And truely, you can't complain about it being cheesy, because what else could we expect? Steven Tyler: Touch my Body and Pound the Lazy Song Style? He is his own thing, and rather you like his flare or not, he's going to pertrude it other your way, like a grizzled **** So, rather you're a long time fan who heralds his return, or a new age song snob snapping your fingers to another tune, I find it to be a very acceptable set of tunes. At times I feel Steven tries a bit too hard to appeal to what the common day folk consider to be the listen worthy, but he defiantly doesn't conform. This album isn't perfect, and that's for damn sure. Now we aren't gasping for breath with too many dance tunes, with the current toppers being as far from the common fare as possible by our slanted views, it certainly is a much appreciated breath.
Aerosmith's well preserved sound serves to be a fresh injection of genres we almost forgot exists. With a new delicious dose of spectacular Aerosmith jams, this should hold us over until some sort of musical deities swoop us away, and take us to a contemporary land where music reins supreme and no one thinks Nicki Minaj is a good singer anymore.
With a new delicious dose of spectacular If according to the critics liking this album is wrong, than oh boy do I not want to be to right. If according to the critics liking this album is wrong, than oh boy do I not want to be to right. Here is my playlist Luv XXX, OH Yeah, Beautiful, Tell Me, Out Go The Lights, Legendary Child, Street Jesus, Lover A lot, Freedom Fighter, Something, Another Last Goodbye. I just wish they would release a high def version of this because I don't think cd or mp3 does this justice. The band sound like they are all playing together in the same room and the guitars playing is some of their best in a long time Steven Tyler's voice sounds as good as it always has just with more natural rasp. It's the album minus the fat, and without the aforementioned ballads I am quite satisfied. I made a playlist and it's getting heavy rotation in my car and pad. Now I start to see the reasoning behind the mass amounts of tracks the band wants to appease ALL their fans, so you jerks who all bought the armageddon sound track and all their greatest hits albums you get no less then 2 syrupy ballads to weep queitly in your snuggies to, and yes the band plays them well ( 3 if you count the much better Another Last Goodbye) and the hopeless American idol groupies will no doubt like Can't stop loving you with Carrie Underwood well performed, but why? So for those of us that want loud guitars and that Aerosmith groove and soul + the experimental Aero weirdness and psychedelic sounds, we get some of the best stuff they've done since Pump. An Aerosmith album should be short hard hitting and to the point ie Toys, Get your Wings, Rocks, Pump as opposed to the bloated long plays like get a grip and nine lives. See when I noticed how many tracks were on this I wondered how it could stand up to other Aerosmith records. I will be the first to admit that at first I was disappointed with this album, but after multiple listens and the wonders of the digital age I I will be the first to admit that at first I was disappointed with this album, but after multiple listens and the wonders of the digital age I realize that it's brilliant.
