AC/DC does not take themselves seriously, except when discussing how seriously they rock.

Overall, Black Ice is not the sort of album that will stand the test of time. AC/DC has many albums that have done so already, and by this point in their career they have likely exhausted their best energy and ideas. That is not to say that Black Ice sounds tired, but it certainly is not a breakthrough record that will be long remembered in the way that, say, Back in Black, was.

In that way, Black Ice is no more or less than the sum of its parts. The album is solid, functional, and does everything the band and its fans need it to. Could the album have been made better? Probably not. AC/DC is not an innovative band, and they know how to maximize their abilities to deliver the hard rocking that their audience desires.
Arguably, any listener who is looking for something else in an album is probably not in the market for an AC/DC album in the first place. The album delivers to AC/DC fans, and that is all it needs. So it would be tough to argue that AC/DC could have done a better job with this album, and they could definitely have done worse.

On the whole, I would recommend this album, but only to established AC/DC fans. They have waited eight years for new material, and it has finally arrived. For people curious looking to get into AC/DC, they would be better advised to check out some of their old material, either Back in Black or the classic rockers from the Bon Scott era, to find out why the band has so many fans......
