Don't Be Fooled By The Name

I rated it a 5 star because it is a a real jewel but unfortunately not very well known in Us

Excelente

Great album, however the review is not about music. The pressing is great. The record itself is thick, flat and dead quiet, despite being colored vinyl. The quality of cover and inlay are also great. It is a wonderful addition to my collection.The remastered version does not sound rough or digital and does not kill my ears. However there is a funny artifact in the begging of 2nd song on side 1. The sound of drums is distorted for a couple of seconds, then it goes normally. I don’t know if that’s how it is on a master or the result of the remastering. But it doesn’t bother me at all.

Wow, anyone who thinks Brian Johnson's voice peaked on "Back in Black" should check out this album, where he actually SINGS. Could this man ever sing. It's clear that if BJ had just taken better care of his vocal cords and produced more albums at this level he would rank in the league of Halford, Gillian, Dickinson, and Dio as one of the best hard rock/metal vocalists of all-time (I find him to be anyway, but that is not the general consensus). The range Johnson demonstrates on the incredible cover of "House of the Rising Sun" is nothing short of amazing, ranging from a soft whisper to a splintering howl. Of course, this album wouldn't warrant five stars if the other musicians weren't up to par as well, and they all perform adequately, though none are on the level of the players BJ would later associate with in AC/DC. "Don't Be Fooled" offers up rockers such as "Goin' Down," "So What," and "Got to Know," along with surprisingly good ballads such as "Look At Me," which Johnson sings very well. Overall, this is a great album to get if you like rock 'n' roll music, and a must-have if you're an avid AC/DC fan; it's well-worth the effort I went through trying to find it.

Very good rocking album. No great inovations, but very solid. This British band released three studio albums, all of them very solid and good.The amazing thin when hearing this album is that we can testify the amount of damage that AC/DC has made to Brian Johnson's voice.(of course, AC/DC made him rich, also...).Why am I telling this? Because you'll be astonished, after listening this album, by the difference between his voice at those times and now. In DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE NAME, Johnson can actually sing! And sing in such a great way that one can finally understand why AC/DC recruited him. He sings ballads, up-rockers, slow rockers, everything with quality and ability. The screaming style he adopted with AC/DC fastly deteriorated his voice and also their music did give not room enough for him to explore all his vocals abilities within the band.

this average band was led by guitarrist Vic Malcolm and released three albuns in sucession, between 1974 and 1976. THis one here is the second of them. AC/DC's singer Brian Johnson was their vocalistand I can guarantee you, folks, he was much better than nowadays, when he seems to have lost his voice completely. as for the music, nothing more than average hard rocking, well played but with nothing innovative going on, no big moment.

All original songs are great (the sound is good too). Bonus tracks ain't much! My favs are goin'down, house of the rising sun (best version ever made), but all the others stand out alone too! Sad that the group split up so fast! Inner liner notes and all the wrtings must of course be bigger, if some critics have to be made! I'm satisfied that I have such a jewel and it is much better than their first LP.

Totally uneven album, full of great moments followed by ludicrous moments. Johnson vocals are irregular and often very low relatively to the music.

Husband's Christmas present. He's a very happy chappy.

waited a long time to get this on cd, not disappointed, only down side just 8 tracks, and to solo from brian Johnson. worth the wait, GEORDIE at there best.

Another fantastic very talented Band that wrote great songs, like their gold medal version of House of the Rising Sun. And not to forget the title song Got to Know, what a great song. These guys can sing that is for sure. Just a pity that they, like so many others, split up. Fortunately I have this album.

Classic Brian Johnson
