Event though Aersmith is mostly known for beeing successful in the era of 1980's hairbands and reaching the toplists with ballads, this it where it all started, in 1973! The band was formed in 1971 and early albums by the band, such as this debut, is full of hardriffing, kickass rock'n'roll but also on this album there is an great ballad, so it was no 80's fashion for Aerosmith to record ballads, they did it a decade earlier! For a rockfan this is an must-have album, there ain't no fillers only high quality and melodic hard rock and hardrock.

When the album was re-released in 1976 the ballad "Dream on" reached the american chart at nr. 6 and the album reached nr. 21 in the same year. Long time coming for this album! It sounds like it was recorded on take 1, charming! There's no gimmicks, it's only rough and raw and so damn good.

1)Make it (8,5) Aerosmith's career starts out with a superb heavy rocker!

2)Somebody (8,0) Good!

3)Dream on (8,0) Even on their 1st album they managed a killer ballad!

4)One way street (8,5) A 7 minute boogie-blues that's full of life and energy. Very good indeed!

5)Mama kin (8,0) A straight and rough rocker including horns.

6)Write me (8,0) Boogiebluesrocker. Great tempochange!

7)Movin' out (8,0) Messy good rocker.

8)Walkin' the dog (9,5) Cover of a song performed originally by Rufus Thomas. One of the highlights of 1970's! Heavy and energic and probably full of drugs.
