AC/DC remained popular amongst metalheads in the mid `80s, but the commercial disappointment of albums like 1983`s FLICK OF THE SWITCH showed that the pop audience who discovered the band with 1980`s mammoth seller BACK IN BLACK was losing interest. Instead of radically altering its sound like many other hard rock bands of the era did after weak-selling albums, AC/DC admirably stuck to its guns and continued in a bluesy hard rock direction with 1985`s FLY ON THE WALL. While the album didn`t exactly catapult the band back to the top of the charts, it did sell more copies than its predecessor. The album also marked the band`s first studio recording with new drummer Simon Wright.
FLY ON THE WALL`s highlights include "Sink the Pink" and "Shake Your Foundations," a track that would be included just one year later on WHO MADE WHO, a soundtrack to Stephen King`s movie MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE. "Danger," "Back in Business," and "Playing With Girls," are also standouts. While it`s not on par with AC/DC`s classic albums, FLY ON THE WALL is still a strong effort.
