Though unabashed in its misogyny—”Let Me Put My Love Into You” would be nicer if it were a request rather than a command while “Given the Dog a Bone” breaks the rules of chivalry and grammar—this testosterone filled romp’s passion for bangin’ is less focused on hips than heads. Produced by reclusive genius Robert “Mutt” Lange (now better known as Mr. Shania Twain), “You Shook Me All Night Long” and “Hells Bells” are arena anthems of uncorrupted hookiness and sonic quality. Angus Young’s guitar riffs are instantly memorable while Brian Johnson, in his rookie campaign replacing the late Bon Scott, sings as if he’s being tortured—and thoroughly enjoying it.
