Power Up 50th Anniversary Gold

Great novelty item but a little overpriced IMO
I am reviewing the deluxe edition of this CD with the light up box and built in speaker. The cd itself is GREAT, typical AC/DC and it ROCKS! I hope the band keeps cranking out kick ass music for many years to come as I will keep buying their stuff. As for the deluxe box it came in......I thought the light up part was going to be more 3 dimensional, almost like a neon bar sign. It is basically just a flat picture with a light behind it. Mine lit up and played a few seconds of their single Shot In The Dark right out of the box but it does have a little charging port and comes with a cable to charge it. I thought the booklet would be a little bigger and thicker than it was but it was just a standard little booklet in the cd sleeve with the disk (unless there is another booklet in the box that I have not found yet lol). Though this is a very cool novelty item, I don't think it was $48 cool. I think the price should have been more around $28 at best. I was a little disappointed and found myself wishing I would have just purchased the standard edition that is around $12. Do not hesitate to buy this cd for the music though, as every song on here really rocks and have a lot of Angus Young's trademark guitar riffs and Stevie young delivers the same driving rhythm guitar that his uncle was known for. Brian Johnson's vocals are still great as is Phil's drumming. And Cliff Williams still provides the backbone bass tying it all together. Just get this cd, if you are an AC/DC fan you will NOT be disappointed.

Incredible package for a worthy album
I loved the box that lights up and plays the first few riffs of shot in the dark. It is an excellent album and I love all the songs. Some of my favorites include:Shot in the darkRealizeWitch's spellThrough the mist of timeRejectionBad reputationIt's fast and furious and the band is superb. Angus Young is on fire and Brian Johnson sounds like he never aged. The album was nominated for a Grammy too.Get the album and power up!

Excellent!
Great to hear from one of the best rock and roll bands to ever grace the planet! The case is truly remarkable. I like the lights and sounds and the fact that it plays a little bit of music as well. It is rechargeable too so that is nice as well. The VD is good. Of course the music is predictable but I like it.

Perfect gift for my husband
The shipping was fast which is awesome I got this for my hubby for Christmas and if your anything like me and hate shopping for your boyfriend or husband if he's an AC⚡DC fan this is the best thing to get him. As soon as it got here I got it out of the box to make sure everything was in working order I've read reviews that said the music didn't play and nothing even lit up on the box but everything seemed to be fine my husband will love this I didn't get a picture or video for the review Because I wanted to get it wrapped up before my husband became suspicious 😂 but it worked perfectly it's pretty awesome I can't wait until he opens his present coming from Australia and being a big fan of AC⚡DC I know he's going to be happy with this CDWorth the buy and worth the money

Five star album, cheap packaging
Power Up is a great album, best since The Razors Edge. This edition, however is not worth the asking price, $20 at most. I thought it would be more like Fear Inoculum by Tool, but this is just cheap cardboard. Buy the regular version, which is a cheap digipak or better yet the iTunes version which i ended up doing and sending this back for a refund.

Great CD, cool box, expected nothing less from AC/DC!
This CD is just as good if not better than FTATR! Before long people will be playing these songs everywhere! I play "Malcolm" RIP in my tribute to AC/DC ThunderJack, and we are already learning these tunes for our next performance and I can't wait to play them on stage! Lightbox is an added bonus, very cool!
