After the fantastic Back In Black and international release of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, For Those About To Rock is a disappointment. The sentiment of honoring the fans in the title track is noble, but musically the song is flat until the double-time section. “Snowballed” is built on a classic driving riff and “Night Of The Long Knives” is solid, but the rest of the album seems formulaic and flat. None of the songs are bad, but they would have been filler on either of the band’s previous two albums. One of the band’s best trademarks has been their euphemistic wordplay, but the closest thing to that here is interpreting the familiar acronym “C. O. D.” as “Care Of The Devil”. For Those About To Rock marks the end of a series of great albums and ushers in a very long era of mediocrity for AC/DC.
