Free Music Notes for Night in the Ruts
Free Music Review: Underrated effort
Hit: 4 Stars
I've been an Aerosmith fan for many years, but "Night in the Ruts" was a disc I had skipped over due to the perception that it was one of their weaker efforts. That's an unfair characterization.
"Draw The Line" was a disappointment largely because it followed the fantastic "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks". The material on "Draw The Line" is a little weaker and the sound is frustratingly muddy. So I wasn't sure what to expect from "Ruts".
I was pleasantly surprised to find several strong tracks. The record leads off with the the ballsy rocker "No Surprize", one of two tracks I was already familiar with. This is Aerosmith at their finest with great riff interplay between Perry and Whitford. "Remember (Walking in the Sand)" is their much maligned single from the record but I've always enjoyed this cover, particularly the fingersnaps and handclaps wrapped around the riff of the chorus. Other standout tracks are "Three Mile Smile" and "Bone to Bone" which have prototypically funky and hard Aerosmith guitar licks. "Cheesecake" is a bluesy stomper with some tasty slide guitar. "Think About It" is one of the heaviest tracks on the record with some furious riffing. "Mia" closes out the disc with a ballad, a trend that had been established on "Toys" and "Rocks".
The production on this record is much improved over "Draw The Line" with a much clearer and heavier sound. This was the first Aerosmith record that was not produced by Jack Douglas.
I bought the disc for $4.97 and wasn't sure what edition I was getting. What was sent to me was the 20-bit remaster released in 1993, so I was happy. For that price, "Night in the Ruts" is an absolute steal but that not withstanding, it is a solid underrated record that should not be overlooked.
