Album Description
Available in: Country Icon
Night in the Ruts es el sexto álbum de la banda estadounidense de rock Aerosmith.
Joe Perry dejó la banda a mitad de la grabación del álbum. El álbum fue producido inicialmente en Bands Warehouse / Rehearsal space por Jack Douglas, quien había producido los cuatro álbumes anteriores de Aerosmith, pero luego, Columbia Records contrató a Gary Lyons para reemplazar a Douglas como productor.

Aproximadamente a la mitad de la grabación del álbum, debido a la creciente deuda y la necesidad de que la banda generara ingresos, el sello discográfico y la gerencia pusieron a Aerosmith en otra gira sin tiempo extra para terminar el álbum, lo que empujó el lanzamiento del álbum. luego en el año. Joe Perry dejó la banda a la mitad de la gira, después de una pelea violenta que involucró a los miembros de la banda y sus esposas, y cuando el abuso de drogas se intensificó dentro de la banda. Antes de su partida, Perry había completado partes de guitarra para "No Surprize", "Chiquita", "Cheese Cake", "Three Mile Smile" y "Bone to Bone (Coney Island White Fish Boy)". Las partes de guitarra de las canciones restantes fueron grabadas por Brad Whitford, Richie Supa, Neil Thompson y Jimmy Crespo (quien luego se convirtió en el reemplazo oficial de Perry de 1979 a 1984).

A pesar de algunos elogios de la crítica y el éxito inicial, el álbum cayó rápidamente en las listas. Desde entonces, el álbum ha alcanzado el estatus de platino. Se filmaron videos promocionales de "No Surprize" y "Chiquita" (con el reemplazo de Perry, Jimmy Crespo); sin embargo, estos videos recibieron poca difusión televisiva. "Chiquita" está disponible en el Video Scrapbook VHS de la banda y en el disco láser.

El título es un cuchararismo intencional de la frase "justo en las nueces", que posteriormente fue el título de la gira y se mostró en la parte posterior del álbum.

User Album Review
The first song on Aerosmith’s seventh album is called “No Surprize,” and that about sums up Night in the Ruts. After some tentative attempts to expand its basic jock-rock sound with mandolins, banjos and an occasional female backup vocal on its last studio record, Draw the Line, Aerosmith returns to what it does best: playing America’s crass, punkier version of the Rolling Stones, with singer Steven Tyler an arrogantly combative Mick Jagger to guitarist Joe Perry’s coolly aloof Keith Richards.

But the fact that the finest moments on Night in the Ruts sound like inspired outtakes from Rocks and Toys in the Attic suggests that Aerosmith may be stuck in a hard-rock rut of its own. “Cheese Cake,” “Bone to Bone (Coney Island White Fish Boy)” and “No Surprize” are typical chain-saw rockers, Tyler howling like a wolf in heat while guitars ricochet around him. “Think about It,” an obscure Yardbirds B side, is also rendered with a reverential bluster that doesn’t cut the original, yet at least credits roots where credit is due.

So far, so-so, but the deviations from this norm are disastrous, if not in concept then in execution. Aerosmith’s attempt to redo the old Shangri-Las weeper, “Remember (Walking in the Sand),” is a regrettable example of stylistic indecision, sitting uncomfortably between the band’s hard-rock attack and the song’s original pseudo-Spectorian grandeur, with no small blame due Gary Lyons for his rather bland production. The one ballad here, Tyler’s “Mia,” is cloned from Aerosmith’s 1975 hit, “Dream On,” but all possible tension between the group’s electricity and the acoustic guitar and piano is negated by a surprisingly lifeless performance that’s as unsettling as it is unnecessary.

With Joe Perry now forming his own band, this isn’t the time for Aerosmith to be lying down on the job. It’s hardly a secret that when the spirit moves them and their amps are turned up to ten, these guys can deliver a paralyzing kick — as they imply in the graffiti on the back cover—right in the nuts. Night in the Ruts could have used it.
