Their knack for the small song, as well as small use for guitar hero/costume drama has always made them a hard rock act worthy of the name, aside from being American. Still, with a decade of bad albums and substance abuse behind them, they had a long road back. And against all odds, the old farts light one up. If you can stand the crunch, side one has more get-up and go than any one of a dozen random neogarage EPs. B+
This is the same guy who's always whining about mmuh misogyny in rock and ssstop objectifying women, you CIS male meanies. Did he even read the lyrics to those songs? Even the Rolling Stone Magazine review from 1985 called out Aerosmith for their, ahem, views on women.
He once said dubstep was just trip-hop with a different name
Angel Williams
What he had to say on Surfs Up
>but the legendary title opus is an utter failure even on its own woozy terms and there are several disasters from the guest lyricists--Van Dyke Parks's wacked-out meandering is no better than Jack Rieley's. I'll trade you my copy for Surfin' Safari even up, and you'll be sorry. B-
Charles Roberts
He also gave As and Bs to a bunch of absolutely terrible mid-80s Dylan and Neil Young albums.
Justin Rogers
Also he gave All Things Must Pass a C rating
Dylan Young
he rates albums on a letter grade scale
like honestly that all you need in terms of proof rating music in any non numerical form is complete retardation
Hudson Rodriguez
And Dirty Work, an album even diehard Rolling Stones fans had a hard time defending.
