Admittedly, the 70s were Aerosmith's raunchy heyday. From the runway tale of "Mama Kin" to the slow and dirty funk of "Back in the Saddle," the band just exhuded an unrepentant sleazyness that made them oh-so-great. This era is represented by about 10 tracks.
And then, the compilation takes us to 1987. After the rift between Perry and Tyler has been fixed, the band re-enters the public conciousness after the collaboration with Run DMC '86. The band goes on to create alright tunes for the rest of the decade. Alas, most of these tracks are subject to the overwrought productions values of the time. Well, at least the songs still have echoes of the old Aerosmith.
Disc 2, however, sees the band's sound utterly smothered. For some unknown reason, they opt to barrage us with the schlockiest ballads this side of Manillow. The compilation leads us to believe that the 1990s were entirely dedicated to the creation of such dross. Only in the new millenium does the band hit its stride again; "Jaded," "Just Push Play" & "Girls of Summer" see some bits of the old attitude re-emerge, albeit subdued and filtered through the banal production values of '00s.
The perspective offered on these discs is terrible. The first CD should have focused on the band's 70s peak, while the second should've accomodated the inferior 80s/90s/00s efforts. If anything, it should've also given us stuff from 77-86. Do you expect us to believe that the band was inert during that decade? Please.
Overall, the casual fan who wants the biggest hits should get this. However, he/she should be warned that this collection places to much emphasis on the "cleaner" era rather than on the raunchier 1970s.
Free Music Review: Aerosmith.......Overrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 2 Stars
Aerosmith were one of the worst most annoying bands of all time. They only made 3 decent songs in Same old song and Dance, Seasons of wither, and Janies got a gun. Rest of the songs just stink explosively. Avoid most albums from this hugely overrated band, steven tyler screams, he can't sing at all??? this is music for drug addicts.Free Music Review: A decent Aerosmith collection.
Hit: 4 Stars
Aerosmith are one of the great rocking bands besides Metallica.
This is a fine collection of hits from this good band that has
legends including Same Old Song And Dance, the sweet and lovely
Seasons Of Wither(which kind of reminds me of Foreigner's Waiting
for a Girl Like You), Sweet Emotion, Love In An Elevator, and Janie's Got a Gun. I would like for you to buy this album along with albums from Metallica, Dire Straits, Foreigner, GNR, Nirvana, and Green Day but stay far away from the crappy bands like the Beatles and Lynyrd Skynyrd who suck.
Free Music Review: Fantastic! A "Must-Have" album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Aerosmith for about 20 years. This collection is a great way to be introduced to the band, and also a great collection for the hard-core fan.
