Same Old Song and Dance ? Nine Lives for AEROSMITH

bysilktempest Aug 16, 2004
33 Helpfuls 34 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros AEROSMITH, surviving once again. A handful of great numbers
Cons Not much spontaneity and grit. Overlabored passages. An exhausted band. And, of course,...
Recommended it? Yes

First and foremost, this album is a virtual MIRACLE. Not only engendered by a band on the verge of split, it was built from the scratch after their recording company rejected an entire innovative batch of songs. AEROSMITH, living on the edge.

There was a negative convergence for the band... Read full review »

Cons Depends on the version you get...
Recommended it? Yes

Album originally released: March 1997.

After hearing many Aerosmith songs on the radio, and knowing pretty much most of them anyway I thought it was time to purchase an album. After all, every Aerosmith fan has to have at least one. I went to my local store and had a look at what CDs were... Read full review »

These cats must have nine lives

byninelives353 May 5, 2003
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Rocks out more than "Get a Grip", a few semi-classics.
Cons Sounds a little strained, not the return to "Pump" form that we hoped for.
Recommended it? Yes

I've felt recently that Aerosmith are somewhat an under-valued band in the higher echelons of music critique. They are, of course, my favourite band and as a result I am fairly biased. But when you see the praise heaped on other long standing bands of twenty years plus (Rolling Stones, Bee Gees,... Read full review »

The best Aerosmith Cd of the 90s . . . . . . by far

bymhw182 May 2, 2003

Pros This album truly covered a whole new type of sound for Aerosmith.
Cons The only song on the Cd that I didn't enjoy as much was Pink.
Recommended it? Yes

The album begins with an opening that shows Aerosmith's rock side in an awesome way. This opening is similar to Permanent Vacation's opening. I feel it's one of the best songs on the album. The entire album portrays many different sounds. Every song is unique to the others, which made the album... Read full review »

After GAG, Aerosmith Shows They Have Nine Musical Lives (Aero W/O)

byMattA75 Mar 27, 2003

Pros old and new Aerosmith collide and it works
Cons a couple of duds
Recommended it? Yes

It must have been hard to be Aerosmith back in 1996 and 97. First and foremost, they had to somehow follow up the biggest commercially successful album of their career, the mediocre Get a Grip, which took off mostly thanks to the three videos featuring at the time blonde girl of the moment Alicia...

this CD is aerosmith at a low. thankfully, it isnt as bad as done with mirrors, but it still isnt up to standard. it has a few well written songs on it but overall it is a big dissapointment. i would have liked to see a CD like they put out in the 70s where almost all the songs were good and...

Something Had To Give...

Pros More rock, less ballads.
Cons Not very organic. Heavy production and labored delivery. And a tad repetitive.
Recommended it? No

This is an interesting album from Aerosmith. Commercially, it was a flop (but not for lack of trying, see "Hole in my Soul"); it debuted strong but fell back in the charts rather quickly. It got a slight boost when "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" became a smash hit from the Armageddon soundtrack -... Read full review »

Pros It's Aerosmith....
Cons ...but not your daddy's Aerosmith.
Recommended it? Yes

On Nine Lives, Steven Tyler and the rest of his forty-something band members continue to embrace hard-rock with a lack of self-consciousness worthy of a group of high school battle-of-the-bands contestants. However, with this record they move towards a more musically inclined sound.

I will admit that I am an Aerosmith fan. I also am a critic when it comes to every CD I come across. This is a phenominal record. From the very start, it's rocking hard. "Falling In Love", "Ain't That a B***h", and "Hole In My Soul" are all tremendous songs. The guitar work by Joe Perry is mind... Read full review »

Album Of Forgettable Material Pandering to the MTV Crowd

Pros First Five Minutes Of "Fallen Angels", "Ain't That A B*tch"
Cons Mostly Forgettable Material, Poor Production
Recommended it? Yes

Face it. Aerosmith is not a real band anymore. They just don't have the integrity and energy to put out a focused effort. They are a merchandising machine that is most interested in selling product. That aside, "Nine Lives" isn't completely bad. It has its moments, and it's definately better than... Read full review »

For those of you not familiar with Aerosmith, the following is a brief history: The band, a bare-bones rock n' roll group, was formed in 1970 and released their self-titled debut in 1973. After a series of hits and misses (most of which were hits to me, but it's an objective thing), Aerosmith... Read full review »

If you like Aerosmith, you already have this album. If you like them as much as I do, you bought it the day it came out. I had been anticipating this album since I read about its production in Entertainment Weekly way back in 1996! Over one year, and a few producers later, this album hit the... Read full review »

The first ever song I heard by Aerosmith, which I knew was by them anyway, was I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. This song instantly became my favourite song of all time, so I felt that I needed to buy the album. Even though I had no idea what the rest of Aerosmith's stuff was like I wrongly assumed it...

This was the first album released by Aerosmith after a brief hiatus. Released in 1997, this album grabbed you by the balls and said, let's go. This album showed the growth of the band by bringing out a new sound. A bit of a heavier sound, a sound very much "in" today. This is one of the few albums... Read full review »
