632. AC/DC / Who Made Who. 1986. 4.5/5

In the main, this album serves as the soundtrack to the Stephen King penned movie Maximum Overdrive, a moderately enjoyable film with big trucks that gain their own conscious state. As a collection of songs, both newly recorded and a smattering of good 'uns from their back catalogue, this becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

The headline song is the title track, "Who Made Who" which became a huge anthem through the late 80's. It's popularity and importance to the AC/DC catalogue is obvious, and more than makes this compilation on its own.
There are two other new songs on this release, and both are instrumentals, "D.T." and "Chase the Ace". Both are great additions as well (with "D.T." becoming a favourite to play for the band I was in during my early twenties).
The remainder of the album is packed with great songs from their other albums. I like it because this is not a greatest hits collection, it is a soundtrack collection, so rather than getting the most popular songs of the band, you get a mix of songs that provided a background during the movie.
The obvious are included - "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Hells Bells" from the Back in Black album boom along nicely, and fall into this category. There are the great "Sink the Pink" and "Shake Your Foundations" from the underrated Fly on the Wall album, the understated "Ride On" (the only contribution from Bon Scott here) from the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap album, and the awesome "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)" from the album of the same name that closes out the album.

This is not a greatest hits album, but it is a great collection of some terrific AC/DC songs, not all of which are often considered when it comes to putting together a 'best-of' list, that is more than worthwhile owning.
