The 16th Australian and 15th international full-length studio album by the legendary Australian Hard Rock band.
It is the shortest studio album ever released by the band; at approximately 35 minutes, it is two minutes shorter than their previous shortest album, "Flick Of The Switch" (1983). "Rock Or Bust" also was the band's first album without founding member and rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, who had retired from the band in 2014 due to health concerns, although he co-wrote every track on the album. Bass guitarist Cliff Williams has also retired since "Rock Or Bust" was released; drummer Phil Rudd was unable to participate in the supporting tour after being sentenced to house arrest; and vocalist Brian Johnson was forced to exit the band after the fifth leg of the album's supporting tour as a result of hearing loss.
Nothing can last forever. For a while in 2014, it looked as though AC/DC’s time might be up. Malcolm Young, who founded the band with brother and fellow guitarist Angus in 1973, was diagnosed with dementia and had retired from the band. It seemed unthinkable but, holed up with producer Brendan O’Brien in a Vancouver Studio, and with Young’s nephew Stevie filling in on rhythm, carry on they did. And how. "Rock Or Bust", the product of AC/DC’s own uncertain times, is a towering retort to any notion that they might be finished. As the name suggests, it’s an album that places its faith at the feet of Rock’N’Roll, both as a restorative force and also as a vaccine against all ills. Nowhere is this more explicitly stated than on the title track, which heaves along on the kind of monolithic riff Angus Young patented sometime around the Stone Age. Phil Rudd’s drums crash, Cliff Williams’ bass throbs and Johnson squeals out a defiant, ends-of-the-earth manifesto: "In Rock’N’Roll we trust / It’s rock or bust"!!
Upon its release, "Rock Or Bust" became the sixth most pre-ordered studio album of 2014 on Amazon UK. In the US, the album sold 172000 copies in its first week of release and debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. As of January 2015, it has sold 500000 copies in the US leading to a Gold certification by the RIAA, the band's 22nd album to reach such status. In Canada, it debuted at #1 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 31000 copies in its first week of release. Worldwide, "Rock Or Bust" sold a total of 2.8 million copies in 2014. “Rock Or Bust” peaked at #1 in 12 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany and Sweden. It reached the top 5 in a further 12 countries, including New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States and Italy. The album earned AC/DC a 2015 ECHO Award for Rock/Alternative (International).
