AC/DC

Iron Man 2 Soundtrack Review

The trailer to the new Iron Man film sort of gave me goosepimples, and I'm pretty certain that had more to do with the stompy AC/DC music rather than Mickey Rourke whipping race-cars with his bad-guy electro arms.

Apparently there's an astonishing 15 tracks from the antipodean wrinklies featured in the film. You can just imagine 'tinhead' battling evil people while singer Brian Johnson sings about big his testicles are or how he'd like his head squashed between some 'American thighs'.

Oddly, the band has never put out a studio 'greatest hits' album, so this Iron Man 2-soundtrack-disguised-as-a-sort-of-greatest hits is the closest you'll get to owning such a privilege.

Carrying raunchy, balls-swingery rockers like 'Thunderstruck', 'T.N.T.', and 'Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be' - and excusedly missing out on some saucy, ubiquitous ones like 'Whole Lotta Rosie' and 'You Shook Me' - it's still a fine introduction to rock's most time-defying, LYRICALLY FRUITY PARTY BAND. Goosepimply loudness!
