If for some reason you currently don't have audio available on your computer I'll give you a quick rundown:

The song is "not ..bad". It's an ..."OK shake at it".

The song is typical mid-tempo AC/DC with a few slightly more complex chord changes by Angus. There is not much of a bridge to the chorus. The bridge is there but is considerably shorter than normal for AC/DC. The chorus is kinda laid back. Sort-of in the way the chorus of "Sway" is by our Rolling Stones. The chorus itself here is fair enough but nothing special.

However the catchy drums in this one keep this song afloat. The drums are not really "heavy" in sound. What makes them cool then? The snare and kick have a nice ride symbol rolling with them that sounds tight and "gated". This gives effect for the drums in the melody to sound kinda "nifty". I liked those. They are the catchy part of this tune. Not outwardly, but they are kinda neat sounding. You'll like them.

Surprisingly the melody is better than the chorus in this tune. The guitar play while rhythmically is a step up in changes from Angus's norm is still kinda sloppy and doesn't nail me.

I am no real AC/DC pundit but I will say it certainly is not the single I expected from such a wait and this highly anticipated album.

The song is more over a middle of the road tune (almost average for AC/DC standards). It is not worthy of a major come back song. I hope the rest is better because if it isn't ...this album will soon be forgotten and will be seen as some what a let-down.

I do have to break it to some of you AC/DC fans. It isn't a "heavy" sounding track (as far as AC/DC standards go) if that is what your hoping for. It is more catchy than heavy as far as AC/DC goes with sloppier than normal play by Angus. There isn't any earth shattering guitar solo. One is in place but is rather fast and over in a flash.

The song is OK. If there were any real surprises here in this tune I may of hinted towards them. There aren't any... at least not on this track. Again, the song is "fair enough" but not super (or even really good). As for the rest of the album ....the verdict still out on Black Ice.
