5.0 out of 5 stars Reefer Headed Woman, April 9, 2005

I'm with the last reveiwer that Chip Away The Stone should have been included on this album, rather than on the cutting room floor. I compare this album to my favorite Aerosmith album, Get Your Wings. Every song here is true Aerosmith, rotten to the core. Check out Three Mile Smile, No Suprise, Cheese Cake and of course, REEFER HEADED WOMAN. This album rocks and was almost completely overlooked. There was a slight hit with Remember (Walking In The Sand) an old Shangra-La's song.

Do yourself a favor, don't think about it, just buy this album. You'll love it.

I've been an Aerosmith fan since 1979 and through it all I've stuck with'm. I haven't reviewed the more popular Aerodiscs yet as I've found it more interesting to comment on the records the real dedicated fans have. I'll let the bandwagoneers handle their 5 star shout fests on the more wellknown albums "Toys" "Rocks" and the like. This record "Night in the Ruts" effectionatly known as "Right in the Nuts" is one of the most overlooked. Joe Perry had left during it's making and was doomed by the industry from that point even before it's release in '79. The old school critics couldn't wait to knock it from the day it came out. As bad as Steven T was in those days(D-R-U-G-S) he could write those hard rockers like noone else before or since. Songs such as "No Surprise""Chiquita" and "Three Mile Smile" are umung boys best, yes they are as good as any on "Rocks". There I've said it. I love "Coney Island Whitefish Boy" almost as much and the cover of "Think About It" is flawless. I've heard the original YARDBIRDS version of it and they owe a debt of gratitude to Aerosmith for recreating it into pure perfection, even better than the cover of "Train Kepta Rollin'" another YARDBIRDS remake off "Get Your Wings" from '74. Steven may have changed his mind since but he's gone so far as to call "No Surprise" is his favorite Aerosmith song. It's up there for me and I love alot of them. I may be alone on this one but this record is only a couple songs away from being a "10" (or 5 stars in this case). "Nights" is awesome but it's too short. If you think your a real fan buy it, live it, love it.

If you like the newer, more pop-rock Aerosmith you may not like this. This was the last album they recorded before Joe Perry allegedly physically fought with Steven Tyler over Tyler's drug addiction and left the band. There's no Rag Doll, no Dude Looks Like A Lady, and especially no sappy Don't Wanna Miss A Thing movie song here. Just good old-fashioned American hard-driving rock & roll, powerful and true. Even their cover of Remember (Walking In The Sand) on this disc had a good edge to it. I love every song, my personal favorites are the first two, No Surprize and Chiquita. Chiquita features a tough, gritty Joe Perry guitar riff, and Joey Kramer hits 'em so hard it sounds like he'll put the sticks thru 'em. If you want to hear the REAL Aerosmith, before they went Hollywood, give this one a listen.
