Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0696998670020 Format: Limited Edition, Original recording remastered Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 86700 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Sony Release Date: July 02, 2002 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: 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 Album Description: 2002 compilation featuring 30 tracks from their years with Columbia & Geffen. Hologram cover. 2002. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A great 2 CD cross-licencing sampling of Aerosmith's best!!! OH YEAH!!!This is a great Aerosmith 2 cd hits package,cross licencing from different labels gives us a nice career spanning collection!!! Sure a few hits my be missing,but thre's still lotsa great stuff here to enjoy,and most people own the original Columbia Greatest Hits,and Gems colletions,etc anyway Still with its modest shortcomings I still recommend it!!! Oh Yeah!!! A+ Rating: - This one has Dream OnThis is a great CD to have for the variety of hits. Many of the "Best of" collections are missing a few songs because Aerosmith jumped around between recording companies. This one has Dream On which is missing on many of the collections. Rating:  - Unremarkable drivel from a bunch of has-beensAerosmiths music stopped being relevant after "Draw the Line", perhaps before that... everything since has been AOR pop drool!!! What's this??? another scooped together "greatest hits" package? wow...thanks (yawn) Like the Stones and countless Heart, Styx, BOC, etc... bands that continue to tour americas backwaters....know when to "hang it up" and bow out with grace. It's time to stop wearing spandex and chasing teenagers when your AARP card shows up in the mail ...

Thirty songs on here and only ten are from the 70's. I'm sorry but that is just too much post-70's material. Where is "Walking The Dog", "Train Kept a Rolling", "Chip Away The Stone", "Kings And Queens". But in all fairness the name of the collection is "Ulitmate Hits" not "Best Of". And for better or worse Aerosmiths "greatest hits" came from 1987 ... Read More Rating: - This is the Anti-Greatest Hits Collection? Who put this together? As other reviews have mentioned, all the classic material from the band's heyday is absent.....How you could issue a collection and not have Toys in the Attic is beyond me.........What a let down...they should have called this Greatest Hits from the bands reunion...forward. Way, way too many tracks on here that had outside writers...I want to hear Aerosmith, not writers...that's what Country music is for. Check out the Fozzy All That Remains Reloaded Cd for some great american rock and ... Read More |
