Uh. Aside from it being massively, massively overplayed on the radio, constantly, day and night, until I can no longer listen to "Shoot to Thrill" without instantly turning the station, Back In Black is overrated as all hell. It was cool for a while, and the songs are definitely well written, but it has none of the attitude or rawness that made AC/DC awesome. It just sounds like a slick, stadium rock imitation of AC/DC. Not to mention, Brian Johnson may be a better singer than Bon Scott, but he has no personality of his own, only volume.
