It’s loud, straight ahead, and powerful, and while perhaps not as uber popular as the 3 albums that preceded it, FLICK is still very much an important album in the AC/DC catalog and one that would serve as a “connector” between where they had been and where they were headed. “We could have a rated R show…it doesn’t have to be X…” We’re finally back on track after getting derailed by the weather. Always remember to “wait ‘til it has some viscosity to it…” and then JOIN US for a “night time” dive into the album that would serve as the bridge into the next era of AC/DC with “The White Album” known as FLICK OF THE SWITCH.
