Aerosmith captured everyone's attention with
Toys in the Attic. It was different at the time, and sort of mixed up rock a bit.
Rocks definitely takes on more of that metal vibe in 1976. Steven Tyler's vocals almost sound a tad different at times, and this album definitely has a little bit more going for it. This album would go on to influence many bands including Guns N' Roses (which you can tell), and Metallica. It's very staple in the rock community.
"Back in the Saddle" was a good way to kick off the album. It has a good beat, and gets whoever the listener is off their feet. It just has a lot of movement about the song. Something about it halfway through loses it's flare though. Aerosmith establishes their sound pretty early in this one after the first couple of minutes with that song.
