Sobre el álbum
La discografía de AC/DC presenta uno de los regresos más espectaculares de los años 90. "The Razor's Edge" es un álbum con un sonido afilado y moderno, gracias al trabajo del productor Bruce Fairbairn, conocido por sus éxitos con Aerosmith y Bon Jovi. Con la incorporación del batería Chris Slade, la banda creó un disco que los conectó con una nueva generación de fans y los catapultó de nuevo a la cima.
Indudablemente, el éxito masivo del álbum se debe en gran parte a "Thunderstruck". Con su inolvidable riff de guitarra inicial, creado por Angus Young, la canción se convirtió instantáneamente en un himno global y en una de las piezas más icónicas de su carrera. "Moneytalks" fue otro gran éxito, una canción con un gancho pop irresistible que dominó las ondas de radio. Estos dos temas llevaron el álbum a un nivel de ventas multiplatino.
El resto del disco mantiene un nivel muy alto, con temas potentes como "Fire Your Guns" y la propia "The Razor's Edge". Las letras, escritas exclusivamente por los hermanos Young, se alejan de los dobles sentidos para centrarse en temas más directos sobre la tensión y el poder. "The Razor's Edge" es un triunfo, un álbum que demostró que AC/DC podía sonar relevante y vital en una nueva década, creando uno de los discos de hard rock más importantes de los 90.
