one of Aerosmith's best albums

From top to bottom, I consider this one of Aerosmith's best albums, and certainly up there with 'Rocks' (which is probably the best), 'Get Your Wings', and their first, underrated self-titled album 'Aerosmith' (Dream On).



If you are new to Aerosmith, then before you get any of these, you should get the *excellent* single-disc first greatest hits collection, entitled "Aerosmith's Greatest Hits". It's the one that has the Aerosmith logo on a red background. That album has all great songs and absolutely no filler.



Because of when in Aerosmith's history this record was made, it doesn't get enough credit. Due to drugs and burnout, Aerosmith's albums were getting progressively more uneven, hitting an alltime low with 'Draw the Line'. This album is surprisingly, WAY better.



Though bluesy with a few slow, tasty numbers like "Reefer Headed Woman", the expressive "Mia", and the surprise hit "(Remember) Walking in the Sand", this is a rockin' album with some straight ahead rock tunes like "Think About It", "Chiquita", "Cheese Cake", "Three Mile Smile", and "Bone to Bone". The latter two sound like they could have easily come off the excellent "Rocks" album.



Even the turgid "No Surprize" is catchy in its own way. And while it doesn't appeal to all Aerosmith fans, "Think About It" is actually my favorite song on the record. For fans of Aerosmith at their hardest, most aggressive, it doesn't get any better than this.



For those of you who only know this album because of the hit "(Remember) Walking in the Sand", there is so much more to this album than that song. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that it is the weakest song on the record. It's also a cover of an old Shangri-Las song and not even an Aerosmith original!



In summary, fans of early vintage Aerosmith should check this record out if they haven't already. It's up there with 'Rocks', the first self-titled record, and 'Get Your Wings', and it's better than the rest of them.

Reefer Headed Woman

I'm with the last reveiwer that Chip Away The Stone should have been included on this album, rather than on the cutting room floor. I compare this album to my favorite Aerosmith album, Get Your Wings. Every song here is true Aerosmith, rotten to the core. Check out Three Mile Smile, No Suprise, Cheese Cake and of course, REEFER HEADED WOMAN. This album rocks and was almost completely overlooked. There was a slight hit with Remember (Walking In The Sand) an old Shangra-La's song.



Do yourself a favor, don't think about it, just buy this album. You'll love it.
