Rocks

The city of Boston needs to apologize for this drek.

"Tyler claimed their relationship was consensual and that he had immunity because he was her legal guardian at the time" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This was an okay listen. I think TitA was a better album, but this was a fun follow up. Little bit of funky blues riffage. The Aerosmith I enjoy is like 90s Aerosmith. Weird affinity, I know. Upon second listen, Back in the Saddle fucks and the rest kind of suck.

Taints

YEOOOOOWWWWWW I am the Man Who Rocks!!!! this shit sucks ahhaha

Nope. Not my thing. Bombastic rock

This is the 156th album I’m rating. Two Aerosmith albums recently. Toys in the Attic was pretty good so I'm assuming this will literally be the greatest album I've ever heard. Adding to my Playlist - Rats in the Cellar, Combination, and Lick and a Promise. Not Adding to my Playlist - Back in the Saddle, Last Child, Sick as a Dog, Nobody's Fault, Get the Lead Out, and Home Tonight. All in all I liked 3/9 songs. I'm not sure if this is actually worse than Toys in the Attic. Maybe this is just me being in an Aerosmith mood that day and me not being in one today. Either way I don't like this.

I really hate Aerosmith but still gave this a try and came out unchanged.

SHUT IT OFF

Man I cannot stand Aerosmith. Janie's Got a Gun killed it for me back in 1989. There was some good stuff prior to that (like Rocks) had a different feel to it. But just the sound of Tyler's voice gets me now.

boring rock slop with one of the most aggravating singers to ever disgrace the microphone in Steven Tyler

I meannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Musically so much more enjoyable than their last inclusion in this list. I know that so many artists, from this period of time especially, made some questionable life choices. But this fella was so far over the line that I can’t separate the art from the artist. If I could it might scrape a 3. Because I can’t it’s a 1.

Not for me. 1/5

Halfway through this list and my goal is to be less of a hater but holy fuck this sucks

Aerosmith is the boring, white version of classic rock bands. They’re generic, the vocals and lyrics are bad and the songs go on too long. This one doesn’t even have hits.

booooooring. I swear I've heard every single one of these songs before

I like the bands they're ripping off (Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin) and the biggest band to rip them off (Guns N Roses) but this in-between cohort of 70s hard rock (Aerosmith, Kiss, AC/DC) has always been the nadir of classic rock to me. Creatively bankrupt, unexciting, over hyped - it's just tedious blues chord progression with a bit of distortion, mid level guitar heroics, a wailing singer and some annoying visual gimmick - vacuous rock star stuff that is even worse when compared to the underground and alternative stuff (or even the pretty similar british metal) happening at the same time. The only saving grace of this album is that it wasn't as overplayed on the radio growing up and so I don't viscerally hate these sons as much as others of theirs.

Nope.

I definitely went into this listen with a bad attitude, and sure enough, the music met my expectations. I don't give a crap about this band, what they have to say, or how they say it. I can understand why Toys in the Attic was included in this list, but the fact that there are 3 Aerosmith albums on here is a hate crime

Terrible stuff. Imagine this being the last album you heard before you died! Some decent guitar riffs, but apart from that it was just so unimaginative and dull. I do like some Aerosmith songs, but they are in no way deserving of multiple entries in this book.

I didn´t like this album at all.

Yep just another can of slop from Aerosmith. If you haven't gotten over it from the last 18 billion servings, here is another.

1. zaddle - 1 2. child - 1 3. ratz - 1 4. combination - 0 5. dog - 1 6. fault - 1 7. lead out - 1 8. promize - 0 9. tonight - 0

shit

Fine for Aerosmith, but not their best album.

Not for me…

I really expected to like some of this but it just hit me wrong from start to finish. It was boring and sounded bad. This might be my least favorite rock album I've listened to as part of 1001. 1.5 rounded down.

oof

No ta

Yesterday I had Aerosmiths third album and didn't enjoy it, 2 stars. I opened today hoping for a palate cleanser and was given Aerosmiths 4 album. I barely made it through a single listen of this as I was already sick of their stones derivative, screechy, puerile nonsense. Today they get one star just because I'm sick of their shit.

Genuinely exhausting to listen through. Rock for people who eat plain oatmeal every day for breakfast

I did listen to it and like a few songs from them but not this album :(

I hate this music. I hope that's the last one from Aerosmith in the 1001 challenge. Two so far seems a stretch?

Bad Aerosmith album

vomit

I hate it

After hearing all the singles Aerosmith had to offer over the years I felt like I knew what I was expecting when I first hit play on rocks and it turns out.... I was exactly right in my assumptions. This album was everything I expected it to be. Which is to say it's a boring hair metal album akin to AC/DC where if you have heard one of these guys songs you have essentially heard them all. At least other offerings have that one stand out single you can latch onto but this album, like 90% of their discography is samey hair metal trash. Tyler's voice can sometimes sound like nails on a chalk board and he overly relies on repetitive vocal melodies to push him through a song....album....career.... Unless you couldn't tell. I do not like Aerosmith...

Some buns

Super boring. Scratching my head why this album is on here. Aerosmith had a lot of hits but none of them are on this record. I would’ve much rather listened to toys in the attic, get a grip, or big ones. Back in the saddle is one of Steven Tyler’s worst sounding vocals. Terrible song. Last child is alright. Sick as a dog is not a good song. Get the lead out is alright. 1

Can’t hear anything some of the reviewers do. Meahh

meh

Album did basically nothing to sway my already mostly negative opinion on the band. Also opens with my second most disliked song of theirs.

Aerosmith is very quite possibly the worst band on this list and the worst band who has every achieved any amount of fame. 0 stars all the way.

Should've stuck to making chocolate.

Meh

I hate Aerosmith so so much. This record sucks.

What a snooze. I fully forgot this album an hour after listening to it. I honestly considered giving it a 2, but I couldn't think of something that actually redeemed it.

Aerosmith just doesn't do anything for me aside from a few hits, none of which are on this album. Nothing jumped out at me about this one, even the singles. Standout Tracks:

How is this on the list??

Didn’t even finish album.

I've never given Aerosmith the time of day until this album, I wish I hadn't here either.

For the life of me I can't understand why Aerosmith is on this list, surely there are more worthy bands. I particularly hate this brand of screamo pop rock and Steven Tyler's vocals. Nothing redeeming here folks, keep moving.

Slightly noisy nonsense. Downhill after the first track.

Didn't feel like prime Aerosmith. Apart from Last Child, I found it a bit tedious tbh. Like they just slapped together an album in a few weeks, decided, "Yeah, that's good enough," and got back on the partying. A lot of this some of rock also hasn't aged well imo. Feels almost like a parody.

Hair metal is one of my least favorite genres and this album continues to confirm that trend

Very boring

i refuse to listen to this

No

Not my favorite.. sounds sorta generic? Nothing really stood out for me as an album

Big fat smelly turd, hurt my ears and my feelings.

I just really hate Aerosmi

Awful.

I couldn't listen to this, not because of any technical problem, or from a lack of time, but more because I dislike Aerosmith a great deal.

didn't listen

Some good riffs, but I don't enjoy this.

No me apetese wey.

File under: Worth a listen for historical considerations. I'm not a complete Aerosmith hater. I still remember back in my second year of college, one of my roommates and I decided to buy new cassettes for the 4 hour drive home. We weren't allowed to own or listen to any rock tapes at our college, so we embraced the opportunity to rock out on our way home. He bought Def Leppard; I bought an Aerosmith compilation heavy on the 90s hits. I still listen to those once in a while. I can enjoy a brief list of 70s and early 80s 'smith hits. For a record as a whole, though, this one wears thin pretty quickly for me, especially compared to so many other fantastic mid-70s records.

I refuse to listen to this refuse.

GUBBROCK

awful
