Free Music Review: Criminally overlooked and criminally underrated
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is absolutely GREAT. It is one of my favourites of all-time alnog with the Scorpions "In Trance" and Led Zeppelin's "IV". It rocks from the very beginning to the very end - an absoulute masterpiece of brilliant musicanship.
Some of you may think perhaps that I do not know much about this band if I rate this one so high; because it is clearly not their best one both in opinion of fans and critics.
But no, I do have almost every Aerosmith's LP.
"Rocks" and "Toys int he Attic" were good indeed, thier 80's/90's efforts as well, but somehow this one appeals to me the most. It is so raw, crude, simple and uncouth. It stems directly from blues-inspired stuff and is so blissfully liberated from the compulsion of being radio-minded, so untouched by mainstream popular influences and ripped off any commercial attempts to appeal to vast audience - and hence so incredibly marvellous. These guys sound like they were playing for themselves only, and they'd screw both fame, record-sales and radio-appeal. I can't get enough of listening to this one.
"One way street" is a 7 minute classic - something you must hear before you can proclaim yourself a music-knower.
I've always held Aerosmith for a very good band, altough they probably weren't as talented as my favourites Bon Jovi; not to mention Led Zeppelin or Guns N Roses. They made a great deal of really good albums, altough some of their songs really do not appeal to me at all (for example "Back in the saddle"). But all in all, this is one of the better rock bands I've come across so far.
This debut-album is absoultely my favourite one - however, I would'nt recommend it for a newcomer, since this one differes greatly from most later Aersomith records. Just compare this with "Pump" or "Nine Lives" - you'll get the difference. So, a casual listener who happened to have heard this band on the radio would get here a completely different band he might expect. However, if you have a nice CD collection on your desk (I have over 300), you'll gradually be trying to get into such overlooked masterpieces as this one and discover what most listeners didn't. That's really fun, when everybody keeps saying how good was something that sold 10 million copies and everyone owns it.
This one is perhaps one of the best LP's of all time... Highly recommended as a top-gem in your CD collection.
Free Music Review: A solid rock and blues debut
Hit: 3 Stars
Mama Kin and Dream On stand out on this debut but listeners who are only familiar with recent Aerosmith will probably find this to be a largely boring effort. This debut represents a snapshot of the band when they were starting out as a largely blues oriented rock band. Cool in the 70's but only for completists now. If you want to get Dream On or Moma Kin then pick up one of the many greatest hits collections. For those looking to get Aerosmith from the 70's that still holds up I recommend 'Toys in the attic'. 'Toys' was a high water mark during the early years - before drugs and booze took them into galaxies far, far away.Free Music Review: Off to a good start

With the possible exception of KISS and later Van Halen, no other band is synonymous with great 70s hard rock as much as Aerosmith. With their blues-based boogie grooves, the "toxic twins" Steven Tyler, (vocals) and Joe Perry, (guitar) along with Brad Whitford, (guitar) Tom Hamilton (bass) and Joey Kramer (drums) produced some of the best rock albums of the 1970s, most notably "Toys in the Attic" (1975) and "Rocks" (1976).
Often a band's best album is their debut. It is common for a band to tour and tour and tour, perfect a batch of songs, release it on a spectacular debut, and then run out of ideas and have to face the "sophomore slump." With Aerosmith, however, the band didn't really get its groove until their third album "Toys in the Attic." Aerosmith's 1973 self-titled debut and its follow-up "Get your Wings" (1974) are good solid albums, but seem rather tepid and underwhelming when compared to the band's mid 70s prime material. While the self-titled debut contains the classics "Dream On" and "Mamma Kin," the rest of the album isn't up-to-par. That's not to say that the self-titled debut only has two good songs and a bunch of filler; as the rest of the album is good, it's just that it doesn't compare with the band's later material. With the self-titled debut Aerosmith found their signature, it's just that the band's writing hadn't yet reached its peak. While the opening "Make it" and the classic balled "Dream On" and the rocking "Mamma Kin" stand as some of the band's best work, the rest of the album is just good, but not great.
If you are an Aerosmith fan, by all means, get this album. If you are new to Aerosmith, however, start off with "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks" before buying the debut.
