Toys in the Attic - Aerosmith

-

I really thought I would never listen to classic rock after my introduction to alternative rock, but I was wrong. I was told to listen to this album by a friend of mine who really liked classic rock and Aerosmith. I was like "what the heck, I might as well give it a shot." I finished the album in about an hour, and my first reaction to it was that I really liked it. It wasn't too long, it wasn't too short, it was the perfect length. Another thing, the songs were so catchy. For example, I wanted to listen to the first song on the album so many times because of the awesome start to the song. Not only that, It was fast-paced. To be completely honest, Aerosmith was never my "go-to" band when it came to classic rock. In that genre, I preferred AC/DC or Steely Dan, but not Aerosmith. Sure, Aerosmith had great songs like "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way," but other than those songs, I really never listened to them. I like every song on this album. I thought the songs were all good, but I didn't think they were perfect. I will say though, it is very impressive for there to be an album where I love every song. So get ready because this week I'll be reviewing Aerosmith's third studio album, "Toys in the Attic."



(To start this review off, I'll show a list that contains my favorite songs to my least favorite songs on this album. If a song is number 1, that means it was my favorite song. No other songs from the band's other albums will be shown on this list. Only songs that are on this album will be reviewed. Finally, I will briefly explain why my list is ordered the way it is. In other words, I will briefly explain why this song is ranked this way.)

The List:
  1. Toys in the Attic- I love the beginning of this song, it just has a rush I love. I want to dance to it.
  2. Walk This Way- This is a classic, but Run DMC does it better. Other than that it sounds fantastic
  3. Sweet Emotion- This song has a slow start, but it picks up the speed. If they had lyrics close to the beginning of the song, this would have taken the number 2 spot.
  4. Uncle Salty- This song has a funky sound which I love. I'm supri
  5. No More No More- I like the dance feel to it, It also has a great slow part to it, put then picks up speed.
  6. Big Ten Inch Record- The 1950's vibe is amazing in this song. Fantastic!
  7. Adam's Apple- Not a catchy tune and sounds very repetitive.
  8. Round and Round- I like the rock feel to it, but it's so freaking not that catchy and it's slow.
  9. You See Me Crying- I really don't like the slow feel to this song. The piano makes it worse.

Three Dollar Bill, Y'all $ - Limp Bizkit

Welcome back to my blog. If you were an avid reader of my previous posts, you won't be disappointed with this entry. If you are new to the blog, here is what I do. Basically, I review albums I like or albums that are suggested to me and I rank each song in a list. The list starts off with my favorite songs to my least favorite songs. This review is all subjective, so if you don't agree with my opinion, I would love to debate why one song should rank over another song. If you can, just message me for online discussion and debate. Anyway, back to the review. You were probably expecting another Primus album because if you know me, I love the band Primus. They are my number-one favorite band of all time. After listening to EVERY song produced by them, I started to search for more alt-rock bands I would enjoy. I already listened to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I listened to some Tool. It just felt like something was missing, and what was missing was Limp Bizkit. I must clear this ...

Brown Album - Primus

Before I start this review, I have to say it. This album is hands down my favorite Primus album I listened to so far. "Antipop" was great, but this album is phenomenal. In this album, Primus explores new territories, song wise. How I even started to review this album was a shocker. I was pretty busy one night and for some unknown reason (even to myself), I decided to listen to Primus's "Brown Album." At first, I was unsure of what to expect because I've heard that many Primus fans disliked this album because it was extremely different from their previous album's. In my honest opinion, this album is 100 times better than there last album before "Brown Album." That album was "Tales from the Punchbowl"(which I also listened to that night). "Tales from the Punchbowl" was awful. I felt like I was listening to more of an orchestra, than anything. By that statement, I mean that there were hardly any songs with lyrics in them. Not o...

In Utero - Nirvana

To get this review started off, FIRST, like any Nirvana fan I was introduced to Nirvana by "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Just kidding! Anyway, Nirvana was always, to me, like one of those bands just out there. It was like one of those foods I ate and thought "it was just O.K." After listening to this album though, my opinion of Nirvana has remained the same. My honest opinion is that they are overrated, like so many other bands, but just because they are overrated doesn't mean I hate them. Was it my favorite album I reviewed? No! Not by a long shot! I did not hate it though. It was actually better than I expected. My biggest problem with this album though was that there was too much screaming in some of the songs. Grunge is supposed to be messy, but I just thought it was sometimes unnecessary. To continue my other point, just like The Beatles, they are so overrated. This is not my favorite band in the world because I know there are bands like Primus and the Red Hot...
