Aerosmith - Box Of Fire (13-CD Set)WV-IMG+CUE+LOGs | Full Covers | 521:14 min | 3,55 GB
The Definitive Aero-Collection - All 12 Original Albums + | “ | Aerosmith was one of the most popular hard rock bands of the '70s, setting the style and sound of hard rock and heavy metal for the next two decades with their raunchy, bluesy swagger. The Boston-based quintet found the middle ground between the menace of the Rolling Stones and the campy, sleazy flamboyance of the New York Dolls, developing a lean, dirty riff-oriented boogie that was loose and swinging and as hard as a diamond.
For the serious Aerosmith fan looking to obtain all of the band's classic releases for Columbia, 1994's Box of Fire is a quintessential purchase. Included are all of the band's 12 releases for their original record company, as well as a five-track bonus disc that features previously unreleased/hard-to-find songs (an absolute highlight of which is a killer reading of "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu"). All of the albums have been remastered from the original source tapes using 20-bit technology, and the packaging is excellent -- each CD booklet is chock-full of classic photos and memorabilia from each specific album's era. Such Aero masterpieces as 1974's Get Your Wings, 1975's Toys in the Attic, and 1976's Rocks have only improved with age; and by listening back to such releases as Draw the Line and Night in the Ruts (which were both panned by critics when first issued), you'll discover many forgotten classics. Although not all of the albums consist of original material (three live albums and two greatest-hits packages are included in the set), Box of Fire is highly recommended despite its steep price.

| “ | Starting with the band's self-titled debut, all the great albums that helped serve as inspirations for countless bands are here, including TOYS IN THE ATTIC, DRAW THE LINE, GET YOUR WINGS, and ROCKS. Beyond hits like "Walk This Way" and "Back in the Saddle" are nuggets like "Seasons of Wither", "Critical Mass", "No Surprize" and "Major Barbra". Live Aerosmith comes in the form of the unfiltered LIVE: BOOTLEG and the more sonically cleaned-up CLASSICS I and II. New versions of "Sweet Emotion" and "Dream On" make up the bonus disc along with a rollicking cover of "Rocking Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" and a pair of hard-hitting DRAW THE LINE-era instrumentals.
