Album Notes Aerosmith: Steven Tyler (vocals, harmoncia, keyboards); Joe Perry (guitar, background vocals); Brad Whitford (guitar); Tom Hamilton (bass, background vocals); Joey Kramer (drums). Additional personnel: Catherine Epps (spoken vocals); John Webster (keyboards); Bob Dowd (background vocals). The Margarita Horns: Tom Keenlyside, Ian Putz, Henry Christian, Bruce Fairbairn. Recorded at Little Mountain Studios, Vancouver, Canada. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Following the triumphant comeback success of PERMANENT VACATION, Aerosmith's next album, PUMP, proved to be an opportunity for the band to cut back on the army of songwriters that had lent its hand on the prior album. Most of the material on 1989's PUMP was generated from within the band, and Jim Vallance and Desmond Child are the album's only outside collaborators. Sober and fully functional, Aerosmith used the momentum of success to churn out songs that tapped into the band's libidinous instincts, like "Young Lust" and "Love in an Elevator." The band also took a chance by including a Steven Tyler/Tom Hamilton hit about incest ("Janie's Got a Gun"), a semi-autobiographical rant about the evils of drug use ("Monkey on My Back"), and a bluegrass/Indian instrumental ("Dulcimer Stomp"). Although the brassy "The Other Side" and the power-ballad "What it Takes" became top-30 hits, it was with lesser-known songs like the Stones-esque pop nugget "My Girl" that Aerosmith showed it was still capable of being America's top rock & roll band.

Reviews Review created: 05/09/07 by: I was really glad to get this album on CD.It really is the last great Aerosmith album.What makes it so great is the socially conscious songwriting on "Janie's Got a Gun"(about child abuse and incest)and the musical experimentation(the band used some exotic instruments to create this album).Overall,even though the lyrics are typically raunchy at times("Young Lust";"Love In An Elevator"),Aerosmith really did sound like they were having fun making this album and not simply fulfilling contractual obligations.

He has an incredible voice and the harmonies in his songs are fantastic. Fun and upbeat.....sexy and intense naughty boy lyrics. A definate must have album for classic rock lovers. You just can't sit still when you listen to this album. Review ID: 10000000001895869 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
