"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)" (often shortened to For Those About to Rock on its cover) is the eighth studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on November 20, 1981, in the United States and on November 27, 1981, in the United Kingdom. The album served as a follow-up to their massively successful Back in Black and went on to become another major success for the band, selling over four million copies in the U.S. It was AC/DC's first and only album to reach No. 1 in the U.S. until Black Ice in 2008.
For Those About to Rock received high praise upon its release, with Rolling Stone magazine calling it the band's best album in its original 1981 review. In Australia, the album peaked at No. 3 on the Kent Music Report Albums Chart. It was recorded in Paris and marked the third and final collaboration between AC/DC and producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
The album was later re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.
