...with more melodic, beautiful phrases, which allow him to display an almost soulful, slightly scratchy voice. “Rock ’N’ 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. Quick crescendos then lift the track up to a high-energy chorus, “I could be in a rock ’n’ roll dream...
...than the first, which would seem like emotional growth if “Who Do You Think You Are” weren’t two tracks from the end. Still, the last song, “Ain’t Gonna Lose You,” has a mellow humility that goes a long way toward making you forget some of the things that came before.
