Album Notes Also available in a 3-pack with GET YOUR WINGS and TOYS IN THE ATTIC. Aerosmith: Steven Tyler (vocals, wooden flute, harmonica); Joe Perry (guitar, background vocals); Brad Whitford (guitar); Tom Hamilton (bass instrument); Joey Kramer (drums). Additional personnel: David Woodward (saxophone). With their sharp-edged, bluesy swagger and irresistible riffs, Aerosmith made some of the best and most enduring rock records of the '70s. While their self-titled debut from 1973 is not among them, it is nevertheless an accurate snapshot of a great band finding its legs. The raw, hard-hitting cover of Rufus Thomas's "Walkin' the Dog" indicates where Aerosmith is coming from: this is blues-rock taken to a headbanging level of intensity, yet with enough smarts and sass to keep it sexy and appealing. AEROSMITH boasts the presence of "Dream On," a soaring, heavy power ballad that showcases Stephen Tyler's raspy, soulful pipes and went on to become an all-time rock classic and a perennial radio staple. Also here is the groove and punch of "Mama Kin," a longstanding concert favorite. Elsewhere this fine debut flaunts the duel guitar attack, shuffle-boogie rhythms, and passionate, bratty yowls that would be the basis of the band's sound throughout the '70, '80s, '90s, and beyond. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Aerosmith on FireReview created: 05/06/08(updated 05/07/08) by:  This recording, the first of many, is classic Aerosmith and demonstrates why the band has its staying power. When somebody says, "Classic Rock", this is the kind of music I think of. Containing the rock standard, Dream On, this CD would be worth the purchase price if that were the only song on it. Luckily, the remainder of the album lets you get lost in the music and brings you back to an earlier time, one without cell phones, pagers and 24 hour a day news cycles. The technical level of the recording shows that it was definitely done in a studio, with a recording engineer who was new to stereo, with far too many passages coming out on just one channel. Despite the over-eager engineering the majority of the CD is a pretty good example of the dynamic range of the CD format, a display that is sadly missing in modern recordings as companies race for dynamic compression in the bid to play it loudest. When the drummer hits the kick drum, you should be able to notice that it went from quiet to loud, and this CD demonstrates that wonderfully. I most heartily recommend this CD to anybody that wants to experience what Rock can be. Review ID: 10000000007033443 Was this review helpful?
