Best ACDC album since Back in Black! - By: longdirtyhair, 22 Aug 2008 
You would have to be stone dead not to LOVE this album. Ok the guitar sound & basic style is ripped right out of ACDC circa 1980, but that is probably the bigggest compliment you could pay this album.
The energy is incredible, & I haven't heard a band enjoying themselves as much on an album, since, well, probably ACDC on Backin Black.
Each track is simple, catchy, & ROCKS!! The best, (imho) track 4, Diamondin the Rough, is a monument to good-time rock & roll. You just cannot get the chorus out of your head.
Forget tuned-down guitars, 100 riffs per song, & shouty hardcore vocals about misery & death.
Marvel instead at the simplicity of brilliant songs played by a band who love being alive.
If you don't get this, contact an undertaker immediately - you are obviously dead.
Solid hard rock effort - By: Mr. G. Charlesworth, 02 Aug 2008 
Ok having just listened to this album for the first time today I must say that this band whilst not bad just fall short of greatness. Obvious comparisons are going to be made betweeen them & AC/DC & they certainly make enough racket & the riffs & huge choruses are all includedin this album.
The only problem being though is that although a few of the songs such as Running Wild & Too Much Too Young Too Fast are certainly great & what prompted me to buy this album the rest of the tracks here are only ok but nothing essential.
So why 4 stars I here you ask? Well, too be honest this band have great potential & as the rock world at the moment needs a good-time hard rock band this is well worth taking a look but if only to fill the gap between the next AC/DC album. Fine effort but not essential.
Inspired by the rock Gods AC/DC! - By: Brian V. Burford, 29 Jul 2008 I first heard Airbourne on a magazine sample CD. The song was Black Jack. It was okay, nothing to get excited about. But it grew on me & I checked out the title track & loved it.
Comparisons with their fellow countrymen AC/DC are inevitable, & the fact that they playin a similar style means that it's almost unavoidable. AC/DC are my favourite band so Airbourne had a lot live up to.
But this album just rocks! The opening track Stand up for Rock & Roll kicks the CD off nicely. However, Airbourne really hit top gear with the rip-roaring Runnin' Wild, then into the overdrive for Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast & then warp drive with Diamondin the Rough. And the good riffs & hooks just keep coming with What's Eating You & Heartbreaker & the aforementioned Black Jack.
There are a couple of songs that let it down. But overall it's good old fashioned rock music. And I think that the kids of today may just be ready to get back to the roots of rock & have fun again.
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 arein 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 really 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 liesin 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!
