notably Highway to Hell and Back in Black, AC/DC entered a huge slump in the mid eighties.
It's really no surprise that hair metal took over from hard rock as the predominant form of rock music, if all hard rock could produce is this.
The title track is probably the best track on here, revealing glimpses of AC/DC's potential, and giving hope to the album. Unfortunately they fail to live up to the billing.
Despite this, I still love AC/DC. I would however, maybe give this one a miss, especially if you are just getting into them. I'd go for the aforementioned Highway to Hell, Back in Black, or maybe even 'High Voltage'.
Only the really hardcore fans could call this album a success. ...

Album Notes
This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser. AC/DC: Brian Johnson (vocals); Angus Young, Malcolm Young (guitar); Cliff Williams (bass); Phil Rudd (drums). Recorded at Compass Point Studios, Nassau, Bahamas. Originally released on Atlantic (80100). Includes liner notes by Brad Tolinski. Detractors have long called minimalist bands such as AC/DC, Bad Company and ZZ Top formulaic. By paring rock down to its most basic elements, these bands forged a musical terrain where anything less than mastery over the form would reveal gaping holes in the structure. Remember that there are no keyboards filling up space, or creating diversions on an AC/DC record. The point is, AC/DC's approach may not have varied an inch over the years and it may very well be a formula. It is also a highly effective one. FLICK OF THE SWITCH carries the spirit of the band's hard rock crunch with capable aplomb. Massive guitar riffs that could capsize a medium size boat, a stomping 4/4-rhythm section and Brian Johnson screeching like a banshee on the warpath. The album's highlights are the mid-tempo "Rising Power," and the bruising title track. When Johnson screams "With a flick of the switch she'll blow you sky high" on the latter, AC/DC proves itself still capable of explosive outbursts.
