 (18 Customer Reviews)
One of the reasons why Aerosmith, after a number of creatively lean years, are still given legendary credence and an eager ear with each new release, Rocks encapsulated the very essence of rock 'n' roll. They may have been the target of detractors who still pinned them as nothing more than a poor man's Rolling Stones, but Rocks pioneered a strength and swagger and real depth that remains very nearly unsurpassed. From the slowly escalating 'Back In The Saddle' to the dying strains of 'Home Tonight', this album held the full spirit and soul of Aerosmith in both hands.

Rocks Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Top 10 Hard Rock albums of ALL TIME
This is not only Aerosmith's zenith in terms of song writing and delivery, but it stands as one of the best albums ever! Back In The Saddle is not your routine hard rock thunder and has never been duplicated. Last Child is hard rock funk blues and the rest of the album is killer riff after killer riff. Listen to Tyler and Perry's dual vocals on Combination -- a very underrated song. Bottom line is that every rock star on the planet will tell you what this album means to them. It is a must have for any rock fan.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No SLEAZY, GREASY BOOGIE ROCK
This is the best Aerosmith album--Hard driving hooks and druggy grooves that drive deep into your head-- then those fantastically loose but pounding lead guitar runs and riffs come---Wow! I had this back in '75 and it still astounds in 2002--Every song rocks--It was so down and dirty that only "Last Child" made it to the radio with any consistency--
One of the top 5 best rock records of all time

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Aerosmith's Masterpiece
This is where it all came together for Aerosmith. If your a true fan of hard rock, this should be in everybody's top ten. There are two other Aerosmith albums that are comparable (Toys In The Attic, Get Your Wings, OK and maybe their debut album). But nothing captured the mood of Rock angst in the middle of the disco era like "Rocks".

By the time Aerosmith released GET YOUR WINGS they were gaining serious momentum as edgy, sassy hard rock contenders.

This two-fer CD includes the entirety of two of the Everly Brothers' early albums for Warner Brothers Records, 1961's BOTH SIDES OF AN EVENING and 1962's INSTANT PARTY.
The two-LP-on-one-CD Both Sides of an Evening/Instant Party doesn't have nearly the level of interest of its companion volume (It's Everly Time/A Date With the Everly Brothers), and it is definitely not the place to start hearing the Everly Brothers' Warner Bros. sides. But it does have just enough good quality (and little-heard) ...
