Hit: 3 Stars
No band could have fallen further faster than the almighty Aerosmith by the dawn of their second decade. Joe Perry and Brad Whitford were gone (Brad actually stayed for some of the recording of 'Rock in a Hard Place') and so was the magic. Drugs had destroyed the band but even in the depths of their depravity and borderline irrelevance, Steven Tyler got enough of his stuff together (is this man a miracle or what?) to record and release 'Rock in a Hard Place' in the late summer of 1982. Long gone were the sold out shows, unaccountable decadence and devoted fan follow of their hard rock disciples who had long since abandoned them for AC/DC and Van Halen. That this record was made and that it isn't half bad is the true phenomenon. With a new duo of Jimmy Crespo (who joined in 'Night in the Ruts') and Rick Dufay, Tyler soldiered on to labor through the song writing process that was becoming increasingly difficult for his drug dependent state of mind. Faves include "Lightning Strikes" a powerful and incredibly underrated song that you won't find on any Aerosmith compilations, yet album opener (and the ridiculously overrated) "Jailbait" is on at least two. Other quality cuts include "Bitch's Brew" and the title track but much of the rest is subpar. Inclusion of tired cover "Cry Me a River" would seem to indicate the difficulty of getting good material out of Steven at this point, but the man's vocal performance is still stunning and a testament to his enormous talent. On basically a flatline, Aerosmith who be given a dose of much need adrenaline in a couple of years with the return of Perry and Whitford and the beginnings of the comeback...but the climb back would not be easy...
