„Stiff Upper Lip“ ist das 14. internationale Studioalbum der australischen Hardrock-Band AC/DC, veröffentlicht am 28. Februar 2000 über EastWest Records, produziert von George Young – dem älteren Bruder von Angus und Malcolm Young – und stellt eine Rückkehr zu einem bluesigeren, erdigen Sound dar, der stärker an die Frühwerke der Band erinnert als an den hymnischen Stadionrock der späten 1980er. Der Titelsong „Stiff Upper Lip“ wurde als Single ausgekoppelt und erreichte unter anderem Platz 1 der US Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts, während weitere Tracks wie „Safe in New York City“, „Satellite Blues“ und „Can’t Stand Still“ den für AC/DC typischen Mix aus knurrenden Riffs, stoischer Rhythmik und Brian Johnsons rauem Gesang liefern. Das Album wurde in den Warehouse Studios in Vancouver aufgenommen und erhielt überwiegend positive Kritiken für seine Konzentration auf den Kern der AC/DC-Identität ohne unnötige Experimente. „Stiff Upper Lip“ erreichte Platz 1 der deutschen Charts, Platz 7 in Großbritannien und Platz 7 in den USA, wurde mehrfach mit Gold ausgezeichnet und verkaufte sich weltweit über zwei Millionen Mal. Das Album zeigt eine Band, die trotz Jahrzehnten im Geschäft unbeirrt ihrem Stil treu bleibt und beweist, dass weniger oft mehr ist, wenn es um kompromisslosen Rock ’n’ Roll geht.

User Album Review
Stiff Upper Lip, AC/DC's 15th studio album, may not reach the heights of Back in Black or Highway to Hell, but it delivers strongly and satisfyingly. It's the record that the highly touted, Rick Rubin-produced Ballbreaker should have been: a simple, addictive, hard album, bursting with bold riffs and bolstered by a crunching, thrillingly visceral sound. Sure, there are absolutely no new ideas, but that's the point. AC/DC know their strengths and they embrace them. And why shouldn't they? Nobody writes a better riff than Malcolm and Angus Young; each song has a riff so catchy, it feels like you've heard it for years. Is there anything earth-shaking? Hardly, but it's largely terrific nonetheless, just because AC/DC are so good at what they do. It's simple music, to be sure, but it's unassumingly musical and, in a way rather smart. If making music like this was really that easy, why can't anybody else do it this well? Some bands are capable of knocking out one record like this -- one, maybe two. AC/DC do it nearly every time out. They've never really stretched, yet that's why they have one of the most reliable catalogs in rock & roll. When you put on one of their records, you know what you're in for, and they always deliver. With Stiff Upper Lip, they're not at classic status, but they're still top-notch. This may not be the first AC/DC record for a collection, but once you're into their scene, it's a fine place to be.
