Brendan O'Brien says that the new album will get the same treatment as any other AC/DC effort. AC/DC gets back to basics: I was hoping the songs would lend themselves to more of a — 'pop' is the wrong word, but hooky sort of treatment," O'Brien told Rolling Stone. "Like 'Back in Black' or 'Highway to Hell' and even 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.' I was trying to just make people remember, 'This is the same band. I have missed this band. I love this band. Where have they been?'

O'Brien said their demos had a very unique sound: If it's Angus' song, he's doing a guitar riff or the drum machine or a drum sort of thing, and he'll sing this very mumbly melody, very superlow, three octaves down, he explained.

And by the way, Angus won't give up his school-boy outfit: At first, when I think about 'Hey, I haven't worn it in a while,' it takes me a little bit of psychology to get into it," he told Rolling Stone. "But I promised myself I'm not gonna think — I'll just put it on.
