"Powerage" is the fifth studio album by the Australian rock band AC/DC, released in 1978. Widely regarded as one of the band's finest albums, "Powerage" showcases AC/DC's signature hard rock sound and uncompromising attitude.
The album features ten tracks, including standout songs like "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation," "Riff Raff," and "Sin City." These tracks are characterized by their driving rhythms, blistering guitar riffs, and gritty vocals, all of which became hallmarks of AC/DC's style.
"Powerage" marked a transitional period for AC/DC, as it was the last album to feature bassist Mark Evans, who was replaced by Cliff Williams shortly after its release. Despite the lineup change, "Powerage" received critical acclaim and solidified AC/DC's reputation as one of the premier rock bands of the era.
While "Powerage" did not achieve the same commercial success as some of AC/DC's later albums, it has since become a fan favorite and a cult classic among rock enthusiasts. Its raw energy, memorable hooks, and no-nonsense approach to rock 'n' roll continue to resonate with audiences decades after its release, making "Powerage" a timeless addition to AC/DC's discography.
