Aerosmith has really had an up and down career. I never got into them until the mid 80's so most of their early music is lost to me. Seen the band twice in concert, good show both times, but it has been around 20 years since I saw them.
Greatest Hits (A-) a good start for the early years of the group. Some concert favorites are left, and mainly went for the radio hits. But with only 10 songs (about the limit for a record) I can see why.
Permanent Vacation (B+) Cd starts out good and keeps going for most part. Kind of falls apart at the end, but a good comeback effort. Standouts are Hearts Done Time, Magic Touch, Dude Looks Like A Lady, Rag Doll, Angel, and Hangman Jury. The Movie and I'm Down, do just that bring the cd down.
Pump (A-) This whole cd rocks, even the slow songs. Standouts are Love In The Elevator, Jamie's Got A Gun, The Other Side, Don't Get Mad Get Even, Voodoo Medicine Man, and What It Takes.
Get A Grip (B) Amazing, Livin On The Edge, Crazy, Cryin, Eat The Rich, and Get A Grip is some of Aersomith's finest work, but the rest of the cd falls flat.
Big Ones (A-) All the big hits from the last 3 cds mentioned above are here, plus 3 new songs, that should have been left off in favor of hits.
Nine Lives (C+) This is a very boring cd, both song, performance, and production wise. Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees) and Pink (the better remix is not on the cd) are the only songs that make this woth putting on
A Little South Of Sanity (C-) is an ok live cd. All the hits from past and present are here, plus some concert favorites. But for the most part the group seems to be walking through the songs. I have better bootlegs of the band than this cd.
Just Push Play (B-) A return to greatness? No, but a better cd than 9 Lives. Jaded, Just Push Play, Beyond Beautiful, and Fly Away from Here are the standouts on this cd. Sad to say the rest is just filler.
TYoung Lust; The Aerosmith Anthology (A-),O Yeah the Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (A) are both good double disk packages that contain the early and later day hits of the bad. Young list covers the early years through live material, and O Yeah offers so descent new songs. Both collection have some of their soundtrack work, including I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, from the movie Armageddon.
