** 1/2 AC/DC, “Stiff Upper Lip,” Elektra. On a good day, AC/DC rocks harder than most bands young or old. On a bad day, it still rocks harder, only less memorably. The group’s latest can’t top “Back in Black” or “Highway to Hell” in terms of album achievements, but the standout tracks (“Stiff Upper Lip,” “All Screwed Up”) are quintessential collisions between crisp playing, meaty grooves and saucy double entendres.
