AC/DC are also giving fans a sneak peek today at the full track listing (see below) and cover art for ‘Rock or Bust.’ ‘Rock or Bust’ features a non-traditional and inventive three-dimensional lenticular cover, which gives the illusion of the band’s iconic logo exploding as the packaging is moved in different directions.
