While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon Scott's standards. Two tracks--"Love at First Feel" and "Squealer"--are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. "Big Balls," ostensibly a narrative from the perspective of an aristocrat socialite, is actually a somewhat labored excuse for the band to chant "We've got big balls." This juvenile posturing was, to a large degree, AC/DC winding up their burgeoning foreign audience by playing to stereotypical expectations of Australians. On Dirty Deeds , however, AC/DC try too hard. Only on "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round to Be a Millionaire)" is Scott's laconic wit deployed to real effect: the sheer glee in the line "Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport!" is almost worth the album's purchase price. --Andrew Mueller .

Very contemporary classic rock!
There are very few bands in the 'classic rock' genrer whose music sounds as contemporary today as it did when it was originally released. Led Zeppelin is one of them, for example. They somehow found a formula that not only worked extremely well for them back in the day, but fans still talk about their music today and probably will for many years to come. Well, I think AC/DC is another one of those bands, and this album is a perfect example of that. I mean, most people talk about the 'Back In Black' album even if they have never heard anything else the band has done. But, as far as the overall sound of the album, I believe I could put this one right alongside any of their other albums as one an AC/DC virgin should listen to. Along with the title track, which is one of their classic hits ( which they still do in their concerts to this day), I believe songs like 'Problem Child' and 'Big Balls' could easily have been placed on the 'Back In Black' album without detracting from it at all. Same type of double-entendre lyrics, same awesome riffs and lead guitar by Malcolm and Angus Young , same awesome Brian Johnson vocals, same amazing rhythm section, great mixing and 'in your face' recording,...Same thing all around. Yep, AC/DC has truly found a formula that works as well for them today as it has for over forty years, and fans will be talking about these albums for decades to come. You won't regret buying this album! My personal recommendation: One must ALWAYS!! play AC/DC loud!

Good Music
AC/DC stormed on the U.S. music scene with Highway to Hell. They toured the country opening for other guitar bands like Kiss. When we found out that AC/DC already had several albums previously released in Australia, well, we were just thrilled. This was one of those albums. All of these songs are excellent songs with catchy rhythm tracks. The lyrics are attractive to the testosterone laden teenage boy: the title track, Big Balls, Rocker, etc... The chorus of Problem Child was one of the anthems of my teenage years. What I like most about this band and this CD is Malcolm. He lays down some cool sounding rhythms that are fun and relatively easy to play. I got the tablature from the internet and worked my way through all of these songs. Friday afternoon I like to put this in my CD player and crank up my Seymour Duncans and play along.
