Rough, dirty, Aerosmith up!

With Permanent Vacation, the band delivered a highly successful comeback from, with pumping an undisputed masterpiece and now there with a Get a Grip Aerosmith all-inclusive package and although fully turned to the 12!

Something harder and dry-gaudy they have become, the boys around the chronically sex-addicted Steven Tyler, yelling as if there were no tomorrow. All typical Aerosmith trademarks contained on this superb album again: Slightly sluggish riffs, bluesy, dirty, playful solos, lots of screaming, with a wink-kitschy power ballads and hard rock in its purest form, and lyrics about sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and (dominant than ever represented) social problems. And some places still imperfect and noisy drying as in the 70s, only larger-scale and free from drugs. And thus begins the album also equal with some grandiose rock songs, which are totally captivate the listener. Eat the Rich is overwhelming thrilling and impulsive. The riffs here just gushing joy of life. Similar to the typical grooving Get a Grip, in which probably no dance floor will stand still while the typical kreischige melodies including Power Quinte is used consistently awesome. Insane song! Thus Fever can not keep up, but is nevertheless still a very acceptable Rocker.

Livin 'on the Edge then represents the first bit beruhigtere song. In contrast to the somewhat kitschy but beautifully melodic and still rough, but orchestrated, and provided with interesting lyrics song Amazing, first mentioned song but comes without power balla Disch-typical influences. While it's not quite fit into the topmost Song league, but at least it's a dry, stubborn stomping, very beautiful song. And the bridge convinced once again by a very driven character.

Speaking of power ballads. Because we would then Crazy and Cryin '(in the broad sense). The former is a corny, quiet, yet grandiose and bluesy love song. Tyler convinces with its insane, strained timbre as Perry with his soulful guitar solo. In between there are poignant melodies, like so probably only Steven Tyler can sing. Eben such and a stronger harmonica component are in brass phrased Cryin '. Yes, the verse may be a little calmer, but it's actually a ballad but then not. For this, the snappy 6/8-cycle simply goes too forward and the band excels once again in joy. Tyler's usual brilliant melody lines can thereby be mentioned quietly again.

And do not worry: With all-inclusive package is also precisely this meant. There are still plenty of good rockers on the album to the different type of songs to compensate. A special mention here is the song Flesh. In the verse, the reef may still sound like any other good Rockriff. Something dark and exciting. But in the chorus, the band engages well completely. Screaming a well lunatic mix with accents rhythm of the drums and syncopated riffs, which are combined with straight chords. Sounds complicated? Ok, actually you just have to know: The chorus is awesome and can completely turn listeners of sheer rock feelings.

Two successful experiments should not go unmentioned. Joe Perry returns with Walk on down a specially sung Songe from which a typical, straighter rocker just confident and in Gotta love it, the band heard thanks to cool rhythms and original hooks a bit and after a crossover of old-school hip-hop, funk pop rock on. Extremely successful experiment.

Conclusion: there is not much more to say except for this disk: Every rock fan needs! Here is something for everyone, some ballads and plenty of melodies and many loud, dirty rockers.
