I have been trouble getting to this blog; the time I am not working I have been dedicating to movies. Sorry, album blog; you will never be my favorite child. However, I was excited to get back to this project today; this was my very first Aerosmith album.
So we went from Keith Jarrett, who played beautiful piano sets, to this album and they could not be more different. I am not saying one is better than the other, but one of the lyrics in this album is "suck on my ten inch". So we have got a couple different approaches to music.
"Sweet Emotion" was a beautiful song, however, and "No More" is extremely catchy. I am not looking down on this album: I actually think it was a lot of fun. I think Aerosmith falls under the "guilty pleasure" column for a lot of people and after listening to this album, I am adding it to mine.
RATING: 5/5
I have always loved this album. I am 55 and I still listen to it and will always smile and chuckle at some of the lyrics in the song you mentioned in your review. Ahem. I like all the songs and his album pleases me---I guess it is indeed a "guilty pleasure."
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting and I loved this one too!
DeleteGood call, I expected a chick blog to hate on this for the misogynist lyrics. This was a great band that played some awesome hard/blues rock on every track except the last two.
