Sobre el álbum
"T.N.T." es el segundo álbum de la discografía de AC/DC, tras su sencillo de gran éxito "Baby, Please Don't Go" y su álbum "High Voltage" y fue lanzado el 1 de diciembre de 1975 en Australia. Tras reunirse en los estudios Albert Studios de Sydney, graban este segundo disco junto a los productores George Young (hermano mayor de los guitarristas de la banda, Malcolm y Angus) y Harry Vanda.Para "T.N.T." la banda se olvidó de la la experimentación que influía su anterior trabajo para centrarse een lo que sería su esencia de aquí en adelante, puro hard rock, sonidos rítmicos e inspiraciones de blues. Los rangos en la formación principal de la banda quedarían cerrados con Angus Young como guitarrista principal y su hermano Malcolm a la guitarra rítmica. En la batería se alternaron Phil Rudd y Tony Currenti, mientras que en el bajo lo harían Mark Evans y George Young.
Malcolm y Angus eran los verdaderos artífices de las canciones y los riffs. Cuando ambos llegaban al estudio de grabación con una nueva idea, se ponían a trabajar al piano con George para darle la forma definitiva y no paraban hasta que esta estuviera definitivamente terminada.
"T.N.T." contiene algunas de las canciones más conocidas de AC/DC, incluido el tema principal, "It's a Long Way to the Top", junto a "The Jack" y "Rocker". Siete de las nueve canciones del álbum fueron escritas por los hermanos Young junto a Bon Scott, el vocalista del grupo.
El tema "School Days" es una versión de una canción de Chuck Berry, cuya música provocó una fuerte influencia en los hermanos Young. "High Voltage" fue la primera canción escrita y grabada para este nuevo trabajo de AC/DC, un título que hace referencia a su primer álbum y en el que está inspirada.
Este segundo álbum de AC/DC propició una mayor aparición de la banda en los medios australianos, donde desde las cadenas de televisión comenzaron a actuar y promocionar su trabajo. Los videoclips grabados también fueron reproducidos en las emisoras, aumentando exponencialmente su popularidad.

Letra
Up in the mornin' and out to school The teacher is teachin' the golden rule American history and practical math You're studyin' hard and hopin' to pass Oh, you're workin' your finger right down to the bone And the guy behind you won't leave you alone. Ring, ring goes the bell The cook in the kitchen is ready to sell But you're lucky if you can find a seat You're fortunate if you got time to eat Well back in to class and open your books Gee but the teacher don't know how mean she looks Hail hail rock-n-roll [Repeat: x6] As soon as three o'clock rolls around And you lay your burden down Throw down your books and outta your seat You go down the hallway and into the street Up to the corner and 'round the bend Right to the juke joint you go in You drop the coin right into the slot You gotta hear somthin' that's really hot With the one you love you're makin' romance All day long you've been waitin' to dance And you feel the music from head to toe Round and round and round and round you go Long live rock n roll [Repeat: x4] Rock rock rock n roll
