Hell yes!
I've been listening to it since yesterday and I really like it. I think it might be the best one since Razor's Edge.
It's the same ol' AC/DC so if you like that you'll like this album.

Is a surprisingly good album seeing how old these guys are now. Sounds exactly like what you would expect from AC/DC.
Stevie Young on guitar. Angus and Malcolm's nephew.
Keeping it in the family, I love that.
I find the lack of replies to this thread very disturbing.
We are talking about a new album by AC f*****g DC guys!!

I have to say that in a day and age when artist change genres and styles to adapt with the times AC/DC has stayed the same. A station could play a new song of theirs on the radio and 3-5 bars into the intro you know who it is. They have a signature sound and haven't caved to sounding like what radio wants them to and in turn have a loyal fan following that has kept them relevant and made them quite wealthy.
Other than the vocals... you really cant tell if a song was written in 1976 or 2006... I see that as a positive.
I love playing their stuff in my cover bands... their music ALWAYS works.
No it's not.
The names of the songs are different!
They are the kings of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
I'm surprised it took as long as it did to get the 'they've released the same album ' comment. I mean, there's truth to it, but the people who love them, love them for who they are. I'm in that group. Having said that, Demon Fire is my favorite track off the new album and is probably the first classic AC/DC 'hit' they've had in years.
And to address the Bon comment above; I love Bon - Let There be Rock is my favorite rock song of all time, but I think at this point Brian is more AC/DC than Bon just due to longetivity. What might have been...

Once saw an AC/DC interview a number of years back and it was either Brian or Angus who said, You know that we aren't ever gonna slip in a ballad on you. So yeah, you always know what you are going to get with these guys and that's just fine by me.
I think I saw another interview with Angus where the interviewer said, in so many words', "You've been accused of doing the same album 11 times now - how would you respond to that?" Angus said, "That's absolutely false. We've done 12 albums." Love it when artists don't take themselves too seriously.
They are one of the few bands who never strayed from what made them great to begin with and although it all sounds similar its still great music. Instead of people complaining about it, they need to be glad an iconic band was able to give us at least one more good album to enjoy. These guys are getting old and may be our last gift from them.
Don't get me wrong, I love all 17 versions of the album. I think Malcolm Young is THE most underrated guitarist in history and there's not even a close second.
Meant to share this on Halloween. Some of your AC/DC fans may get a kick out of it. The Black Crowes used to come out and play a set as a costumed opening act back in the day. They did "BC/DC" in 2005 dressed as Angus.
In a world of constant turmoil, AC/DC is the rock my soul rests upon.
Everybody knows their hits: Back in Black, You Shook Me All Nite Long, etc... but their lesser known stuff is REALLY good.
My personal favorites ("non-hit"):
Let Me Put My Love Into You (a hilarious title btw)
Night Prowler
Have a Drink on Me
One of the few bands that could fill a 90 minute CD of truly great songs IMHO.

"Sink the Pink"... another hilarious title.
I think they wrote some songs for teenage boys to laugh at... and at age 57, I'm still immature enough to laugh as well.
Heard a great comment on AC/DC once. I can't remember what program it was, but it was one of those VH1-style countdown of greatest bands/albums/whatever... One of the guys from Anthrax (IIRC) said the best thing about AC/DC is they've been around for 40 years, and if you go to one of their shows, "you can bet your *** they're not gonna slip one @#^$^@ ballad in there on you." 
Only snowflakes with objectively horrible taste in music will agree with you.
You can keep listening to Yanni and Kenny G.
Keep listening to moronic lyrics and the same two chords for 45 years... enjoy.
-my taste in music is beyond reproach. I've been a fan of "indie rock/punk rock/alt rock"...or whatever the hipsters wanna call it since middle school(82ish). I've played indie music in bars since age 15.
^point being i have "indie cred" im not a "classic rock guy" that hates on new/different music...flipside:just because something is popular dont mean its bad.
-all that said....AC/DC *is* rock'n'roll. The guitar tones are "of the gods". If you can't enjoy them...thats on you.
- uncharacteristically bad take, kooky.

I wish rock wasn't dead. The kids would rather hear some dude mumble rap about killing cops and all da hos. Or some other stupid nonsense. But I can't blame them. That is what they're sold. White guy music is bad you know.
I do applaud ACDC for keeping it rock. At least they're trying.

They brought nothing to the table...
Basic bitches.
you like simple? Choose Ramones.
You like dark and hard rock? Choose Black Sabbath
they are a British version of Aerosmith with KISS musical chops.
FIRE!!!
Malcolm Young is responsible for more women shaking their asses than any guitarist in history.
-couple of things:
-70's aerosmith is great...give "toys in the attic" a listen, very good album. 80's and 90's stuff is awful.
-austrailia hasnt been British for decades.
