New Sounds: AC/DC
Backtracks
Eden Munro / eden@vueweekly.com
I don't want to give AC/DC a measly two stars—there's some genuinely great early material on this new collection—but as a whole, this set has a jagged, stop-and-start feel, the songs arranged in chronological order and shifting abruptly into the Brian Johnson era with no regard for flow. Most of this material has been easily available since the launch of Napster, but it is nice to have better-than-MP3 versions of the Bon Scott material. Still, it's crap as a cohesive whole.
