...Roll Dream” encapsulates AC/DC’s new balance of balls out rock with something a bit softer. The relatively mellow verses are initially filled only by quiet and unobtrusive drums, a haunting solo guitar line, and Johnson’s voice.

Renewed optimism similarly reigned in Europe, where effervescent markets got a midafternoon lift from U.S. President George W. Bush's announcement of a new government plan to inject $250 billion of capital in exchange for equity into at least nine American banks.
