This album will have you rocking all night long as it's a album of raw and loud rock and roll with amazing songs.
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2020
This was the very first AC/DC I bought as a kid all the way back in 1983. On the same day, I bought Flick Of The Switch as well, so you can say my introduction to AC/DC had the best of both Bon’s and Brian’s years in the band in full swing.
Let There Be Rock had an aura of evil, and of majesty, it loomed as large and as deadly as mid-70’s KISS, with perhaps just a bit more grit and teeth. These guys practically invented the blueprints for power chords in hard rock, and it’s largely albums like this one that’s responsible for their well earned reputation.
LET THERE BE ROCK, from “Go Down” to “Whole Lotta Rosie”, is just nonstop, rip roaring, grinding 70’s power rock with thickly steeped blues roots that help these classics along their way to becoming timeless and iconic.
I can’t think of a better example than this album when people want the definition of 70’s heavy metal rock. There are no better records than this for all your boogie rock needs.
This is of course the American pressing/version. The original Australian version has a song we didn’t get called “Crabsody In Blue”, which can be found on their box set, “Back Tracks”.
Quintessential album, and should be one of your first picks when first getting into the band. It will definitely remain a favorite, I guarantee you.

It's a 2003 EPIC (Sony) 180 gram remastered, and I give 5 stars. I have the original pressing and it's every bit as good or maybe a touch better. I don't care what Steve Hoffman says, it's a great pressing. From what I gather, if he didn't re-master it, it isn't good. He and all his little sheep followers are a joke at best, agreeing with everything he says. It's fun to read anyways, just google it. I have a good turntable with a really good Line Contact stylus and it makes this 180 gram record sound good! I plan to buy all of these reissues! But, one must remember, all of AC/DC recordings up to Highway to Hell are just so so, none of them sound that great but they are acceptable and still good. I also bought the "Powerage" and ditto on that one too.

I love this album ever more than Dirty Deeds. AC/DC is a band revered across all subsections of rock and roll. They weren't a punk rock band or a heavy metal band. They were akin to Chuck Berry turned up to 11.

You just cannot go wrong with classic AC/DC. Highlights here are Dog Eat Dog, Overdose, and Whole Lotta Rosie. The title track is good, but since day one I have always thought the song just drug on for too long i.e. it's just too long. Problem Child is good here, but the best version is on the 1976 Australian release of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. On that one, the song has a false ending with a fading reprise to finish (a bit longer).

A good 3 1/2 to 4 stars for this one. The higher rankings go to some of their other work including T.N.T. (Australian release), Back In Black, and For Those About To Rock.

"Let There Be Rock" has been my favorite Seedies album for almost thirty years. I didn't realize until fairly recently, however, that the US release didn't contain all the original songs in their original order. This release corrects that deficiency. No tepid studio version of "Problem Child" held over from the "Dirty Deeds" sessions--this recording contains the filthy-but-hilarious "Crabsody in Blue." Side one ends with "Bad Boy Boogie, the second with "Whole Lotta Rosie." Thought you loved "Let There Be Rock"? Then listen to it the way it was originally intended to be heard--it's an even more ferocious animal!

Energizante, un álbum que no puede faltar en tu colección te guste o no AC/DC. Guitarras distorsionadas, batería, bajo, Bon y Angus que más…

A prensagem é boa, mas a Amazon despacha disco pior do que o aeroporto despacha sua mala. Um policial carcerário tem mais cuidado com seus presos que a Amazon tem com seus produtos.
