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

2002 compilation featuring 30 tracks from their years with Columbia & Geffen. Hologram cover. 2002.

I like that one CD gives you all the great older sounds of Aerosmith, and the other CD contains a lot of their newer hits. I especially like that "Big 10 Inch" is on it! Killer!

This CD is great - it has all the goodies - if you like Aerosmith you will love this double CD!

Every since I watched the movie Armageden, I love Aerosmith. Great group and great songs.

I have been lately resorting and rebuilding my musical collection. I realized i only had a few of Aerosmith's CD's. Not to mention that they are all scratched up and old. This album was a fresh re-look at this legendary band!

i always loved the band's laid back and uplifting guitar rifts. Nice change from all the heavy metal stuff (which i equally enjoy) These guys really get the total harmonics and base guitar sounds balanced with every note... no to mention the solid drumming i hear!

I especially enjoy the fact that this was a remastered copy....oh yes there is a difference in sound! i might strike you a bit of an Audiophile.

I can't listen to allot of my music on iPods and MP3 players. If you are serious about music, any remastered disc will make your sound system really shine...such as this album!

All-in-all Aerosmith fans will appreciate this album.

This is a great Aerosmith 2 cd hits package,cross licencing from different labels gives us a nice career spanning collection!!! Sure a few hits my be missing,but thre's still lotsa great stuff here to enjoy,and most people own the original Columbia Greatest Hits,and Gems colletions,etc anyway Still with its modest shortcomings I still recommend it!!! Oh Yeah!!! A+
