AC/DC wannabies - By: Mr. N. U. Corbet, 21 Jul 2008 
No disguising the fact that the main influence for these guys are AC/DC - but by crikey they make a good job of it! Excellent, short, sweet rock'n'roll songs that Angus & crew would be proud of - in fact Airbourne are in danger of out-AC/DCing AC/DC !!! Buy this, turn up the volume, get your head down & boogy !!!
It's not a 5 star album........ - By: Mr. Nicholas W. Le Huquet, 03 Jul 2008 
but it is a reallly enjoyable album. Unashameably influenced by AC/DC, if you also like The Offspring & WASP (The band 'We Are Sex Perverts' & not the KKK) then you will like this. The main fault lies in that it sounds like a album of singles, & therefore does not quite gell. One tip - start the album at track 3 (which is the first single), & continue playing through 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,1 until you finish on track 2. The album just sounds better - trust me!
High Voltage! - By: A. Sweeney, 02 Jul 2008 I wonder if Airbourne take to the stage in schoolboy uniforms? Because, seriously, that's how I picture them.
As you may have gathered by my opening line & perhaps by reading the rest of the reviews on amazon, this album is so similar to AC/DC it goes beyond "influence". However, this is no cheap rip-off, this is probably the best AC/DC album Angus & the boys never made. To be honest, it reallly doesn't matter how derivative they are or whether they are imitating AC/DC, what reallly matters is that they have made an absolutely fantastic heavy rock album packed full of head nodding riffs, blisteringly raw vocals, brilliant bluesy solos & enough hooks to open a fishing tackle store.
For any long-standing AC/DC fan who may be irked by 'Runnin' Wild': If it helps, pretend that you're playing a new AC/DC album & then you'll just plain enjoy it instead of being riled that Airbourne have stolen their musical identity hook, line & sinker. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery as they say, so try to be flattered instead of annoyed and, for rock's sake, just enjoy the music, it's awesome.
No highlights, no low points, just a storming album from the time you press play until the time you prise the earphones from your ringing ears after 'Hellfire'. Get it, enjoy it, don't take it too seriously. You'll love it.
IT ROCKS - By: D. Shirman, 01 Jul 2008 Yes it sounds like a slightly more basic version of AC/DC but so what?
It rocks, plain & simple, haven't stopped listening to it for over a week solid now & many more to come I'm sure.
Cheap Wine - RIFF! \m/
