Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
They'd soon crash, and hard, thanks to their own excesses. But Rocks captures Aerosmith at a crazily driven peak of creativity; anyone who heard it and continued to dismiss them as mere Stones clones was just being willful. This is blues rock cranked up to '70s stadium level, the sound of the Trans Am, or maybe the Porsches several of these guys (surprisingly) remember driving. The psychic battering they would succumb to on the next year's Draw the Line is foreshadowed in Joe Perry's 'Combination,' but he and Steven Tyler also celebrate the rock-star mythos on 'Lick and a Promise.' The party-fueled tension, the tension-fueled party. --Rickey Wright

- AEROSMITH'S PINNACLE
Hands-down best effort ever, more consistent than the previous Toys in the Attic. If you were limited to just one of their albums, this would have to be it, no doubt about it. Too many highlights to praise, but since no one else has brought it up, I would like to add that the brief, deep lead guitar intro to "Combination" is downright NASTY! It lasts perhaps 1 or 2 seconds but it really grabs your attention and sets such a tasty tone for the whole cut - a "gem" within a gem of an album. A 70s hard rock icon. Too bad they couldn't squeeze out one or two more similar quality albums before they flamed out

- Probaly the best Aerosmith album too date
Aerosmith's 1976 album, "Rocks", is just one of those albums you dont come by that often. Its one of those albums you can listen too over and over like, "The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced", "Kiss Alive", and many more albums. Anyways back too the point. Every song on this album rocks and you can listen too it over and over again. The pervious year(1975) Aerosmith realesed another really good album, "Toys In The Attic", containing such classics as, "Walk This Way", and "Sweet Emotion", but Rocks has got too be in least 5 times better than that album. The great album starts off with the coolest intro ever made, "Back In The Saddle", with Steven Tyler screaming, "Im BACK, Back In The Saddle Again". Just killer stuff here and the riff in it is great. Than things start too slow down bit once the insane Back In The Saddle ends and than we get into a slower song, "Last ... Read More

- ROCKS ROCKS ! (Aerosmith's most decadent album moves fast and never lets up)
Ya gotta hand it to Aerosmith's Rocks (1976). The decadence and debauchery is non-stop, and the Bad Boys from Beantown never even come up for air on this one. This thing rocks harder and faster than anything they have ever done. The themes are mostly about sex and partying, the streets, and more sex and partying.

It starts right from the very first song, Back In The Saddle:

I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun

Then on the next song, Last Child:

I was the last child
Just a punk in the street

With song titles like Rats In The Cellar, Sick As A Dog, and Lick And A Promise, it's easy to see what you're in for here, and Aerosmith delivers the goods. Sex, drugs, and rock n' roll! Rocks moves quickly and rocks loudly. The songs strut, roll, burn, and scream. Back In The Saddle, Last Child, and Rats In The Cellar are as good as ... Read More

- Aerosmith at their peak
With the complete success of Toys in the Attic behind them, it's obvious that Aerosmith went into the studio for Rocks with an enormous amount of confidence. The band swaggers and struts its way deliciously through a super strong set of some of their finest, most rockin' compositions. This album came out when I was in high school and pretty much served as the soundtrack to those years of my life. When I went off to college, I got into more "sophisticated" esoteric music and abandoned Aerosmith all together. Now that I'm older, though, I can look back and recognize just how special this album is. Rarely does a band score a bullseye as big as Aerosmith did with Rocks. A true classic of the '70s.
