QUIK NOTE-!> I would like to thank my buddy Kit (Thor) for letting me steal the idea of his new layout. Overall views This album has the same Aerosmith signature attitude like every other album that they've put out. This album was my first album, i bought it when I was 2, so I've been stuck on it since then. This album was well produced. This and is one of the greatest bands of all time, this album isn't one of their smash hits. It didn't sell as much as their popular albums, but this album is still a rocking album.Pros to the album This album has great songs, such as "Livin on the Edge", "Walk on Down", "Shutup and Dance", "Cryin'". and "Crazy". All of these songs are great songs. They have catchy powerful riffs, and Joe Perry plays amazing lead. His solos could melt Super Man's face off. The production on this album was great. The recording was very smooth, and it sounded like they had a great time recording it. Steven Tyler is an amazing frontman who can sing like any one he wants to, as long as it has that scratchy sound to it. He has amazing presence and his ballads are great. The lyrics he wrote are great. Joe Perry played on this album......He is amazing and is a main influential guitarist to most anyone who picks up a guitar. His solos and songwriting is amazing. It's kinda strange how he sings on walk on down though Cons to the Album The electric drumset on some songs makes rock gods sound like fake 80's metal bands. It still has the attitude and rythem, but IMO they sound bad, and make it sound cheesie. Some songs don't sound like the classic Aerosmith we all know and love. After this album and before the 1995 switch back, aerosmith had a new poppy sound, which I don't think any of us liked that much. Tracks to Chiggidy-check out Shutup and Dance, this song has a powerful riff and a funny message. Livin' on the Edge, Even though it's acoustic this song is awesome. It has a great lead played by Joe on electric. Cryin', This song is an AMAZING ballad that is great to play for girls, and makes you wanna listen more and more. Crazy, This song is another great ballad that is softer and Steven does a PHENOMENAL job singing in this song. I could suggest more, but those are my top four favorties.FINAL RATING - 4/5

Average review. You didn't tell us about how the albums sounds, and that's the biggest part of a review.

I am a casual Aerosmith fan. I can't comment further on this album though.

Hey Zebra does always post thoughts on review, skips a line, thoughts on album.

He's right though, this isn't even an average review I would say, plus you have a few grammar problems and some sentences I don't understand.

"This and is one of the greatest bands of all time, this album isn't one of their smash hits."

I was confused about him talking about stealing Thor's way of reviewing. Since he changed it he should take that sentence out.

3.5, this is an uncomfortable album to listen to but has some great moments, just too commercial.

At least considering what is commercial, this had some nice tunes. Good guitar solos, and here and there some nice classic sounding Aerosmith.

Minus some corny lyrics, its actually a fun listen.

aerosmith is a great band but this album makes me hate so much that i can't considering download the discography because half of the compilations have either crazy and amazing, which are my most hated tracks by aerosmith

Too many fillers and a bit too mainstream to be a really good. But the best tracks on this album is second to none and a classics.



I dont know how many times I've listen to Livin' On The Edge, Cryin', Crazy and Amazing.

Two or tree more like those tracks and we would have a classic album.

I remember when this came out, all of the metal mags like RIP, Hit Parader, Metal Edge, and Circus were going nuts over it. Its alright.

This review blows IMO. I've written bad reviews, but this is easily worse.
Please, please, please, break up those paragraphs. Otherwise, it's too awkward to read. And please, do a grammar check.
