Pump


By 1989, Aerosmith was flying high on their road of success. So they turn up the heat, bringing the sleaze, the grit and the bite back into their music. The ending result for Pump was the most their hyper-maniac record since 1976's Rocks! Arena anthems like "Love in the Elevator", "Young Lust", "F.I.N.E." and "The Other Side" are sure fire scorchers! The even expanded their song writing skills as seen on tunes like the dramatic "Janie's Got a Gun" and the drug busting hellion "Monkey on My Back" It's a must get album!

Permanent Vacation

The tide has finally turned for the better for Aerosmith. Exiting drug rehab, the Toxic Twins make a shift from the heavy metal like sounds to a more of a blues based album gives the band the comeback of a lifetime! With help from outside writers and MTV, Permanent Vacation shoots up the top of the charts, spawning hit singles like "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)", "Rag Doll", "Angel", and "Hangman Jury". The rest of the album rocks as well!

Done With Mirrors

A valiant effort by the reunited Aerosmith! With Joe Perry and Brad Whitford back in the fold, the band puts out a solid and underrated album. Although it's weak at spots, it's their best work since 1977's Draw the Line. Their time will come...

Rock in a Hard Place

With guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford gone and vocalist Steven Tyler all smacked up on heroin, Aerosmith was a mess. Aside from two mediocre tunes, this album is garbage. Not even replacements Rick Dufay and Jimmy Crepso could have saved this album.

Greatest Hits

Although a gigantic seller of 11 million copies in the US alone, this compilation is rather half assed. Edited versions of their most popular songs doesn't sit too well with me. C'mon now, "Sweet Emotion" without the ending guitar solo? Plaeese!! The only reason to get this album is get Aerosmith's cover of the Beatles' "Come Together".
