Hit: 5 Stars
Aerosmith enjoys popularity these days decades after they formed their band. Their rock sounds are classic and catchy at the same time; and their rock ballads move me very much. This CD, entitled Get A Grip, gives us Aerosmith at their very best.
"Eat The Rich" gets some of its power by switching back and forth rapidly from major and minor keys; the electric guitars also make this number special. Love that percussion--Steve Tyler and Joe Perry sing like no other duo! The underlying beat from the drums and percussion work to make this a song that rocks hard; and Aerosmith lets people rail against the rich to express their anger that some people are "more equal that other" simply because they are wealthy. Great! "Get A Grip" also uses drums and percussion for the underlying main beat of this number; and the use of major and minor chords in "Get A Grip" proves to be a strong tactic to make this "Get A Grip" rock hard! You will like "Get A Grip" very much!
"Livin' On The Edge" gives us a beautiful rock ballad by this stellar band; Aerosmith cries out against everything bad in this world. The electric guitars work to bolster this number; and Steven Tyler sings this flawlessly with Joe Perry helping him well. Great! Good chorus, too. "Cryin'" rocks hard but remains squarely in the realm of rock ballad; Steven Tyler sings of how he was sad without a true love before he met his girlfriend; but now that she's gone he's equally sad once again. "Cryin'" uses the drums and percussion very well; and those classic chord and tempo changes make this a beautiful rock ballad. "Cryin'" is worth the price of admission all on its own!
"Amazing" recalls Steven Tyler's true story of how he used drugs that didn't help him at all even though at the time he thought they were making his life less painful. This passionate ballad moves me with its beauty; and Steven sings with without a superfluous note! The band back him up flawlessly; "Amazing" is easily a highlight of this album; and I believe that it's one of their best songs ever as well. I especially like the way Aerosmith uses the strings to lift this number even higher; and the band jams like they never did before on "Amazing."
The CD track set ends with the instrumental "Boogie Night." The electric guitars start playing softly and then as they get louder "Boogie Man" takes off like a jet! Good bass from Tom Hamilton, too.
The liner notes include great artwork and we also get the lyrics to all the songs on this CD. Awesome!
Aerosmith scored a major coup with Get A Grip; and if we're lucky they'll never stop!
Rock on, Aerosmith!
Get a Grip Poster
While Aerosmith were busy capitalizing on the successes spawned by its improbable, career-reviving Permanent Vacation and Pump albums, the rock world was undergoing a Nirvana-inspired seismic shift. And although the Boston boogie-rockers had long worn the "dinosaur" tag as a badge of honor, this 1993 album is evidence that they took the twin challenges posed by the upsurge of alternative and hip-hop as something more than mere inconvenience. Unfortunately, the sometimes painfully forced, something-for-everyone results only argued that musicians should stick to their guns, come hell, high water--or ominous fashion trends. Or maybe they should have heeded the old adage about too many cooks. Indeed, Aerosmith is supplemented--and sometimes seemingly supplanted--here by no less than six outside writers (including previous vets Desmond Child and Jim Vallance, as well as Hudson brother Mark and retro soul-rocker Lenny Kravitz), and the schizoid production of Vacation and Pump helmsman Bruce Fairbairn, who seems as comfortable with alt rock's less-is-more ethos as Stone Cold Steve Austin would be in a tutu. The band should've known better, too. The social consciousness of "Livin' on the Edge" seems contrived, with Steven Tyler's intermittent rapping utterly disconnected from that on his pioneering "Walk This Way," while "Eat the Rich" inexplicably promotes auto-cannibalism. It's an album that goes all over the map to get uncomfortably close to nowhere. --Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
