Like the diamonds on the cover, the songs collected here are hard enough to cut glass. Gems repackages the raw, relentless rockers left off their previous greatest-hits comp, like the bluesy burners "Rats In the Cellar" and "Lick and a Promise," both from Rocks, plus the boogie-grooving "Mama Kin" and raunchy, seething "Lord of the Thighs." "Train Kept a-Rollin'" is the literal crowd favorite here, a churning jam that regularly closes Aerosmith's live shows.
