… or 3 months since release and Black Ice has firmly embedded itself as not just the album of 2008 but one of the greatest albums of its kind. The disc is still firmly lodged in my car CD player and is an almost constant accompaniment to short car journeys. Admittedly that is primarily a result of the ‘no downloads’ policy which gave me no option but to buy the album on CD, but the main reason I am still listening to it regularly is the sheer quality.
The band also seem to have realised that this a superior product as they now include 5 selections from the album in their live show – all of which seem to sit comfortably alongside some of the greatest, and most familiar, rock ‘n’ roll tracks ever written.
