For Those About to Rock We Salute You

AC/DC's hot streak began to draw to a close with For Those About to Rock We Salute You.And the band itself slowed down the tempo frequently, sounding less aggressive and inspired. There is still some decent material here ? the title track, for example, which became a concert staple with cannon-firing sound effects. The title track was inspired by a the saying "For those about to die, we salute you" and the band simply changed a word. The song features cannon noises which build up for a grand finale. It is a concert staple, and justifiably so, but there's plenty more noteworthy tunes, among them are the verse-riff tandem of "Inject the venom", the relentless rocking of "Snowballed", "Night of the long knives" had a Back in Black-style groove, "Breaking the rules" is an anthemic, semi-bounce track. I recommend "For those about to Rock" wholeheartedly.
