Free Music Review: PUMP IT UP!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Admittley, I'm not an Aerosmith fan (though I'm not a fan of any band besides 311). I like their hits and really haven't gotten the urge to crack open even their seventies albums such as Rocks and Toys in the Attic (though I might in the future). As a matter of fact, most of their stuff hasn't really done much to impress me, as a matter of fact, this is my first Aerosmith album, and one where I gave a good listen to.
I must say, from what I've heard, this rocks and is more energetic and more rocking than anything from the 70's (Back In The Saddle, on a side note, is weaksauce). For one, just check out those drums! The drumming is quite powerful compared to anything else they did, just awesome, pumping, funky, rock and roll drumming! It reminds me of the punch that made John Bonham a legendary drummer. And Steven Tyler is more sleazy and more wild than he was in the 70's, his voice has definitely changed. There is a wide variety of music styles, ballads, rockers, bluesy songs, and hoedowns! I do enjoy the bits such as the Water Song. There is quite a bit in the variety department, and the album just flows better because of that. Here's an overview of the 10 songs
1.Young Lust-A glorious rock and roll song. It doesn't get any better than this!
2.F.I.N.E.-See Above
3.Love in an Elevator-See Above
4.Monkey On My Back-backed by a deep, rocking groove, Steven Tyler pumps it up and sings about getting rid of a drug addiction. Catchy, classic Aerosmith. Complete with some Whoo-hoo's that put michael jackson to shame.
5.Janie's Got A Gun-An almost great song with a good intro, but one thing that makes me mad is how they changed "He raped a little bitty baby" to "He jacked a little bitty baby". That just makes me mad, because the subject matter is serious, and why water something like it down for commerical purposes?
6.Take Me To the Other Side-Good horns go into a good, but not great poppy rock and roll song. It's one of my least favorites, but it gets the job done and sounds great, with good lyrics.
7.My Girl-One of my favorites, with a funky groove so irrestible. Hate if it was taken off.
8.Don't Get Mad, Get Even-A somewhat uninteresting chorus, but the verses are deep fried country, heck yeah!
9.Hoodoo-Voodoo Medicine Man-I like the bit at the beginning, but it turns into the only poor song on the album.
10.What It Takes-A ballad with any of the awful hair metal syndromes. Great jam at the end, more country.
Well, one thing I do know, Aerosmith wouldn't create something like this after release, instead getting the help of their producers and other people not in the band to make music a lot more (some helped on this, but it's mostly Aerosmith material). Too bad, though Just Push Play is an awesome song. They wouldn't release an album that's consistent near all the way.
9/10
Pump Poster
Building on the success of the more pop-oriented Permanent Vacation, this 1989 release banished any doubts that Aerosmith's unlikely late-'80s comeback was a fluke of nature--or merely the product of shrewd record company calculations. That Aerosmith could produce a pair of albums to rival Toys in the Attic and Rocks after a decade-and-change of decay and despair seemed all but unnatural. While Vacation's other key players (producer Bruce Fairbairn, outside songwriters Jim Vallance and Desmond Child) are still part of the mix, it's the band's familiar, tough swagger that powers this collection from the get-go. And while the Vallance-Child collaborations ("The Other Side" and the power ballad "What It Takes," respectively) were successful, it's telling that the album's twin pop-rock evergreens, "Love in an Elevator" and "Janie's Got a Gun," originated entirely within the band; the old dogs had not only learned a few new tricks, they seemed bent on tutoring their would-be trainers in the bargain. Pump is the high point of Aerosmith's improbable second chapter--and one of their best albums, period. --Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
