Never properly listened to 'Rocks' until I replayed it today and it just clicked - whatever was going up their nose back them sure did come out in some kick ass songs ...

might as well

question: is this thread the origin-point of the intense display of fanship on ILX for 70s Aeromsith?
― pax raggetta (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 27 May 2011 20:07 (twelve years ago) link
those mini guitar solos in "nobody's fault" are so frickin badass.

I just had that going through my head the other day. Which is weird because I've only heard it a few times.

listening on headphones the other night I discovered all this crazy shit going on just underthe music during "Back in the Saddle". Nice work Jack Douglas.
Back when I used to listen to headphones on a regular basis, this was one of my fave albums to do it with. There's a lot of creepy stuff going on that you miss w/out 'phones, esp. in Saddle, yeah.
There's no other record in their catalog that has a production as murky, as layered, or as rich. I mean murky in a good way, too.

listening to this right now for 70s rawk poll, Perry's leads (which fade in and out of the mix) sound a little like Fripp on Scary Monsters

Perry's leads on "Rats in the Cellar", I mean

those little guitar accents in "last child"
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 February 2013 19:24 (eleven years ago) link
and "rats in the cellar"! all those screaming guitar noises just barely escaping the mix

Drugs - I knew you'd like it.

note how the drums mutate into a walking fleet of giants at the end of "combination"

this is the best album ever

A reminder: This album more than makes up for 30 years of shit Aerosmith.

I spent most of December listening to "Lick and a Promise."

i'd have said "favorite ilx thread" but the other rocks thread has a lot of incredible posts

yes, this album is some kind of formal breakthrough.
it's a very strange mix of the textures being so shambolic that it feels like it is going to break down into musical chaos at any minute, and yet all the parts are held in what repeated listenings reveal to be a very precise balance. it's kind of perfect example of a certain paradox of hard rock and metal, which is that many of the greatest and most paradigmatic examples of a music whose ethos is all about chaos, haggardness, a kind of studied macho indifference, can in fact be the result of considerable expertise, care, and attention to detail.
