New Weekly Post. Rocky4s 5 Star Albums

[Rocky4]

 

In my opinion, the best rock album ever made. No duds. Every song is a winner. It's got a cool bassy sound which I tend to judge all rock albums by. I wish Guns n Roses Appetite For Destruction would have been recorded with the same technics. Oh well. I never considered Joe Perry to be one of my favorite guitar players until i saw Phil X playing Perrys solos. Perrys guitar work blends so well in the music that it all seems as one. Very well constructed. Steven Tylers lyrics have a "I know something you don't" attitude to them. I bought this album when it came out back in '76. I remember playing it in my room as a teenager on my Pioneer SA 6500 integrated amp with an equalizer and hodge podge speakers that worked very well. I still remember hearing my fan behind the guitars in the opening of Nobodys Fault. I'm a huge music lover. I don't put stuff on as background music. Back then, I put albums on, turned off the lights, sat in my rocking chair and listened.To this day, I love this album as much as I did then. Outside of Back In The Saddle and Last Child, it has the advantage of not being over played on the radio. I know its 36 years old, but you've got to give this a listen.

IMHO there's not enough old school Aerosmith played on the radio these days. Always hear "Love In An Elevator" or that stupid song from Armagedon rather than the early stuff from Rocks or Toys

Very good album. Glory days of a great band. But I do like later Aerosmith too: PUMP is a great album.
