Vincent Vega Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 What are your opinions of Aerosmth's records, from their comeback with "Permanent Vacation" to the present?Permanent Vacation (1987)Pump (1989)Get a Grip (1993)Nine Lives (1996)Just Push Play (1999)Honkin' on Bobo (2004)Music From Another Dimension (2012).I have to say I think Vacation, Pump and Get a Grip are awesome albums, but I am surprised at how popular Aerosmith was in the '90s, even at the very peak of the Grunge era, Aerosmith were still huge.

machinegunner Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well they really reformed for Done With Mirrors (1984) and were still pleasingly ramshackle, and then all (apparently) got clean, did that single with Run DMC, and then did Permanent Vacation. Anyway, here is my brief review of THAT album: Done With Mirrors (1984) - Pleasingly ramshackle effort with some nice loose riffs and gets rocking on a few numbers -- The Hop, Darkness, Let The Music Do The Talking...there are other effortlessly memorable numbers like My Fist Your Face. Even the songs that least well gel are not really unlikable. It seems like it was a short and quick album but it's pretty good. ***/5 will compare the others later, have to sleep.

Chinaski Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I actually really enjoyed Honkin On Bobo. It never gets mentioned but I guess it's because they came back after a five years with a record packed with covers. I liked it though. It seems pretty much impossible to do a version of Baby Please Don't Go that I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I like Pump, my favorite Aerosmith album Pump is my go-to post-reunion album. It flows so well. l liked a good deal of Get A Grip as well, from then on it's just select songs here and there from the other albums.

Sweatty Teddy Nugent opened up. 1 thing I remember during the Aerosmith show was there was a beach ball bouncing around, it made its way up to the stage and Steven kicked it back into the crowd, to keep it going(Big applause from the crowd)! Then the ball made its way back to the stage and Joe Perry grabbed it and threw it off backstage. A big BOO from the crowd. It's a freaking beach ball Joe, whats the problem??

ShadowOfTheWave Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Permanent Vacation has some great songs, same with Pump. Get A Grip & Nine Lives, I enjoy the hits. Just Push Play, I like a couple songs. MFAD=shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzygirl Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Get a grip or Pump are my favourites. Love in an elevator is a really good song. Edited April 25, 2013 by izzygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Nine Lives was very underrated. I would say it's their strongest post-70s album. Hole In My Soul is my favourite Aerosmith ballad and even the lesser known album tracks are excellent (especially The Farm and Crash).

Gordon Comstock Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Not enough love for Nine Lives in this thread, that album is fucking awesome. Full Circle might be their best song. I like Just Push Play for the most part, but I think Stevens melodies can be the weak link in some parts....

The Real McCoy Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Falling in Love is hard on the Knees is a classic."Nine Lives" is a GREAT album. Extremely underrated.I gave "Just Push Play" a listen the other day. That album has aged very well. "Sunshine" should have been a bigger hit than it was.
