Rocks

Aerosmith

A brutal, drug-fueled peak of seventies hard rock. Recorded in a cavernous warehouse, it captures a band at their most dangerous, rhythmic, and raw.

May 3, 1976 · Columbia

Relentless, confrontational energy with a dark, drug-fueled undercurrent of urban grit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The whip-crack sound effect and galloping six-string bass riff that opens Back in the Saddle.
The heavy, funk-inflected bass groove of Last Child that pivots the album into a soulful strut.
The frantic, claustrophobic tempo of Rats in the Cellar that feels like a band playing at the edge of a breakdown.
