Rocks
They'd soon crash, and hard, thanks to their own excesses. But Rocks captures Aerosmith at a crazily driven peak of creativity; anyone who heard it and continued to dismiss them as mere Stones clones was just being willful. This is blues rock cranked up to '70s stadium level, the sound of the Trans Am, or maybe the Porsches several of these guys (surprisingly) remember driving. The psychic battering they would succumb to on the next year's Draw the Line is foreshadowed in Joe Perry's "Combination," but he and Steven Tyler also celebrate the rock-star mythos on "Lick and a Promise." The party-fueled tension, the tension-fueled party. --Rickey Wright more

Please give me new Aerosmith.
Old Aerosmith is for old farts, atleast with New Aerosmith you get to here talent, originality, and timeless classics.For good new rock, please check out Stained, Creed, Nickelback, and Limp Bizkit.

AEROSMITH'S PINNACLE
Hands-down best effort ever, more consistent than the previous Toys in the Attic. If you were limited to just one of their albums, this would have to be it, no doubt about it. Too many highlights to praise, but since no one else has brought it up, I would like to add that the brief, deep lead...

Probaly the best Aerosmith album too date
Aerosmith's 1976 album, "Rocks", is just one of those albums you dont come by that often. Its one of those albums you can listen too over and over like, "The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced", "Kiss Alive", and many more albums. Anyways back too the...

ROCKS ROCKS ! (Aerosmith's most decadent album moves fast and never lets up)
Ya gotta hand it to Aerosmith's Rocks (1976). The decadence and debauchery is non-stop, and the Bad Boys from Beantown never even come up for air on this one. This thing rocks harder and faster than anything they have ever done. The themes are mostly about sex and partying, the streets, and more...

Aerosmith at their peak
With the complete success of Toys in the Attic behind them, it's obvious that Aerosmith went into the studio for Rocks with an enormous amount of confidence. The band swaggers and struts its way deliciously through a super strong set of some of their finest, most rockin' compositions. This album...

ROCKS is the only AEROSMITH album that matters.
I know AMAZON hates one sentence reviews, but sorry: ROCKS is the only AEROSMITH album that matters. Get me? They peaked here. It ended here. If you don't own and love this album you are NOT an Aerosmith fan. "Back in the Saddle Again" is one of the most heartfelt stabs with smack-down bass and...

A Perfect Title To Describe The Music Within
Wow! This album is just incredible, full of hooks & great sounds and dripping with an edgy menace this music feels lived in, there is no posing here. Tales of sex, drugs & rock & roll are the order of the day and it doesn't disappoint for a second. Starting with the thunderous six string bass of...

tyler and the boys
What WAS I thinking claiming Rocks to be Aerosmith's masterpiece? The album has too many flaws for any kind of "masterpiece" talk to be thrown around. How can an album be popular without any good guitar riffs, unmemorable vocal melodies and uninspiring drum work? Even Steven Tyler doesn't seem...

Rock n' Roll
Love this record!!! It was one of my very first l.p.s I bought when I was young. This is Aerosmith at the height of their powers. Back in the Saddle again!!! You don't see this level of songwriting in rock anymore. Highly recommended.

Aeronsmiff
Aerosmith was gargantuan at this time. Stadiums. If you were around then, you know that everyone had the first 4 albums. Classics all. If you don't know or think aerosmith is some newer band, you must pick up their first 4 records to "get it". Timeless.
