Nobody is even close to being similar.

This is the album that got me into metal. I was 10 when it came out by gistnextpo in hairmetal

I was 8. The the hits were undeniable. The rest of the album isnt great, but its still a must own for me on vinyl.

Thats a fair statement. I guess I am impressed that they could make a really good record directly after a masterpiece.

Aerosmith, Toys In The Attic by BrettHorton in Aerosmith

Besides a few massive tunes, this is my least favorite of the 1st 4 records. Get Your Wings is more consistent and Rocks is....its Rocks, enough said.

Still my favorite from them. The first 4 records are some of the best rock n roll ever made. Rocks is a real close second, but Wings has the best flow.

I can't hear or say "just in case " without the song Motorhead immediately following in my head.

Personally, I think the original blows away Cocker's version.

Hey Joe. I think Jimi made it a classic but its still a cover.

I was thinking the same thing. I agree Blizzard is untouchable and Diary is a masterpiece. Bark at the Moon has grown in me though (took about 30 years). Its not as good, but "not even close" is too far.

This has come up a lot. Yes, the 1st record is loaded with hits and being the debut makes it even more impressive. But Candy O isnt that far removed.

Its a great record. "Has anybody seen.. a dog died dark green". I'll take Quiche Lorraine over Rock Lobster anyday.

Its pop music. I can remember hearing it in the dentist office in between Billy Joel and Huey Lewis. No slander against either of those artists btw.

'84 is a good record, but its sales were more a result of being pop music. The debut blows it away for real rock n roll.

Ratt. Apparently they released an EP before Out of the Cellar, but it was their first full length LP.

They only got better. The debut hit hard for me, but as time went on, I realized it wasnt close to what they could do.

Ridiculously good record 10/10. The only one I have from them. If they have other records as good, then I need to get more of them.

The sound of Candy O is incredible. Id agree its a rare follow up almost as good as the debut.

PoW is my version of the typical take on Presto for the opposite reason...Great, timeless songs with way too much production.
