AEROSMITH – MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION

 4-5

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. So even if you take out 4 ballads it’s still 11 rocking tunes. It is not a perfect album, but it is damn good. The production is warm and not over compressed. You hear everything. All the band members (still original) write and contribute. Many different sides and stuff that hints at classic Aerosmith. “Street Jesus”, “Luv XXX”, “Beautiful”, “Out Go The Lights”, “Oh Yeah”, all just vintage sounding Aerosmith. Joe Perry on vocals for two tracks “Freedom Fighter” and “Something” which also features Tyler on drums. The Zeppelin-ish Legendary Child features Tyler in top form, spitting out the story of the band in a way only he can. Monster riffing and the ageless Joey Kramer laying down the signature pocket like only he can. Having seen three live shows so far on the tour, the band STILL gets it done on stage too. Great accomplishment for a band at this stage in their career and after waiting so long for it they delivered. For me the best Aerosmith album since Pump. Also check out the band drawing in the CDs booklet, it was done by Slash when he was a kid. Pretty cool!amazon

    I was very disapointed in this album not at all what I thought it would be more like a tyler solo record and after VAN HALEN and KISS put out Great album’s in 2012 – AEROSMITHS MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION JUST DONT STACK UP !!!

    Eddie played Street Jesus last week on Sirius, and it blew me away, never thought a song they released nowadays would be as killer as those early records…amazing.

    I heard the album via Youtube – as I usually do – and immediately after I bought the album. It´s really an album from another dimension. I totally agree with the Eddie’s review.

    FYI, I’m the biggest Aerosmith fan in the world. Now in 2001 when they released Just Push Play, I was embarrassed! I thought it was mostly crap. In my opinion, Nine Lives is the beat record they ve ever done, and then there was Music From Another Dimension. Wow!! With the exception of the song Beautiful, I think M.F.A.D. is the best record Aerosmith have ever done!! I can listen to this album backwards & forwards, over & over!!!!! Also, if you re waiting for another Rocks or Toys, then keep on waiting! That was 35+years ago. Aerosmith has evolved. They re like a fine wine, they keep getting better with time!

      Funny Beautiful is a fave of mine!

    Well, Aerosmith is always fun… my favorite album, “Done With Mirrors”, was also not well-received by critics, so I guess we’ll have to wait to “understand” this one.
