Album Review: Can I Sit On Your Face Girl You Can Sit On Mine by AC/DC (2000)
Alright, let’s get one thing straight—this album is not your typical AC/DC fare. First off, it’s a Swedish release under the cheeky label “Not On Label (AC/DC),” which already sets the tone for some rock ‘n’ roll shenanigans. Released in 2000, this hard rock gem leans into the band’s classic vibe but with just enough edge to keep things spicy. And hey, that title? It’s either genius or someone had too much coffee when naming it. Either way, we’re here for it.
Now, onto the tracks. This bad boy includes some bangers like Jailbreak, Can I Sit Next To You Girl?, The Jack, and It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll). But let’s zoom in on two standouts that’ll have you cranking up the volume and annoying your neighbors.
First up, Jailbreak. Holy smokes, this track hits like a runaway freight train. Angus Young’s guitar riffs are sharper than your ex’s insults, and Bon Scott’s vocals? Pure raw energy. It’s the kind of song that makes you wanna grab a leather jacket, hop on a motorcycle, and ride into the sunset—even if you don’t own a bike. The chorus is so catchy, it’ll be stuck in your head for days, and honestly, you won’t mind. It’s rebellious, loud, and unapologetically fun. If this doesn’t make you wanna break free from life’s monotony, nothing will.
Then there’s It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll). Man, this tune is practically a rock anthem bible verse at this point. The bagpipes intro? Iconic. The lyrics? Relatable AF. Anyone who’s ever chased a dream knows exactly what they’re talking about. Plus, the harmonica solo slaps harder than most guitar solos these days. It’s gritty, heartfelt, and reminds you why AC/DC has been a household name for decades. Listening to it feels like getting a pep talk from your coolest uncle while he hands you a beer.
One thing worth noting—this album might not be everyone’s cup of tea. It’s got that lo-fi charm, like it was recorded in someone’s garage during a wild Friday night jam session. But honestly, that’s part of its charm. There’s no overproduction or fancy tricks here, just pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll goodness.
So, would I recommend Can I Sit On Your Face Girl You Can Sit On Mine? Absolutely. It’s a wild ride through AC/DC’s hard rock roots, with enough swagger to fill a stadium. Just don’t blame me if you end up air-guitaring in your living room and knocking over a lamp.
Final thought: If AC/DC ever decides to re-release this album, I hope they throw in a bonus track called Can I Borrow Your Charger? My Phone’s Dead. Now THAT’S relatable content.
