O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Over a remarkable 30 years, Aerosmith has delivered near-perfect hybrids of rock and balladry, converting generations of listeners into devout fanatics. O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits drives chronologically through 30 of their best songs, providing a tour of the construction process. And what a process! Listen to "Mama Kin" and you might not recognize Aerosmith at all--here is a young Tyler, before finding his distinctive gritty wail, fronting a simple blues-bar band. But the phenomenal energy and synchronization that developed between Tyler and Perry starts here, and is followed up by successive wonders. "Dream On" captures plodding despair; "Last Child" bears witness to Tyler's mastery of harmony and shriek; "Back in the Saddle" explodes with swagger. Built from the low-end up, Aerosmith's heavy kick, driving bass lines, steady rhythm guitar, and blaring exclamation-point horns create a perfect foundation. And the dirty, harmonic souls of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry do what they do best--put on an over-the-top, flawless show. --Laura Etling

5 out of 5 stars Dude still got it.......2007-05-14

Aerosmith , thank god that there are still bands that sing about dirty women , drink and , well , you know what I mean ! as a mature rock fan who grew up in glorius late 60s and 70s this is what it's about .
In a world of political correctness it's hard to write good old fashioned rock and roll lyrics well , you've missed the plot if that's your mindset rock music is about having a good time , aerosmith are the good time band ! This album is full of classics from there early days to the recent present and , are then a band !
So , forget about your corporate lifestyle , your investments , that new car and big house get back to were it was when you had long hair dirty jeans drank like a fish chased a few babes and , well you know what i mean ! God bless aerosmith !!
P.S. Apologies to anyone who finds this review offensive but as you know the truth hurts .

4 out of 5 stars Same Old Song and Dance - Yet another Compilation but the one worth getting!.......2007-03-23

Aerosmith have released over the years nine "Greatest Hits" Compilations!!! Outside their first and best back in 1980, this one, dubbed Ultimate Hits, is perhaps the best purchase a casual fan who was not around in their 70's hey day should pick up. It covers their entire output save the 77-86 period thus representing better value and wider appeal. Die hard fans should already have the original albums.

Disc One boasts one of the best collection of hard rock/blues recorded in the 70's. Each song is a classic representing the band on top of their game. Hungry, raw, rocking, sleazy and fun. There are a few tracks that should be included from this period but you can't fit them all in can you?
"Walk This Way" "Sweet Emotion" and "Dream On" all the big ones are here. "Season's Of Wither" is one underrated song, a highlight really.

The bands commercial comeback and commercial peak weaves into disc one and dominates disc 2 with well known material from their albums "Permanant Vacation" through to "Just Push Play", the latter providing the minor hit "Jaded" and a cool remix of the title track of that album. A couple of bonus tracks don't add much but "Come Together" and "Toys In The Attic" are good additions.

#1 smash hit, "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" the most well known of their latter, albeit uninspiring period. These days Aerosmith still have it in concert, but besides a decent middle of the road rock album half a decade ago, are in a flat spot as a recording entity and the release of another Hits compilation really highlights their lost muse for creating music.

Let's hope Aerosmith are back with one more classic album if they can steer clear of the gimmicks and focus on delivering like they once did.


5 out of 5 stars Truly The Ultimate.......2007-03-12

Aerosmith is a band that has done more then stand the test of time,they have showed bands half their age how to really rock!
This collection 'O Yeah' shows them from the 70s beginnings all the way through the 90s and beyond!

I would recommend this collection to any Aerosmith fan and really any fan of music in general,but I would also recommend getting the other 'greatest hits' package 'Young Lust' because it features a lot of songs from their Geffen years that aren't included on this release...O Yeah focuses on the Columbia years (it has some Geffen years songs but not enough) and the combination of this along with 'Young Lust' would give anyone a perfect overview of this group of music legends
I would still tell people who can afford it to go out and buy the entire catalog because it's really worth it but having 2 CDs with all the great hits is very convenient to have in your car

there are some new re-mixes of songs from their more recent albums which makes this worth having for those (like me) that already have the whole catalog,but really the two new songs alone are worth buying this,Girls Of Summer and Lay It Down are both great songs..but Girls Of Summer is actually one of the best Aerosmith songs ever recorded
I don't know how they do it but this band gets better all the time! (with the one exception of 'honking on bobo' but I hope they learned from that disaster)...if anyone would walk up to you and ask who Aerosmith is,this and Young Lust are the CDS you should play for them!

The Upside - an almost perfect overview of a brilliant career!This covers the early years,the Geffen years,and the columbia years

The Downside - Missing some important Geffen years songs,they completely ignore 'Done With Mirrors' on this release,and 'Night In The Ruts' and 'Rock In A Hard Place'

The Bottom Line - If someone asks you who Aerosmith is,play this and Young Lust..these are great packages and well worth the price...donutman says so!!!

5 out of 5 stars yay.......2007-02-28

I remember Aerosmith from when I was younger my parents were 70's and 80's rockers and that is what I remember growing up. I love this CD pack (two CDs) it has their greatest hits and it is good. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see what Aerosmith is like. For those of you who already love them I'd go with buying their other CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Aerosmith Ultimate Hits CD.......2007-01-20

This CD is an excellent compilation of Aerosmith's hits- it's even a better deal than the other Aerosmith complitaions because you get a few more songs! Bought for my bro for the holidays and i think i might listen to it more than him!

4 out of 5 stars Good/Great.......2006-02-26

As stated in a previous review, this CD set does have most of the songs that you would ever want from Aerosmith. The sound quality is also quite superb--there are sounds and notes in many of the songs that I never noticed before. To be honest, this was one of my first SACDs and when I first listened to it it was overwhelming, there were so many things that I could hear at once that my mind went into overload. I, however, was a little disappointed that my SACD came in a slip that said "multichannel/stereo" and it turned out to only contain the stereo track, but I am glad I can now hear the music the way the Aerosmith intended it to.

My listening environment:
Denon DVD player
Yamaha Receiver
Klipsch speakers

3 out of 5 stars All the songs you want, but not the quality.......2005-03-04

This two-disc SACD has every song you would want from Aerosmith...spanning the earliest hits to the most recent.
However, my opinion is to save your money for regular CD quality. I'm not an extensive SACD listener, but what I do have sounds better than this. The fact that it is only stereo and not multi-channel hurts it, and I don't see the point of the SACD. But if you love Aerosmith, this is the one (two) CD you need.

    5 out of 5 stars Has almost all my favorite aerosmith songs in 2 CDs!.......2002-12-17

    I just could do without the run dmc version of walk this way (no disrespect intended, I just would rather not have it on this cd), and wish that kings and queens and walking in the sand were on it.

    5 out of 5 stars WAY better than Young Lust.......2002-10-19

    This CD is the bomb! It has all the great Aerosmith hits, from early Aerosmith to power ballads to Just Push Play! There is the South Beach Mix of "Pink," which is just as great, or maybe even better, than the original "Pink." There is the Radio Remix of "Just Push Play." In other words, it's edited, but it's still an awesome, rocking song. There are two new great songs on this album, too. "Girls Of Summer," which was just released as a single, is great. Also, the other new song "Lay It Down" is really good. And just when you thought you couldn't get any more great Aerosmith, you get three bonus tracks! "Come Together," though not as good as The Beatles' version, is still good. "Theme From Spiderman" is phenominal. They use all the original lyrics, plus they add some great, rockin' fun to it! And everyone knows that "Toys In The Attic" is one of the most underrated songs ever. I recommend this CD way over the original. If you want 33, that's right, 33, great songs, this is the album for you. GO OUT AND BUY IT!
