Under this new deal, that lucrative catalog is now wholly controlled by UMG. However, the majority of their albums were released by Sony’s Columbia Records, including such multi-platinum sellers as their 1973 self-titled debut, 1974’s Get Your Wings, 1975’s Toys in the Attic, 1976’s Rocks, 1977’s Draw the Line and 1997’s Nine Lives. Material from these archives will be utilized in future releases to provide fans access to never-before-seen-and-heard music, photos, video footage, artwork, journals, set lists and memorabilia.Īerosmith released some of their most successful albums through UMG’s Geffen Records in the ’80s and ’90s, including 1987’s Permanent Vacation (five-times platinum), 1989’s Pump and 1993’s Get a Grip (both seven-times platinum). The agreement also gives UMG access to the band’s “Vindaloo Vaults” and the personal archives of band members Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford, who will help curate their collections. But these guys have made a living proving people wrong when people said they’re done.How Aerosmith, Gaga & Robotic Chandeliers Are Elevating Live Music In Vegas You can’t recapture the hunger you had when you were 25 when you’re pushing 65. That being said I think that if the band continues to let Whitford and Hamilton continue to have more input on songs… If they can capture the energy of their latest live shows … If Joe Perry can put to tape some of the riffs from the latest tour… If they just say to hell with writing another “Jaded” and NOT try to create something they did 35 years ago… Another album would come out great. Three songs in then it switches up on the third. It hints at it then loses it’s momentum with a ballad or another direction. Yes Pump covered other topics with drug abuse, child molestation, break ups but largely it’s a record that sounds like dinosaurs eating cars. First three songs ( Young Lust, F.I.N.E., Love in an Elevator )… All songs about confident, dirty, and fun sex. But look at the standard in which they are judged with Pump. If you’re going through a break up, buy the album. The lyrics go from angry to down right sad. Yes it’s very obvious Steven Tyler is broken up over the divorce of him and Teressa. I think what it’s missing is the bravado we are used to.
Probably my favorite lyrics on the record. “Luv XXX” is a great example that Perry/Tyler can grab you by the balls and hit you with a great riff and witty lyrics. It has the same humor we come to love in Tyler’s lyrics ( livin on coochie and romance!) It has some great riffs in there and I think ” oh yeah” is just a great classic Joe Perry rock n roll song. Lots of natural reverb, back round “whoo!” and mic bleed. The thing that saved this one is the live feel. Not production wise but in just plain writing. I think it’s a lot like done with mirrors in that it just sounds a little incomplete. This was 10 years of all kinds of shit going on in the band and a year or writing, recording, and post production. This album wasn’t 10 years of writing songs and this was the finished product. I’m also a musician and listen pretty deeply to songs and production. I am the biggest Aerosmith fan on the planet. Also check out the band drawing in the CDs booklet, it was done by Slash when he was a kid. For me the best Aerosmith album since Pump. Great accomplishment for a band at this stage in their career and after waiting so long for it they delivered.

Having seen three live shows so far on the tour, the band STILL gets it done on stage too. Monster riffing and the ageless Joey Kramer laying down the signature pocket like only he can. The Zeppelin-ish Legendary Child features Tyler in top form, spitting out the story of the band in a way only he can. Joe Perry on vocals for two tracks “Freedom Fighter” and “Something” which also features Tyler on drums. “Street Jesus”, “Luv XXX”, “Beautiful”, “Out Go The Lights”, “Oh Yeah”, all just vintage sounding Aerosmith. Many different sides and stuff that hints at classic Aerosmith. All the band members (still original) write and contribute. The production is warm and not over compressed. It is not a perfect album, but it is damn good.

So even if you take out 4 ballads it’s still 11 rocking tunes.

I hear much about the amount of ballads on this album, but nobody says it also has 15 songs on the standard edition, 20 on the deluxe.
