STIFF UPPER LIP is the 15th studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It was released on 28th February 2000. The album was produced by George Young, older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young and this was the last AC/DC album that George produced before his death in 2017. The album cover features a bronze statue of Angus, mimicked on tour in the form of a prop – bearing his demonic likeness – that was several storeys high. AC/DC’s iconic rock anthem STIFF UPPER LIP captivates audiences with its electrifying guitar riffs and raw energy. Released in 2000 their album has become a favorite among fans worldwide. But beyond the familiar refrain lies a deeper meaning that resonates with listeners. STIFF UPPER LIP reflects the band’s signature rebellious spirit and determination in the face of adversity. The title itself draws inspiration from the idiom often associated with British stoicism. It implies maintaining a calm and composed exterior despite the challenges life throws at us. AC/DC channels this concept into a hard-hitting rock anthem that encourages resilience and tenacity. The lyrics of STIFF UPPER LIP paint a picture of a relentless pursuit of personal freedom and sticking to one’s principles. It encapsulates the rebellious spirit of AC/DC, embracing the idea that standing firm in the face of opposition and finding strength within oneself are ingredients for success. The driving rhythm and thunderous guitar work, synonymous with AC/DC’s distinctive sound, intensify the message of unwavering determination.
PERSONNEL: Brian Johnson – lead vocals; Angus Young – lead guitar, backing vocals; Malcolm Young – rhythm guitar, backing vocals; Cliff Williams – bass guitar, backing vocals; Phil Rudd – drums.
STIFF UPPER LIP may not reach the heights of Back In Black or Highway To Hell, but it delivers strongly and satisfyingly. It's the record that the highly touted, Ballbreaker should have been - a simple, addictive, hard album, bursting with bold riffs and bolstered by a crunching, thrillingly visceral sound. Sure, there are absolutely no new ideas, but that's the point. AC/DC know their strengths and they embrace them. And why shouldn't they? Nobody writes a better riff than Malcolm and Angus Young. Each song has a riff so catchy, it feels like you've heard it for years. Is there anything earth-shaking? Hardly, but it's largely terrific nonetheless, just because AC/DC are so good at what they do. It's simple music, to be sure, but it's unassumingly musical and, in a way rather smart. If making music like this was really that easy, why can't anybody else do it this well? Some bands are capable of knocking out one record like this -- one, maybe two. AC/DC do it nearly every time out. They've never really stretched, yet that's why they have one of the most reliable catalogs in rock 'n' roll. When you put on one of their records, you know what you're in for, and they always deliver. With STIFF UPPER LIP, they're not at classic status, but they're still top-notch. This may not be the first AC/DC record for a collection, but once you're into their scene, it's a fine place to be.
