Product Description
From Amazon.com
Over a remarkable 30 years, Aerosmith has delivered near-perfect hybrids of rock and balladry, converting generations of listeners into devout fanatics. O Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits drives chronologically through 30 of their best songs, providing a tour of the construction process. And what a process! Listen to "Mama Kin" and you might not recognize Aerosmith at all--here is a young Tyler, before finding his distinctive gritty wail, fronting a simple blues-bar band. But the phenomenal energy and synchronization that developed between Tyler and Perry starts here, and is followed up by successive wonders. "Dream On" captures plodding despair; "Last Child" bears witness to Tyler's mastery of harmony and shriek; "Back in the Saddle" explodes with swagger. Built from the low-end up, Aerosmith's heavy kick, driving bass lines, steady rhythm guitar, and blaring exclamation-point horns create a perfect foundation. And the dirty, harmonic souls of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry do what they do best--put on an over-the-top, flawless show. --Laura Etling

Time to pack it in, boys,
By Leonard Snerdley (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: O Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (2CD) (Audio CD)
I thought Aerosmith had been getting worse since 1994 - turns out they've been pretty crummy since the mid-70's. One or two memorable tunes on a set that just goes on way . . . too . . . long.

Don't buy this album!,

This review is from: O Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (2CD) (Audio CD)
Doesn't anyone with even mild interest in Aerosmith already have a compilation of theirs, considering how many are available (I've got 4 myself)? And even if you do pick this up, another best-of will probably have replaced it on the shelves by the time you get to the checkout counter.This collection isn't necessarily terrible, it's just a bit insulting to fans. Apparently, either the band, its record labels, or both believe that all we care about is the insipid formulaic drek that Aerosmith has been making ever since "Get a Grip". That stuff takes up half of "Ultimate Aerosmith", while the their best material--from the '70's--is packed into the first ten songs of disc one. I guess the band members don't realize that their early music is what made them popular--and what makes them (almost) tolerable today. (Could a band possibly start out as a bunch of wrinkled ex-(?)coke fiends and sell millions of CDs to kids 35 years their junior?) And even the picks from the 1970s are a bit odd. I'm very pleased to see "Seasons of Wither", but should it be picked over "Kings and Queens", "Train Kept a-Rolin'" (which is an Aerosmith classic, despite being a cover), or even "Chip Away at the Stone"? And what is "Big Ten Inch Record" doing here? This song is an amusing throwaway that fits well into "Toys in the Attic", but it does not belong on a compilation that claims to be definitive. Moving on to the 1980's, there are no songs from "Done With Mirrors" (I believe that the "Young Lust" compilation icluded a few of those, however). At the least, "Let the Music Do the Talking" should be here. Surely the removal of by-the-numbers ballads like "Crazy" (which sounds almost the same as "Crying", just not quite as good) and the boring "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" could have made room for some of the songs mentioned above. For anyone who doesn't own any Aerosmith, this is not the place to start. Get "Greatest Hits" and "Gems" to cover the Columbia years, or go for "Pandora's Box" if you're really interested in that era ("Box of Fire" for the ultra-motivated fans). And for those of us who want a thorough compilation covering the Geffen years of the 1980s and 1990s, the double-disc "Young Lust" (released a whopping 7 months, 21 days before this one) does a better job. Come to think of it, so does the single CD "Big Ones". True, if you get the aforementioned albums instead of this one, you won't get songs from their last two CDs or "Girls of Summer", but that's what online music swapping is for.

This is the definitive collection from an amazing band. Aerosmith rocks!!,

This is the ultimate collection for Aersomith fans and contains the best of the best. Some of my favorite Aerosmith songs would have to be the #1 single from the Armageddon soundtrack, I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING. A beautiful power ballad and one of my personal favorites. What it takes and Janie's Got a gun are two more Aerosmith classics. Angel is a beautiful love song. DUDE (Looks LIke a lady), Livin' On the edge, Cryin', Amazing, Sweet Emotion, Dream On, Jaded and Crazy are amazing songs from Aerosmith.Aerosmith is one of those bands that has stood the test of time. This is the defintive collection and an absolute must for every Aerosmith fan.
