“Legendary Child” was the first single from the album, and this song is actually pretty good. This song could have been one of Aerosmith’s biggest hits, but it is overall a let down. It is about two minutes longer than it needs to be.
I think it could have been a stronger song without this. I think the background singers weaken the track with their vocal piece on the lyrics “If You Want to Take A Lookie, Cookie Tonight Might Be Your Lucky, Nighty Nite Nite”. “Out Go The Lights” might just have one of the best Aerosmith riffs in recent years, the problem with this song is the background singers. The jangly guitars give this song a feel more akin to Aerosmith’s later material, but I am a fan of all eras of Aerosmith so that isn’t a problem for me.
“Beautiful” could possibly be a hit for Aerosmith, but time will tell on this one. This is a pretty catchy, yet simple tune. “Oh Yeah” sounds like it could have been on Get A Grip. The opening track “Luv XXX” sounds like a classic Aerosmith track, and that is great, but the lyrics are just stupid. The album starts off strong enough, but about midway through it starts to taper off, and suffers from far too many ballads. On a positive note, the band has brought in Jack Douglas to produce the album, and the overall production is very good. If you are an Aerosmith fan, chances are you probably have this in your collection already anyway. Sure there are some good songs, but nothing that will probably overwhelm you, and say OOOOOH, I have to run out and buy the new Aerosmith album. With there being so much infighting in the band, and Steven Tyler’s stint on American Idol, I was doubtful that the band, in its current state of healthĬould deliver an album worthy of the Aerosmith name.Īfter listening to the CD several times, my thoughts are this: Music From Another Dimension suffers from too many ballads, too many tracks, and an overall cohesive feel. Quite frankly, I didn’t have high hopes for Aerosmith’s latest effort. Music From Another Dimension is just average. I was hoping that my initial opinion of this release would change with a few repeat listens. I have been listening to Aerosmith’s Music From Another Dimension for a couple of weeks now.
