Rocks

This album is 50 years old. What. Decent glam rock. It's all same same tbqh. Screechy, chunky guitars. It's fine. I say this thing about food when it is mid, "Food is food." Well, "rock is rock."

Better than I thought it would be but hard to overlook how terrible they would become.

This makes me feel the urge to buy a motorbike and stay in a motel. Funky and fun, but also slightly...meh? It didnt have the soul, it just felt bland and lacked depth.

Meh? 2.75 rounded up to 3.

Ik dacht erst dat ik aerosmith nie zo leuk vond, maar dit is toch best een leuk album. Very dad rock vibes. Als i keen rijbewijs had was ik nu over het snelheidslimiet gegaan.

Good

Not so bad, I can confidently say this is the best Aerosmith album I've heard so far as most of their shit sounds completely cheesy and dated. This is pretty solid, has some super anthemic guitar passages, doesn't feel overproduced. The energy is there. Still, the vocals aren't all that, the raunchiness doesn't always work either. Apparently this was one of Kurt Cobain's favorite albums and all I can say is I'm glad it didn't seem to influence him that much.

This album has a few good numbers on it. Never thought it was one of their better LPs though. Back in The Saddle is a really good one.

Again with Aerosmith. They do seem to be the darlings of that 70s US rock scene with the critics, where as other bands don’t get a look in it seems. Just find them underwhelming, in their case they seem to have the right style (over substance.) Ever album I have heard of theirs On here I have heard many times before, I have gone in in a positive but come out flat. They are what they are, and guess just not into that anymore, 3 star

This is a victim of "there is better by them" and I am openly wondering if this is on the list as a "oh did you know they did THIS" Back in the saddle is a bad ass tune, but unless you are judging this to other blues albums (and yes, Aerosmith is a blues band) this isn't great. As blues albums go, this is fantastic. But then again, no one is calling Aerosmith blues, even though they are absolutely blues. Get a Grip? Permanent Vacation? Pump? Done with Mirrors? all fantastic. I would even say Toys in the Attic is absolutely a must listen. This is not. But... it's a great blues album.

Definitely an Aerosmith record. Less polished, heavier Stones, with some of the shouty '70s rock thrown in. Can see the influence on '80s heavy metal. Not a lot of variety in the songs.

"Rocks" is a really solid classic rock album. I wish I liked it more. There's nothing wrong with it, exactly, I just only found a few of the songs catch me at all - "Back in the Saddle," "Last Child," "Rats in the Cellar," and "Nobody's Fault." Which - now that I think of it, is not quite half of the album's material. Maybe I need to spend more time with it, but - as it stands - THREE STARS

3.5/5

Loved the way this started, first tracks production sound and riffs were immediate and awesome sounding. Surprisingly funky and groovey though it fell off for me at the end. Good album if I’m looking for this vibe specifically

el buen rock

Some unique riffs. Everyone here really knows their instruments. Missing a real standout song though.

Starts out great but hard in my book to beat Toys in the Attic or their debut album (which is my favorite before Steven Tyler became more Steven Tyler as time went on).

Good Album, just had nothing really sticking after listen...

Sailing on the seas of FM radio, my only companions, Blacklight Zepp, Baby ‘Stache, and Feathered Roach Clip.

“Back In The Saddle” is a banger of a song, and the rest of the album is good, but not great. A pretty strong first half, but then it fades significantly as it goes on. I understand why Pump and Toys In The Attic are on the list, but I feel like we could have skipped this one.

Pretty fun rock album. Like that one reviewer said, though, the guitars have some pretty terrible mixing/recording, despite them being great. Favorite Songs: Back In the Saddle, Nobody's Fault, Get The Lead Out

Starts rocking, but goes through the blander in the end.

When this chugs along in is pomp you can hear the Nirvana influence in the likes of Nobody's Fault. You can absolutely here the G'N'R influence throughout and I love that it has a huge legacy. It's nowhere near as complete as Toys in the Attic however and has a fair amount of filler. Decent overall, but it's not something I'm rushing out to own.

It's aight. Doesn't hit like it used to rolling around in a lime green Pontiac Sunfire with a long grass high high.

I’m not an Aerosmith guy. It was OK

Jeg kunne fint have nøjes med 1 Aerosmith album fra 70’erne selvom de to på listen begge er helt fine. Minder meget om hinanden

Fed tråd osv!

Decent rock album. Less nasal than I thought.

This was ok. I'm not a huge Aerosmith fan but it was some good classic dad rock.

Aerosmith is hit or miss for me. The first 4 tracks are mostly hit with only a narrow miss in there. The rest of the album is fairly aggressively mid. 3 stars.

I knew the first song but had never heard the rest. It was ok. I was expecting a little more.

Cheesy rock album.

Well, this should be interesting… Yeah. Not really feeling this today. Appreciate it. But… yeah. 3 Boolean: True? Cause some other band I like said so? Cause Rolling Stone mag gives them props?

When I look at some of their similarities—the flamboyant, often raunchy, large-lipped singer, and the interplay with the equally famous guitarist—it's interesting to hear that The Rolling Stones considered Aerosmith a cheap imitation. Both featured blues-based rock, though Aerosmith served as more of a bridge from classic rock to metal. All of that said, this particular album—from a time when Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and crew were about to go off the rails with their drug use and exhaustion from touring—wasn't the greatest but offered clues to how the band would evolve, capping the album with a ballad. Back in the Saddle, the opening track, seems to be the only song with staying power from this one.

Day929 - eh, i like back in the saddle and last child but the rest didn’t do anything for me

Average

Good album

A raw and consistent record that can be a bit exhausting at times

It's the feeling after the first glass of alcohol when you are energized but also super relaxed. Fierce engagement soars, only to be outmatched by the lack of inhibitions. There's a swagger in your strut, or so it feels.

A lot of the songs sound the same. Not bad, but lacking in variety.

3 out of 5. This was certainly short but better than I thought for a first full listen of an Aerosmith album.

Boring rock music. But not even bad.

Not bad, but it has this AC/DC vibe I don’t really like.

Aina Aerosmithille löytyy pehmeä paikka minusta

I've always preferred earlier Arrosmith, their first album is one of my favorite albums. So this gets a solid 3 from me.

Worthwhile as an excellent example of the classic style of hard rock that typified 70s FM radio – Aerosmith are definitely in the middle tier of classic rock groups, but their albums (at least back then) were never outright bad, and you could always count on a few tracks that rose above the rest. This time the standout is “Back in the Saddle,” the title line of which Steven Tyler sings so throat-scrapingly hugely that you can’t resist singing along with him. Better than some, worse than others, but certainly nothing embarrassing (as opposed to quite a few of this group’s later records). Best track: “Back in the Saddle”

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Solid 70s groove all the way through.

...

Not bad, but not as good as I would expect from Aerosmith.

A beautiful opening song, Back in the Saddle is really the best of the lot. Hard to believe this song came out in the mid-70's. There are a few good songs on here, but the latter half is just ok. Better to buy the "Best of" album.

Solid rock. Quality stuff. Is it a 4? Maybe I'll return and give it a 4 (bump)

So shmid

I still prefer later Aerosmith than their older stuff. But a decent album altogether

Eh, not the best, not the worst.

It is strange but it is not impressive, unfortunately.

Not bad

Not big fan of it

My guitar teacher once said to me that Aerosmith were funky like a New Orleans band, and you can hear it in this album. Guitar riffs that could be horn lines and bass lines that are elastic and groovy. You can also hear the beginnings of glam metal before those bands sucked all the funkiness out. A solid but unremarkable piece of work

Buono ma non il mio genere

Favorite songs: Back in the Saddle, Last Child, Combination, Nobody’s Fault

Album 228. Rocks (https://open.spotify.com/album/5Uv5LmSKTT9okGkr3l9MjR?si=GuiZBMBiR_iJdooy-K005g) — Aerosmith (1976) Same vibes as it was with their Toys In The Attic album 3/5 Liked: — Back In the Saddle — Rats In The Cellar

I found this to be one of the weaker Aerosmith albums personally. Some good moments, but not enough to elevate this above "Toys in the Attic" or really anything else that was released around this time. Just an OK listening experience.

super mellow 80s rock that was a fun short listen

I've been begging for some classic rock (not obscure Brit shoegazer bands) for awhile and this week delivers Yes & Aerosmith. I am not sure if "Rocks" gets the nod but I see that "Pump" and "Toys In The Attic" are both included as well. "Back in the Saddle" & "Last Child" are the two hits this album is known for and were included on their first greatest hits collection (which I beat to death in high school). After that it's 7 seventies rockers with "Rats In The Cellar" and "Sick As A Dog" standing out from the rest. I thought "Nobody's Fault" sure sounded like a Zep song and you could feel the influence this song must've had on the 80's metal wave. While it's a good album, it's not great from top to bottom. It's not memorable, the firepower is only adequate compared to a number of their other albums and the longevity of this one isn't that strong. 3 stars.

couple of great songs, repetitive after that.

It's a cool 70's glam rock album, starts off with 2 rocking tracks and goes a bit downhill from there. Couple really cheesy tunes but they follow them with some rockers like Nobody's Fault. Tyler's vocal style gets a bit grating for me after a few songs, great for a bit but after 15 or 20 minutes it has worn out it's welcome. The band is tight and they provide some kick ass riffs to rock out too. Glam rockers and 70's hard rock fans should appreciate this one.

Pretty solid classic rock album, learned a few new songs I didn’t know before. 3 stars

Pretty standard sort of stuff. Nothing I particularly liked.

honestly i thought this would be much worse than it is, but instead it strikes me as an album that was probably crazy hard when it dropped in the mid 70s but by this point its like. kind of just lost to the sea of "classic" rock? idk its solid enough, there's a lot of great guitar work and i enjoy the high energy of "rats in the cellar" especially, but i think it kinda suffers from hard rock/heavy metal becoming such overcrowded genres? its definitely above average for it but when there's this much competition i feel like they'd really have to blow me the fuck away to stand out. like, it's not topping paranoid, yknow? im giving this a 3 for now but i will concede that these guys are really fucking good at ending their tracks, and i can already see myself coming back and just flicking thru the last 30 seconds or so of each one, so maybe ill come to appreciate it more with time. or maybe i wont. who can say....

sounds good and clean but that's it. nothing really stood out, almost felt like listening to some generic rock music. this album definitely lacks the distinctiveness you hear in their hit songs.

Starts off strong, but fades to predictability pretty quickly. Not sure we need both this album AND Toys in the Attic, a far superior effort from the group that preceded it.

Dear god another aerosmith? Not as bad as the last one i guess

p363. 1976. 3 stars. In the day, Aerosmith were contenders for the best rock band in the world. This is short, sweet and tight at just 34 minutes. All it's missing are standout tracks.

It’s good. Singer is good. Instruments sound good. But I can’t tell this apart from any other dad rock I’ve heard before.

Third 'classic rock' album in a row and the second from 1976. I didn't mind this. It made for good company in the gym. Solid. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ ★★★☆☆ (6/10) Total reviewed : 337 Already owned : 76 Purchased : 16 To buy : 3 Nope : 242

Besides a few good songs, it was just okay. Easy listening.

A classic.

Here's a band with a strong best of collection in my adolescent memory. This album, is not the best of collection, and I felt it very, average.

3/5

Ei niin hyvä levy kuin muut, mutta ihan perus hyvää. Back In The Saddle tietenkin kova. Vähän sellasta jykevämpää kampetta. Parhaat: Back In Thw Saddle, Nobody's Fault

decent rock album

Not as great as toys in the attic but I still liked it a whole lot. Some super catchy songs and back in the saddle is a RIPPER

Solid but not as ripping as toys in the attic. Some nice times though

Not bad, not great either. Aerosmith was still an a couple of albums from their prime. There were a couple of gems here but they were still seemingly forming their identity.

6.5/10

Much better than I thought it would be. I'd heard back in the same and last child but there were a few good numbers and a few clinkers.

Gritty bluesy rock. The hits are memorable. The filler is... filler. It's fun to listen to, but immediately fades from memory.

Funky at times. But meh on the whole.

This was fine for me. I’m not a huge rock fan, so this all sounded pretty much the same. 3/5.

Just a kick ass rock and roll record. Nobody’s fault is an amazing song. Never realized how good Aerosmith was. Glad to listen to these classics. 3.5. But not 4.

The start of Hair Metal? Passable album but I'll probably never listen to it again.

6/10 It's fine, but it is not on the same level as Led Zep. It's not even on either of the two below. It misses the invention, I guess, which makes it feel quite a cold, formulaic kind of rock.

Ah, ça fait bien plaisir ! Moi qui désespère d’avoir des albums de metal un peu cool (à quand Iron Maiden ou même Metallica ?), tomber sur un vieux hard rock des années 70 pas très éloigné du genre, ça me convient très bien ! Bon, je me suis écouté ça à 5h30 du matin après avoir dormi 4 heures donc mon jugement est quelque peu altéré, mais c’était quand même un album franchement sympa ! Ce genre de hard rock, c’est bien ma came et même si j’aurais bien écouté un petit Judas Priest de la même décennie, je suis très satisfait de mon écoute ! Bon, cependant, on n’oublie pas ma petite règle : les gens douteux, c’est minimum une étoile de moins, donc ce sera un petit 3 bien mid parce qu’il faut pas déconner !

Helt ok, ikke det mest interessante jeg har hørt. Kul gammel driv, liker godt musikken men det treffer ikke i dag

Pretty generic, it sounds like other Aerosmith albums but less good. No standout tracks, but I do like this style of guitar music generally

When I was young, maybe 8 years old, I was on vacation with my family in Hawai'i. I was tossing a baseball with my beloved dad on the warm, soft sand of Maui when, as if he were Poseidon himself, I witnessed Steven Tyler in all of his androgynous glory emerge from the sea draped by two gorgeous women on either side of him. My dad, a proud Bostonian and lover of classic rock, noticed him immediately, for how could he not. I recognized him as the guy with long hair who sang the national anthem at Patriots games. Mr. Tyler looked at me and said "hey kid! throw me the ball!", so of course I did. To this day, my love of Steven Tyler is a byproduct of this admittedly awesome experience. My love of Steven Tyler is not, though, a byproduct of his band making genuinely incredible music. Rocks is an easy listen and undoubtedly ahead of its time. That said, the time for which this album is ahead of is not a particularly remarkable one. One would think that this album came out in the '80s, as the meandering laziness of ZZ Top, nails-on-a-chalkboard screeches of David Lee Roth, and glam-metal bullshit of Judas Priest dominated rock airwaves. I have been forced -- against my wishes, to be sure -- to listen to those three "artists" for this project. Their drab performances have been reacted to with appropriate ratings: two stars for Van Halen and one star for ZZ Top and Judas Priest. Sonically, Rocks features many similarities to these other artists. However, it came out in 1976. For its time, it was heavy and probably perceived to be alternative to the pop-oriented, orchestral, and sophisticated psychedelia sounds that emerged after The Beatles called it quits. For that reason, this album is good. Not great, but good. For 1976, it was ahead of its time. And though the time that this album paved a path for was uninspiring and dull, I cannot, in good faith, fault Aerosmith for that. Plus, Dusty Hill nor David Lee Roth played catch with me on a beach in Hawai'i in my childhood. Mr. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith did. Favorite track: Back In the Saddle

After Pump, I was ready to hate this and damn it's pretty good. Not quite the highs of Toys, but solid. Probably 3.5 for me

5/10

Eh, it was fine, nothing particularly noteworthy.

This is fine. Again, the list is too classic rock heavy. We don't need to hear Aerosmiths 4th album

Great record. They sound so much more rock on this record than they do in their later year material, which is what I grew up with more during the 90s. Tyler sounds more rugged and badass along with the unique and almost psych instrumentation backing him. Really solid release.

Honestly not bad for hard rock Fav track: Back in the Saddle

я ничего не запомнила и даже ещё раз переслушала на свежую голову в понедельник и ещё раз ничего не запомнила! найс!

🥴🥴🥴

Я не особливо фанат Аеросмітів, не можу сказати, що колись багато слухав. Є хороші хіти, є хіти які мене харять. Цей веселий хард-рок/хеві альбом з хорошими гітарами. Загалом приємний досвід, хоч мені й трохи не вистачило хайлайтів на альбомі.

З усього батяроку я завжди хейтив аеросміт чи не найбільше, але цей альбом якось несподівано був доволі забавним.

nice enough

It's a pretty fun album, but nothing special.

Overall, this was an alright album with not too many popular songs, but I can imagine this coming out in 1976 and being super cool. Nowadays, it is still alright and it's nice leaving it in the background.

it's decent but surprisingly a little too short

Inte min favorit med Aerosmith även om jag gillar 70-tals rocken de spelar. Rats in the cellar var den enda låt jag tyckte stack ut, positivt. Ett nja från mig.

A good album, I liked Last Child the most.

Standard Aerosmith. Camp and glam.

Aerosmith is second-string classic rock, never reaching the heights of many other bands - I'm talking their output in the '70s. As a precursor to '80s hair metal/pop metal, this record is fine. "Back In the Saddle" and "Last Child" are a great 1-2 punch, but the record just fizzles from there.

I hate to admit it…but I enjoyed more than a couple of songs here

Never been a huge fan of Steven Tyler as a vocalist. Still, this was entertaining. Just not enough for me to want to listen to this again per se. 3/5

Forgettable

3.5

6/10

Another bluesy rock album by white dudes. At least this one kind of rocks. It was good to hear Aerosmith before they became the cheesy ballad band.

It was a good album and they have good guitar. It wasn't as good as others.

This is really rockin' and I appreciate that most of the lyrics don't give me the ick like the last Aerosmith album we had (with the exception of Lick and a Promise, of course they couldn't produce an album without at least one mention of young girls). It didn't do much for me, but the band's talent is on pretty full display here.

Didn't really do anything for me, it was OK I guess

Lekkere wegluistermuziek, niet mega spannend

Why were we out of the saddle?? This is what I needed after the smiths tbh. Morrisey has a singular ability make you feel worthless and lonely snd chungis. Ok man you can stop screaming I get it. I understand. Ur good man I get it. This is kinda annoying. Just making noise. Not much to say it's a good classic rock album. Aerosmith is really good they're here for a reason. Is there a difference to me from every other 70s white guy rock album?? No absolutely not they're genuinely interchangeable. But it's chill. I can still enjoy it. It's probably somebody's fault. Like. Realistically. Get the lead out of what. Favourite: Home Tonight Least favourite: Combination

Aerosmith sound like a parody rock band of the 70s/80s. I think that's a sort of complement. Not a big fan but it was OK.

Pretty boring, nothing of massive interest here 🥱

Well, that was greatly disappointing. I guess I had different tastes back then. Of course, Back in the saddle and Last Child are great. But from there, the songs kept getting less interesting, more banal until Home Tonight hit rock bottom (not stressing rock!). I made it to the end!!! Yay, for me. I'm being generous: 3 boring mediocre stars. (Should be 2?)

When I was growing up in the 90's, I would occasionally hear an older acquaintance opine, "believe it or not, Aerosmith was pretty good back in the day." Obviously, I would not. I suppose this must be, at least in part, what they were referring to. And I guess they were right. About three stars worth of right anyway.

I don't dislike Aerosmith, but I've never really been that into them either. They were always a little too kitschy for my tastes. Hard rock that you go to because your girlfriend was into it and you could tolerate. Also, Steven Tyler is a major perv.

Aerosmith sounds like they are sitting on the cusp of legit rock music and some more pop inspired radio friendly genre. In their later years they lean further toward the latter but with this album I can still hear the genuine desire to play loud rock music. It makes me wonder if they stuck out this sound more where this band would go. They seem like great songwriters, decent musicians and have a good ear for a hook. Ultimately this album doesn't really give me much more , I think I'll stick to Aerosmith as a greatest hits band.

This is one of the artists I knew I’d have to face eventually when I started the generator; I’ve always had an irrational dislike of Aerosmith and rather than figure out what it was I disliked, I’ve just ignored their existence for years. I did try to get into Aerosmith back when all I would listen to was classic rock. At the time, Led Zeppelin was my favourite band and Aerosmith kind of felt like a cheap knock off of them. Listening now, I realize they’re not so much a knock off Led Zeppelin, they’re more so classic rock’s next step towards hair metal. With that in mind, they kind of make more sense to me and I have the same thoughts as with any hair metal. Is it quality music? No, not really. Is it kind of fun? Yes, absolutely.

the album started off great, loved the starting songs but as it reached the end idk what happened but i guess it lost its charm, and personally i did not like it that much, but a few songs were super good

It's probably the third time I'm listening to this album in 10 years. I think last time was at least 5 years ago. Surprisingly, a much better album than I remembered! They sound great, the songwriting is really nice. Yeah, the sound is not my specific cup of tea, but you can't deny that the band really had a sound here. I used to think of the album as 32 minutes of mess leading to Home Tonight (my favorite Aerosmith song), but to be fair, there's much more quality to the record. 1, 2 , 6 , 4 are all bangers , in their own way. I'd give it a solid, high 3.

Of course the vocals are incredible but the lyrics are dull and execution is lacking. I like the instrumentation, but this lacks the glam of full blown hair metal and isn’t quite metal. Just messy middle

Some good stuff

More albums should be 9 tracks and 35 minutes in length. This feels solid rather than spectacular, but it inspired James Hetfield, amongst others, so I'm thankful for that.

It’s almost impressive how little an impression this made on me. It completely went in one ear and out the other. Standard hard rock/blues rock. Impressive riffs, I guess, and not annoying, but disappointingly bland. 2.5

Good listen

I guess if you had to put one Aerosmith album in here, this isn't a bad one to throw in.

Dirty white boy blues, not quite as magical as the stones but still pretty great, although a couple songs lagged.

it's 3.5

Probably the best Aerosmith record I've listened to, but it's still not what I'd consider to be great. "Last Child" is the standout track of the record and I really do rate that one. Otherwise, it's pretty middle of the road stuff. I'm sure it hit the spot a bit more in 1976, but doesn't do a great deal for me.

I’m not that into Aerosmith, but this is better than most of their albums.

rock album from an average rock band

Не лежит душа к Aerosmith.

Just kinda noisy

Nice old rock tunes from the first great times of the band.

2.8 Second Aerosmith this week, which is quite unlucky. It wasn't as good as the one earlier (toys in the attic), but at least it was better than the nonsense that was Pump. There wasn't really any stand out tracks here, all seemed quite bland 70s rock, which is unfortunate as I reckon there's some absolute gems in that genre we're missing that could have replaced this (I've not got long left and I still haven't seen Master of Reality, just saying...)

More like Aerosmith SUCKS. Nah I’m kidding. Aerosmith is a band I’ve never had strong feelings about positive or negative. This is fine. Definitely think a song like Rats in the Cellar is them at their best. The biggest problem with the album is the lyrics which are consistently ass. I’m not really sure how any grown adult can hear Get the Lead Out and be like, yeah this is quality music.

Chyba nigdy nie będę fanką Aerosmith. Męczy mnie bardzo, mam wrażenie że to taki gładki rock dla starych, białych facetów. Nic ofensywnego, ale też nic ciekawego. Poprawne 6/10

It's... Fine... It's just not my thing.

Good

It's pretty good, I just think Aerosmith lack a classic album

The last Aerosmith album on here I liked more than expected, this one less. Perfectly fine but no standouts for me.

23# Its definitely a rock album from the 80s rocks? well yeah, not so much though

Solid classic rock album, and though I’m not a huge Aerosmith fan I liked it more than I was expecting, especially the guitars.

Meh

Didn't like it, but realistically I can't put it any lower, looking at the other albums I've had to rate. Disappointed.

7/10

Aerosmith at their best is still mid overall. Favorite track: Home Tonight

Loved this record as a young pre-teen but now I see through its faults and cracks. Still a good record but not as great as I once thought it was. I loved Back in the Saddle and still do.

3.5/5 I'm not a big fan of Aerosmith but this seems like their best

Just not hitting the spot

I enjoyed this album more than I expected, never been a fan of Aerosmiths music. Just pretty tight all round, nothing exceptional but a very listenable album

This album certainly does rock! Screamy guitars and vocals let you know that this is Aerosmiths most rock-heavy work (if you couldn’t tell by the title of the album). And it does work… mostly! I was bopping along to the vast majority of songs. Now for the criticisms. It sounds like it was recorded with a police tape recorder, so the quality of sound isn’t amazing. The lyrics are not good at all - nothing too problematic, but just a bit shit. Overall, I was expecting a turd, but it was actually surprisingly chocolate shaped like a turd. I’ll take it. 5/10

Yeah it was ok. Felt it waned a little bit after the first 3 tracks which I really enjoyed. Didn't really enjoy it as much after that. Then again, not the biggest fan of Aerosmith in general so it exceeded expectations that's for sure.

Nolan, a second Aerosmith album has hit the list (in the last 3)

Oh. Aerosmith. Time to separate the art from the artist again, because Steven Tyler has a dumpster fire where his personality ought to be. Yep, good guitar, good drums, Steven fucking Tyler on vocals. Decent enough on average.

opens strong, grimy and surprisingly funky // cool-heavy riffs, tight grooves, immediate energy // first stretch feels loose and dangerous in a good way // starts to blur midway through though, same tones and tempos recycling // the back half of the record drags, loses the bite it promised at the start // honestly, the half-hour runtime is a mercy // solid moments, but not consistently gripping or interesting // def didnt convert me into an aerosmith fan // not their strongest record, more of a stamina test than revelation

nice!

Aerosmith are like the Bud light of hard rock. I’d never choose it for myself but I’ll take it if that’s all that’s available. This is one of their better records. It’s got some funky, almost Bowiesque grooves and fun guitar work. I had a tape of it as a kid that I think I bought at a gas station convenience store, which strikes me as appropriate.

Last child is a good one

Bon. C'était sympa mais sans plus, je m'attendais peut être à mieux d'un groupe aussi culte parce que pour le coup l'ambiance assez générique et un peu vieille, les sonorités pas forcément au rendez vous, et une voix bien plus mise en arrière contribuent en grande partie à une certaine déception quant à ce que j'espèrais. Tant pis, sinon l'album en lui même reste écoutable avec même certains sons très sympatiques mais rien qui ne me capte particulièrement

Same as all the other Aerosmith I’ve listened to, adequate but unsatisfying somehow!

It's fine. Nothing special but enjoyable nonetheless.

Rock de pai divorciado

Trip down memory lane

Perfectly alright. This kind of 80s rock is completely listenable, but doesn’t do a lot for me. Aerosmith is okay.

My 16 yr old self would have rated this higher but looking back, this isn’t as good as their earlier albums.

Has all the components of a great album but somehow doesn't move me. Might need to spend more time with it but until then it's 3*

I don't recall having come across a more consistent Aerosmith album. Each song works, and fits in well with the others. This is likely as good as Aerosmith is going to get for me.

A mostly forgettable Aerosmith album. It had a few songs I enjoyed and it definitely sounded like Aerosmith. Nothing crazy.

Rocks starts with the very best track on the album and doesn't really reach that level again. It's quite an influential album for sure, but not really one of the best or most interesting ones. I like a few of the songs but some are just a bit mediocre or forgettable to me. The musicianship here is pretty simple, so if there isn't a great riff to keep the track going it kind of loses my interest. Still fun to listen to.

Great rock band, led by a unique singer, and performer. Good music. One of the top rock groups ever.

The first few tracks, especially last child, gave me hope that this would be a killer album. Unfortunately the rest fell flat on its face

It rocks.

fine

This is a pretty fun album and Steven Tyler’s vocals are impressive as always. It rides the line between ZZ Top and Led Zep, meaning it has some of that 70s and 80s cheesiness, and some of the cooler rock elements.

Good rock. I think only familiar with one specific song, the rest were new to me and had good energy. Don't think it necessarily stood out as a record I needed to hear once, but it was an alright time

Love Aerosmith (first concert!), and this album was fun, but I don't think I'll be returning to it too often.

Eh it’s Aerosmith, not my favorite, but fine.

As with Madonna, I really hope that this isn't Aerosmith's only album on the list. I didn't hate this, but also didn't love it. I was only familiar with the first 2 tracks (Back in the Saddle and Last Child) and neither would crack my top 5 Aerosmith songs.

Aerosmith, pride of Boston, like the band, don’t love them. Great opening song, but that’s about it.

This album does indeed rock.

Competent but I expected more, this is a bit too conventional (or was imitated a lot) 3.2

Pretty boring actually!

It was fine

It’s another impressive 70s ‘Smith album. It rocks and it’s funky in all the right places. For me it always lacks a certain magic when compared to Toys in the Attic. If we had half stars, this would be 3.5 but since I can’t allow myself to score it as highly as TitA, it gets demoted to 3; I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it, but that is a little harsh.

I was feeling quite excited to listen to an album of Aerosmith songs that I havent heard a millions times. And this album is in fact a collection of Aerosmith songs that I havent heard before. But it sort of felt like I had. Here and there you can hear where other artists have been influenced by this album. Like Ian Dury (Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll) from Last Child. Or Tenacious D (Car Chase City) from Rats in the Cellar. Overall it was good, but didnt make feel like I wanted to listen to it a second time. (2.780)

This album from Aerosmith is pretty much rock/hard rock, with “Back in the Saddle” as the best track in my opinion. Toys In the Attic is a better record, probably their best album. There were a few singles from this one, but overall it gets three stars.

There’s some really decent songs on this. The opener, Back in the Saddle, really sets the tone and feels powerful and triumphant. Other songs like Combination standout. However, a lot of it does merge into one, with some tracks lacking any real definition or their own identity. It ends up making the album feel longer that it’s fairly brisk 35 min runtime.

I’m sure this was pretty cutting edge when it came out, but now it sounds like rock music for people who have heard rock music exists - people who’s favourite Beatles album is ‘Best of The Beatles’. Not bad, but dated and now sounds unimaginative.

bête de découverte intro de fou, mais pas assez lourd pour taper un 4

Had much of what made later Aerosmith great, but peters out by the end.

Álbum legal como esperado, nenhuma música marcante, mas energia boa. Nada a comentar. Rock n Roll. 3*

3 or 4 out 5 pretty good

Not the best Aerosmith album but it was a nice listen. I wouldn't mind hearing any track in the background while I'm doing something else but it's not something I would listen to actively

Pretty much what I epxected

not bad, not too exciting. love the blues elements when they pop up

aerosmth is possibly one of my least favorite bands to come out of the "classic" rock area of the 70s and 80s. i have yet to be impressed with any of their albums thus far. their songs, for me, range from just straight up Bad to Just Okay in terms of quality. This album was mostly Just Okay.

Joar. Stabiles 70er hardrock Album… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3 Sterne, vor 40 Jahren wären es 5 gewesen!

I’ve never particularly been a big fan of Aerosmith, and I think this album helps that mindset persist. This set of hard rock tracks doesn’t particularly do much for me, aside from some neat guitar parts and classic vocals from Steven Tyler. There’s just not too much that I thought was very interesting, these songs are just okay to me. There’s not a whole lot, or anything, for me to really dislike. I wasn’t bored per se, just uninterested. The attitude that’s very much prevalent in these tracks doesn’t really do a lot for me either. Sadly, Aerosmith’s mediocrity continues to simmer for me. Maybe I can come back around, but for now they still cease to impress me in any great way. While I can see the appeal, as I said I just don’t find this as interesting or intriguing as it could’ve been.

A bit repetitive

Album 536 for me. There's been so much rock in that 536 that I was expecting to dismiss this quickly as an unnecessary inclusion. I'm also at a stage of life where I rarely seek out rock to listen to (or maybe it's because I hear it anyway, on here!) But it's a decent rock album, with some highlights. I think it's better than Pump, and as good as some of the Van Halen that I've been known to enjoy (it sounded a lot like them in places). I didn't love every track, and agree with another reviewer that the sound could be cleaner. But I liked the sleazy vibe, and Combination was particularly good.

Kind of all the same. Couldn’t get into it.

I was ready to rock, and rock I did!

The invention of riff based music.

Pretty good rock, but did not leave me much of an impression. I did not save anything in my playlist, but enjoyed it.

Fun Aerosmith record. I kind of did a double take when I read that this came out in 1976, after their self titled, after "Toys in the Attic", because to me this one feels a little less refined and a little more raw. It's a contrast compared to those albums, but I have to admit that I think that Aerosmith is at their best when they are doing classic rock in a big arena rock style, with larger than life tracks with amazingly memorable choruses. And this album is a little more down to earth than that.

Great guitar riffs! Certainly an experience. But after dozens of rock albums (and rock is not really my kind of genre)… sigh. But yeah I like the instrumentation a lot. Rocks.

Pretty eh.

Some solid songs and an overall good sound. I think I like more of their other more confident and grandiose albums.

Better than expected with some nice surprises. Favorite songs: Back In the Saddle, Last Child

Aerosmith always seemed like the black sheep of the rock ‘n’ roll family. It came in too late for the metal scene, it came in too late for the hard rock scene; it wasn’t yacht rock, and it was too hard for pop. In many ways, it feels like their best work came about 7 to 10 years too late or 20 years too early. Rock changed, but they were still serving up go-to old-school classic guitar rock at the time when the industry was changing. Back in the Saddle is still one of the best classic rock songs with an unmistakable intro. Last Child, track #2, had that dirty rock feel and is a fun song. All the songs on this album are pretty solid but songs like Rat in the Seller and Combination I could see getting caught behind Presence-era Led Zeppelin, and bands like Grand Funk Railroad, which were just nailing it. Songs like Nobody’s Fault almost had even a Black Sabbath style riff to it, which, with the emergence of punk, would’ve just disappeared. This is a good album, but I get how we got lost in the time in the scene.

Random thoughts: * First track is a banger! I kind of forget this as an awesome Aerosmith track. * This is a classic 70s rocker overall. * Did Aerosmith have a thing for Zeppelin (like all of us do)? "Get The Lead Out" and "Nobody's Fault" * This was better than some of the other 70s rock albums on 1001: Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy * Sometimes forget Aerosmith is from the 70s due to their huge influences in the 80s and 90s. * I could come get my rocks off to this one again.

512/1001

Solid 70s rock. I played my dad's LP, just randomly recalling that I had it. I think most people are familiar with the first song, but I know of Nobody's Fault because Testament covered it on The New Order.

This... rocks Ha But not all the way

I think albums that sound good but aren’t memorable at all are the worst to rank. Like yes. It’s good. I will forget about this so fast

Mostly just a one hit album, with maybe "Nobody's Fault" meriting inclusion as well. I don't think I would have included the whole album on this list. I would have included either PUMP or GET A GRIP instead. I thought the songs they wrote and produced in the late 80s and early 90s were far superior to most of their 70s work.

3.5 i dont usually listen to music like this but its very cool

Light 3

The more I listen to Aerosmith, the more I feel like so many songs sound the same. It’s lost some magic for me.

Standard “classic” rock album for someone in my generation. Fine, listenable, but didn’t blow me away. Hadn’t heard Last Child in awhile, so that was nice.

Just barely not a 4

Wasn’t terrible!

That's a real rock, 3.5+

It starts strong with two bangers but then peters out

Eh. Little bit harder than the 2000s stuff, but still not great.

Zuhause, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Ganz okay.

Surprisingly good and bears repeat listening with songs that worm there way to the memory. Still not my favourite kind of thing to come back to, but beats the far more revealed Back to Black for my money.

In some respects this wasn’t as bad as I feared but I had VERY low expectations for it. Was all a bit naff though. It’s aged poorly and although it didn’t have the cheese of some of their later works, does very little for me.

Look I love Steven Tyler's voice, Perry's guitar, and whoever the bass guy is. Love the energy, I bet they put on a banger of a live show. But the lyrics are really boring, which was kinda shocking.

Favorite tracks: Back In the Saddle, Sick As A Dog

We need a scientific study of this album. It’s only 35 minute long, but every one of the 9 songs feels like it lasts 5 whole minutes. The math just doesn’t math and I need answers. If you like guitar rock and/or Steven Tyler's voice, you'll enjoy this one.

Not my style but I do like a couple of their songs. 2.5

Ive always had a soft spot for Aerosmith. Not my favourite album but pretty decent.

I find a lot of Aerosmith pre-MTV to be pretty average at best. This album is a good example

“I never really understood what was so great about Aerosmith until now”, is not something I said after this album. Ok at best.

You know what? It's a solid hard rock album. But not one of the alltime greats.

I'm not a fan of Aerosmith, but this album was solid.

Pretty good riffs and decent sound overall.

This was much better than I expected. I am very much not an Aerosmith fan although I do give them huge props for the Run D.M.C. collab that was transformational. But this album was solid beginning to end. Perry's high voice didn't grate on my nerves nearly as much as typical and the music beneath was rocking.

Rock rock rock Pomeeeeeeelo 7/10

3- Stars (7/15)

Enjoyable classic rock album - wasn't familiar with this album over Aerosmiths later work. Strong opener.

ok?

Fun to hear young Aerosmith. Pretty funky!

Aerosmith Rocks, bit they are definitely not deep lyricists. Enjoyed this as a throwback, but not their best work. 3⭐️

3?

macht gute Laune

Probably the best aerosmith I've heard.

Fun record

I've never been the biggest fan of Aerosmith. In fact I've always thought of them as being a tad bit overrated. This was the first time I listened to a full album of theirs. It is a very solid piece of rock and roll but doesn't do much to sway my overall perception of the band. I might give it a 3.5/5 if I could, but for the sake of this experience it gets a 3/5. Solid but not good enough to push into 4/5 territory.

Classic Aerosmith was pretty cool. Pre hair metal and quite funky

Starts out with a few bangers. Fizzled out by the halfway point for me, though. I liked this more than Pump. 👍Back In the Saddle, Last Child

This one didn’t make much of an impression on me tbh. I enjoyed it while it was playing and then afterwards couldn’t remember much about listening to it. Really struggling to have an opinion on it, which is odd cos there’s nothing I object to when listening? Maybe it’s just the headspace I was in. My one real thought is that Home Tonight works really well as the end of the album. Fav: Sick As A Dog Least fav: Get The Lead Out

Bit too loud for me and lots of the songs sounded the same. Didn't hate it but didn't love it. Favourite song: Combination Least: Back in the saddle

Volvemos al reto después de una pequeña pausa con Aerosmith, otra de las bandas de las que sólo he escuchado temas sueltos: encaro por primera vez un disco de ellos. Full hardrockero, suena de a momentos proto-Guns y hasta Metallica ("Rats in the cellar" es un gran ejemplo) como reseña la entrada de Wikipedia. Éste género nunca fue lo mío, salvo en algún que otro momento de la adolescencia (con los Guns), pero destaco que el disco va, pese a que no me conmovió lo suficiente. Hasta mañana

The riffs can be really interesting, even if the lyrics are still pretty preteen boy edginess. But it just has a vibe of genericness. It is 'rock music', nothing more and nothing less.

Not old enough to actually like dadrock

A solid output from the 70s Aerosmith growing their brand and classic sound.

Some interesting licks here and there. Joe Perry has such a good way of making interesting riffs. Pretty straight forward and cool rock n roll. Sick as a Dog was actually pretty interesting and hadn't heard that before. Fine album

Wannabe Led Zeppelin but not all bad. Had its ups and downs.

No hits on, but the album rocks solid from start to finish. Weak three stars. favourite: "Rats In The Cellar" 2,5

Classic

One of their best.

A bit too raw for me

Solid 70s hard rock. They get called the American Zeppelin and this album is a good example of why... however I would much rather listen to any Zeppelin album. Solid guitar work, vocals and songs, just nothing too special in my opinion.

pretty OK.. Not really my jam, but probably pretty exciting in 1976

This album just wasn't really for me. Its the standard classic rock you heard on the radio growing up and had on in the background. Perfectly fine but not memorable.

Some interesting moments on this one. Occasionally occupies the same sonic space as Alice Cooper. Maybe also spends a brief minute at the crossroads of punk and rock....I might be imagining that one. Like MC5 or something. Better than the later era smooth brained, ballad heavy content.

After the opening track “Back in the Saddle,” this album drops off into entirely boring ’70s rock. Nothing else comes close to matching the energy of the intro.

La definición sonora del hard rock clásico. No sabía que Aerosmith había comenzado en los años 70, es algo que me sorprendió. Claramente es un sonido que inspiró a muchísimas bandas en los 80s y 90s. No es un estilo que me guste particularmente, pero la voz trabaja muy bien y los instrumentos tienen mucho groove. La calidad de sonido es decente, pero he escuchado mejores grabaciones de la época. Todo el álbum es consistente en lo que pretende ofrecer y la duración es muy apropiada.

-not as horrible as i thought it was going to be tbh. def prefer something like this to AC/DC or Guns N’ Roses -the kind of thing i can enjoy listening to once for its hype moments and aura but wouldn’t just go back to unprompted. decent 3 -Favorites are Last Child and Get The Lead Out

Pretty solid listen, nothing revolutionary sounding but I enjoyed it

Rocks is much better than my last outing with Aerosmith. Prior to this, I had gotten pump, which I thought had aged terribly. The glammy, sexed up Aerosmith, paired with glossy '80s production just doesn't do it for me. Here, Aerosmith's tendencies are instead paired with a more straightforward, gritty type of '70s rock production. The performances also feel much better here. These two aspects give these songs some room to breathe, and a lot of them are honestly pretty good. I get more out of Steven Tyler screaming his brains out on Back In The Saddle than I do from Pump as a complete project. Back In The Saddle is also driven by a great bassline and a propulsive stomp, it's a great rock song. The funky Last Child is also a great listen. Although, even outside of the singles, there's a lot of good here. I like Rats In The Cellar, Combination, Nobody's Fault, and Get The Lead Out a lot. And the remaining songs still have redeeming qualities. I will say that I'm still not particularly fond of Aerosmith's style of rock music, but I don't think I can really ask more of an Aerosmith album than what is given on Rocks. And besides, I did enjoy it. This is a hell of a redemption arc in my mind, I fucking hated Pump. I'm curious if this is the peak or if other Aerosmith albums surpass rocks, but in the meantime, I'm content with what I am given here.

Day 72 First listen- Has some really nice riffs and is great to rock out and headbang to. (3/5)

Le grand livre des "1001 Albums" est une entité capricieuse. Parfois, il te balance un chef-d'œuvre de délicatesse folk ou une déflagration post-punk qui te réaligne les chakras. Et parfois, il te regarde droit dans les yeux, un rictus mauvais aux lèvres, et il te tend un disque avec une pochette qui crie "STADIUM ROCK" avec la subtilité d'un 38 tonnes lancé à pleine vitesse dans un magasin de porcelaine. Aujourd'hui, mes amis, c'est ce jour-là car le sort a désigné Aerosmith et pas n'importe lequel : "Rocks". Le titre à lui seul est un programme, pas de fioritures, pas de poésie à la con. Ça cause de cailloux, de rocs, de ce qui est dur, de ce qui pèse ou alors, c'est juste le verbe "rocker" conjugué à la troisième personne, comme une évidence divine : "Lui, il rocke". Et merde, qu'est-ce que vous voulez répondre à ça ? Je dois l'avouer, mon cœur ne s'est pas emballé en sortant la galette. Quand on a passé son adolescence à se faire les oreilles sur The Cure et Joy Division, et ses vingtaines à décortiquer les dissonances de Sonic Youth, Aerosmith, ça sonne un peu comme l'ennemi. C'est le groupe des beaux gosses du lycée, ceux qui avaient des bagnoles, des cheveux longs et soyeux, et qui écoutaient la musique fort, les fenêtres ouvertes, pour être sûrs que tout le monde profite de leur bon goût. C'est le son de l'Amérique triomphante, celle des blue-jeans serrés, des foulards attachés aux pieds de micro et de la bouche de Steven Tyler, cette curiosité géologique qui mériterait son propre code postal. Alors, on pose le diamant sur le sillon (ou plus exactement on passe sur un site de streaming car il faut bien vivre avec son temps), et là, surprise : "Back in the Saddle". Démarrage lent, presque menaçant, puis ce riff, simple, gras, terriblement efficace. La machine se met en route et c'est indéniable, ces mecs savaient brancher une guitare. Le son est énorme, la production est léchée, et on sent la testostérone suinter des enceintes. On est en 1976, le punk est en train de crever l'abcès dans les caves de Londres et New York, mais à la surface, les dinosaures règnent encore en maîtres absolus. Et Aerosmith, à ce moment précis, est sans doute l'un des plus gros tyrannosaures du cheptel. Le problème, c'est que les dinosaures, ça vieillit mal. Une fois passé le plaisir coupable de quelques riffs bien sentis, on se heurte à la réalité d'un album qui a pris un sacré coup de vieux. C'est comme revoir une série télé de l'époque : on sourit à la nostalgie des coupes de cheveux et des pantalons "pattes d'eph", mais on se rend vite compte que le scénario est mince et que les acteurs surjouent en permanence. "Rocks" souffre de ce syndrome. C'est un album de poseurs et chaque note, chaque solo de Joe Perry, chaque glapissement de Tyler semble calculé pour avoir l'air "cool" et "badass" sur la scène d'un Madison Square Garden plein à craquer. Il y a des fulgurances, bien sûr et il faut leur rendre justice. "Rats in the Cellar" est un putain de bon morceau, c'est rapide, teigneux, avec une énergie presque punk dans l'urgence. C'est le genre de titre qui te rappelle que derrière la caricature de rock stars millionnaires, il y avait un vrai groupe de rock'n'roll qui avait les crocs. C'est ce morceau-là, et peut-être "Back in the Saddle" dans une moindre mesure, qui justifie à lui seul que "Rocks" figure dans cette foutue liste des 1001 albums. C'est le moment où le masque tombe et où la musique parle, brute et directe. Mais pour le reste... On navigue entre des ballades un peu sirupeuses qui tentent de copier les Stones sans en avoir la classe ("Home Tonight") et des boogies hard rock qui tournent un peu à vide ("Lick and a Promise", "Get the Lead Out"). On a l'impression d'entendre les mêmes plans, les mêmes gimmicks, répétés jusqu'à l'épuisement. C'est compétent, c'est professionnel, mais ça manque cruellement d'âme. On est loin, très loin, de la folie d'un "Raw Power" des Stooges ou de la noirceur d'un Black Sabbath. Ici, le danger est factice, emballé dans du cuir brillant et vendu par millions. C'est un disque qui sent la cocaïne et la confiance en soi démesurée. Le son d'un groupe au sommet de son art... commercial. Ils ont trouvé une formule, et ils l'exploitent à fond. C'est une machine de guerre calibrée pour les ondes FM et les arénas. Et ça a marché, on ne peut pas leur enlever ça. Des légions de groupes, de Guns N' Roses à Mötley Crüe, leur doivent tout. Aerosmith a posé les fondations de ce "hard rock" américain, un peu bluesy, un peu glam, très macho, qui a dominé les charts pendant plus d'une décennie. Alors, verdict ? 3 sur 5, c'est généreux mais juste. "Rocks" est un document historique, c'est un album qu'il faut entendre pour comprendre une certaine facette du rock des années 70, celle qui a précédé le grand séisme punk. C'est le chant du cygne d'une certaine opulence, d'une certaine idée du rock'n'roll comme pur divertissement hédoniste. Il y a deux ou trois titres qui défoncent et qui méritent amplement leur place dans une playlist "Classic Rock qui tache". Mais l'album dans son intégralité ? Non. Je n'y reviendrai pas. La pose a fini par éclipser la musique. C'est un peu comme un vieux blouson de rocker : il a l'air cool de loin, mais de près, on voit que le cuir est craquelé et qu'il sent un peu le renfermé. Je vais donc extraire les pépites, les mettre au chaud dans un coin de mon disque dur, et ranger la galette. Le projet "1001 Albums" est un marathon, pas un sprint. Il faut savoir économiser son énergie pour les vrais chocs et "Rocks", malgré son titre, n'était qu'une secousse.

This is fine. Nothing outstanding or remarkable, but it's also not horrible. A mediocre review for a mediocre album.

Surprisingly uninvolving. These mid-70s rock albums are just not grabbing me in the way I expected. I mean, it's okay: the playing is accomplished but I struggle to get into what they're singing about.

It's good normal rock from that time, a bit repetetive for my taste but it has some good music

Better then scorched but i will not become a fan of them.

I went through a classic rock phase as a tween, but never really listened to Aerosmith. This album is exactly what I expected it would be though. It's a totally fine album, but nothing to write home about imo. My favourite song is Home Tonight - I love me a rock ballad. 6.5/10.

M'n derde keer Aerosmith in deze lijst. Slikken zullen we. Het is wat fout, het is geinig, het is ook wel weer aardig. De tweede track lijkt me een klein beetje gejat van Ian Dury's Sex & Drugs & Rock 'n Roll. Nu ik er over nadenk heeft Walk This Way (ook van Aerosmith) daar eigenlijk ook wel wat van weg. Ben ik nu een complotdenker? Na twee eerdere albums van ze kennen we het geluid inmiddels wel, maar het is ook weer niet heel moeilijk af te luisteren. 34 minuutjes, prima. Slash, James Hetfield en Kurt Cobain zweren hier blijkbaar bij. Wie ben ik om die mannen tegen te spreken. Ik geef 3 sterren.

When you open your album with a track called "Back in the Saddle," you really need to deliver a solid rock album. In this case, the album just sort of diminishes from the first track on. There are a few decent songs in the first half of the album, but this album missed the mark for me.
