Here’s a tweet I saw today: “As if you need more than one AC/DC record….”

Ha! ‘Cause they all sound the same, right? To the casual fan perhaps. But is this really a bug? Consistency, after all, can be a virtue, maybe especially in rock ‘n’ roll, that most inconsistent of musical arenas. For AC/DC—-wrote a Rolling Stonereview of their 2008 album Black Ice—“rock is sacred… and no band short of the Ramones has so militantly refused to reach beyond the basics of the form.”
