Flick of the Switch专辑介绍
1982年的大部分时间都在巡演,之后他们进行了一次长时间的休假。7个月后,他们开始了又一张专辑的录制。录音工作是在Nassau的Compass Point录音室进行的。

录音进行到一半的时候,Phil Rudd被开除了。那时,对这次突发事件并没有给出任何理由。几年以后,由于Phil吸毒已不是什么秘密,真相便大白了。在Cannon and Bell巡演时,他曾经产生幻觉,发现有陌生人在他房里。更糟的是,Phil和Malcolm之间存在个人矛盾。他们的关系日益恶化,最后发展到打起架来;冲突后两小时,Phil便飞回了家,他被开除了。

新专辑是由Tony Platt录音混音、乐队自己制作的。1983年8月发行后,Flick Of The Switch(扳动开关)最终爬上了英国排行榜的第4位。但Flick Of The Switch太商业化,在美国排行榜上只排在第15位;在1984年Kerrang!杂志的读者投票中,AC/DC排在“最佳乐队”的倒数第5位,在那年度的“最令人失望的乐队”中排在第8位。

by Steve Huey

For Flick of the Switch, AC/DC jettisoned producer Mutt Lange in an attempt to recapture the rawness and simplicity of their early records. While they more or less succeed in terms of the record's sound, and show more energy than on the preceding For Those About to Rock We Salute You, the songs themselves suffer -- AC/DC's music has always been simple, but here it sounds underdeveloped and unmemorable. As perhaps indicated by the record's idiotic original title, the utterly generic I Like to Rock, AC/DC seemed to be running out of ideas at an alarming rate, and their record sales began to reflect that fact.
