Editorial Product Review:Album Description:2002 compilation featuring 30 tracks from their years with Columbia & Geffen. Hologram cover. 2002. :Over a remarkable 30 years, Aerosmith has delivered near-perfect hybrids of rock and balladry, converting generations of listeners into devout fanatics. O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits drives chronologically through 30 of their best songs, providing a tour of the construction process. And what a process! Listen to 'Mama Kin' and you might not recognize Aerosmith at all--here is a young Tyler, before ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Originally released in 1975, this was Aerosmith's breakout recording. Listeners only familiar with their more recent, post-comeback material may be surprised; like their other albums from the 1970s, Toys has a strong blues inflection, as indicated by their cover of 'Big Ten Inch Record,' which also shows that Aerosmith has never lacked raunchiness or innuendo. There's also the original (pre-Run-D.M.C.) version of 'Walk This Way,' and the classic 'Sweet Emotion.' This is classic Aerosmith at its ...
Editorial Product Review: :Even before their second fling with the pop mainstream, Aerosmith were one of Top 40's favorite hard-rock bands, so ubiquitous--and so funky--that Run-D.M.C. were vociferous fans. Their '70s output included at least three classic albums (Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic, and Rocks). This disc collects unstoppable singles into a horny, howling little piece of archaeology that makes even weak links like 'Kings and Queens' sound great. And the truly great stuff here--'Sweet Emotion,' 'Last Child,' 'Dream On'--runs the ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:They'd soon crash, and hard, thanks to their own excesses. But Rocks captures Aerosmith at a crazily driven peak of creativity; anyone who heard it and continued to dismiss them as mere Stones clones was just being willful. This is blues rock cranked up to '70s stadium level, the sound of the Trans Am, or maybe the Porsches several of these guys (surprisingly) remember driving. The psychic battering they would succumb to on the next year's ...
Editorial Product Review: :While not quite as exemplary of the Boston quintet's '70s sound as Toys in the Attic or Rocks, Get Your Wings was impressive both in terms of its material and its measurable improvement over Aerosmith's debut. From the R&B inflected 'Same Old Song and Dance' to the power-rock 'Woman of the World' to the rollicking cover of 'Train Kept a Rollin',' Wings showed the band solidifying their sound and really taking flight for the first time. --Genevieve Williams
Editorial Product Review: :While not their strongest recording, Aerosmith's self-titled debut gave a taste of the musical path that the band, and much of the rest of hard rock, was to follow for the rest of the 1970s and well into the 1980s. Although the awkward social commentary of 'Movin' Out' and the swinging cover of Rufus Thomas's 'Walking the Dog' have largely been forgotten, two standards emerged from Aerosmith: 'Dream On,' a prototypical power ballad with its keyboards and string ...
Editorial Product Review: :Few comebacks in rock and roll history have been as amazing as that of Aerosmith. Their triumphant return to the charts in the '80s not only rekindled the band's earlier success, but also significantly surpassed it. With their top 20 hits 'Dude (Looks Like a Lady),' 'Ragdoll,' and the top 10 power ballad, 'Angel,' the group proved they had even more fire left in their fight than anyone could have imagined. Leaving behind its reckless lifestyle, the band ...
