Released in 1973, ‘Aerosmith’ is the self-titled debut album by American hard rockers, Aerosmith. Showcasing a young band with a whole bundle of confidence and potential, this is hard rock in a similar vein to bands such as KISS, AC/DC or The Rolling Stones. No gimmicks here though, just solid songwriting and loads of energy.

The production on this album is good for its time, and holds up well. Vocalist Steven Tyler isn’t hitting the high notes like he does in later years, not yet anyway, but you can certainly hear the passion and charisma in his voice. The bands sound is still pretty grounded in the blues, having not taken on that harder edge just yet. But again, it’s all good, and we all know what’s coming over the next few years. Or decades.

Overall, this is just a good, solid rock album. At barely 36 minutes in duration, ‘Aerosmith’ absolutely flies by, and tracks like ‘Make It’, ‘Mama Kin’, ‘Walkin’ the Dog’ and early, huge hit for the band, ‘Dream On’, make it a worthy addition to any hard rock collection.
