This disc is an example of how good hard rock can sound when the engineers back off on the compression. It is clean, open and has terrific dynamics. Another album that, in retrospect, I should have rated higher than the 8 that I originally gave it. I probably would re-rate it a 9 or 10...and I don't even like Aerosmith. My friend's son came over and I played it for him in 5.1. I wish you all could have seen the joy on his face at hearing one of his favorite bands sounding so good.
