KFIX Rock News: AC/DC Releases Track List, Album Art For “Rock Or Bust”

Two weeks after AC/DC announced the forthcoming release of their new album, Rock or Bust, we now have a track listing.

The band’s studio follow-up to 2008’s Black Ice will feature 11 tracks, one of which we’ve already heard: “Play Ball” has been featured in Turner Sports’ coverage of postseason Major League Baseball since the end of last month.

Rock or Bust is scheduled for a December 2 release, but if you order it now, you’ll score an instant digital download of “Play Ball.”

In addition to digital, Rock or Bust will be available on CD and vinyl. You may want to grab a copy of one or both: the album’s cover features a 3-D image that gives the illusion of the AC/DC logo exploding when you move the cover in different directions. You can see the cover now on AC/DC’s official website.

Sadly, Rock or Bust will be the first album in AC/DC’s 41-year history not to feature founding guitarist Malcolm Young, who has retired from the band after being diagnosed with dementia.

Stevie Young — Malcolm and Angus Young’s nephew — stands in for his ailing uncle on the album, and will also do so on the road. A tour’s expected sometime next year.

Here’s the Rock or Bust track listing:

“Rock or Bust”
“Play Ball”
“Rock the Blues Away”
“Miss Adventure”
“Dogs of War”
“Got Some Rock & Roll Thunder”
“Hard Times”
“Baptism by Fire”
“Rock the House”
“Sweet Candy”
“Emission Control”
