There was an unexpected sense of drama around this new AC/DC album, amid a season of change. But even without Malcolm Young, everything else falls quickly into place. These guys, no matter what, remain the masters of the single entendre, rifftastic track. Brian Johnson whined with that familiar, pained gusto -- while Cliff Williams, replacement Stevie Young and the subsequently arrested Phil Rudd set these gas pedal-mashing grooves. As ever, it all worked in service to Angus Youngs kinetic outbursts -- always so fitting, considering his school-boy outfit, and perhaps never more needed. AC/DC was due for some good news, and in my opinion Rock or Bust, the best album of 2014, provided it. - Archer
